Approx. 15 hours (default): Volume level: 24, MEGA BASS on, Lighting: on

Clear, rich sound you can take anywhere
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.You want your Bluetooth speaker to be truly portable, durable, and hassle-free. Sony's SRS-XE300 speaker is a great solution with tons of great features offered to keep your party going, wherever you want to go. The SRS-XE300 is a mammoth device, measuring out at just under 10" tall and pretty hefty in weight. It has a unique, five-sided shape that is promoted to provide extra power and a more balanced clarity of sound. Most of the speaker is covered in a grippable rubber coating with a line shape diffuser that allows audio to be distributed evenly around a room and conserves sound quality. I did find myself accidentally pressing the buttons on occasion when picking up the speaker and moving it around, as the buttons are all prominently lined up on one side. It is water, dust, and shock proof to an extent, able to withstand everyday bumps - you can feel safe bringing this baby to a beach or poolside. Connecting via Bluetooth is quick and easy, and the Sony Music Connect app allows for hassle-free control and access to your mobile device's music and audio apps all in one location. And the battery life is pretty solid, with 24 hours of playtime after a full charge and a quick 70-minute play usage with a 10-minute charge. A nice feature is its battery care protection, which extends battery life span by stopping charges short of 100%. Sound and audio from this device is unsurprisingly crisp and full. It has a noticeable richness in bass tones and provides clear, distortion-free sound in all directions. I was a little underwhelmed by the actual max volume, however, as I had expected bigger sound from such a big device. With the SRS-XE300, you are trading loudness for clarity, which seems fair. Despite just a few shortcomings, the SRS-XE300 portable speaker is an impressive option. Its weighted, large size will withstand everyday usage, and it has the juice to last all day. It is easy to setup and pair, and its sound is rich and clear from all angles. Sony has another great speaker for you to get your hands on.

Nice, but wouldn’t spend extra money
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sound quality was nice but should have been better. It was also a bit heavy to carry around at the beach. Also, the so-called speaker function/mic wouldn’t stay connected and had poor mic/sound quality

Posted .Hi Posty, we're glad that you like the sound quality of your speaker. We're also sorry if your having an issue with the mic. In the meantime, please try restarting the speaker. Restarting the speaker does not delete its pairing information. The pairing information, however, is stored on the speaker when the speaker is turned off. After pairing the speaker with a new device, turn off the speaker and turn it back on, and then restart the speaker. https://helpguide.sony.net/speaker/srs-xg300/v1/en/contents/TP1000669933.html

Could be better, could be worse.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Posted .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.
