      Hi Bigbas,

      You made the right choice with the Sony XG300! We're glad that are enjoying the sound quality of the speaker. We also appreciate your review about its weight. With the 25 hours of battery life and IP67 water and dust resistance of the XG300 wireless speaker, you can enjoy a whole day of party from the beach, to the park, and to the pool. Stream anywhere and get things booming with Party Connect where you can combine up to 100 compatible X-series wireless speakers with BLUETOOTH technology and sync your music so everyone dances to the same beat. Make sure to download the Sony | Music Center app to Optimize audio settings, select playlist, and control Party Connect. Thanks for choosing Sony!

    Excellent Sound and Features

    Excellent sound and useful features make this an easy-to-recommend portable Bluetooth speaker. From the initial setup and to the easy-to-use app, this is a great speaker to have around. The collapsible strap makes for easy transportation and the light are nice and subtle and can be turned off if they're too distracting. While I may never be able to fully take advantage of it, the ability to link up with up to 100 other compatible speakers is super cool. This would be a great feature to have if you had friends with them and were hanging outside. The design and material are also very attractive and give a premium feel. The material is a soft fabric that looks very sleek. Add in that it's water and dust resistant, and it's ready to go to almost any place you'd like. It also has the cool ability to act as a power bank for your phone/tablet. It also has a good feature that you usually only find on laptops or similar devices - the option to turn on what Sony calls "Battery Care". This keeps the speaker from fully charging if it's going to be plugged into the wall for an extended time to help prolong the life of the battery itself and prevent degradation. Overall, this is a smartly-designed and sounding speaker. Between this and their headphones, I think Sony is killing it in the audio department. Pros: Excellent sound, great features, sleek design, retractable lifting strap, acts as a battery bank Cons: A bit pricey, may be considered somewhat big/heavy for a portable speaker

    A terrible, worthless piece of over priced trash ! At the time, I paid $200; it lasted 11 months and then the battery failed to recharge; its terrible design did not allow it to be replaced: Sony's One Year warranty was worthless, they did Nothing to help or address the issue-NEVER BUY Sony Products AGAIN

    This is worth $200 for the times you can find it on sale for that, which is thankfully not hard. Love that it has a built-in carrying handle, bonus is that it retracts, so it's not in the way. Also, if you're going to add lights to your speaker, take notes from Sony. This is how you want party lights on your speaker, if you want them at all. Subtle. Plain and simple. But as good as it is it feels like a couple of things are a miss. For one thing, it just feels like Sony is trying too hard with this. Yes it'll fit into most people's lives if they get it, yes it has great sound & great bass, but it seems like Sony is really striving to make an effort here to compete with their obvious main competitor JBL. It's like this is Sony's version of the JBL Xtreme 3 while the Sony XG500 is their version of the JBL Boombox 3. However Sony is giving us better prices than JBL at the moment and Sony is also NOT cutting corners with either sound quality or how powerful their speakers currently are. So do I recommend this? Well yes, provided you catch it on sale. Regular price version JBL Xtreme 3 vs regular price version Sony XG300 I'd say get the JBL Xtreme 3. However as Sony is giving retailers better sale price opportunities than JBL I'd recommend a Sony if you can wait to get it on sale. That'll be a big factor for many I'm sure: do you want/need it right away, and if so, is either of them on sale? This will get your party started and keep it going too just as much as any JBL speaker, so I'd recommend going off price at time of buying. But also, my main recommendation is looking at this speaker in general. Without comparing it to anything else. Even then it's well worth a couple hundred bucks.
