design flaw
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is more of a design flaw I see. When I plug the dc power in the back to charge the speaker the plastic cover wants to close so it presses up on the plug bending it up. I can see over time the input being bent and breaking over some time.

Best Bluetooth Speaker for 2022
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Setup: Pretty simple. I unboxed it and plugged it in the wall and connected the USB C power cord to the back. Then it was charging. I turned it on and it entered pairing. I went to my iPhone settings and connected and was able to stream music. Everything worked well. I further setup the Sony Music Fiesta app and it gave me options for sound profile, pairing other speakers, controlling lighting profiles. In the app you can control your music like on phone or Spotify so that makes things easy. Also, you can not use the app and just stream music from your device like any other Bluetooth source which is how I prefer it Sound Quality: I played with the clear sound profile and the manual Eq but unfortunately, I was not able to get a balance of bass from the mega bass vs no bass with mega bass off. I understand though since it Is Bluetooth, and the speakers are only so big. The biggest surprise is the separation of mids and tweeters which gives cleaner and louder sound. This really moved this device up a whole other level form the smaller previous gen Sony Bluetooth speaker. They were smaller but this is worth the trade of for a fuller sound. Speaker phone: I tried the speaker phone since that was unique to this category of device. I was told that the callers on the other side could hear their own voices and my voice was very faint. I tried to get close and at a normal 6’ distance and nothing helped. In a pinch I could see it working for a friend who calls in at a gathering where everyone would talk to them but for anything else I think there are many other options. Battery life. I found I was able to listen to it all day at work for 3 days now for 8 hrs and it still has not died. Also, I did charge my phone on the included usb ports while streaming for 3 hours. That is more than enough to go between charges for me. I think you could easily make a few days at the beach or camping without a power charger. Other: I liked the built-in handle which is nice. I like that it is waterproof and dustproof so if can really be used anywhere. I also like the lights on the side subs which as pizzaz without being too much. I also am not sure on the size since it is pretty wide which is fine but I cannot stand it on it’s side without covering one of the speakers. I think this is the most balanced Bluetooth speaker I have tested to date. Awesome job Sony.

Excellent Sound, and LOUD!
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.If you want a powerful party speaker with great sound, the Sony SRS-XG300 Bluetooth Speaker is everything you want. It is the perfect speaker for a party at the beach, lake, pool or weekend away and checks all the boxes: long battery life, superb sound, easy setup, heftable package, and reasonable controls. And it is really, really loud, fill the room loud. There are light rings on either end of the tubular speaker that provide some neat effects without being obnoxious. Pairing is fast, particularly if you have an Android phone with Google Fast Pair: turn on the speaker and a pairing notification pops right up. Otherwise, there is a Bluetooth button, along with a power, mega bass, play, volume up, and down along the top. Also a popup carrying strap. The Mega Bass button switches on a bass heavy sound mode, perfect for beats or party dance. For more controls, you install the Sony Music Center app (windows or phone) for audio controls and the Sony Fiestable app for all sorts of lighting patterns. As far as I can tell, you'll want to install both. The Music Center app works well on a Windows system, Chromebook, and Android phone. Not the best looking app, but functional and it gives you an equalizer, remote volume control, and battery level. There are a couple of extras worth mentioning. It's both waterproof (IP67, well splashproof) and dustproof, so it's ok at the beach, lake, on a boat or even a drizzly campsite. There is a (output) charging port for charging a phone or other devices, nice if you are out for a weekend and forgot a charger. There is a button under the charging cover to limit the battery charge and prolong the life of the battery(the other Sony speaker I have is going on three years, so they seem to use high quality cells). It also has a noise and echo cancelling microphone that will let you take your calls. It works pretty well. Probably the only downside is that the size and weight (6lbs) keep it from being a 'throw in the bag' speaker. It's a speaker to get a party started and keep it going. Overall, the Sony XB300 is an excellent portable speaker with great sound, build quality, battery life and features, making it an excellent value and highly recommended.
