Sounds like it's projecting music out of a box
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Majority of the sounds that come out of this speaker lacks clarity. You will have to tweak with the EQ to make it sound somewhat decent. A step down from the previous model.

Posted .Hi AmpOB,
Thank you for taking the time to review your SRS-XE200 speaker. We're so sorry if your wife finds the speaker doesn't get very loud and it hasn't performed to your standards. Your feedback is extremely important to us and is very much appreciated. We do have good information if the sound becomes low while in use, and we could've walked you through on how to resolve this issue.
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.
- If the sound becomes low while in use, we recommend to turn off the speaker, then charge the built-in battery sufficiently.
It's unfortunate to learn that the unit had to be returned. We hope you will consider Sony again in a future purchase. Thank you for the feedback.
Sincerely,
Jess

Be(a)st portable Bluetooth speaker
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sony XG300 is the latest portable Bluetooth speaker from Sony. It is compact, with a sleek and modern design. The retractable rubber handle to hold and carry the speaker along with the fabric cover adds a rugged look to the speaker. The box includes USB C cable and the AC power adapter. The charging port is housed at the back of the speaker and has a door to cover them. There is also a USB A port to charge other devices. The speaker is primarily connected and controlled via Bluetooth, but you do have the option to plug in an Aux cable for a wired connection. There is a dedicated Battery Care button that will help extend the battery life by only allowing to charge the speaker to 90%. Make sure you download the Sony Music Center app to control the speaker and customize your settings. There is an LED ring light on the side of the speaker. It provides ambient lighting and can be synchronized with your music. If you have compatible speakers (max one hundred), you can set them up in party mode where all your speakers will play the same music as well as the lights synchronize up. The battery life is amazing, rated at 25 hours. I was able to use it for a few hours a day and didn't need to recharge for a week. It depends on your usage and other settings, plus a quick 10 min charge gives you an hour of playback time. The speaker also has a microphone, which comes in handy to be used for calls when paired with your phone. It wasn't bad when I tried it for few calls and Sony has incorporated Echo Cancelling technology to that. This speaker is rated IP67, which means you can carry it to the beach and parks and make it waterproof and dustproof. The power button as well as music control button on the speaker itself comes in handy for skipping tracks as well as volume control without opening the app on your phone. If you are looking for a portable speaker in this range and size, XG300 is the best that is out there, and I would definitely recommend it.

Posted .Hi Prat,
Thanks for sharing your in-depth review of this amazing speaker. We're glad that you like the design, lighting function, battery life, IP67 rating, and sound quality of the speaker.
With the 25 hours of battery life and IP67 water and dust resistance of the XG300 wireless speaker, you can enjoy a whole day of party from the beach, to the park, and to the pool. Stream anywhere and get things booming with Party Connect where you can combine up to 100 compatible X-series wireless speakers with BLUETOOTH technology and sync your music so everyone dances to the same beat. Make sure to download the Sony | Music Center app to Optimize audio settings, select playlist, cue the next Sony, and control Party Connect. Thanks for choosing Sony!

Posted .Hi Lumpy,
We regret to hear that you were not satisfied with the SRSXG300. The XG300 features 3 sound effects depending on your needs (STAMINA, EXTRA BASS, and LIVE SOUND). This function can also be adjusted on the Sony Music Center app. Additionally, there is a built-in EQ that has 20 points of control for Bass, Midrange, and Treble to tailor-fit the sound quality to your needs. The overall volume may vary depending on your source. The sound may also become low when the battery of the speaker is insufficient. For optimum performance, it is recommended to charge the built-in battery sufficiently.
Thanks again for sharing your review and we hope you will consider Sony for your future purchases.

Very disappointed
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I had high hopes for this speaker, as it is a Sony. Other Sony speakers we have purchased have blown us away. Sadly, this did not happen with this speaker. It sounded like the music was coming from inside a barrel, and no matter what we did, the sound was awful. So, if you are looking for a great-sounding speaker, look elsewhere. We returned this speaker.

Good speaker
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I used to have the xb33 until i saw this. I decided to get this speaker to see how good it was and I'm impressed.In my opinion you're getting a good quality speaker for it's price. But if you still have the xb33 from last year I think you should be ok not getting this speaker. Both the xb33 and xg300 are pretty much the same in my opinion. If you don't have the xb33 then i recommend this xg300 speaker.

great until a device update
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I'm glad I waited until today to write a review. This thing worked great in Party Mode connecting with an ULT Field 7. Until it took an update. Now the audio cuts in and out. Only when using this mode. Sony dropped the price by $200 recently which prompted the purchase. Shortly afterward they dropped a bunch of new ULT devices. I hope their is no intentional obsoletion at play.

Posted .Hello Cthulhu, thank you for reaching out to us! We're sorry to hear that your XG300 speaker is experiencing issues following the software update. To resolve this, please try resetting the speaker by pressing and holding the (play)/(call) button along with the MEGA BASS button until the device powers off (this should take about 5 seconds or longer). Please ensure that the speaker is turned on while performing these steps, as it cannot be initialized when powered off. If the problem persists, please contact us at socialsupport@am.sony.com, providing your name, username, model number, a description of the issue, and your telephone number. We are here to assist you further. Best regards, -Jenn.
