Horrible purchase.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Returned, sounds wasn’t nearly what I thought it would be. My 7 year old tiny ultimate ears I got on sale for 49 years ago is way better and about 1/3 the size. Crazy it was so terrible.

Posted .Hi Dill,
We regret to hear that you were not satisfied with the speaker. Your feedback is extremely important to us and is very much appreciated. For optimum performance, it is recommended to install the latest software version of the speaker (via the Sony Music Center app). It is also recommended to 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.
Additionally, you have the option to adjust the sound effects and equalizer function of the speaker to fine-tune the sound quality to your needs. You can also use the Party Connect function and Stereo Pair function to enjoy a more powerful sound.
Thanks again for sharing your review and we hope you will consider Sony for your future purchases.
-Ralph

Disgruntled
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Set up was easy. Much lower sound than what I anticipated outdoors. If you were not directly in front of the speakers you could barely hear the sound. Definitely not 360 degrees. I took both speakers back.

Posted .Hi RaulV, We’re sorry to hear you did not have a great experience with your Sony SRSXG300. Please note: Actual performance time may vary due to the volume, songs played, surrounding temperature, and usage conditions.
The battery life of the XG300 is indeed expected to last for approximately 3-4 hours, provided that the volume level is set to 50 (MAX.), MEGA BASS set to on, and Lighting function enabled.
If the built-in battery is fully charged (using a BLUETOOTH connection), it can last for about 25 hours provided that the volume level is set to 24, the MEGA BASS sound effect is activated, and the lighting function is deactivated.). Hope this helps!
You may also refer to this link for more information about the charging and the built-in battery of the unit: https://helpguide.sony.net/speaker/srs-xg300/v1/en/contents/TP1000669896.html

Posted .Hi Tjohnson, That's really cool! Thank you so much for the 5-stars review! We are truly happy to hear you are enjoying the amazing sound quality and overall performance of the unit. Good to know that these speakers were a great gift for a music lover teenage boy. 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. We look forward to seeing more of your reviews in the future. Thanks for choosing Sony! -Jess

Super easy setup with tremendous sound!
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sony's new XE300 Portable X-Series Bluetooth Speaker is a complete homerun! It was super simple to setup and sync to our phones (Samsung S10+and Pixel 6) which has not always been the case with other products we have tried. It is solidly built with a rubber coating that protects both the controls and the charging port that allows you to confidently take it outdoors. Charging is via a USB-C plug that is behind a protective flap and the battery life is very good lasting for several hours. The Blue Tooth range is quite good and operates flawlessly. The device can also act as a speakerphone for your cellphone although the internal microphone doesn't provide the best quality. And the sound! This thing has amazing bass for its size and Sony has somehow designed the speaker to spread the sound around in almost 360 degrees which means that not only can it fill a room but it is even effective outside. The overall sound quality is well balanced with good midrange and high frequencies to complement the bass and keep it from sounding "boomy". Overall, I highly recommend this speaker to anyone in the market for a portable speaker that won't make you compromise on sound quality!

Posted .Hi Pelonriver, Thank you for taking the time to review the XE200 X-Series Portable Wireless Speaker. Life should be lived at full volume. That means getting your friends together, turning up the music to full volume and dancing all night to a clear, rich sound. With our X-Series range of speakers, you can make the most of every single moment, power parties you’ll remember forever and always live your life out loud.
The sound may become low in the following cases. This is not a malfunction.
When the built-in battery is running low and the CHARGE indicator flashes slowly, while the speaker is being powered by the built-in battery only.
When the rechargeable built-in battery is running low as a result of long-time use of the speaker at a loud volume even though the speaker was connected to an AC outlet by a USB AC adaptor (commercially available) or to a computer that comes equipped with a USB charging port.
When the ambient temperature of the speaker is high.
If the sound becomes low while in use, follow the procedure below.
1. Turn off the speaker.
.2. Charge the built-in battery sufficiently.

Dead after 5 weeks
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It worked great for 5 weeks, then it turned itself off and will not turn on again. Apparently, the return period is over, no matter what, so I guess I am stuck with a paper weight. I'll try to contact Sony, but I don't expect that to go anywhere.

Posted .Hi AngelaP,
Thank you for the review. We're sorry to hear what happened with your speaker. The battery and sound quality of the speaker are related when it comes to performance. Usually, the sound becomes low when the battery is low. When the voice guidance says “Low Battery, Please Recharge Speaker” and the CHARGE indicator flashes slowly, the built-in battery is running low and needs to be charged. Turn off the speaker and charge the built-in battery sufficiently.
