    Not a horrible speaker, wish the audio was a little bit more crisp, and battery is pretty bad, it seems like it needs charged pretty often. Yet it still succeeds what what it needs to, so its a fairly avarage speaker.

      Hi JonathanS, Thank you for your feedback on the SRS-XE300. We're sorry to hear that the audio quality and battery life did not meet your expectations. The SRS-XE300 is designed to deliver clear and powerful sound, and we want to ensure you get the best experience possible.

      To enhance the audio crispness, we recommend using the Sony Music Center app, which allows you to fine-tune the sound settings, including the equalizer (EQ) options. This can help you achieve the desired audio quality.

      Regarding the battery life, it's important to fully charge the speaker, especially after it has gone below 20 or 10%, as this can impact performance. Additionally, turning on the STAMINA function and lowering the volume can help protect the battery and extend its life.

      Should you need further assistance, please email us at socialsupport@am.sony.com with the following details:

      Hi ErrolA, Thank you for the feedback on your experience with your SRSXE300. While we're glad you like the excellent battery life, we regret to hear about the volume level did not meet your expectations. To ensure optimal listening experience, please follow the steps on this link:

      https://helpguide.sony.net/speaker/srs-xe300/v1/en/contents/TP1000611676.html

      Please note: The sound may become low in the following cases. This is not a malfunction.
      When the built-in battery is running low and the CHARGE indicator flashes slowly, while the speaker is being powered by the built-in battery only.

      When the rechargeable built-in battery is running low as a result of long-time use of the speaker at a loud volume even though the speaker was connected to an AC outlet by a USB AC adaptor (commercially available) or to a computer that comes equipped with a USB charging port.

      When the ambient temperature of the speaker is high.

      If the sound becomes low while in use, follow the procedure below.
      -Turn off the speaker.
      -Charge the built-in battery sufficiently.

      We also have noted your input about the lack of auxiliary input and will be sure to forward this feedback to the appropriate department.

    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.

      Hi HunterB,

      Thank you for the review! We're glad to hear that you like the loud volume of the headphones. We do apologize for the inconvenience. When the speaker is in low volume, the speaker needs to be charge. If the CHARGE indicator starts flashing slowly, turn off the speaker and charge the built-in battery sufficiently.
