Sony speaker review
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The speaker sounded good in a quiet room but not loud enough when there's other noise around

Posted .Hi CalandraC, Thank you for your feedback. We're glad that you like the sound quality in a quiet room. This speaker is suitable for both indoor and outdoor use, especially when considering the speaker’s design with an IP67 rating. Meaning it is indeed built to withstand exposure to natural elements such as dust and water.
However, we understand your concern about sound performance when there's other noise around. It's important to note that the sound performance can vary depending on the specific outdoor environment, including factors such as wind, background noise, and open spaces, which may affect the perceived loudness.
In some cases, you might find that the speaker's sound may not be as loud as desired for outdoor use, especially in noisy or wide-open areas. For optimal sound quality and performance, we recommend using the speaker primarily for indoor purposes, where environmental factors are more likely controlled, and you can fully enjoy its audio capabilities.
The XE200 speaker sends sound out from a small, compact unit. You can spread sound wider with the Line-Shape Diffuser and enjoy powerful sound pressure and clarity with the X-Balanced Speaker, all housed inside a portable speaker with a handy strap. Thank you for choosing Sony! -Erin

Just.... OK
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Ended up returning the speaker. Sound quality is warm, sounds decent at low levels. Mega bass is basically non existant. At highest volume the speaker gradually lowers by itself for battery saving purposes and there's no way to turn this setting/feature off. Honestly for the price, it's just ok

Posted .Hi joy4rk, Excellent! We're glad you like the vocal clarity, and surround sound quality of your Sony SRSXE200. To ensure optimal listening experience, install the Sony Music Center app to adjust the equalizer and set the BLUETOOTH connection quality to "Priority on Sound Quality". The “Priority on Sound Quality” preference provides compatibility not only with SBC but also with AAC and LDAC* for music playback of high sound quality. Hope this helps!

Posted .Hello Esty711,
Thank you for sharing your feedback regarding your Sony SRSXE300 Portable Speaker. While we're glad you appreciate the sound quality, we're sorry to hear you find the speaker doesn't get very loud as you would like. We want to make sure you are getting the most out of your speaker. Depending on the connected BLUETOOTH device, volume adjustment on the BLUETOOTH device may not change the volume level of the speaker (i.e. the (power) indicator does not flash). When the volume of the speaker sounds low, adjust the volume level of the BLUETOOTH device to an appropriate one, and then adjust the volume level of the speaker with the +/- (volume) buttons on the speaker.
If the Sound becomes low while in use, refer to these helpful links:

By downloading the Sony Music Center app, you will find all sorts of tools to fine-tune the speaker using the built-in EQ and maximize the volume to ensure optimal listening experience. To get the most out of the volume, turn up the volume of the speaker and the connected device. You may also find different devices will perform better than others, as will different apps due to different types of audio compression and transmission.

A Good Bluetooth Speaker
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a good all around speaker for bluetooth use with my TV audio. I wish I could adjust the mid-range, treble, and bass. It could be just a lack of knowing how at this point.

Disappointed
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I'm pretty disappointed with this product. I researched a lot when I was looking to buy a portable, waterproof/dustproof speaker with the ability to connect other speakers - or as Sony calls it, Party Connect. I bought two of these at the end of June for our July 4th party - fully charged both speakers up and set one up on one side of my yard and put the other speaker on the other end (my property is barely 0.4 acres) - they would not stay connected unless they were close to each other, and not only that, my husband had to leave his phone next to the speaker all day so that the music would play which was pretty inconvenient and even still, occasionally the sound would come out fuzzy and tinny at times, and one of us would have to walk over and reconnect both speakers. When the speakers are working as expected, the sound is great... but I'm not happy that I paid almost $600 for two speakers and am already having issues - I expected more out of Sony.
