Customer Ratings & Reviews

The Sony SRS-XE200 Portable Wireless Speaker is the smallest version of Sony’s new line of portable speakers. This one is about 9” tall, 3” wide, and 3” deep. It’s pretty lightweight and can accompany you just about anywhere. That’s aided by the strap attached to it. It’s pretty nice because you can cinch it up to make sure it stays on your wrist or wherever you want to anchor it. From a design perspective, the charcoal gray coloring is sharp and the combination of mesh and rubber adds to it. That combination is not only for appearance as it also plays a role in the new speaker design and audio quality. It’s called a Line-Shape Diffuser and it’s supposed to push the audio out farther and wider for all to enjoy. I can say that I was slightly disappointed out of the box because I thought it was lacking compared to previous Sony models that I own. However, that’s not to say it’s awful either. It definitely carried throughout the room and even down the hallway. I just thought the sound was lacking. That’s where the Music Center App came to my rescue. Coupling that with the speaker, I was really able to thoroughly enjoy what I was listening to. From the calling side, I didn’t experience any issues there either. My callers were able to hear me well and I could hear them clearly. What more could you ask for? One thing that I am looking forward to doing is picking up another to do the Party Connect. I really like that they are allowing us to connect to multiple units to really ramp things up. This was on previous models and I am a big fan of it. From a simpler connectivity standpoint, I found it super easy to connect the SRS-XE200 to my phone and smart devices. I didn’t have any issues at all and certainly appreciate that. The Bluetooth and Google Fast Pair connections helped out greatly there. Lastly, the Sony SRS-XE200 feels like it was built to be easy to work with while being built to last. The control panel is nice, big, and convenient. The charging area is covered to keep things water and dust free. The unit itself is noted as going through extensive shock testing. It’s also built with sustainable efforts and I applaud Sony for that. Ultimately, I think this is a winning speaker once you have it set up with the Music Center app. I look forward to using it for years to come.

I bought two Sony XE300 Bluetooth Speakers to create stereo sound to use with my computer. These speakers are crystal clear and make music and movies sound spectacular on my computer and on their own paired with my iphone. The speakers really do have a 20 hour battery life. Set up and customization is easy using the app. Of note, I originally planned to buy JBL speakers, but when I heard the Sony speakers, I couldn't believe the difference in quality and had to get the Sony speakers. The larger Sony XG300 was actually the first Sony speaker I listened too. It sounds amazing too and I would have purchased it if I hadn't been looking for computer speakers because it has more kick and a "bass booster".

For the size and price this is a great speaker. Its more than enough to fill a bedroom, living room, or kitchen and the sound quality is good. The bass is good as well the only thing I can nitpick is at full volume it does lose a tiny bit of clarity but overall I really like this speaker. The battery life is also good, it pairs easily and its super portable, I would buy it again.

Couldn’t wait to un box the new Sony SRS-XE300. Plugged it in to fully charge and quickly downloaded the recommended music center app with ease. Cosmetically I like the look of the speaker especially with the cloth seams. Okay, now that it is fully charged, let’s talk about the sound. I used this for multiple applications, so let me start with the use of the call/voice pairing. I took a few calls from it and sounded very clear with no echoing. Next was the true sound quality test for music. A couple good things would have to be the improved base quality and the ability to not hear any distortion as I increased the volume to max volume. Unfortunately, I felt the highs in this speaker did not sound as crystal clear compared to other portable speakers I own. It’s not that it was bad, but not deserving of 5 stars. Solid sound though. I think why this product my be more appealing for some is all the cool features. One that is cool is that you can pair it with other speakers, shock resistant, water and dust proof (great around the pool), microphone pairing, and up to 24 hours battery life. I have only tested it for about 10 hours so far and is still running strong, which is a nice feature for me. All in all, I think this is an improvement from past Sony speakers I have used, but I think that if they can get a slightly better balance and clearness of the highs, they will compete with other high end products like Bose. I’m looking forward to taking this on my travels.

