    Very disappointed with the speakers-as I had two speakers (same Brandon model and year, bought the same day. I was sold on them because they were supposed to pair very easily, and could play as a stereo unit however, the pairing and connecting them to Bluetooth was always a challenge, and instead of getting easier and more difficult and after about a month almost didn’t work at all losing Reception from iPhone, 3 feet or less, and sometimes walking in between the speakers in the room seem to make them go out, which seems hard to believe they went out so much the last few days they were not working or not playing as much as they were playing often in the beginning after 10 minutes to pair them each time the sound quality was excellent but everything else is just not worth it, not for $150. There’s just too many options once you’re at that price point, if they work just got a piece it wasn’t worth it in the end because they were completely defective although they worked fine once paired for three or four weeks, but going off and then going on every five seconds is jet better to sit in silent.

    You want your Bluetooth speaker to be truly portable, durable, and hassle-free. Sony's SRS-XE300 speaker is a great solution with tons of great features offered to keep your party going, wherever you want to go. The SRS-XE300 is a mammoth device, measuring out at just under 10" tall and pretty hefty in weight. It has a unique, five-sided shape that is promoted to provide extra power and a more balanced clarity of sound. Most of the speaker is covered in a grippable rubber coating with a line shape diffuser that allows audio to be distributed evenly around a room and conserves sound quality. I did find myself accidentally pressing the buttons on occasion when picking up the speaker and moving it around, as the buttons are all prominently lined up on one side. It is water, dust, and shock proof to an extent, able to withstand everyday bumps - you can feel safe bringing this baby to a beach or poolside. Connecting via Bluetooth is quick and easy, and the Sony Music Connect app allows for hassle-free control and access to your mobile device's music and audio apps all in one location. And the battery life is pretty solid, with 24 hours of playtime after a full charge and a quick 70-minute play usage with a 10-minute charge. A nice feature is its battery care protection, which extends battery life span by stopping charges short of 100%. Sound and audio from this device is unsurprisingly crisp and full. It has a noticeable richness in bass tones and provides clear, distortion-free sound in all directions. I was a little underwhelmed by the actual max volume, however, as I had expected bigger sound from such a big device. With the SRS-XE300, you are trading loudness for clarity, which seems fair. Despite just a few shortcomings, the SRS-XE300 portable speaker is an impressive option. Its weighted, large size will withstand everyday usage, and it has the juice to last all day. It is easy to setup and pair, and its sound is rich and clear from all angles. Sony has another great speaker for you to get your hands on.
