Posted .Hi Luis,
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 and volume level. We want to make sure you are getting the most out of your speaker. By downloading the Sony Music Center app, there is a built-in EQ that has 20 points of control for Bass, Midrange, and Treble to tailor-fit the sound quality to your needs and ensure optimal performance with the speaker. 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 the sound is too low or the bass sound can't be heard, check if the Ambient Noise Sensing function is activated. Please note that when the Ambient Noise Sensing function is activated, the speaker detects environmental noises during the music playback. This function will help reduce power consumption and preserve the battery by cutting out bass sounds that will become hard to hear because of the ambient noise.

You may also find these steps helpful:

-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.
-Make sure to charge the built-in battery sufficiently.
You also have the option to adjust the sound settings of the speaker to tailor-fit the sound quality to your needs. For more information, please refer to this link:

Posted .Hi DewayneT,
Thank you for your purchase of the XE300. When it comes to audio quality, this function can be adjusted on the Sony Music Center app. Additionally, there is a built-in EQ that has 20 points of control for Bass, Midrange, and Treble to tailor-fit the sound quality to your needs. You can also check the app that you are using (for audio) or your source device for sound settings and adjustment.
The “Priority on Sound Quality” and “Priority on Stable Connection” preferences are available on the speaker for the BLUETOOTH connection quality. The “Priority on Sound Quality” preference provides compatibility not only with SBC but also with AAC and LDAC* for music playback of high sound quality, whereas the “Priority on Stable Connection” preference enables music playback via more stable BLUETOOTH connections.

Posted .Hi Djesusislive,
We are sorry to learn you're having Bluetooth pairing issues with the speaker. The SRS-XE200 requires the A2DP Bluetooth profile for Bluetooth playback. If you're unable to pair the speaker with a BLUETOOTH device, please follow the steps below to help troubleshoot this issue.
• Place the speaker and the BLUETOOTH device within 1 m (3.2 ft) of each other.
• If the (BLUETOOTH) indicator is not double flashing in blue, press the(BLUETOOTH) button. You hear voice guidance (BLUETOOTH pairing) and the(BLUETOOTH) indicator starts double flashing (pairing mode).
• If the speaker is not displayed on the BLUETOOTH device, turn off the BLUETOOTH function on the device, and then turn on the BLUETOOTH function again. It may improve symptoms.
• If the issue is still not resolved, change the sound quality mode from Priority on Sound Quality to Priority on Stable Connection. To change the setting, use the Sony | Music Center app to select Settings → Sound → Bluetooth Connection Quality → Priority on Stable Connection.

Despite your concerns, we're glad you like most of the features of this 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.

Not for Me
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Although this is built nicely this was not for me. For the cost the quality of sound lacks for the cost. The lights are what gets people who likes a vibe of a party animal. Having kids means they're moments away from poking something through it out of curiosity. Overall i give it a 2 star.

Cool looking with great sound
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This speaker has a different look to it and it makes a huge difference in the sound. This feature is called line-shape diffuser and it compresses the sound through a narrow opening in the front that surprisingly gives it a wider field of sound. Unlike a traditional speaker where the sweat spot of sound is in the very front, line-shape diffuser allows the sound to be as powerful to each side. The bass is great and can be adjusted through the mobile application. The mobile application is actually very useful and allows control over the sound profile or you can use the preset. The application also allows connection to your music library and you can configure favorites. A single speaker sounds great or you can get creative and combine up to 99 additional speakers for an extreme surround sound setup. I plan to buy at least one extra to take advantage of the stereo connection feature. Charge time was quick at the box and the battery life has been excellent using for outdoor cookouts. It is dust and water resistant so you use outside without having to be so delicate with it's use. Sony has took a portable speaker to the next level with this technology and and the look and output will not disappoint.

If you continue to prefer the sound profile of JBL speakers, it might simply be a matter of personal preference. Each brand has its own unique sound signature, and it's perfectly okay to prefer one over the other. ~Earl

Don't buy this one
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Totally unimpressed by Sony. This isn't the quality that Sony is known for at any price range. Furthermore, pairing for stereo sound only works until you move a couple feet away. One speaker will start stuttering. The EQ is terrible.

With regards to the distance when pairing two SRSXE200 for stereo sound, please make sure that the 2 speakers to connect for the function are located within 1 m (3.2 ft) from each other. For stuttering issues, select “Priority on Stable Connection (SBC)” for the BLUETOOTH connection quality of the speaker. You may refer to this link for more details:

On the other hand, there are songs that have really low bass sound and barely being heard when played. Raising the volume on both the speaker and source device could help. Again, we appreciate you sharing your experience and we do hope you'd still consider our products in your future purchases. Regards, -Craig
