    This is probably one of the best speakers I’ve purchased. When I bought it it was fairly new as far as up and coming. I love this speaker I always go out on limb to try new products and I hit the bulls eye with this one

    It works overall and is sufficient for casual use. Nothing too fancy. I did however take a second look at brand once I listened to it. I thought the sound would be better for the cost and brand name. the outside is made of a material that gets dirty easily. The size and shape are nice. If you want to Jam - this is not the unit to get.

    Enjoyed most music from these (bought 2 for stereo) but overall sound is muffled. Getting them to play in stereo requires going to app and setting it up everytime. Not convenient at all and there were times one speaker would cut out. Speakers would not turn off automatically either even though a 15 minute timer was part of their DNA supposedly.

      Hi TMonk,

      Thank you for taking the time to review your SRS-XE300 speaker. We're sorry to hear it hasn't performed to your standards when it comes to the sound quality. We want to make sure you are getting the most out of your speaker. By downloading the Sony Music Center app, you will find all sorts of tools to fine-tune the speaker using the built-in EQ to ensure optimal listening experience. Additionally, we recommend to update the pre-installed software to the latest version on each and every speaker.

      It's important to note that when using the Stereo Pair and Part Connect function , the codec automatically switches to SBC. You may also find different devices will perform better than others, as will different apps due to different types of audio compression and transmission. If you're encountering distorted sound, humming, or noise in your speaker output, please follow the steps outlined in the links below to help resolve the issue.

      https://helpguide.sony.net/speaker/srs-xe300/v1/en/contents/TP1000611676.html
      https://www.sony.com/electronics/support/speakers-wireless-speakers/srs-xe300/articles/00245763

      XE300 has an Auto Standby function where it turns off automatically for about 15 minutes if the speaker satisfies the following conditions (At the time of purchase, the Auto Standby function is set to on):

      -No operation on the speaker.
      -The hands-free function of the connected smartphone or mobile phone is set to off and the smartphone or mobile phone is not playing music (audio), nor is it being operated. For details, refer to the operating instructions supplied with the smartphone or mobile phone.
      -The connected BLUETOOTH device, such as a WALKMAN®, is not playing music (audio), nor is it being operated.

    Sturdy speaker for decent sound

    Speaker is sturdy and sound is decent with good bass. Easy to use in mono mode but the stereo option (if you own two) unfortunately requires the app to be opened each time you want to enable stereo. Although they sound good in stereo given the sound stage of the music the sound can drop out momentarily due to signal issues.

      Hi Etdiel07, Awesome! We're glad that you are enjoying the audio quality of your new SRSXE200! 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.
