    Purchased on sale, as in $150 off! Phenomenal speaker, great soundstage. I’ve had several of the JBL’s over the years that were a little smaller, and this one was is bigger and badder! We use it outside in our ”cabana” (originally a large open-sided hay shed) for bluegrass and jazz music while we barbecue, cook steaks and wings until the sun goes down. Then just carry back up to the house. I’m an audio file, and I love this thing.

      Hello MRblue, We are happy that you now have a good speaker and that you like its battery life. With regard to your low sound concern, please make sure to turn up the volume of the speaker and the connected device. The sound of the speaker may become low 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 or when the ambient temperature of the speaker is high. We take all user input seriously and will make sure your comments reach the appropriate person. Should you need further assistance, you can email us at socialsupport@am.sony.com. Thank you for trusting Sony! Vincent Sony_US

    Nice looking speaker with long battery life. However, the sound is not as loud as what I would have liked. There are cheaper brands out there that produce more sound and are smaller in size. It does have a nice base, but other than that the sound is poor. My Alexa is louder than this.

      Hi HeatherG, We are sorry to hear that the SRSXE300 did not meet all of your expectations.

      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.
      Turn off the speaker.
      Charge the built-in battery sufficiently.

      May we contact you to help? If so, please email the below information to socialsupport@am.sony.com
      Apologies if you disclosed some of this information in your review and to customer service, we just want to ensure that we have your accurate details at the time of communication.
