Battery life claims are a lie
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.For the price, I was hoping it would be able to get a lot louder. It definitely beats my old speaker, but that’s not saying much cuz my old one was like $10 and 1/5 the size. Also, the 16hr battery life is a complete lie. I get 3 hours before the low battery warning alert and can maybe get 4 hours out of a full charge. That’s really disappointing. Like why lie? Just say 4 hours max, that’s still a good battery.

Posted .Hi Mikey615,
Thank you for taking the time to review your SRS-XE200 speaker. We're so sorry if you find the speaker doesn't get very loud and it hasn't performed to your standards when it comes to battery life. We want to make sure you are getting the most out of your speaker. Depending on the connected BLUETOOTH device, volume adjustment on the BLUETOOTH device may not change the volume level of the speaker (i.e. the(power) indicator does not flash). When the volume of the speaker sounds low, adjust the volume level of the BLUETOOTH device to an appropriate one, and then adjust the volume level of the speaker with the +/- (volume) buttons on the speaker.
If the Sound becomes low while in use, refer to these helpful links:
https://helpguide.sony.net/speaker/srs-xe200/v1/en/contents/TP1000611675.html
https://www.sony.com/electronics/support/speakers-wireless-speakers/srs-xe300/articles/00278737
The XE200 will give you 16 hours of play when the battery is fully charged, meaning a single charge should be long enough to power through any party. And Sony's unique mic sensing technology, Ambient Noise Sensing, helps save battery when used outside.
Built-in battery life (while the speaker is not in Battery Care mode and a BLUETOOTH connection is established)
Approx. 16 hours: Volume level: 31, STAMINA: on
Approx. 10 hours (default): Volume level: 30, STAMINA: off
Approx. 3 hours: Volume level: 50 (MAX.), STAMINA: off
The built-in battery life above is measured using our specified music source. Actual performance time may vary from the listed time due to the volume, songs played, surrounding temperature, and usage conditions.

Thank you for taking the time to review your SRS-XE200 speaker.

To get the most out of the volume, turn up the volume of the speaker and the connected device.

Posted .Hi Samm,
Thank you for your feedback on the SRS-XG300. We're glad to hear that you find it good overall.
We apologize that the volume isn't quite what you hoped for and that you're experiencing a quick battery drain. We understand how important these features are for an enjoyable listening experience.
To try to solve these problems we recommend the following:
- If the speaker is not loud enough, consider adjusting the setting “Priority on Stable Connection” using the unit itself or the Sony | Music Center app. For detailed instructions, please visit the following link: https://helpguide.sony.net/speaker/srs-xg300/v1/en/contents/TP1000669898.html
- Make sure your SRS-XG300 has the latest software update. https://www.sony.com/electronics/support/speakers-wireless-speakers/srs-xg300/software/00283954
- Charge the speaker fully before use and use a compatible USB charging adapter for efficient charging.
- Disable functions like “Battery Care” if you need longer playtime. https://helpguide.sony.net/speaker/srs-xg300/v1/en/contents/TP1000669896.html?search=battery%20care
For additional information, please visit the following link:https://helpguide.sony.net/speaker/srs-xg300/v1/en/contents/TP1000669901.html
If the problem persists after trying these steps, we recommend that you reach out directly to our technical support team. Their contact information can be found here: https://us.esupport.sony.com/support/s/support-contact?language=en_US&category=car

All about the vass
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Its a nice speaker, but does not have the bass of the xtra bass speakers thst sony has.
I would recommend this to a friendBrand response from SonyListens
Posted .Hi Holly,
Thank you for your time writing this review. We are sorry but the SRSXE200 speaker is not specifically advertised as having Extra bass. If you are looking for the Sony speaker with Mega or Extra bass, we recommend our XG300, XG500, XB43and XB23.
However, With the XE200 Wireless speaker. - A Line-Shape Diffuser and X-balanced speakers provide a wide sound stage, with powerful bass and richer sound. Pair with IP67 Waterproof, dustproof1 and shockproof design, this speaker is made for even the strongest elements. The bass effect and sound quality will also depend on the source and quality of the music you are playing. We suggest playing quality audio for the best listening experience. We also recommend using the Sony | Music Center app. It has a sound quality setting and equalizer adjustment that you can use to adjust and enhance your listening experience.

Rugged, Stylish, Great Sound
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sony seems to make the best portable speakers out there. I picked this one as an upgrade to a the SRS-XB23 (which is still a great speaker). The XE300 has better sound to me. There are two features that have me using this every day. One, you can connect two devices to it at the same time, and two, it works well as a speakerphone. I have this connected to my phone for listening to music and podcasts throughout the day, and also paired to a laptop to use when I need to join meetings. The sound is great, a little bass heavy at first but can be adjusted in the Sony Music Center app. Using it for calls has worked surprisingly well. People on the other end said that my voice was clear and no issues. It is also very nice looking. While this is a rugged speaker, the texture almost looks like fabric, and it looks very nice. The shape is really nice for a rather bulky speaker, the angles make it easy to pick up or set on the side if you like. Having it out by the pool, there is no need to worry about splashes. Charging is done over usb type c, and charged very quickly. Battery life is great, I’m getting near the claimed 24 hours. This speaker can also be joined as a group with others (using the Party Connect feature). This allows all joined speakers to act as one, or you can join two together to make a stereo pair. I can’t think of any faults with this product, it seems perfect for my needs and I expect it to last for years.
