Posted .Hi AmpOB,
Thank you for taking the time to review your SRS-XE200 speaker. We're so sorry if your wife finds the speaker doesn't get very loud and it hasn't performed to your standards. Your feedback is extremely important to us and is very much appreciated. We do have good information if the sound becomes low while in use, and we could've walked you through on how to resolve this issue.
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.
- If the sound becomes low while in use, we recommend to turn off the speaker, then charge the built-in battery sufficiently.
It's unfortunate to learn that the unit had to be returned. We hope you will consider Sony again in a future purchase. Thank you for the feedback.
Sincerely,
Jess

Be(a)st portable Bluetooth speaker
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sony XG300 is the latest portable Bluetooth speaker from Sony. It is compact, with a sleek and modern design. The retractable rubber handle to hold and carry the speaker along with the fabric cover adds a rugged look to the speaker. The box includes USB C cable and the AC power adapter. The charging port is housed at the back of the speaker and has a door to cover them. There is also a USB A port to charge other devices. The speaker is primarily connected and controlled via Bluetooth, but you do have the option to plug in an Aux cable for a wired connection. There is a dedicated Battery Care button that will help extend the battery life by only allowing to charge the speaker to 90%. Make sure you download the Sony Music Center app to control the speaker and customize your settings. There is an LED ring light on the side of the speaker. It provides ambient lighting and can be synchronized with your music. If you have compatible speakers (max one hundred), you can set them up in party mode where all your speakers will play the same music as well as the lights synchronize up. The battery life is amazing, rated at 25 hours. I was able to use it for a few hours a day and didn't need to recharge for a week. It depends on your usage and other settings, plus a quick 10 min charge gives you an hour of playback time. The speaker also has a microphone, which comes in handy to be used for calls when paired with your phone. It wasn't bad when I tried it for few calls and Sony has incorporated Echo Cancelling technology to that. This speaker is rated IP67, which means you can carry it to the beach and parks and make it waterproof and dustproof. The power button as well as music control button on the speaker itself comes in handy for skipping tracks as well as volume control without opening the app on your phone. If you are looking for a portable speaker in this range and size, XG300 is the best that is out there, and I would definitely recommend it.

Posted .Hi Lumpy,
We regret to hear that you were not satisfied with the SRSXG300. The XG300 features 3 sound effects depending on your needs (STAMINA, EXTRA BASS, and LIVE SOUND).

The overall volume may vary depending on your source. The sound may also become low when the battery of the speaker is insufficient. For optimum performance, it is recommended to charge the built-in battery sufficiently.
Thanks again for sharing your review and we hope you will consider Sony for your future purchases.

great until a device update
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I'm glad I waited until today to write a review. This thing worked great in Party Mode connecting with an ULT Field 7. Until it took an update. Now the audio cuts in and out. Only when using this mode. Sony dropped the price by $200 recently which prompted the purchase. Shortly afterward they dropped a bunch of new ULT devices. I hope their is no intentional obsoletion at play.

