      Hi Truthurts, We're sorry to hear that you're having an issue with your speaker. This is definitely not the experience we'd like you to have. Allow us to help and turn this into a better experience.

      We do have some troubleshooting steps to help fix the issue.

    4 is an excellent rating for me. Nothing is perfect, particularly at this price. I have had a number of small bluetooth speakers from all brands, more expensive and cheap. For the size and anything near the price, these are absolutely the best I have had soundwise. The sale price made it a steal. It is a little bass heavy and a little missing in midrange but most like that and it is actually impressive in it's size to have that covered so well. Bought it as a gift. Recipient was very happy and as impressed as me. Only wish it had an extra input plug for use without Bluetooth (only reason I gave it a 4) but I am assuming in this price range they had to keep the costs focused on sound quality which I am ok with. It is also very attractive and not cheap looking as well. Just bought so can't attest to how durable but if it holds up well it will be a great purchase.

      Hi Luis,

      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 sound quality and volume level. We want to make sure you are getting the most out of your speaker. By downloading 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.

    Great Everyday Speaker

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    This speaker has almost everything I wanted in a Bluetooth speaker. By almost everything I mean the Bluetooth connects seamlessly, the sound is very good quality, the design is very sleek, the battery life is long, and the technology in the speaker is outstanding. In addition, the size and weight are just right and the multi directional sound lets you fill the room evenly with sound for everyone (versus it being loud to the person in front of the speaker and quiet for everyone else). I also really like the USB-C charger, which aligns with so many other devices. The two things that the speaker was missing was an auxiliary input and solid bass. We still use some older technology ipod type devices and it would be nice to be able to plug into the speaker directly. Regarding the bass, I realize this is the lower end speaker so it is not a disappointment but thought I would point it out in this review so that someone needing more bass can upgrade to the next level speaker (there are three levels of this speaker). And finally, a bit more focus on the sound quality. The sound has plenty of volume (we rarely go above 50%) and the highs are crisp and clear. We listen to a lot of hip hop and while there is some bass, we wish it was a little stronger. Overall, this is a great everyday speaker that is easy to carry around and use wherever you may be.

    I've been using this now in my workshop for a few weeks and love it! We've listened to every type of music there is, podcasts, etc. and its performed flawlessly. Battery charge has been great, like really great! I only charged it the after I took it out of the box and its still going strong! It has really good bass and the sound really carries well with this speaker. I like the rubberized tough exterior, and its already been through a few small rain storms, nothing major, but a more than a sprinkle and its all good! The fact that I can use it vertically or horizontally has actually been pretty useful for me lately, we'll stand it up vertically and set it in the tight corners and the sound is great plenty loud. I tried to use my existing Sony app I use for my Sony headphones, but that didn't work. I had to download ANOTHER Sony app in order to use the advanced app functions.... not a deal killer, but I really don't need another app on my phone. Oh well, I did it and its not a big deal. I have to say this has become my go-to speaker, but also my kids favorite... when they're outside this is the speaker they use! Shooting basketball, swimming, etc... I'm really not worried about them hurting this since its rated as waterproof and feels pretty rugged. I would definitely recommend!

      Hi veronica,

      Thanks for sharing your review and experience with the XG300 speaker. It's unfortunate that you are not completely satisfied with the speaker. For optimum performance, make sure that the software version of the speaker is up-to-date. Please refer to this link for more information:

      You may also find these steps helpful:

      -Turn up the volume of the speaker and the connected device.
      -While the speaker is running on power from the rechargeable built-in battery, the sound may become low in the event that the rechargeable built-in battery is running out of power and the CHARGE indicator flashes slowly. This, however, does not indicate a malfunction.
      -Make sure to charge the built-in battery sufficiently.

      You also have the option to adjust the sound settings of the speaker to tailor-fit the sound quality to your needs. For more information, please refer to this link:

      Hi DewayneT,

      Thank you for your purchase of the XE300. When it comes to audio quality, this function can be adjusted on the Sony Music Center app. Additionally, 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. You can also check the app that you are using (for audio) or your source device for sound settings and adjustment.

      The “Priority on Sound Quality” and “Priority on Stable Connection” preferences are available on the speaker for the BLUETOOTH connection 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, whereas the “Priority on Stable Connection” preference enables music playback via more stable BLUETOOTH connections.

      Hi Djesusislive,

      We are sorry to learn you're having Bluetooth pairing issues with the speaker. The SRS-XE200 requires the A2DP Bluetooth profile for Bluetooth playback. If you're unable to pair the speaker with a BLUETOOTH device, please follow the steps below to help troubleshoot this issue.

      • Place the speaker and the BLUETOOTH device within 1 m (3.2 ft) of each other.
      • If the (BLUETOOTH) indicator is not double flashing in blue, press the(BLUETOOTH) button. You hear voice guidance (BLUETOOTH pairing) and the(BLUETOOTH) indicator starts double flashing (pairing mode).
      • If the speaker is not displayed on the BLUETOOTH device, turn off the BLUETOOTH function on the device, and then turn on the BLUETOOTH function again. It may improve symptoms.
      • If the issue is still not resolved, change the sound quality mode from Priority on Sound Quality to Priority on Stable Connection. To change the setting, use the Sony | Music Center app to select Settings → Sound → Bluetooth Connection Quality → Priority on Stable Connection.

      A firmware update to improve connectivity and retention of the Sound settings for your SRS-XE200 is now available on our website. If the sound is too low or the bass sound can't be heard, you may also find this link helpful: https://www.sony.com/electronics/support/speakers-wireless-speakers/srs-xe200/articles/00278737

      Despite your concerns, we're glad you like most of the features of this 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. Thank you for sharing your feedback and for choosing Sony! -Jess Sony_US
