A smaller speaker with big sound.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We use this as the only speaker for our small tv projector. It really sounds like we have a much more expensive/expansive sound system. Sounds great when we just play music through it also.

Dissapointing
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I really wanted to be able to give this speaker a 5 star rating. Pros: It sounds really good, it looks really good. I haven't had a chance to throw it into water yet so I can't speak to the IP67 rating. CONS: The Bluetooth pairing is very unstable, it constantly drops. The other day after it dropped I was able to re-connect it but no matter what I did I couldn't get sound to play through the speaker. I bought 2 of them to create a stereo pair, which sounds great and offers better sound coverage pointing in different directions since they aren't super loud. The problem is it's constantly dropping the 2nd speaker from the pair. They can't handle any heat, if you are using them outside make sure they are in the shade, if they get warm at all they will just shut down. While it does sound really good like any Sony should, it doesn't get very loud. Lastly, the stated battery life is a joke. At 3/4 volume the battery will last about 8 hours which is decent but no where near the 24 hours they advertise. I can't recommend a better option but I can say it's worth looking into other options and finding something else.

Posted .Hi Jrfromffx, Thank you for sharing your time with the Sony XE300 portable speaker. While we are happy that you are impressed with the sound quality, we're sad to hear that you are having connectivity and battery issues. This is definitely not what we wanted you to experience. Please make sure that your device has the latest firmware update. The firmware release can help improve connectivity and retention of the Sound settings.
The optimal operating temperature of the device is 5 °C – 35 °C.
We recommend not to use or leave the unit in an extremely cold or hot environment (temperature outside the range of 5 °C – 35 °C). If the unit is used or left in outside the above range, the unit may automatically stop to protect internal circuitry.
As for the battery, please make sure to fully charge it every time it's depleted. It may take approximately 5 hours for the empty battery to be fully charged (100%) while the unit is powered off.
I hope this helps but if you still need assistance, do not hesitate to drop us an email at socialsupport@am.sony.com with the following details:

When placed in a great spot, the sound is full for listening to spotify tracks. I did buy this on sale however.