If you’re in the market for a portable, durable, and well designed Bluetooth speaker with multi -speaker pairing capabilities (up to 100), look no further. Whether filling the house or backyard with crisp and powerful audio, or taking a call in the office, the SRS-XE300 seems to check all the boxes. The battery life is exceptional and provides up to 24 hours of play time on a full charge. Additionally, Sony claims that the quick charge feature will provide 70 minutes of play time with just a 10 minute charge from it’s USB-C charging port. To keep that battery healthy the Battery Care features works to preserves optimal battery life by preventing overcharging. The Music Center app has some great features and can enable some interesting functions. For example, Party Connect allows for 2 speaker stereo or up to 100 speaker sync. All over home audio couldn’t be easier. The Music Center app also allows you to adjust settings, manage playback and more. The sound quality is excellent with clear highs, firm mids and punchy lows. Outdoors you’ll notice how the design helps push sound all around you. The sound projects and pushes to fill the entire space. I can’t wait to pick up another and see what these can do in stereo!

This SRS-XE300 from Sony is a shockingly subpar offering at an eye-popping price point. It does do some things well and has some great app integration and features and a tight user experience you’d expect from a premier brand. However, at the end of the day, a speaker has to do one thing well and that’s where it falls very short. I feel it best to just go ahead and come straight out with it; this speaker has very disappointing sound for the price. At this price point, you simply cannot have any shortcomings and this speaker has several. Out of the box, the sound profile is extremely flat and disappointing. Thankfully, you can make adjustments with Sony’s Music Center app giving you basic control over bass, mid, and treble or you can let Sony determine the optimal settings with their “ClearAudio+” setting. However, even after spending probably close to 1/2 hour playing different music genres and playing with different adjustments, including using ClearAudio+, performance just doesn’t improve much at all. It still doesn’t sound lively or punchy, bass is particularly disappointing as it just does not ever sound deep or thump. The speaker doesn’t get very loud at all, and no matter what settings or adjustments I’ve used, I’ve found it impossible to not have music sound hollow and lifeless - almost like music is trapped inside and somehow has managed to escape. Frankly, it just does not sound good. To be sure I wasn’t crazy, we took three speakers to a friends house for a pool party. One was a smaller (but similar) size but costs under a 1/3rd of the price, one was a similar price but roughly twice the size. I asked 5 other adults to all do a blind ranking of their performance and every single one of them placed the Sony speaker last. I have several portable Bluetooth speakers from several different price points and this one is the worst value no questions asked. Competing brands offer much better sound from a smaller package that has nearly all of the same features this speaker has. Where’s the value? And more importantly, where is the sound?! It’s not all bad: Sony offers everything you’d expect in a speaker like this; water and dust resistant, great battery life, app integration (that’s actually very good), and the ability to share your speaker with others or tether additional speakers together. It is extremely handsome and feels very well made. It definitely looks the part of a speaker at this price. Even though it’s on the larger end of portable speaker size, it’s still very easy to carry and throw in a bag or backpack for a party or the pool. But at the end of the day, none of that really matters because the sound is so disappointing.

Such a good speaker it last so long I take it to work and put at 7am and it lasts all the way to 7pm and still with charge the audio is nice and loud I love it best purchase I ever made I 100% recommend is nice and affordable and it fit everywhere !! And is waterproof

It is a very well made speaker! Durable, battery lasts a good time but it does not sound too good. Volume is not too loud either! I used it at the beach and while battery lasted, the volume at some point was not loud enough, I didn't want to start a party or anything, but with the waves, people around with other speakers and just the noise around us, I really think this speaker could be louder, also, it is on the bigger side, still very portable! But for the size, I was expecting more battery and volume (also quality). This are not game changers! It is an awesome speaker! I am just telling my experience.

