    I wanted a single speaker unit with Bluetooth so my guests could stream their music when they visit. The Sony speaker will do this but the sound quality is not up to the level I would expect from Sony or this price point. This is not a Sonos guys. At least it’s rechargeable and portable.

      Hi User836741, thanks for sharing your experience with the Sony - XG300 Portable Speaker. We are genuinely sorry to hear that it has not performed as you expected. We do have some useful recommendations we'd like to share, if what you're looking for is to enhance the sound quality.
      1- Download the Sony Music Center app and adjust the Sound quality settings and the Equalizer to your preference
      2- Switch the Bluetooth connection to Priority on Sound Quality
      3- Press the MEGA BASS button on the speaker for a real enhanced bass effect
      4- Turn on the Live Sound Effect within the Sony Music Center app, you can go to Settings > Sound > Sound effect > Live Sound
      We hope these steps help to make your experience better. Thank you for choosing Sony. Regards, - Dominick Sony_US

    It works fine but not very loud. I have a $49 no-name speaker I bought at the swap meet that’s louder. Anyways I’d recommending upgrading to the $500 Sony speaker which is a lot of money but beautiful loud sound quality

      Hi AntonioQ,

      You made the right choice! With the 25 hours of battery life and IP67 water and dust resistance of the XG300 wireless speaker, you can enjoy a whole day of party from the beach, to the park, and to the pool. Stream anywhere and get things booming with Party Connect where you can combine up to 100 compatible X-series wireless speakers with BLUETOOTH technology and sync your music so everyone dances to the same beat. Make sure to download the Sony | Music Center app to Optimize audio settings, select playlist, cue the next song, and control Party Connect. Thank you for choosing Sony!

      Hi TheCat22,

      Thanks for sharing your review and experience with the XG300. Your feedback about the volume is greatly 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

      The overall 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 become low in the following cases. This is not a malfunction.

      -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 can also adjust the sound settings of the speaker to tailor-fit the sound quality to your needs. You may find this link helpful:

      Hi EddiZ, Fantastic! We're very happy to hear that the new owner of the Sony SRSXE200 loves it. The XE200 speaker sends sound out from a small, compact unit. You can spread sound wider with the Line-Shape Diffuser and enjoy powerful sound pressure and clarity with the X-Balanced Speaker, all housed inside a portable speaker with a handy strap. Pair with IP67 Water resistance, dustproof and shockproof design, this speaker is made for even the strongest elements. Keep the party going with up to 16-hours of battery life on a single charge and USB-C quick charging gives you up to 70 minutes of playback after just 10 minutes of charge time. Thanks for choosing Sony and we're looking forward to your next purchase! -Sam Sony_US

      Hi KeithP, we're glad you love our product. We appreciate your feedback regarding the Line-Shape Diffuser feature of this SRSXE200. 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 you are at the front or to the side of the speaker. This means that everyone in your venue can dance to the same music feeling the same sound quality. Unlike a conventional speaker, with most of the energy focused from the center of the cone, our unique Line-Shape Diffuser refocuses the sound through a narrow aperture. The increase in sound pressure energy spreads the audio equally in each direction both further and wider out from the speaker.

      The XE200 speaker sends sound out from a small, compact unit. You can spread sound wider with the Line-Shape Diffuser and enjoy powerful sound pressure and clarity with the X-Balanced Speaker, all housed inside a portable speaker with a handy strap. Pair with IP67 Water resistance, dustproof and shockproof design, this speaker is made for even the strongest elements. Keep the party going with up to 16-hours of battery life on a single charge and USB-C quick charging gives you up to 70 minutes of playback after just 10 minutes of charge time.
