Customer Ratings & Reviews

I always buy Sony products when it comes to Bluetooth Speakers & Bluetooth Headphones. I'm a huge music listener & their products not only come with an industry best product warranty, but they come with excellent battery life, excellent build quality, & excellent sound quality! I got thos for my birthday, which is tomorrow. I wanted the Sony SRS-XG500, but sadly I didn't have enough money for it. Is choosing between this & the JBL Xtreme3, which I owned previously.. I would choose the JBL. & For me, that is a major win for JBL. Sony has always been better from what I have experienced. The JBL is slightly louder, slightly more punchy for bass, & the shoulders strap was what I really loved. Sony beats JBL when comparing this model & the JBL Xtreme3 when it comes to overall sound quality & battery life.

Great speaker, the lights are cool, very easy to connect to your smartphone via Bluetooth, the sound is great, good volume, bass is great. Music sounds clear and without distortion. I'm happy with the product.

Excellent speaker. Clear sound with just the right amount of bass. Easy to carry, durable and long lasting battery. Bought it on sale so definitely best bang for the buck!

Great Speaker. I got it on sale and was not too sure about what to expect. The speaker is awesome, it can handle large space and fill them with perfect sound without any problems, it also works great for smaller spaces. The base is deep. It pairs up to multiple devices and switching between them is super easy. Battery lasts forever and you can charge your phone or other devices with it. Very well built and looks amazing.

I purchased this speaker for my Can-Am Commander SxS, it fits in my rear window perfectly and the bass and sound is amazing compared to other speakers that I have tried, it is very loud and clear, great price compared to other models this not only sounds great but the features with the app are great, will be purchasing Sony in the future.

Very good for a Bluetooth speaker, only a few areas for improvement. -The sound quality is very good, though it tends to be bass heavy at low volumes and there’s only one audio mode that allows it to be turned back. There’s no equalizer for the Livesound mode and Audioclarity+ is only available with Megabass on. It does have much better midrange than most Bluetooth speakers I’ve listened to. -Livesound does provide a fairly convincing stage depth effect when positioned in front of the listener properly. -It tends to rollover easily on uneven surfaces. -Both apps could use some design and usability improvements, but they both work. -Even with autostandby on, it will remain on and connected to my iPhone indefinitely, even with no audio playing. -The lighting could use more effects and more customizability, and it would be better if it could get brighter when plugged in.

This speaker is great. If you are looking for bass this is the one to choose. It is a heavy speaker and very durable. I love the appearance and feel. The battery life is also great

Loud enough to hear it over a vacuum cleaner, oven vent, etc. I leave mine plugged in while using it, playing music between breaks. Lasts 7-8 hours otherwise at 90% volume. Strange there is no aux jack underneath the charging cover. The bass is almost too strong, while the high end is slightly muffled, like the sound is bouncing around a corner... Lag is very low, almost nonexistent, even playing through a bluetooth antenna to reach this thing. I'd rather see a minimum battery life claim advertised for these things. How long can it go at full volume playing metal and house music? Its a more useful figure for customers.

I bought this speaker 2 months ago and since then I’ve noticed a few things. This speaker destroys the lows anything hip hop based or alternative will rock these drivers. But when putting on lynyrd skynyrd I noticed that the guitar wouldn’t come through as much as the kicker on the drum. I found the simply going into the eq on the Sony app fixed this issue. The battery was my main worry as I have had jbl speakers in the past that die quicker then others , but the battery on the Sony XG 300 is the best I’ve had on a Bluetooth speaker so far. Good work Sony!

I love the Sony XG300 Portable Waterproof and Dustproof Bluetooth Speaker I purchased. It is durable, has great audio and excellent battery life. I love the sleek design and features it has especially the bass. I highly recommend this purchase.

Small but packs a punch, a clear quality sound with a bass punch. I love the lights you can program to your liking.

love the handle it has nice bass and lights great battery love it and its loud

WOW! Without a doubt the best portable speaker out-there! Music is so crisp and clear while also packing a punch at loud volumes. The bass boost is so great, as it does not over take the audio at any point. As a BONUS, it was on sale for a great price for what you get.

Good speaker. Bass is pretty good. Battery life is great. Syncs up very quickly to my devices. It’s a bit bigger than what it seems at first glance but the handle comes in handy. Usually use it on the job

Can't wait for summer parties, this is a perfect addition to Amazon Music on our phones! Just the right amount of bass. Love the pop-up handle for carrying! Great product!

This speaker is a great speaker for bringing to a party or for personal use or even to just watch a movie or show with. It has good base and volume. Although if bringing to a park I wouldn't really recommend it more for closed spaces than open ones.

