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.

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

Don’t buy it unless it’s a gift for an enemy.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very disappointed with the speakers-as I had two speakers (same Brandon model and year, bought the same day. I was sold on them because they were supposed to pair very easily, and could play as a stereo unit however, the pairing and connecting them to Bluetooth was always a challenge, and instead of getting easier and more difficult and after about a month almost didn’t work at all losing Reception from iPhone, 3 feet or less, and sometimes walking in between the speakers in the room seem to make them go out, which seems hard to believe they went out so much the last few days they were not working or not playing as much as they were playing often in the beginning after 10 minutes to pair them each time the sound quality was excellent but everything else is just not worth it, not for $150. There’s just too many options once you’re at that price point, if they work just got a piece it wasn’t worth it in the end because they were completely defective although they worked fine once paired for three or four weeks, but going off and then going on every five seconds is jet better to sit in silent.

“Poor sound quality”
||Posted . Owned for 10 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was dissatisfied with this speaker. In my opinion, they should make the necessary adjustments, starting with the sound quality. The sound is not loud enough and appears to be static. It's not worth the high price for the low quality it offers. Sony fell short of my expectations.

-When the ambient temperature of the speaker is high.
You also have the option to adjust the sound settings of the speaker to tailor-fit the sound quality to your needs. Please refer to this link:
