I bought this for my husband, he loves it and I enjoy it too. It’s loud, clear, charges quickly and lasts long, easy to carry and lightweight. Overall it was a great gift choice! The lighting on the side is extra cool, our kids enjoy that part

I bought two Sony XE300 Bluetooth Speakers to create stereo sound to use with my computer. These speakers are crystal clear and make music and movies sound spectacular on my computer and on their own paired with my iphone. The speakers really do have a 20 hour battery life. Set up and customization is easy using the app. Of note, I originally planned to buy JBL speakers, but when I heard the Sony speakers, I couldn't believe the difference in quality and had to get the Sony speakers. The larger Sony XG300 was actually the first Sony speaker I listened too. It sounds amazing too and I would have purchased it if I hadn't been looking for computer speakers because it has more kick and a "bass booster".

Overall, this is a great-sounding speaker. I bought two of them, and pairing them together really made the audio feel more cohesive compared to using just one—though even on its own, it still performs impressively well. I’d definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a solid, portable speaker with good clarity and volume. The only reason I’m not giving it a full 5 stars is that it can sound a bit mono at times, though that might just be because I haven’t fully explored or adjusted the settings yet. Other than that, it’s a strong buy.

Couldn’t wait to un box the new Sony SRS-XE300. Plugged it in to fully charge and quickly downloaded the recommended music center app with ease. Cosmetically I like the look of the speaker especially with the cloth seams. Okay, now that it is fully charged, let’s talk about the sound. I used this for multiple applications, so let me start with the use of the call/voice pairing. I took a few calls from it and sounded very clear with no echoing. Next was the true sound quality test for music. A couple good things would have to be the improved base quality and the ability to not hear any distortion as I increased the volume to max volume. Unfortunately, I felt the highs in this speaker did not sound as crystal clear compared to other portable speakers I own. It’s not that it was bad, but not deserving of 5 stars. Solid sound though. I think why this product my be more appealing for some is all the cool features. One that is cool is that you can pair it with other speakers, shock resistant, water and dust proof (great around the pool), microphone pairing, and up to 24 hours battery life. I have only tested it for about 10 hours so far and is still running strong, which is a nice feature for me. All in all, I think this is an improvement from past Sony speakers I have used, but I think that if they can get a slightly better balance and clearness of the highs, they will compete with other high end products like Bose. I’m looking forward to taking this on my travels.

For the size and price this is a great speaker. Its more than enough to fill a bedroom, living room, or kitchen and the sound quality is good. The bass is good as well the only thing I can nitpick is at full volume it does lose a tiny bit of clarity but overall I really like this speaker. The battery life is also good, it pairs easily and its super portable, I would buy it again.

If you’re in the market for a portable, durable, and well designed Bluetooth speaker with multi -speaker pairing capabilities (up to 100), look no further. Whether filling the house or backyard with crisp and powerful audio, or taking a call in the office, the SRS-XE300 seems to check all the boxes. The battery life is exceptional and provides up to 24 hours of play time on a full charge. Additionally, Sony claims that the quick charge feature will provide 70 minutes of play time with just a 10 minute charge from it’s USB-C charging port. To keep that battery healthy the Battery Care features works to preserves optimal battery life by preventing overcharging. The Music Center app has some great features and can enable some interesting functions. For example, Party Connect allows for 2 speaker stereo or up to 100 speaker sync. All over home audio couldn’t be easier. The Music Center app also allows you to adjust settings, manage playback and more. The sound quality is excellent with clear highs, firm mids and punchy lows. Outdoors you’ll notice how the design helps push sound all around you. The sound projects and pushes to fill the entire space. I can’t wait to pick up another and see what these can do in stereo!

Sounds great and loud, bass is tubular, very portable, battery life is much better than my last speaker, and this looks very clean

One of the best sounding speakers I have heard!!! I used to buy JBL and when I went to buy this I saw that it was $200 off and that it was true High Def audio. It has the best bass and sounds so good. I did see some reviews about how it didn't get loud enough. I was worried about that but don't know what they were talking about this this gets plenty loud.

It is a very well made speaker! Durable, battery lasts a good time but it does not sound too good. Volume is not too loud either! I used it at the beach and while battery lasted, the volume at some point was not loud enough, I didn't want to start a party or anything, but with the waves, people around with other speakers and just the noise around us, I really think this speaker could be louder, also, it is on the bigger side, still very portable! But for the size, I was expecting more battery and volume (also quality). This are not game changers! It is an awesome speaker! I am just telling my experience.

I wanted a portable speaker that had more power than the smaller ones we continued to have problems with not enough sound, and the loss of bluetooth connectivity. This Sony speaker has been amazing - we have had no issues connecting to a variety of sources), it produces serious volume with excellent sound! It is very portable and with the places we roll, waterproof and dustproof are key! I am also enjoying the long battery life...

