A Bit Disappointing
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I’m a huge Sony fan. I own and love all their products. From the Playstation, Bravia TV, Wireless Headphones XM4, and Wireless Free Earbuds XM4. I’ve never had a portable speaker from them, but I imagined it would of sounded great based off my experience with their headphones and earbuds. However, my expectations were far greater than what Sony delivered. First, I’m not a fan of the design at all. Not because of how it looks, i think it looks very sleek and cool, but the lack of 360 audio doesn’t work for me. If the speaker isn’t facing towards you, then it sounds muffled, or like you have it in the bathroom with the door closed and you’re listening to it from the outside. Even when you do have it facing towards you, the sound is pretty lackluster still. It sounds tinny and hollow. I don’t know if it’s because of the pentagon shape it is vs the traditional round cylinder shape you usually get from a speaker. It sounds like the music is bouncing off the hollow walls inside the speaker, rather than from the actual tweeters and drivers. The base is decent, but the mids and highs sound tinny and hollow. Adjusting the EQ helped a little, but even then when i compare it to my old UE Mini Boom speaker it’s still not as good to where i want it to be. The Volume is nothing to brag about either. I honestly couldn’t recommend this to anyone, when there are much better speakers on the market. As a huge Sony fan, I hope they come back with a better line of speakers.

Posted .Hi amosvane,
Thanks for commenting. While we are thrilled to hear that you love our products, we are really sorry if our SRS-XE300 didn't live up to your expectations. We greatly appreciate your feedback with its design and sound quality. The XE300 is specifically designed for audio clarity throughout its volume range. This is something our music-loving customers appreciate most. That being said the XE300 also gets very loud for its size and audio precision. To ensure that you're having the best listening experience, we recommend performing the steps on this Help Guide link:

You may also find different devices will perform better than others, as will different apps due to different types of audio compression and transmission.
I hope this helps.

Durable
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great mid-tones within 1 meter. Clarity is optimal. This is good for travel; the weight makes it easy to carry it around. Although there is noticeable latency when connecting to a computer. It's fairly durable as well.

Good Sound But Could Be Better
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Good sound and plenty loud for a unit so small. Some music sounds better than others on this unit. Sometimes the high frequencies seem missing and the middle frequencies seem a bitt muddy, while the bass can sometimes seem heavy, especially at higher volumes. It would have helped if there were equalizer (bass and treble) controls, which this unit does not have.

Excellent speaker with excellent sound
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It's a sleek speaker that looks great on a shelf without obnoxious glowing LED lights. Which I loved because I used it to play nature sounds for sleeping. It broadcasts the sound nicely, filling a room. I can use all night long around 6 to 9 hours and it takes a few days before I need to charge it. There was also zero issue connecting my phone to it and the app connected immediately and there was no issues there either. It updated quick. There's nothing about this speaker that I dislike.

Posted .Hi ChueV,
Thanks for sharing your review and experience with the XE300. We're glad that you like the sound quality of the speaker. Your feedback about its volume is greatly appreciated.
The overall volume may vary depending on the source content. For optimum performance, make sure to charge the built-in battery sufficiently. 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.
-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:
