Good speaker. Love the design
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great sound for a medium sized room. The rubber goes all the way around and makes it feel very sturdy.

Great Bluetooth speaker for the Beach or Camping

Dissapointing
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I really wanted to be able to give this speaker a 5 star rating. Pros: It sounds really good, it looks really good. I haven't had a chance to throw it into water yet so I can't speak to the IP67 rating. CONS: The Bluetooth pairing is very unstable, it constantly drops. The other day after it dropped I was able to re-connect it but no matter what I did I couldn't get sound to play through the speaker. I bought 2 of them to create a stereo pair, which sounds great and offers better sound coverage pointing in different directions since they aren't super loud. The problem is it's constantly dropping the 2nd speaker from the pair. They can't handle any heat, if you are using them outside make sure they are in the shade, if they get warm at all they will just shut down. While it does sound really good like any Sony should, it doesn't get very loud. Lastly, the stated battery life is a joke. At 3/4 volume the battery will last about 8 hours which is decent but no where near the 24 hours they advertise. I can't recommend a better option but I can say it's worth looking into other options and finding something else.

Posted .Hi Jrfromffx, Thank you for sharing your time with the Sony XE300 portable speaker. While we are happy that you are impressed with the sound quality, we're sad to hear that you are having connectivity and battery issues. This is definitely not what we wanted you to experience. Please make sure that your device has the latest firmware update. The firmware release can help improve connectivity and retention of the Sound settings.
The optimal operating temperature of the device is 5 °C – 35 °C.
We recommend not to use or leave the unit in an extremely cold or hot environment (temperature outside the range of 5 °C – 35 °C). If the unit is used or left in outside the above range, the unit may automatically stop to protect internal circuitry.
As for the battery, please make sure to fully charge it every time it's depleted. It may take approximately 5 hours for the empty battery to be fully charged (100%) while the unit is powered off.
I hope this helps but if you still need assistance, do not hesitate to drop us an email at socialsupport@am.sony.com with the following details:

Good speaker for its size.
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It's really loud, there is a bit of a tingyness when you turn on the extra bass but even with it turned off it's still has a good bassy feeling. Feels durable too since it's a bit heavy

Posted .Hi SITHsayer,
Thanks for commenting. We're glad to hear that you find the music of your SRS-XE300 crisp. We greatly appreciate your feedback about the volume and sound quality of the speaker. The SRS-XE300 is designed to provide a balanced sound experience, but we understand that volume preferences can vary. You might want to explore the equalizer settings in the Sony Music Center app to enhance the volume to your liking. As for the lossless audio, the SRS-XE300 supports LDAC, which is a codec capable of transmitting high-resolution audio over Bluetooth. While it may not be entirely lossless, LDAC provides a significantly higher quality audio experience compared to standard Bluetooth codecs.
We appreciate your input and hope this information helps you get the most out of your speaker.
Thank you for choosing Sony!
Best regards,
Romeo
