Good speaker

Posted .Hi AmberD,
While we're glad that you like most of the features, we're so sorry if you find the speaker doesn't get very loud. We want to make sure you are getting the most out of your speaker. To get the most out of the volume, turn up the volume of the speaker and the connected device. You may also find different devices will perform better than others, as will different apps due to different types of audio compression and transmission.
• 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.
• If the sound becomes low while in use, follow the procedure below.
1. Turn off the speaker.
2. Charge the built-in battery sufficiently.
For additional troubleshooting, refer to this help guide link: https://helpguide.sony.net/speaker/srs-xg300/v1/en/contents/TP1000669900.html

Sony quality sound that's highly portable
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I am so impressed with how Sony continues to reduce the size and weight of these portable speakers while continuing to improve the sound. At 1 lb and 9" long, the SRSXE200 X-Series is another well made portable speaker that is light enough to go anywhere, but loud enough to be used poolside. With the IP67 design, and charging port cover, I haven't had any issues with water or dirt impacting performance when taking this speaker camping, kayaking, or to the pool. In the box is the speaker with carry strap, USB-C charging cable, and manual. Setup is seamless, I pressed the bluetooth button, and within seconds a connection prompt appeared on my Android phone. Select connect and you're done. I did charge it fully out of the box, and have used it for 8 hours straight, and for a total of ~15 hours prior to the next charge. To get even more functionality, you will also want to install the Sony Music Center app. This allows for customized audio settings and controls the Party Connect functionality. The sound quality, especially for the size, is fantastic, and will fill a room with quality sound that has depth and tone at all ranges. The bass isn't overpowering and the treble isn't tinny due to the combination of Sony's Line-Shape Diffuser build and X-Balanced technologies. Other features to note are Echo Cancelling technology to allow multiple parties to speak using the speaker for calling. This supports clear sound from both people talking, and doesn't cut anyone off. I found the built in mic to be a bit limited on the distance it will pick up my voice, but this isn't my primary use for the speaker, and I consider this limitation to be minor. Another unique feature is the "Party Connect" option. From the app, this function allows for up to 100 Sony compatible speakers to be linked for large rooms, outdoor venues, and parties. Lastly, from the app, there is a Stereo Pair function that allows pairing of two speakers for stereo sound that provides portable sound for an immersive sound experience, or even movies. Overall the SRSEX200 gets a strong recommendation from my active family. To date, I have taken this speaker hiking, camping, sports events, to the lake and the pool, it has been dropped multiple times, accidentally kicked, and caught in a rain storm. No matter what happens, the speaker still performs well, can keep up with my activity level, and the sound cannot be beat from such a portable speaker!

Posted .Hi EngineerMom, Thank you for your awesome review! We are so glad to hear that you are happy with your new SRSXE200. Unlike the circular diaphragm in a conventional speaker unit, the newly developed X-Balanced Speaker Unit in the XE200 features a non-circular diaphragm that realizes more sound pressure for a high-quality sound. Thank you for choosing Sony! -Carl
Decent Device
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Decent device for listening at the park with just a few friends or people. Not the best range of sound but it's pretty good. There is no handle and it can be a little difficult to carry sometimes.

Posted .Hi CurtisM,
Thanks for commenting! We are thrilled to know your satisfaction with the superb sound quality of the SRS-XE300. We truly appreciate your feedback with the design of the unit.
With the 25 hours of battery life and IP67 water and dust resistance of the XG300 wireless speaker, you can enjoy a whole day of party from the beach, to the park, and to the pool. Stream anywhere and get things booming with Party Connect where you can combine up to 100 compatible X-series wireless speakers with BLUETOOTH technology and sync your music so everyone dances to the same beat. Make sure to download the Sony | Music Center app to Optimize audio settings, select playlist, cue the next Sony, and control Party Connect.
Thank you very much for your purchase and for choosing Sony!
