    Great product-not loud enough in big equipment

    Sony is a dependable product. The reason we bought this particular speaker is to use in a piece of heavy equipment. In the store it sounded loud enough for our purpose. However, in a large piece of equipment, it does not go loud enough. Great product - just not loud enough for our specific purpose.

      Hi DonnaB, We're truly glad you like most of the features of this speaker. We're sorry to hear if you find the speaker doesn't get very loud for your specific purpose. 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). If the Sound becomes low while in use, refer to these helpful links:

      https://www.sony.com/electronics/support/speakers-wireless-speakers/srs-xe300/articles/00278737

      The XE200 speaker sends sound out from a small, compact unit. You can spread sound wider with the Line-Shape Diffuser and enjoy powerful sound pressure and clarity with the X-Balanced Speaker, all housed inside a portable speaker with a handy strap. Thank you for sharing your feedback and for choosing Sony! -Jess Sony_US

      Hi DustinW,

      Thanks for sharing your review and experience with the XG300. We're glad that you like the design, sound quality, and connectivity of the speaker. Your feedback about the battery life and volume is greatly appreciated.

      For optimum performance, make sure that the software version of the speaker is up-to-date. You may find this link helpful:

      https://www.sony.com/electronics/support/speakers-wireless-speakers/srs-xg300/software/00283954

      Make sure to charge the built-in battery sufficiently. The sound may become low in the following cases. This is not a malfunction.

      -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.
      -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. You may find this link helpful:

      https://helpguide.sony.net/speaker/srs-xg300/v1/en/contents/TP1000669923.html

      Additionally, you can use the Party Connect function and Stereo Pair function to enjoy a more powerful sound. You may refer to these links for more information:

      https://helpguide.sony.net/speaker/srs-xg300/v1/en/contents/TP1000669921.html https://helpguide.sony.net/speaker/srs-xg300/v1/en/contents/TP1000669922.html

      The speaker has approximately 25 hours of battery life when fully charged. (Provided that the volume level of the speaker is set to 24, the sound effect is set to MEGA BASS, and the lighting function is set to off). Make sure to charge the built-in battery sufficiently. Actual performance time may vary due to the volume, songs played, surrounding temperature, and usage conditions. For more information, please refer to this link (under "Built-in battery life"):

      https://helpguide.sony.net/speaker/srs-xg300/v1/en/contents/TP1000669896.html

      Hi Joseph, we're glad you are enjoying our product. We understand your feedback regarding the bass on your Sony unit;. You can deactivate the Ambient Noise Sensing function using the Sony | Music Center app or the speaker button. This function is designed to detect environmental noises during music playback and help reduce power consumption and preserve the battery by cutting out bass sounds that may become hard to hear because of the ambient noise.
