Underwhelming
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The sound is pretty clear and the ability to connect to other sony speakers is great. However, the app to adjust the sound was lacking and the bass was not deep at all. If you're looking for a deep, punchy bass this will not fill that need. If all you care about is a clean sound over-all this will work for that.

Posted .Hi Dell,
Thank you for taking the time to review your SRS-XE300 speaker. We're sorry to hear it hasn't performed to your standards when it comes to the bass sound. We want to make sure you are getting the most out of your speaker.
When you download the Sony Music Center App, there is a built-in EQ that has 20 points of control for Bass, Midrange, and Treble to tailor-fit the sound quality to your needs and ensure optimal performance with the speaker. You may also find different devices will perform better than others, as will different apps due to different types of audio compression and transmission.
If the sound is too low or the bass sound can't be heard, check if the Ambient Noise Sensing function is activated. Please note that when the Ambient Noise Sensing function is activated, the speaker detects environmental noises during the music playback. This function will help reduce power consumption and preserve the battery by cutting out bass sounds that will become hard to hear because of the ambient noise.

-When the ambient temperature of the speaker is high.

Thanks for considering Sony!

Posted .Hi Sean,
We appreciate your feedback and we are sorry that you are having issues with your Sony Bluetooth speaker. If the Ambient Noise Sensing function is turned on, you can turn it off using the “Sony | Music Center” app. This feature cuts out the bass sound that is disturbed by the ambient noise to reduce power consumption by the speaker and preserve the battery power. The battery life of your speaker will depend on the settings, type of music you are playing and the unit's surrounding temperature.

Attractive, portable, durable
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have wireless earbuds I love when I am on the go outside. To avoid damaging my hearing indoors, I decided to get a speaker I could carry around with me from room to room as I get ready in the morning, cook, clean, etc. I also wanted the bring the speaker outside when I sit on the porch, do yardwork, or clean the garage. I do presentations for work, and I like to bring a portable speaker since my laptop can’t project sound too far. The XB200 has checked all these boxes. Advantages: • Super-fast pairing to my Android phone with Bluetooth. • Up to 16 hours of playing time. A quick charge of 10 min gives you another 70 mins of music. • Great for the outdoors. You don’t have to worry about the weather as it is IP67 water resistant and dustproof. The shockproof design is great if it gets dropped or is knocked over. • The line-shaped diffuser allows for a wider listening area. • Powerful bass (dual passive radiators) and crisp sound. • The strap is great for portability (when carry other items) or to hang from a hook to keep it out of the way and project. I adjust it and slide it over my shoulder like a purse to keep it out of my way and so it doesn’t bang into anything else. • It is ergonomically shaped, so it’s easier to grab and hold. I really like that the design is vertical. • With the Sony music app, you can connect to others with the party app. The app has some cool effects. • Microphone has echo cancelling and MIC mute button. I was in the kitchen making dinner and talking on the phone through the speaker. It was nice I could mute my mic when I used a loud appliance. Drawbacks: • Does not come with an AC adaptor (sold separately). Just USB-A connection. Can’t charge from my laptop which only has USB-C plugs. • No stereo mini jack in. I would have like to connect with other devices. • Does not automatically turn off if not being used. That is a big minus in my book. • To connect with the party app, the speakers must be compatible X-series speakers. I happen to have the XB31 and XB90. They were not on the list, but I am hoping they connect. For the ways I plan to use the speaker, this size is fine as is the price. The XE200 works well for my needs. If you want a bigger sound to fill a bigger space with a lot more people, I’d suggest getting a bigger speaker, such as the XE300 or XG300.

A large but Very Nice Portable Speaker System
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Sony XG300is a very nice portable speaker system. This system is capable of battery powered use for and estimated life of up to 25 hours. The system is designed to be run via Bluetooth but does include a 3.5mm audio in port. Additional ports include a USB C-based Charging port, a USB-A type port that is for charging other devices. These ports are housed behind a door on the unit’s “rear” side that also includes a battery care button that is intended to prevent the battery from being full charged to extend its lifetime, and a light port to control of the lights on the ends of the device are used. When closed, the door helps to provide the unit with its IP67 Waterproof and Dustproof capabilities. Additional controls on the front of the unit include the power button, the Bluetooth pairing button, a mega bass setting button, the play/pause/answer button, and the volume controls in the form of a – button and a + button. Physically the system weighs approximately 6.61 lbs. (3 kg) and measures 25.5” x 5.4 “ x 5.35” (318mm x 138mm x 136 mm). The unit is mostly cylindrical in shape and has a carrying handle on the top and feet on the bottom to prevent it from rolling. General Features: The features of this speaker system are excellent. This system consists of two tweeters and two woofers in a L/R stereo configuration. The system does provide very loud sound when the volume is turned up and at about 60% of full volume it starts to get a bit too loud – which means that the system can produce sounds for quite a good distance allowing it to be used as a main speaker at an outdoor party. Audio Features: The system’s modes of operation are primarily Bluetooth (version 5.2 in the 2.4 GHz band), and audio in. In each of the modes the sound is of excellent quality and volume. The unit does have LED light rings on the ends that can be used to add lights to the music. The lighting settings can be controlled from the Sony Music Center application that is compatible with the speaker unit. The fact that this device has a speaker phone feature was a bit of a surprise. The microphone can pick up a person speaking from at least 15’. The speakerphone function also has Echo cancelling technology that allows for multiple people to talk at the same time without on getting cut off. The Multipoint connections functionality allows for two devices to be paired at the same time. App Features: The system can connect to and be controlled from Android and iPhone devices using the Sony Music Center application and/or the Sony Fiestable application – which is oriented at the Karaoke/dance party possibilities with the system. With the Sony Music Center application one can control each of the audio modes, stream music from your phone, and control the speaker at distance. Usage Impressions: The system is a very nice speaker system. I tested with many tracks that are suggested for audio system testing and the system sounded well throughout. My wife did comment that the default Mega Bass on setting changed the voice of the singer on one of her songs that I played for her. With this setting off the singer sounded better. The Bluetooth nature of the system makes is very flexible. While much of my testing was done via my cell phone; a Bluetooth enabled projector would pair very nicely with this system and between the projector and the speaker system one could have a nice tailgating setup or an entertainment system whole camping or RVing. Pros: Sound, battery life, pass through charging, App control Neutral: Portability – it is a bit hefty for a portable speaker and its larger than most Cons: Price
