      Hi VictorP,

      Thanks for sharing your review and experience with the XG300. Your feedback is extremely important to us and is very much appreciated. For optimum performance, make sure that the software version of the speaker is up-to-date. Please refer to this link for more information:

      https://www.sony.com/electronics/support/speakers-wireless-speakers/srs-xg300/software/00283954

      Sound quality and volume may vary depending on the source content. Turn up the volume of the speaker and the connected device. Make sure to also charge the built-in battery sufficiently. The sound may also become low in the following cases:

      -While the speaker is running on power from the rechargeable built-in battery, the sound may become low in the event that the rechargeable built-in battery is running out of power and the CHARGE indicator flashes slowly. This, however, does not indicate a malfunction.

      -When the ambient temperature of the speaker is high.

      You also have the option to adjust the sound settings of the speaker to tailor-fit the sound quality to your needs. For more information, please refer to this link:

      Hi JeesusCroisst,

      We regret to hear it hasn't performed to your standards when it comes to the sound quality. We want to make sure you are getting the most out of your speaker. Both of the XE200s speakers are facing the same direction so you can get true Left/Right separation like the artist intended. And with the Line-Shape Diffuser, the sound spreads further to the front area of the speaker, allowing you to enjoy the same sound quality whether at the front or to the side of the speaker. This means everyone in your venue can dance to the same music, feeling the same sound quality. Know that we take all feedback seriously and will pass your suggestions along to the proper team for future enhancement.

      By downloading the Sony Music Center app, you will find all sorts of tools to fine-tune the speaker using the built-in EQ and maximize the volume to ensure optimal listening experience. To get the most out of the volume, turn up the volume of the speaker and the connected device. You may also find different devices will perform better than others, as will different apps due to different types of audio compression and transmission.

      If the sound is too low or the bass sound can't be heard, visit this link to help resolve the issue: https://www.sony.com/electronics/support/speakers-wireless-speakers/srs-xe200/articles/00278737

      The XE200 has a Line-Shape Diffuser that will help your music reach further, even to the side of the speaker. Plus, with a portable size and handy carry strap, you can take it anywhere you go with ease. Thank you for your purchase and for choosing Sony! -Jess Sony_US

      Hi DavidM,

      Thank you for taking the time to review your SRS-XE300 speaker. While we're glad you appreciate the sound quality, we're sorry to hear you find the speaker doesn't get very loud as you would liked. We want to make sure you are getting the most out of your speaker. Depending on the connected BLUETOOTH device, volume adjustment on the BLUETOOTH device may not change the volume level of the speaker (i.e. the (power) indicator does not flash). When the volume of the speaker sounds low, adjust the volume level of the BLUETOOTH device to an appropriate one, and then adjust the volume level of the speaker with the +/- (volume) buttons on the speaker.

      If the Sound becomes low while in use, refer to these helpful links:

      Hi Ryndi,
      Thank you for your time writing this review. We're glad to hear you like the XG300 speaker. We are sorry but if you are referring to the audio cable, this is not included in the package. You may connect devices such as smartphones, TVs, computers, etc. to the AUDIO IN jack (AUX) with an audio cable (commercially available).

      The XG300 speaker is built for taking high-quality sound with you wherever you go. Whether you’re having a garden party or heading to the beach, simply charge up, grab the easy to hold handle and take this durable, portable and great sounding speaker with you. Thank you so much for your purchase and for choosing Sony! - Kris Sony_US

    Not a horrible speaker, wish the audio was a little bit more crisp, and battery is pretty bad, it seems like it needs charged pretty often. Yet it still succeeds what what it needs to, so its a fairly avarage speaker.

      Hi JonathanS, Thank you for your feedback on the SRS-XE300. We're sorry to hear that the audio quality and battery life did not meet your expectations. The SRS-XE300 is designed to deliver clear and powerful sound, and we want to ensure you get the best experience possible.

      To enhance the audio crispness, we recommend using the Sony Music Center app, which allows you to fine-tune the sound settings, including the equalizer (EQ) options. This can help you achieve the desired audio quality.

      Regarding the battery life, it's important to fully charge the speaker, especially after it has gone below 20 or 10%, as this can impact performance. Additionally, turning on the STAMINA function and lowering the volume can help protect the battery and extend its life.

      Should you need further assistance, please email us at socialsupport@am.sony.com with the following details:
