    Always been a Sony fan. Worked well, but I wish it was a little louder. Returned it for the bigger horizontal Sony speaker. (SRS-XG300)

    “Poor sound quality”

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I was dissatisfied with this speaker. In my opinion, they should make the necessary adjustments, starting with the sound quality. The sound is not loud enough and appears to be static. It's not worth the high price for the low quality it offers. Sony fell short of my expectations.

      Hi Chaak,

      We regret to hear that you are not satisfied with the XG300. Your feedback is extremely important to us and is very much 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

      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. Please refer to this link:

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

      You may also find this link helpful:

      https://helpguide.sony.net/speaker/srs-xg300/v1/en/contents/TP1000669901.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:

    The speaker sounded good in a quiet room but not loud enough when there's other noise around

      Hi CalandraC, Thank you for your feedback. We're glad that you like the sound quality in a quiet room. This speaker is suitable for both indoor and outdoor use, especially when considering the speaker’s design with an IP67 rating. Meaning it is indeed built to withstand exposure to natural elements such as dust and water.

      However, we understand your concern about sound performance when there's other noise around. It's important to note that the sound performance can vary depending on the specific outdoor environment, including factors such as wind, background noise, and open spaces, which may affect the perceived loudness.

      In some cases, you might find that the speaker's sound may not be as loud as desired for outdoor use, especially in noisy or wide-open areas. For optimal sound quality and performance, we recommend using the speaker primarily for indoor purposes, where environmental factors are more likely controlled, and you can fully enjoy its audio capabilities.

      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. Thank you for choosing Sony! -Erin Sony_US

      Hello Esty711,
      Thank you for sharing your feedback regarding your Sony SRSXE300 Portable Speaker. While we're glad you appreciate the sound quality, we're sorry to hear you find the speaker doesn't get very loud as you would like. 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). When the volume of the speaker sounds low, adjust the volume level of the BLUETOOTH device to an appropriate one, and then adjust the volume level of the speaker with the +/- (volume) buttons on the speaker.

      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/00278737https://helpguide.sony.net/speaker/srs-xe300/v1/en/contents/TP1000611675.htmlhttps://www.sony.com/electronics/support/speakers-wireless-speakers/srs-xe300/articles/00278737

      By downloading the Sony Music Center app, you will find all sorts of tools to fine-tune the speaker using the built-in EQ and maximize the volume to ensure optimal listening experience. 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.

      If you need further assistance regarding your concern, you can email us at socialsupport@am.sony.com with the following details:

      Hi Annthrax,

      Thank you for taking the time to review your XG300 speaker. We're so sorry it hasn't performed to your standards when it comes to battery life. We want to make sure you are getting the most out of your speaker. The XG300 will give you 25 hours of play when the battery is fully charged, meaning a single charge should be long enough to power through any party.

      Built-in battery life (while the speaker is not in Battery Care mode and a BLUETOOTH connection is established)
      Approx. 25 hours: Volume level: 24, Sound: MEGA BASS on, Lighting: off
      Approx. 15 hours (default): Volume level: 24, MEGA BASS on, Lighting: on
      Approx. 5 hours: Volume level: 50 (MAX.), MEGA BASS on, Lighting: off
      Approx. 4 hours: Volume level: 50 (MAX.), MEGA BASS on, Lighting: on

      The built-in battery life above is measured using our specified music source. Actual performance time may vary from the listed time due to the volume, songs played, surrounding temperature, and usage conditions.