Bass Heavy Full Sound / Lacking in Highs
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.KEY FEATURES USB-C, 3.5mm Headphone, Bluetooth 5.2 Connections Up to 25 hours of playback on a single charge 70 minutes of playback on a 10 minute charge Lots of Bass & Entertainment in a Small Package INITIAL SET-UP Sony’s SRS-XG300 has the basics covered for connecting to a variety of peripheral equipment. Included in the connection options are: USB-C, 3.5mm stereo headphone connection, and Bluetooth 5.2. The speaker also includes a USB-A connection, but at this time, it is for charging a connected device only. The SRS-XG300 is equipped with the newest Bluetooth 5.2 standard that incorporates fast pair. I was skeptical at first, but the new fast pair feature worked awesome during the initial set-up, flawlessly and effortlessly syncing to my Galaxy S21. After the absolute minimal fuss pairing the speaker to my Android-based phone (Fast Pair does not work with iOS devices), I opened the Sony Music Center app and it immediately recognized the speaker. The Music Center app is Sony’s control app for customizing the variety of options in their speaker offerings. The app controls everything from the graphic equalizer, LED lighting and effects, Mega Bass, etc. While it is not my favorite app, it works well enough and is just easy enough to use without needing to be a geek to find the functions and settings. USE The SRS-XG300 is made to play loud and does it unashamedly so. The speaker is designed to fill larger venues with powerful sound and good bass. The speaker sports two 20mm tweeters, two woofers approximately 3 inches in diameter (yes, I used diameter even though they are square), and two passive radiators. Should you decide that the XG isn’t enough for your venue, the speaker is compatible with other Sony Bluetooth speakers, allowing it to be seamlessly linked to make your backyard concert even bigger. Sony has geared the speaker toward maximum volume and SPL levels. The XG300 can play all day long at loud listening levels without sounding tinny, thin, or shallow indicating that the speaker has reached its maximum load off the internal amp. Used with restraint, the speaker can play up to 25 hours without needing a recharge. I played it for hours over the course of the past few days and still haven’t charged the battery back-up. When that day does come, I can use the included AC adapter, or a USB-C cable with a healthy fast charger. Reaching a full charge takes a while, but if you are in a hurry and want your tunes back on right now, a person can get up to 70 minutes of playback with only a 10 minute charge. Awesome!!! Sony has done a great job making the XG300 your go-to speaker regardless of when and where you want to use it. The speaker is IP67 rated against dust and water intrusion making it an ideal travel companion for the beach or pool during these hot summer months. The buyer won’t have to worry about protecting the speaker, as it is resilient to the normal dangers associated with use by the pool or the beach. SOUND QUALITY This is not my first Sony speaker. This is the next generation of speaker that I hope would address the shortcomings I experienced in their 2 previous generations of Bluetooth speakers. That is the middling performance of the tweeters. Did Sony correct the shortcomings of their previous speakers and make the highs sound as great as the lows? The answer is: NO. Once again, I am let down by the audio quality of the tweeters. Ugh. Sony. You like to brag how the speaker covers the entire audible range, 20Hz – 20,000Hz. While this may be true, the audio quality from the tweeters is nowhere near as pleasing as the audio from the woofers. This isn’t the first time I’ve been left disappointed by the upper frequency reproduction of Sony speakers. My XB72 also left me unimpressed. I was hoping for a turnaround this go, but alas, it didn’t happen. I will fully admit, most people would call me an audio snob. I would trade features and fancy lights for accurate music reproduction any day. I know that I am in the minority and that is not what sells this day and age, but to me, it is what sells. The XG300 doesn’t sound awful, it just doesn’t have the clarity that it should. It feels like Sony focused all their attention to the bottom end and didn’t care about the higher octaves. CONCLUSION Sony has packed a lot into a little package. This speaker brings back memories of the old 80s and 90s boomboxes. That is a good thing. The XG300 can throw down some serious sound and do it all day without needing a charge. The bass from such a small package is impressive and would definitely be a good addition to a party atmosphere. The audio and lighting are customizable and the XG can even be paired with other Sony speakers to add even more sound and volume to your party. I’m still left wanting, though, in the highs. The tweeters just don’t do the speaker justice and this would not be my first choice for quiet, casual listening. It just doesn’t have the crystal clear highs that I want. However, as a go anywhere, do anything, live through the obstacles approach that Sony intended this to be, I think they did a great job. I’ll happy recommend it and give it a 4 star rating, held back only by the lack of clarity in the tweeters.

||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Says 52 hours of life…. Which is true BUT as the battery lowers so does the sound. If battery is at 60% and you have it all the way up its only playing loud up to 60% which means even though its on max valume its really dim

Posted .Hi Stephen14,
We regret to hear that you are not completely satisfied with the speaker. Your feedback 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:

This 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"):
