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.

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.

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.

Overpriced and treble muffled
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The speaker design is great! Compact, love the folding handle, and the volume/power is great! Now the negative, the treble is muffled out of the box, also the bass is not that deep! Not worth $350, maybe $229..even using the app to adjust the treble, its not crispy, its has too much midrange in the treble, my soundcore motion boom plus blows this out of the water! Especially for $199! I got it for $140..Sony drops the ball again..(maybe its the fabric covering the speaker)…anyways its going back…

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.
