Battery life claims are a lie
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.For the price, I was hoping it would be able to get a lot louder. It definitely beats my old speaker, but that’s not saying much cuz my old one was like $10 and 1/5 the size. Also, the 16hr battery life is a complete lie. I get 3 hours before the low battery warning alert and can maybe get 4 hours out of a full charge. That’s really disappointing. Like why lie? Just say 4 hours max, that’s still a good battery.

Posted .Hi Mikey615,
Thank you for taking the time to review your SRS-XE200 speaker. We're so sorry if you find the speaker doesn't get very loud and 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. 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://helpguide.sony.net/speaker/srs-xe200/v1/en/contents/TP1000611675.html
https://www.sony.com/electronics/support/speakers-wireless-speakers/srs-xe300/articles/00278737
The XE200 will give you 16 hours of play when the battery is fully charged, meaning a single charge should be long enough to power through any party. And Sony's unique mic sensing technology, Ambient Noise Sensing, helps save battery when used outside.
Built-in battery life (while the speaker is not in Battery Care mode and a BLUETOOTH connection is established)
Approx. 16 hours: Volume level: 31, STAMINA: on
Approx. 10 hours (default): Volume level: 30, STAMINA: off
Approx. 3 hours: Volume level: 50 (MAX.), STAMINA: off
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.

Good but there's better
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Works well when loud! Not the best speaker when lower volumes!

Posted .Hi HunterB,
Thank you for the review! We're glad to hear that you like the loud volume of the headphones. We do apologize for the inconvenience. When the speaker is in low volume, the speaker needs to be charge. If the CHARGE indicator starts flashing slowly, turn off the speaker and charge the built-in battery sufficiently. Please check this article on how to isolate and resolve your issue.

Rugged, Stylish, Great Sound
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sony seems to make the best portable speakers out there. I picked this one as an upgrade to a the SRS-XB23 (which is still a great speaker). The XE300 has better sound to me. There are two features that have me using this every day. One, you can connect two devices to it at the same time, and two, it works well as a speakerphone. I have this connected to my phone for listening to music and podcasts throughout the day, and also paired to a laptop to use when I need to join meetings. The sound is great, a little bass heavy at first but can be adjusted in the Sony Music Center app. Using it for calls has worked surprisingly well. People on the other end said that my voice was clear and no issues. It is also very nice looking. While this is a rugged speaker, the texture almost looks like fabric, and it looks very nice. The shape is really nice for a rather bulky speaker, the angles make it easy to pick up or set on the side if you like. Having it out by the pool, there is no need to worry about splashes. Charging is done over usb type c, and charged very quickly. Battery life is great, I’m getting near the claimed 24 hours. This speaker can also be joined as a group with others (using the Party Connect feature). This allows all joined speakers to act as one, or you can join two together to make a stereo pair. I can’t think of any faults with this product, it seems perfect for my needs and I expect it to last for years.

Buy it, just do it.
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I am very pleased with the Sony SRSXE200 Portable speaker for many reasons. The one thing with technology that continuously impresses me is the idea of creating items in smaller packages. The speaker itself is incredibly light, durable, water proof, long lasting battery, quick charge and superior sound in such a small compact size. If you have an android phone then the speaker will offer quick pair..which I was unable to test. With my experience though, the speaker charges lighting quick, and has exceptional sound. I left the speaker outside overnight knowing it was going to rain, just to mimic what would be if I had friends over and forgot about it. The next morning I took a towel, cleaned off the device and it played flawlessly, all while looking brand new. The product is also IPX rated so if you were to bring this to a beach, sand would not destroy it or get inside of the product...its really intelligently manufactured. It also is charged via USB-C which is great. Another thing I specifically would like to mention is the overall sound quality that the speaker produces. I am not an audiophile but to me the sound is incredible and sounds very stable no matter where you are near the speaker. Inside of a room the sound is incredible and outside without the sound bouncing off of walls, it still sounds well balanced and exceptionally loud. I highly recommend this speaker, so much so I am going to purchase one to pair with this speaker.

No, I would not recommend this to a friend Could be better, could be worse.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Not a horrible speaker, wish the audio was a little bit more crisp, and battery is pretty bad, it seems like it needs charged pretty often. Yet it still succeeds what what it needs to, so its a fairly avarage speaker.

Posted .Hi JonathanS, Thank you for your feedback on the SRS-XE300. We're sorry to hear that the audio quality and battery life did not meet your expectations. The SRS-XE300 is designed to deliver clear and powerful sound, and we want to ensure you get the best experience possible.
To enhance the audio crispness, we recommend using the Sony Music Center app, which allows you to fine-tune the sound settings, including the equalizer (EQ) options. This can help you achieve the desired audio quality.
Regarding the battery life, it's important to fully charge the speaker, especially after it has gone below 20 or 10%, as this can impact performance. Additionally, turning on the STAMINA function and lowering the volume can help protect the battery and extend its life.
