    Quality of the product seems great. It can be set by the pool and get slashed and still work great. I don't know if I would submerge it or leave it out in the rain but it should be ok if you accidentally did.

      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

    I've had JBL speakers all my life, specifically the charge series and it's about the same size as the speaker so I decided to buy this for my girlfriend since her speaker wasn't working. When we tested it out I noticed that although my speaker has been probably 4 years old(Charge 4) now and it still had more fullness in bass and sound clarity than the Sony speaker although they were in the same price range.

    The Bluetooth speaker stop working after 3 months after I literally had used it the night before. I thought maybe it needed to be recharged took it to Best Buy and Geek squad was not able to repair it and had to order me a new one. Sad to see a Sony product did live to its standards.

    Sony quality sound that's highly portable

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

    I am so impressed with how Sony continues to reduce the size and weight of these portable speakers while continuing to improve the sound. At 1 lb and 9" long, the SRSXE200 X-Series is another well made portable speaker that is light enough to go anywhere, but loud enough to be used poolside. With the IP67 design, and charging port cover, I haven't had any issues with water or dirt impacting performance when taking this speaker camping, kayaking, or to the pool. In the box is the speaker with carry strap, USB-C charging cable, and manual. Setup is seamless, I pressed the bluetooth button, and within seconds a connection prompt appeared on my Android phone. Select connect and you're done. I did charge it fully out of the box, and have used it for 8 hours straight, and for a total of ~15 hours prior to the next charge. To get even more functionality, you will also want to install the Sony Music Center app. This allows for customized audio settings and controls the Party Connect functionality. The sound quality, especially for the size, is fantastic, and will fill a room with quality sound that has depth and tone at all ranges. The bass isn't overpowering and the treble isn't tinny due to the combination of Sony's Line-Shape Diffuser build and X-Balanced technologies. Other features to note are Echo Cancelling technology to allow multiple parties to speak using the speaker for calling. This supports clear sound from both people talking, and doesn't cut anyone off. I found the built in mic to be a bit limited on the distance it will pick up my voice, but this isn't my primary use for the speaker, and I consider this limitation to be minor. Another unique feature is the "Party Connect" option. From the app, this function allows for up to 100 Sony compatible speakers to be linked for large rooms, outdoor venues, and parties. Lastly, from the app, there is a Stereo Pair function that allows pairing of two speakers for stereo sound that provides portable sound for an immersive sound experience, or even movies. Overall the SRSEX200 gets a strong recommendation from my active family. To date, I have taken this speaker hiking, camping, sports events, to the lake and the pool, it has been dropped multiple times, accidentally kicked, and caught in a rain storm. No matter what happens, the speaker still performs well, can keep up with my activity level, and the sound cannot be beat from such a portable speaker!

      Hi EngineerMom, Thank you for your awesome review! We are so glad to hear that you are happy with your new SRSXE200. Unlike the circular diaphragm in a conventional speaker unit, the newly developed X-Balanced Speaker Unit in the XE200 features a non-circular diaphragm that realizes more sound pressure for a high-quality sound. Thank you for choosing Sony! -Carl Sony_US
