Sleek Design but too warm sounding
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Dont get me wrong Sony did a amazing job on the design, but the audio it just sound muddy, so the audio isnt clear and i think that because of the hard shell on the outside is blocking the clearity, but if you like the warm sound like bose, this is the cheap way, but i would go with jbl flip 6 with a oval woofer and a tweeter for good instrument separation and vocal separation

Not feeling this, literally. Too subpar. Avoid it.
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.First, what good that is here, as this isn't like God awful. The size & weight is very similar & comparable to probably one of their biggest competitors the JBL Charge 5. Ok, this is slightly bigger, but it's comparable and find a friend or family member who has a JBL Charge 5. If you can live with that for portability, you can live with this. Also, while not going to praise the sound much, what it's doing here it's doing well. It's like listening to a singer or band who isn't great, but keeps from being terrible because they know & are aware of their range and what their capable of and while they stick to that, their fine. Same concept here. Ok, obviously this speaker didn't get 2 stars from being great. Let's dive into the bad. First, maybe I should've gotten a black version instead of a blue one, because I immediately see smudges from my fingerprints, but everyone (seemingly) gets a black or gray version, I wanted something slightly different. That's not really much of an issue. What is to me is there's no real defined spot to sit this on. Seriously feel like over a short space of time whatever side I decide to put it on will get more scuffed up than both other sides and in comparison with a speaker that has a defined spot to sit it on, like the JBL Charge 5, for comparison, has numerous rubber lines on the bottom that form a surprisingly durable base. Oh, and as I continue, I get that I'm comparing a lot to the JBL Charge 5 here and I'm NOT wanting to sound like this review is an endorsement for the JBL Charge 5, I'm just using it because it's a similar all around speaker by a competitive brand that's proven to be popular. Moving on, the lack of a defined spot to sit it on wasn't the only design element lacking here. The fabric, what limited amount there is here, is fine, however you can feel the plastic, uh whatever they used to keep it's shape how they want it, and it feels like it has limited durability. In the hands of someone who takes good care of their things it'll be fine, but for real, this isn't what you want say your 5 year old to be handling, accident waiting to happen if you're not cautious. Ok, so next is sound quality. Actually, the notion of their "Line-Shape Diffuser" works quite well, nearly exactly as you want and expect and even hope it will. As I said in the beginning, while sticking to what their goal is this does well. However I don't know about the majority, but I for one want to FEEL the bass in a speaker, especially a decent sized one. I get there's no little subs on this, but even holding it in your hand and cranking the music you're just not going to feel any bass. That was really what pushed this over the edge. A few fingerprints & smudges? I could learn to live with that. A few scuffs from whatever side I end up resting it on? I could learn to live with that too. Be careful as it's not too durable? I am typically cautious anyway so not a biggie. Pretty much zero bass in a good sized speaker? Yeah, that's the real reason it got returned. No I don't recommend this for anyone. The JBL Charge 5? I suppose, but not to sound like a singing endorsement for JBL I'll say that the Sony XG-300, which is often on sale for $200 (regular price of $300 so watch for sales, they really do happen) is a superb choice too. A bit bigger and heavier, but it has a handle so it's not as restricting and is more accommodating. Sony can and does have not just good, but truly great bluetooth speakers, available right now even, this here just isn't one of them. Oh, and on an ending note, not to be a complete hater of this I suppose if you got it as a gift or even if the price becomes a $100 or less I could justify this. Price isn't a big factor here, but it'd help.

https://www.sony.com/electronics/support/speakers-wireless-speakers/srs-xg300/software/00283954
The overall volume may vary depending on the source content. Turn up the volume of the speaker and the connected device. You also have the option to adjust the sound settings of the speaker to tailor-fit the sound quality to your needs. You may find this link helpful:
https://helpguide.sony.net/speaker/srs-xg300/v1/en/contents/TP1000669923.html
Make sure to charge the built-in battery sufficiently. The sound may become low in the following cases. This is not a malfunction.
-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.
-When the ambient temperature of the speaker is high.
Additionally, you can use the Party Connect function and Stereo Pair function to enjoy a more powerful sound. You may refer to these links for more information:

Disappointed
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So disappointed in this purchase. The sound had decent clarity but bass levels and overall loudness was far less than desired. I've paid $49 for Anker speakers that are louder and just as clear. Don't be deceived by the "LIVE LIFE LOUD" on side of box because it definitely is not loud.

Posted .Hi ScottA, we regret that the sound quality did not fully met your expectations. This is definitely not the experience we'd like you to have. We understand that everyone has a different expectation of what speakers should sound like. This is why we include the ability to fine-tune the sound to your liking in the Sony Music Center app.
Ref: https://helpguide.sony.net/speaker/srs-xe300/v1/en/contents/TP1000669365.html
We also recommend updating the software to Version 3100 or 4000. Updating the firmware improves connectivity and retention of the Sound settings.

Disappointing
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I had high hopes for this speaker. As a long time user of Sony headphones and one other of their bluetooth speakers I though it would be a solid upgrade to my already years old alternatives. After using the XE300, however, I'm flabbergasted. It doesn't sound much better than other no name brand speakers you could pick up for half the price. I was hoping this XE300 would finally unseat my old JBL Charge 4 as my goto bluetooth speaker. The Charge 4 has served me well over the years. It's taken it's share of abuse and yet it still sounds better. I don't understand it. Sony touts the bass of the XE300. I find it middling at best. They say that the new design provides room filling sound. I disagree and believe my older speakers do a much better job. In order to get the XE300 to sound anywhere close to my old speaker (which was simply paired and used) I had to go into eq settings and fiddle around. Even then the results weren't great. Depending on the type of music played, I'd have to go back and fiddle some more. Sony, you make some of the best headphones I've ever owned. Why do your bluetooth speakers always seem to fall short?

Not for everyone.
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.If you love music and want a speaker to fill the room--this isn't it. I love sony headphones and thought this would be a great investment based on the other reviews. It was terrible. The speaker design does not allow the music to be heard clearly away from the speaker. I know I'm an outlier, but if you love music and being surrounded by clear, crisp sounds--this is not the one. I returned it promptly.