This is probably the best portable Bluetooth speaker that I currently own. Sony did a lot of things right here. The reason to me this is a keeper, is the sturdy construction, and battery life. First things noticed upon unboxing is that this is a speaker that is going to last for years. You can tell it’s built to take a beating and keep on playing. Made sturdy with a strong strap attached for hanging, and carrying. The paperwork that came with it mentioned that it passed the drop test from 4’ high onto 2” thick plywood. This little guy also boasts an IP rating of IP67. This refers to the ingress protection of the speaker, which means the level of protection from solid particles entering the speaker housing, as well as water spray . The higher the IP #, the better protection offered. You can look up the specifics regarding the rating numbers and IP ratings online, it's easy to find. There’s a lot involved so I’ll spare you from me acting like an expert on ingress protection, but I will tell you is that I used to work for a company that purchased electric DC motors from China that went on commercial mobile equipment, and those motors had much lower IP ratings than this little speaker. In other words, well done Sony! I imagine it makes this a great option for people that work outside, like construction workers and such. None of this however, means you can just willie nillie throw it in the pool, or in a body of water and expect it to keep working. Enough about the structure and protection, let’s talk about battery life. Right out of the box it had 1 orange light lit when plugged in. I plugged it into an outlet and checked it every 10 minutes for the sake of reviewing. In approx. 1 hour and 20 minutes, it was fully charged. I’ve charged it a couple times since and it takes about 2 hours now to fully charge after taking it down to low. Not bad at all! Recently, I have been working from home for 1 week due to contracting covid. I listen to music on this speaker all day and after 6+ hours of constant use, when I pressed the button on the unit to check the battery life, it was still at 80%. The marketing for this speaker boasts a listening experience all day, and it was NOT kidding. The Bluetooth pairing was super-fast and effortless. Works with both iOS and Android. The phone answering function and call quality with people on the other line, was perfect quality and worked great. I used it for multiple phone calls throughout the day for work. The Bluetooth range is approx. 30m (98ft) range. Never disconnected from my phone once during the day, and I live in a tri-level. The sound is not the best, and not the worst for a Bluetooth speaker of this size that I’ve owned. I will say for sure that hanging it by the strap during playback, or laying it on its side horizontal orientation, with the buttons facing up, is the best sound quality I get. Standing it up straight works also, with the control buttons vertical, but it seriously lacks in dispersing the sound, and in sound quality in this orientation. All in all, great speaker that I expect will last for many years to come, even if my kids borrow it and take it on excursions with their friends! (lost many a good speaker that way lol)

The Sony XE 200 is a awesome speaker. I bought it for my trip to the Caribbean. I love the fact it has a string attached to the speaker it is very convenient. I had it hooked on a tree and was playing music at 80% while I was in the water. To my surprise I could hear from 350 feet away or more while I was at the beach taking a swim. Me and my family was there for several hours and I still had plenty of battery life left when we got back to our condo. The sound was solid, and well balanced, and at no point the speaker felt like was it was struggling. I would definitely recommend this product.

Lightweight, feels well built, may need a little adjusting with the sound on the app but I prefer it because it allows me to tune to speaker to my preference. Water resistant, great to keep in the shower. Amazing battery life. Another great Sony product!!!

Overall its a great speaker. The voices are clear, good bass, battery life is awesome.

This speaker has crystal clear sound with no distortion at the higher end, the only reason for the 4 Star rating is that the unit doesn't seem to reach higher volumes like other units, say like a JBL. Battery life is great, I've only charged it maybe 3 times in the span of a month with moderate use. There an optional app for the device that allows you to adjust the bass, treble and mids as well other options such as pairing with multiple speakers. All in all a solid unit even with the shortfall on the max volume.

This speaker is loud and has clear audio and good battery life and is water and dust resistant.

Sound is crisp, and bass is real good! Its pretty portable and water resistant. Also use it for outdoor sound using a projector and it works wonders.

Great product with excellent clarity and bass. Ease of use top notch. Could be louder.

A very good speaker. I don’t think it packed as much power as I would have liked in regards to volume as bass. Not a ton of low end, even though you can help that a tad bit with the app’s EQ. Sound is very clear and the battery seems to last as long as advertised. Not sure why this level of speaker has skyrocketed as far as price, but this seemed to be the best deal for the price point when I listened to a few at the store.

Ok like I am super old school. I remember taking my boom box everywhere I went. That was the thing to do. Nowadays everything is compact. And hidden. I love this speaker. First the color. And sound is amazing. Super easy hook up to the phone Bluetooth. Volume control on phone or speaker. I have taken this thing everywhere. Fits super comfortable anywhere. You can show it or hide it. Not too heavy. Charges fast. A very good product.
