    Decent device for listening at the park with just a few friends or people. Not the best range of sound but it's pretty good. There is no handle and it can be a little difficult to carry sometimes.

      Hi JaDee,

      Thank you for sharing your feedback and for giving the SRS-XE300 a try. We're glad to hear you found the sound satisfactory, though we understand you were hoping for deeper bass performance.

      The SRS-XE300 is designed with a Line-Shaped Diffuser to deliver clear, well-balanced sound and wide coverage, making it ideal for both indoor and outdoor use. For listeners seeking a more powerful low-end experience, models such as the SRS-XG300 or SRS-XV800 offer larger woofers and enhanced bass performance.

      We truly appreciate your comments—they help us continue improving our products!

      Thanks for considering Sony!

      Regards,
      Dominick Sony_US

      Hi AmberD,

      While we're glad that you like most of the features, we're so sorry if you find the speaker doesn't get very loud. We want to make sure you are getting the most out of your speaker. 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.

      • 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.
      • If the sound becomes low while in use, follow the procedure below.
      1. Turn off the speaker.
      2. Charge the built-in battery sufficiently.

      For additional troubleshooting, refer to this help guide link:  https://helpguide.sony.net/speaker/srs-xg300/v1/en/contents/TP1000669900.html

    You want your Bluetooth speaker to be truly portable, durable, and hassle-free. Sony's SRS-XE300 speaker is a great solution with tons of great features offered to keep your party going, wherever you want to go. The SRS-XE300 is a mammoth device, measuring out at just under 10" tall and pretty hefty in weight. It has a unique, five-sided shape that is promoted to provide extra power and a more balanced clarity of sound. Most of the speaker is covered in a grippable rubber coating with a line shape diffuser that allows audio to be distributed evenly around a room and conserves sound quality. I did find myself accidentally pressing the buttons on occasion when picking up the speaker and moving it around, as the buttons are all prominently lined up on one side. It is water, dust, and shock proof to an extent, able to withstand everyday bumps - you can feel safe bringing this baby to a beach or poolside. Connecting via Bluetooth is quick and easy, and the Sony Music Connect app allows for hassle-free control and access to your mobile device's music and audio apps all in one location. And the battery life is pretty solid, with 24 hours of playtime after a full charge and a quick 70-minute play usage with a 10-minute charge. A nice feature is its battery care protection, which extends battery life span by stopping charges short of 100%. Sound and audio from this device is unsurprisingly crisp and full. It has a noticeable richness in bass tones and provides clear, distortion-free sound in all directions. I was a little underwhelmed by the actual max volume, however, as I had expected bigger sound from such a big device. With the SRS-XE300, you are trading loudness for clarity, which seems fair. Despite just a few shortcomings, the SRS-XE300 portable speaker is an impressive option. Its weighted, large size will withstand everyday usage, and it has the juice to last all day. It is easy to setup and pair, and its sound is rich and clear from all angles. Sony has another great speaker for you to get your hands on.

To get the most out of the volume, turn up the volume of the speaker and the connected device.
