      Hi Jason,

      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

      The overall volume may vary depending on the source content. Turn up the volume of the speaker and the connected device. You also have the option to adjust the sound settings of the speaker to tailor-fit the sound quality to your needs. You may find this link helpful:

      https://helpguide.sony.net/speaker/srs-xg300/v1/en/contents/TP1000669923.html

      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.

      Additionally, you can use the Party Connect function and Stereo Pair function to enjoy a more powerful sound. You may refer to these links for more information:

      Hi MarieS, We're sorry to hear that you've had a bad experience with the new Sony XG300 portable speaker. Are you using the supplied AC power adapter to charge the unit? Have you tried using other cables and power adapters? Make sure that the AC adaptor is connected securely to the speaker. Then, make sure that the AC adaptor is connected securely to an AC outlet.

      Charge the speaker in an ambient temperature between 5 °C and 35 °C (41 °F and 95 °F). Be aware that the room temperature may fall to 5 °C (41 °F) or lower depending on the season, for example, especially in wintertime.

      Kindly check the link below. Please follow the steps to ensure proper charging of the speaker. https://helpguide.sony.net/speaker/srs-xg300/v1/en/contents/TP1000669896.html

    Amazing Bluetooth Speaker

    I just got back from vacation and much to my delight the Sony XG300 Bluetooth speaker had arrived. I had taken one of my smaller Bluetooth speakers with me that sounds really good but I have to say the Sony blows it away. My other speaker weighs about 2lbs and by comparison the Sony is a beast weighing in at just shy of 7lbs. The XG300 sits horizontal and has nice rubber feet on the bottom to protect the speaker. Inside of the speaker are a pair of tweeters and what Sony calls X-Balanced midrange/woofer drivers that appear more square than round along with 2 passive radiators. The sound is awesome. The speaker has Bluetooth 5.2 and pairs with everything I connected to fast and perfectly. I connected it to my phone, tablet, laptop and desktop computer with ease. Sony has the Sony Music Center app to allow you to adjust the EQ of the speaker if you don’t want to use what Sony calls Mega Bass. I actually prefer the EQ. As for connections there is a USB-C for charging and it is quick, a USB-A for charging your device, a 3.5mm input for connecting to something like your TV. I have not tried the 3.5mm jack yet but plan to try it on my projector. As I mentioned the unit is not what you might call light but Sony built in a retractable handle that works great and makes for a very smooth look when retracted. I do wish they had arranged the handle to deploy from both sides as opposed to only one side as it makes it a little off balance. There are controls on the top of the speaker for power, Bluetooth, Mega Boost, volume up/down and connection to your phone in the event of receiving a call. Sony claims that it provides Echo Cancelling technology for better call performance. The speaker is very attractive with a cloth covering that is supposed to be IP67 water proof and dust proof. I don’t plan on submerging my new speaker in water to test this so I will just take their word for it. At either end of the speaker where the passive radiators are located there are lights that can be controlled by the Music Center app and there are a lot of choices including OFF. The lights work well without being over bearing. My other speaker has the light at the bottom of the speaker and gets really bright so I never turn it on. The Sony has great ambient light and is great to use. The XG300’s can be paired for stereo and connected to up to 100 of these. Sony claims 25 hours of battery life and you can get 70 minutes of play time with only a 10-minute charge. I haven’t gotten close to having to recharge it at this point. As for sound this speaker is very impressive and it gets loud. With some tweaking of the EQ the highs are detailed without being harsh and the mids and bass sound great. Everything blends well together. This will definitely be my go-to Bluetooth speaker from now on. Obviously, this isn’t the least expensive speaker out there but as they say you get what you pay for and this is worth every penny spent. Can’t wait to get a second one to pair in stereo. I highly recommend the XG300.

      Hi mrcarnut,
      Thank you for an amazing review and recommendation! We're delighted to hear you like the incredible sound quality, lighting function, design, connectivity, Party connect and long battery life with your new Speaker. 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, cue the next Sony, and control Party Connect. We are looking forward to your next purchase and thank you so much for choosing Sony! - Kris Sony_US

      Hi NathanielM,

      Thank you for the review and we're sorry to hear if you're not satisfied with the bass sound quality of the speaker. Please allow us to help you and turn this into a better experience. The sound quality will depend in the source, battery, and environment that you're playing. You can swtich the sound effect to MEGA BASS effect for more dynamic sound. Simply press the MEGA BASS button on the speaker. (Each time you press the button, the MEGA BASS sound effect is activated or deactivated) We also recommend using the Sony Music Center app so you can adjust the sound quality setting and equalizer adjustment depending in your preference.

      Hi CarlosO,

      This is not the experience that we want you to have. This isn't normally the case with the SRSXG300. Make sure to charge the speaker with the supplied AC adaptor. The speaker is also capable of running on power from an AC outlet connected by the supplied AC adaptor.
