      Hi KeithP, we're glad you love our product. We appreciate your feedback regarding the Line-Shape Diffuser feature of this SRSXE200. With the Line-Shape Diffuser, the sound spreads further to the front area of the speaker allowing you to enjoy the same sound quality whether you are at the front or to the side of the speaker. This means that everyone in your venue can dance to the same music feeling the same sound quality. Unlike a conventional speaker, with most of the energy focused from the center of the cone, our unique Line-Shape Diffuser refocuses the sound through a narrow aperture. The increase in sound pressure energy spreads the audio equally in each direction both further and wider out from the speaker.

      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. Pair with IP67 Water resistance, dustproof and shockproof design, this speaker is made for even the strongest elements. Keep the party going with up to 16-hours of battery life on a single charge and USB-C quick charging gives you up to 70 minutes of playback after just 10 minutes of charge time. Thanks for choosing Sony. ~Earl Sony_US

      Hi JeffC,

      Thanks for sharing your review and experience with the XE300. It's unfortunate that you are not satisfied with the speaker. Your feedback is extremely important to us and is very much appreciated. For optimum performance, make sure that the software version of the speaker is up-to-date. Please refer to this link for more information:

      https://www.sony.com/electronics/support/speakers-wireless-speakers/srs-xe300/software/00283954

      The overall volume may vary depending on the source content. Turn up the volume of the speaker and the connected device. Make sure to charge the built-in battery sufficiently. The sound may become low in the following cases. This is not a malfunction.

      -When the built-in battery is running low and the CHARGE indicator flashes slowly, while the speaker is being powered by the built-in battery only.

      -When the rechargeable built-in battery is running low as a result of long-time use of the speaker at a loud volume even though the speaker was connected to an AC outlet by a USB AC adaptor (commercially available) or to a computer that comes equipped with a USB charging port.

      -When the ambient temperature of the speaker is high.

      By downloading the Sony Music Center app, you will find all sorts of tools to fine-tune the speaker using the built-in EQ and maximize the volume to ensure optimal listening experience. You made find this link helpful:

      https://helpguide.sony.net/speaker/srs-xe300/v1/en/contents/TP1000669365.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:
