Hi MikeP,
We regret to hear that you are not satisfied with the XG300. 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:
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. Additionally, you can use the Party Connect function and Stereo Pair function to enjoy a more powerful sound. You may find these links helpful:
Hope this helps. In case you need further assistance, please email us at [email protected] with the following details:

I'm glad I waited until today to write a review. This thing worked great in Party Mode connecting with an ULT Field 7. Until it took an update. Now the audio cuts in and out. Only when using this mode. Sony dropped the price by $200 recently which prompted the purchase. Shortly afterward they dropped a bunch of new ULT devices. I hope their is no intentional obsoletion at play.

Hello Cthulhu, thank you for reaching out to us! We're sorry to hear that your XG300 speaker is experiencing issues following the software update. To resolve this, please try resetting the speaker by pressing and holding the (play)/(call) button along with the MEGA BASS button until the device powers off (this should take about 5 seconds or longer). Please ensure that the speaker is turned on while performing these steps, as it cannot be initialized when powered off. If the problem persists, please contact us at [email protected], providing your name, username, model number, a description of the issue, and your telephone number. We are here to assist you further. Best regards, -Jenn.

Hi ErrolA, Thank you for the feedback on your experience with your SRSXE300. While we're glad you like the excellent battery life, we regret to hear about the volume level did not meet your expectations. To ensure optimal listening experience, please follow the steps on this link:
Please note: 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.
If the sound becomes low while in use, follow the procedure below. -Turn off the speaker. -Charge the built-in battery sufficiently.
We also have noted your input about the lack of auxiliary input and will be sure to forward this feedback to the appropriate department.
Should you need further assistance, please email us at [email protected] with the following details:

This is a very nice Bluetooth speaker in terms of solid construction and the ease of Bluetooth pairing with your cell phone, TV or PC. It has all the best features for dustproof, waterproof and shockproof design.
Bass reproduction is very strong although the overall volume capability was lower on my non-Sony brand TV. However from the PC or cell phone - the volume was louder. Also on my Sony brand TV the volume could be set very loud. On the non-Sony brand TV there was also a pop-up from the TV every time I turned the system on to ask if I wanted the Bluetooth speaker. On the Sony TV on every power on the Bluetooth Sony speaker just connected automatically. This could be important to know if you are interested in using this speaker for enhanced TV audio.
On the very positive side, any TV I used had far better sound using this small Bluetooth speaker than the internal speakers. This I believe is at least partly due to Sony's ‘Line-Shape Diffuser’ technology that distributes the sound energy evenly – I have to say this did work nicely.
I did find that if needed, the claim of 70 minutes playback with only 10 minutes charge time was indeed true.
Be aware that even though the Bluetooth blue LED is blinking, the speaker does not attempt to pair unless you tap the Bluetooth button on the speaker.
Of course a fantastic option is connecting this Bluetooth speaker to your cell phone. Download the Sony Music Center app and you will have added facilities for shaping the sound. You can also enable the microphone on this device and use it with Alexa or Google to ask the time or other commands.
Great product and I highly recommend it.

Hi RalphHenry, Thank you for the fantastic and thorough review of your new Sony SRS-XE200! We're glad you like the solid construction, easy Bluetooth pairing, IP67 rating, powerful bass, quick charging, easy to use Sony Music Center app, and excellent sound quality of your new Bluetooth 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. The XE200 will give you 16-hours of play when the battery is fully charged, that means that a single charge should be long enough to power through any party. Thanks for choosing Sony! -Sam

Says 52 hours of life…. Which is true BUT as the battery lowers so does the sound. If battery is at 60% and you have it all the way up its only playing loud up to 60% which means even though its on max valume its really dim

Hi IvanP,
Thank you for the review and we're glad to hear you like the speaker. The battery depends on the usage and the sound settings. When you use the speaker at a loud volume, the built-in battery may run low. If you want to reach the built-in battery life of speaker with approx. 25 hours of usage. You must have the speaker volume level at 24, the sound: MEGA BASS on, and the lighting should be off.