Such a good speaker it last so long I take it to work and put at 7am and it lasts all the way to 7pm and still with charge the audio is nice and loud I love it best purchase I ever made I 100% recommend is nice and affordable and it fit everywhere !! And is waterproof

This is probably the best portable Bluetooth speaker that I currently own. Sony did a lot of things right here. The reason to me this is a keeper, is the sturdy construction, and battery life. First things noticed upon unboxing is that this is a speaker that is going to last for years. You can tell it’s built to take a beating and keep on playing. Made sturdy with a strong strap attached for hanging, and carrying. The paperwork that came with it mentioned that it passed the drop test from 4’ high onto 2” thick plywood. This little guy also boasts an IP rating of IP67. This refers to the ingress protection of the speaker, which means the level of protection from solid particles entering the speaker housing, as well as water spray . The higher the IP #, the better protection offered. You can look up the specifics regarding the rating numbers and IP ratings online, it's easy to find. There’s a lot involved so I’ll spare you from me acting like an expert on ingress protection, but I will tell you is that I used to work for a company that purchased electric DC motors from China that went on commercial mobile equipment, and those motors had much lower IP ratings than this little speaker. In other words, well done Sony! I imagine it makes this a great option for people that work outside, like construction workers and such. None of this however, means you can just willie nillie throw it in the pool, or in a body of water and expect it to keep working. Enough about the structure and protection, let’s talk about battery life. Right out of the box it had 1 orange light lit when plugged in. I plugged it into an outlet and checked it every 10 minutes for the sake of reviewing. In approx. 1 hour and 20 minutes, it was fully charged. I’ve charged it a couple times since and it takes about 2 hours now to fully charge after taking it down to low. Not bad at all! Recently, I have been working from home for 1 week due to contracting covid. I listen to music on this speaker all day and after 6+ hours of constant use, when I pressed the button on the unit to check the battery life, it was still at 80%. The marketing for this speaker boasts a listening experience all day, and it was NOT kidding. The Bluetooth pairing was super-fast and effortless. Works with both iOS and Android. The phone answering function and call quality with people on the other line, was perfect quality and worked great. I used it for multiple phone calls throughout the day for work. The Bluetooth range is approx. 30m (98ft) range. Never disconnected from my phone once during the day, and I live in a tri-level. The sound is not the best, and not the worst for a Bluetooth speaker of this size that I’ve owned. I will say for sure that hanging it by the strap during playback, or laying it on its side horizontal orientation, with the buttons facing up, is the best sound quality I get. Standing it up straight works also, with the control buttons vertical, but it seriously lacks in dispersing the sound, and in sound quality in this orientation. All in all, great speaker that I expect will last for many years to come, even if my kids borrow it and take it on excursions with their friends! (lost many a good speaker that way lol)

This speaker is perfect for just about anywhere. Crystal clear sound and mega bass booster. It is lightweight which makes it easy to take with you places. Waterproof feature make it great for the both the pool and the beach! Battery seems to last a very long time. We used it all long for a baseball tournament and did not need to charge it!

I'll start off by saying that this speaker is really really good for the size and price when you buy it on sale. But tbh, it's not great. The speaker has a really nice (somewhat) balanced sound. For a speaker at this price range and size, the bass is decent, and the mids and highs come come out clearly across various volume level. If you really want really deep bass, get something different. But if you want a good sounding bass without being overwhelming, then this speaker is really good for that. I just wish it could also pump out the deeper bass if we wanted to...the Megabass kind of helps but then changes the sound profile of the mids and highs. The Sony app is a really capable app and has decent customization. As for the side lights, that did not influence me one way or another. I do appreciate that Sony still has an aux input. My daughter plugs in her dj controller into this speaker to practice, which is perfect for moving room to room around the house.

Love this speaker. It has nice lights, sounds great and gets loud. I let it full charge and used it almost everyday and the charge lasted almost a month for me

This speaker is great! The sound is clear and has good bass. The battery lasts a long time, and it’s easy to carry around. The Bluetooth works well without any problems. I recommend it!

The overall size and weight is very manageable. The sound quality surprised me at first being very very good. It is very simple to navigate all the feature andbthe battery life is very good. I intend on buying another one to chain together with this one for our back yard gatherings.

Lightweight, feels well built, may need a little adjusting with the sound on the app but I prefer it because it allows me to tune to speaker to my preference. Water resistant, great to keep in the shower. Amazing battery life. Another great Sony product!!!

The Sony XE 200 is a awesome speaker. I bought it for my trip to the Caribbean. I love the fact it has a string attached to the speaker it is very convenient. I had it hooked on a tree and was playing music at 80% while I was in the water. To my surprise I could hear from 350 feet away or more while I was at the beach taking a swim. Me and my family was there for several hours and I still had plenty of battery life left when we got back to our condo. The sound was solid, and well balanced, and at no point the speaker felt like was it was struggling. I would definitely recommend this product.
