Nice, but wouldn’t spend extra money
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sound quality was nice but should have been better. It was also a bit heavy to carry around at the beach. Also, the so-called speaker function/mic wouldn’t stay connected and had poor mic/sound quality

Posted .Hi Posty, we're glad that you like the sound quality of your speaker. We're also sorry if your having an issue with the mic. In the meantime, please try restarting the speaker.

“Poor sound quality”
||Posted . Owned for 10 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was dissatisfied with this speaker. In my opinion, they should make the necessary adjustments, starting with the sound quality. The sound is not loud enough and appears to be static. It's not worth the high price for the low quality it offers. Sony fell short of my expectations.

Versatile and Great Sound
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a very nice Bluetooth speaker in terms of solid construction and the ease of Bluetooth pairing with your cell phone, TV or PC. It has all the best features for dustproof, waterproof and shockproof design. Bass reproduction is very strong although the overall volume capability was lower on my non-Sony brand TV. However from the PC or cell phone - the volume was louder. Also on my Sony brand TV the volume could be set very loud. On the non-Sony brand TV there was also a pop-up from the TV every time I turned the system on to ask if I wanted the Bluetooth speaker. On the Sony TV on every power on the Bluetooth Sony speaker just connected automatically. This could be important to know if you are interested in using this speaker for enhanced TV audio. On the very positive side, any TV I used had far better sound using this small Bluetooth speaker than the internal speakers. This I believe is at least partly due to Sony's ‘Line-Shape Diffuser’ technology that distributes the sound energy evenly – I have to say this did work nicely. I did find that if needed, the claim of 70 minutes playback with only 10 minutes charge time was indeed true. Be aware that even though the Bluetooth blue LED is blinking, the speaker does not attempt to pair unless you tap the Bluetooth button on the speaker. Of course a fantastic option is connecting this Bluetooth speaker to your cell phone. Download the Sony Music Center app and you will have added facilities for shaping the sound. You can also enable the microphone on this device and use it with Alexa or Google to ask the time or other commands. Great product and I highly recommend it.

Posted .Hi RalphHenry, Thank you for the fantastic and thorough review of your new Sony SRS-XE200! We're glad you like the solid construction, easy Bluetooth pairing, IP67 rating, powerful bass, quick charging, easy to use Sony Music Center app, and excellent sound quality of your new Bluetooth speaker.
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. The XE200 will give you 16-hours of play when the battery is fully charged, that means that a single charge should be long enough to power through any party. Thanks for choosing Sony! -Sam
