    I was dissatisfied with this speaker. In my opinion, they should make the necessary adjustments, starting with the sound quality. The sound is not loud enough and appears to be static. It's not worth the high price for the low quality it offers. Sony fell short of my expectations.

      Hi Chaak,

      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:

      https://www.sony.com/electronics/support/speakers-wireless-speakers/srs-xg300/software/00283954

      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. Please refer to this link:

      Hi Posty, we're glad that you like the sound quality of your speaker. We're also sorry if your having an issue with the mic. In the meantime, please try restarting the speaker.

After pairing the speaker with a new device, turn off the speaker and turn it back on, and then restart the speaker. https://helpguide.sony.net/speaker/srs-xg300/v1/en/contents/TP1000669933.html

      Hi Annthrax,

      Thank you for taking the time to review your XG300 speaker. We're so sorry it hasn't performed to your standards when it comes to battery life. We want to make sure you are getting the most out of your speaker. The XG300 will give you 25 hours of play when the battery is fully charged, meaning a single charge should be long enough to power through any party.

      Built-in battery life (while the speaker is not in Battery Care mode and a BLUETOOTH connection is established)
      Approx. 25 hours: Volume level: 24, Sound: MEGA BASS on, Lighting: off
      Approx. 15 hours (default): Volume level: 24, MEGA BASS on, Lighting: on
      Approx. 5 hours: Volume level: 50 (MAX.), MEGA BASS on, Lighting: off
      Approx. 4 hours: Volume level: 50 (MAX.), MEGA BASS on, Lighting: on

      The built-in battery life above is measured using our specified music source. Actual performance time may vary from the listed time due to the volume, songs played, surrounding temperature, and usage conditions.
