Solid, full bodied sound in a small package!
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sony have become my go-to for portable bluetooth speakers. They always seem to be able pack such a huge punch from such a small form factor. And the SRS-XE200 is no exception. The speaker actually, doesn't look like a conventional speaker when you open it up. The typical 'speaker mesh' is almost non existent, save for a 1" wide strip down one side (depending on the orientation of the speaker) and a small ring top and bottom. This is due to the 'Line Shape Diffuser', which has been inspired by professional concert audio systems. What this does is allows the sound to be diffused evenly across a wide area without compromising sound quality. In reality, depending where you are, you hear the soundscape somewhat substantially differently. If you are directly in front of the speaker, the sound is almost hypnotic, it's so immersive. I had the speaker on my chest as I lay down testing it, listening to Within Temptation and I was covered in wave after wave of sound, feeling as if I was almost inside the speaker. Then when placing the speaker on an entertainment unit and walking around the room, you had a different feel - the sound was nice and deep, full bodied as the music went though heavy guitars, piano and very distinct female vocals. The sound almost followed you around the room as you walked. Very incredible that the 1" wide speaker opening allows this dynamic sound scape. The XE200 is the perfect outdoor companion, whether in the mountains, in the desert or by the pool. It's IP67 water/dust/shock rating means that it's suitable for almost anything you throw at it (or potentially throw it at!). As long as you have the back USB-C charging port covered (Sony makes this abundantly clear in the documentation) the speaker is rated to be able to withstand being at a depth of 1 meter for 30 minutes, and still continue to work! So the inevitability of it being dropped poolside, and falling in the water shouldn't be an issue for this speaker. It's not just 'splash resistant' so you have that piece of mind. Conversely, dropping onto a hard surface shouldn't affect the speaker either, with it's shockproof casing and extensive shock testing. And finally, dust, the IP67*2 rating means that it was subjected to being stirred in dust particles for 8 hours with no ingress of debris. Pretty impressive! TL;DR - You can drop it, get it wet, and dusty, and it will be fine! If you download the Sony Music Center app, you have more control over the speaker - although not as much control as previous speakers - which is why I've docked a star. You are able to adjust the equalizer for the speaker but that is about it. There have been more app available speaker settings on other Sony portable speakers that I've had that really enhance that 'wow' factor. Aside from the equalizer there isn't a separate 'bass' control'. And in previous incarnations, there have been predetermined Sony settings that enhance the sound depending on what you're listening to. That seems something that could be quickly and easily enhanced with a simple software upgrade. Speaking of the bass, this small speaker packs a great thumping bass due to it's X-Balanced technology which uses a non circular diaphragm which releases more sound pressure compared to a circular diaphragm. Coupled with dual passive radiators, significantly increases its bass response. You are able to use the speaker comfortably for a whole day on a single charge, Sony really do have battery life down when it comes to portable speakers, very impressive indeed. Using the USB-C charging cord that's included, you get a full 24 hours of playtime from a single charge. And you can gain an additional 70 minutes of play time from just a quick 10 minute charge. It also has a battery care feature that will stop charging right before 100% capacity to help save the overall battery life. Using the Party Connect feature, you can link two (or more) of these together, to create a Stereo sound field. And with a clear microphone with echo cancelling technology, you can use it paired to a computer for meetings and have clear and accurate conversations. This speaker will become our default choice when heading out to the cabin, without fear of it getting damaged by the elements, being dropped or getting dusty. It is nice and rugged to put in the back of the Bronco and go! I've been very impressed with the speaker so far, if some additional sound options were made available in the Music Center App, and possibly a tweak to the max volume level, then this would be almost the perfect 'getaway' speaker for out in the wilderness. Long battery life with great IP67 protection, it's light, with a carry strap as well, perfect for on the go!

Posted .Hi Navi, Fantastic! We're delighted to hear you're having a great time so far with your new Sony SRSXE200 speaker. We also appreciate your feedback about the size of the unit.

Posted .Hi Carlos, You've made an excellent choice! We are truly happy to hear your purchase went well and you are very pleased with its exceptional audio quality and overall features. Know that we take all feedback seriously and will pass your suggestions along to the proper team for future enhancement. The XE300 is designed more around portability rather than trying to get sound all around the speaker uniformly. Both of the XE300s speakers are facing the same direction so you can get true Left/Right separation like the artist intended. And with the Line-Shape Diffuser, the sound spreads further to the front area of the speaker allowing you to enjoy the same sound quality whether you are at the front or to the side of the speaker. This means that everyone in your venue can dance to the same music feeling the same sound quality. Thank you so much for choosing Sony! -Jess

design flaw
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is more of a design flaw I see. When I plug the dc power in the back to charge the speaker the plastic cover wants to close so it presses up on the plug bending it up. I can see over time the input being bent and breaking over some time.
