    Good sound , good connection, poor battery life. Wish it were louder but the build quality seems good. Powers on fast and connects fast. Better connection than a couple other speakers I have but the battery dies quite fast.

      Hi DustinW,

      Thanks for sharing your review and experience with the XG300. We're glad that you like the design, sound quality, and connectivity of the speaker. Your feedback about the battery life and volume is greatly appreciated.

      For optimum performance, make sure that the software version of the speaker is up-to-date. You may find this link helpful:

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

      Make sure 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.

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

      https://helpguide.sony.net/speaker/srs-xg300/v1/en/contents/TP1000669923.html

      Additionally, you can use the Party Connect function and Stereo Pair function to enjoy a more powerful sound. You may refer to these links for more information:

      https://helpguide.sony.net/speaker/srs-xg300/v1/en/contents/TP1000669921.html https://helpguide.sony.net/speaker/srs-xg300/v1/en/contents/TP1000669922.html

      The speaker has approximately 25 hours of battery life when fully charged. (Provided that the volume level of the speaker is set to 24, the sound effect is set to MEGA BASS, and the lighting function is set to off). Make sure to charge the built-in battery sufficiently. Actual performance time may vary due to the volume, songs played, surrounding temperature, and usage conditions. For more information, please refer to this link (under "Built-in battery life"):

    I would say that this speaker is one of the best sounding speakers in its class. I've listened to the Bose and Jbl with similar size and the clarity of sound is unmatched. In addidtion if you have other party mode capable Sony speakers you can play them together for more volume. All the way up to the block party size!

    This is our 3rd Sony Bluetooth speaker and is the best one we have owned. It beats out the other brands we have tried (Bose, LifeProof and Altec Lansing). My wife uses Bluetooth speakers in her preschool so they get used a lot.

    Sony is a dependable product. The reason we bought this particular speaker is to use in a piece of heavy equipment. In the store it sounded loud enough for our purpose. However, in a large piece of equipment, it does not go loud enough. Great product - just not loud enough for our specific purpose.

      Hi DonnaB, We're truly glad you like most of the features of this speaker. We're sorry to hear if you find the speaker doesn't get very loud for your specific purpose. 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). If the Sound becomes low while in use, refer to these helpful links:

      https://www.sony.com/electronics/support/speakers-wireless-speakers/srs-xe300/articles/00278737

      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.

    Speaker is sturdy and sound is decent with good bass. Easy to use in mono mode but the stereo option (if you own two) unfortunately requires the app to be opened each time you want to enable stereo. Although they sound good in stereo given the sound stage of the music the sound can drop out momentarily due to signal issues.