The Sony XE200 wireless portable Bluetooth speaker is a major update to Sony’s line of compact Bluetooth speakers. It is a surprisingly powerful unit with very nice sound quality and some great bonus features. Compared to the alternatives available it is one of the best values on the market. This year Sony once again upgraded its popular line of wireless Bluetooth speakers with a family of three new units: XE200, XE300 and XG300. These have some similar features (Line Shape Diffuser, Live Sound mode, water and dust proof case, inter-speaker connectivity, lighting effects) but differ in speaker size, battery life and price. The largest (XG300) is 12.6 inches long, weighs 6.1 pounds and has two 60 x 70 mm speakers plus two tweeters. The midsize (XE300) is 9.4 inches long, weighs 2.1 pounds and has two 49 x 71 mm speakers. The smallest (XE200) is 8.2 inches long, weighs 1.7 pounds and has two 42 x 51 mm speakers. The XG300 costs about 1.75 times the XE300 and the XE200 costs about 65% the XE300’s price. There are advantages to each but this review will concentrate on the XE200. Sony is one of the largest consumer electronic companies in the world. It began in 1946 as an electronics shop but soon began producing its own products, starting with tape recorders and transistor radios in the mid-1950s. Sony built a reputation for quality and introduced many innovations in portable audio, including the Walkman in 1979, the CD disc in 1983, flash memory for audio and video in 1998 and the Blu-ray HD disc in 2000. Its consumer audio products including stereo component systems, speakers and headphones are very well-regarded for quality and features. Here is a summary of the key features: • Sony Wireless Line Shape Diffuser Speaker – Model SRS-XE200 • X-Balanced Line Shape Diffuser distributes sound evenly and across a wider area • Bluetooth Version 5.2 supports SBC/AAC/LDAC codecs, multi-point connections • Two 42 x 51 mm speakers plus two passive radiators generate deep bass notes • Frequency response: 100 – 10,000 Hz, less than 1% total harmonic distortion • Built-in microphone with echo-cancelling technology for phone conversations • Voice guidance for primary functions (Bluetooth connection, battery, phone calls) • Power, Bluetooth access, Volume, MIcrophone and Stamina (battery saver) controls on speaker • Sony Music Center app provides additional controls • Water-proof, dust-proof (IPX67) • Shock-resistant up to four feet drop on plywood • Easy-clean silicon and silicon-infused fabric surfaces • Up to 16 hours of listening time on full charge (which requires 4 hours) • 70 minutes of playing time from 10 minute quick charge • USB-C power connection port behind waterproof seal • Acceptable operating temperature range: 41 – 95 degrees F • Dimensions: 8.2 inch height, 3.7 inch depth, 3.5 inch width; Weight: 1.7 pounds • Includes USB-C cable, carrying strap, quick start guide, full instructions • One year warranty on parts and labor After extensive testing of the Sony XE200 speaker in a wide variety of applications my conclusion is that this very compact unit has a superb combination of features, power and sound quality which surpass the vast majority of its competitors in its price range. The XE200 differs in a few respects from the older XB generation of Bluetooth speakers. The most prominent change is the vertical (vs. horizontal) orientation. Sony is utilizing a new technology – a line shape diffuser with X-balanced speakers. It is slightly larger and the exterior has a fabric grill surface over the front speaker area. The speaker has a pentagonal shape which reflects the X-balanced speakers inside. The speaker is designed to be placed in a vertical position with the line shape diffuser projecting sound out in a semi-circle from the front of the speaker. You can switch the speaker from mono mode to stereo mode using the Sony Music Center app, if you want to use it in a horizontal position. But if you do so, the stereo separation isn’t that pronounced and you will lose some of the benefits of the line diffuser. The sound produced by this speaker is distortion-free and steady at both low and very high volumes. The twin speakers are larger than their predecessors and use the passive radiators to produce substantial bass power. Within the Music Center app are equalizer controls for bass, mid-range and treble enhancement. However, the default Sony settings really seemed to produce the best result for most music, especially vocals, jazz and rock. You will not get studio reference sound from this compact speaker (the lack of clarity in its highs notes confirms its stated 100 – 10,000 Hz speaker range) but it is clearly on a par with other compact portable Bluetooth speakers at its price point. What you will get is that expected Sony quality and reliability, plus nice bonus features like durability, long battery life, strong bass response and the ability to connect to other Sony speakers. The 5.2 Bluetooth connection process was effortless and solid from every device I tried (phone, tablet, laptop). The connection was very stable up to about 45 feet from my music source. One nice bonus feature is the ability to connect a chain of multiple Sony speakers which can extend your music throughout a large home or provide multiple sound sources in the same room. If you add a second XE200 you can use the Music Center to define them as left and right stereo outputs and greatly enhance the effective sound stage. Another use for the speaker is to create a high quality speaker phone by linking it to your phone – much better sound than using your phone’s tiny speakers for conversations. The built-in microphone was very effective for this purpose and has echo-cancelling capability to improve the audio quality. You can feel very comfortable taking this sturdy speaker to the beach or any outdoor activity. It has a rating of IXP67 which means that it is completely dustproof and waterproof for up to 30 minutes in three feet of water. It has also been designed to resist damage from drops of up to 4 feet. The carrying strap is a nice length for hooking it onto your bike, backpack or just looping it over your arm. I mentioned that this speaker is one of a set of three new speakers from Sony. Which one should you buy? Well, if you are willing to spend the price of the XE300, consider buying two of these XE200 speakers instead, for just slightly more. You will then have a much richer auditory environment by placing two of these speakers in your room or in your outdoor venue than you would have from a single XE300. The sound quality will be about the same but having a pair of XE200 speakers gives you many more options. The bottom line on this sturdy, waterproof speaker is that is provides excellent sound quality from a very compact body at a very affordable price. I endorse it without reservation!
