    Excellent speaker. When used with the Sony music center app, its even better. It has great battery life when playing it, as one can cancel the bass and lights if you want to.

    Does it’s job quite well. Wanted to hook it up to our projector but found out after the face that we can’t. But oh man, das bass. We just use it for our laptop now to have music while we clean and do woodworking. Good bang for the buck.

    Compared to JBL speakers of similar pricing it does not get loud enough. Still a great speaker if volume is not a priority.

      Hi JefferyS,

      Thank you for the review! We're glad to hear that you like the speaker. For your information, the sound quality of the speaker will depend in the source, battery and environment that you're playing. The sound may become low when the battery is low. If the sound becomes low while in use, turn off the speaker. Charge the built-in battery sufficiently. Thank you for choosing Sony!

      Hi Johnnygee,

      Thanks for sharing your review and experience with the XG300. We're glad that you like the bass quality of the speaker. Your feedback about its overall volume is greatly appreciated.

      For optimum performance, make sure that the software version of the speaker is up-to-date. Please refer to this link for more information:

      https://www.sony.com/electronics/support/speakers-wireless-speakers/srs-xg300/software/00283954

      The overall volume may vary depending on the source content. Turn up the volume of the speaker and the connected device. You also have the option to adjust the sound settings of the speaker to tailor-fit the sound quality to your needs. You may find this link helpful:

      https://helpguide.sony.net/speaker/srs-xg300/v1/en/contents/TP1000669923.html

      Make sure to charge the built-in battery sufficiently. The sound may become low in the following cases. This is not a malfunction.

      -While the speaker is running on power from the rechargeable built-in battery, the sound may become low in the event that the rechargeable built-in battery is running out of power and the CHARGE indicator flashes slowly. This, however, does not indicate a malfunction.

      -When the ambient temperature of the speaker is high.

      Additionally, you can use the Party Connect function and Stereo Pair function to enjoy a more powerful sound. You may refer to these links for more information:
