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!

This Bluetooth speaker is highly impressive, it’s easy to carry wherever you want, the sound was amazing it’s a clear sound and really love the bass. The battery life was long 25 hr and I also love the gray color it gives me chill vibes. Highly recommend this!!

Fantastic speaker, very portable and very loud! Great sound and very aesthetically pleasing

Very easy to set up and use. Sounds great! I would recommend to my friends.

Easy to use. Sounds great. I’m so glad we got it. Thank you

This Bluetooth speaker sounds great! It is just the right size and yet is very portable. It was priced way lower than other speakers of the same size and sound quality. I'm using it in combination with a Bluetooth turntable and it was super easy to connect.

TLDR; IP67 dustproof and waterproof, but if it falls in the pool, get it out! 25 hours life on a single charge using USB-C 5V 3A charger (included) and can charge your own devices with equipped USB-A port. EQ settings can only be adjusted in the Music Center app. Up to two simultaneous Bluetooth connections supported. Can be grouped with other speakers. Conference calls are aided by Echo Canceling technology, aiding in simultaneous talking, promoting more natural conversations. Customizable LED rings on each woofer sync to the beat of the music. Can get very loud without much distortion, yet remains very crisp and clear, which impressed me very much. Bass is tight and punchy, but don’t expect rumbling at the lower frequencies. Setting up the XG300 is very simple on both Android and iOS, and it’s much like any other Bluetooth device pairing done if you’re familiar with the process. It’s even easier on Android as the OS will immediately present you with a connection window, much like the setup found on Apple for its wireless earbuds. Charge time from empty to full is about 5 hours, and you can choose to have the unit charge to “nearly” full to extend the longevity of the battery (done in the Music Center App). When the unit is on, a simple press on the Bluetooth button will begin the pairing process, and you can do this twice. The XG300 supports Bluetooth version 5.2. Controls are very straightforward, with the exception of the missing next/previous track buttons as these two buttons are disguised under the play/pause/answer button. A double press of this button moves on to the next track, and a triple press will move you back to the beginning/previous track, which should be familiar behavior for you. Of course, a single press of this button will play/pause/answer. So, what’s left is the volume up, volume down, Mega Bass, Bluetooth pairing and power buttons. They are tactile, black rubber buttons with white paint, but I fear that overtime the white paint will wear off. Ease of portability is a big selling point of the XG30 with its built-in carrying handle, which I found very welcoming. It’s just one less thing to worry about when transporting this 6 pound hunk of hardware. On the flip side, it would have been nice to be able to attach a shoulder strap that some other brands offer as it frees up one hand when you’re on the move. The built-in handle does keep the speaker looking sleek, but only time will tell how long the rubber handle holds up. Seems sturdy, though. As I mentioned above, two simultaneous Bluetooth connections can be made to the XG300, but if you’ve got an old music device that you’d like to use, there is an available 3.5mm audio port in the back. So bring out your Walkmans and Discmans and rock out! Also worth noting is the two LED rings on either side of the XG300. Honestly, I’ve always found this kind of gimmicky, especially if you’re using this during the daytime. You do have the ability to not only change its flashing style, but also turn them off completely. It’s at night where they do shine, and I do like how they’re not in-your-face like some other brands. They’re subtle, but still very cool to watch move with the rhythm of the beat. Then there is sound quality, which is always a subjective topic with all things sound related. I’ve been cursed with hearing loss from the 90’s trend of two 12” subwoofers that shook the earth and tweeters that emit sounds that even your dog can’t hear. Then with today's technology, I’ve been blessed with the most state-of-the-art hearing aids that give me the ability to hear what is equivalent, if not better, than 20/20 vision. That being said, the XG300 sounds great overall with its strengths across a majority of the frequency band, with the only exception at the lower end. By design, the XG300 is a sealed system, which produces the most clean, punchiest bass to complement the rest of the mid/upper frequencies, but if you’re a basshead, it’s not coming from this, even with Mega Bass on. Casting that aside, the XG300 does not disappoint, and its rich sound can be heard for several meters. Think beach party, pool party, at the park or even in a bike basket taking a cruise. What’s so great is that at even much louder volumes, music is not distorted. I always go to Dr. Dre’s 2001 Instrumental to get a gauge of how well all frequencies play nice with each other, and the XG300 finds ways to mitigate that distortion so you can still hear the rest of the track. As a matter of fact, Sony promotes their ClearAudio+ setting in the Music Center App, which is supposed to be Sony’s preferred EQ, and it really emphasizes those mids/highs. If it’s not for you, you can always change it up in the Custom EQ. I like the ClearAudio+ setting and intend not to change it anytime soon. Lastly, there is the price. At MSRP, there are a lot of contenders fighting for your party time. If low, loud bass is what you’re looking for, you may not be happy with this speaker and there are other offerings that can provide this. If you do care for Sony's high quality sound, a 25 hour battery life and a body that will withstand the elements, the XG300 is a perfect choice. The Sony XG300 Portable Bluetooth Speaker comes with a 1-year Limited Warranty.

On the box you have this statement: Live Life Loud. That is exactly what you get with the Sony XG300 Portable X-Series Bluetooth Speaker. I was intrigued at the shape of this speaker, the durability it presented, and most of all, the sound quality. After a week of heavy varied usages, here is my review: This is a very fun addition to our life. We are busy with summer activities, work, and leisure time and sometimes we needed to take a break from headphones. Enter the Song XG-300. We were really impressed at the sound quality coming from this. It was such an enjoyable experience having this play our favorite songs, listening to what came up next. This speaker is very portable but still packs a powerful sound. Now the MEGA BASS is another fun part to this speaker, a very nostalgic addition as it reminded me of my old Walkman and Sony CD Player from the 90’s. This was a very welcomed part of the listening experience that again, was reminiscent of having that deep and punchy sound. Included in this fun experience are the Ambient Illumination. The sides have a very slim light that syncs with the beats of your songs, like a gaming computer keyboard. This can be controlled through the Sony Music App as well. Equally impressive is the 25 hour battery life when fully charged. With the multiple usages of playing music and zoom calls, this has lasted all week. Again, the build quality is impressive when taking to the beach, poolside, zoom meetings, and work outs. Carrying it with us (retractable handle is great), this speaker does a lot. Speaking about Zoom, this has what is called Echo Cancelling. What this does is allows two people to speak at the same time without either one cancelling the other. You can also connect two different devices at the same time through the Bluetooth. Finally, the Sony Music Center app and the Fiestable app. These enhanced our music listening experience. Through the app you can change the DJ experience through fun adjustable sound qualities: orator, Flanger and CUstom EQ. The orator and Flanger is basically a grid where you can touch and the sound changes. I am still trying to figure this out, but the Custom EQ and the DJ Off have been the only things I have really paid attention to. When playing your music, your playlist from the Apple Music App populates and then you can enjoy your favorite songs. I even tried listening to Plays such as Hamilton and the sound was crisp and loud. On the back of the speaker is a little compartment that offers you multiple ways of plugging it in via charging cables, audio cables, and light changes. There is a USB-A, USB-C and 3.5mm jack there for connections. Overall, this has been such a joy to use and listen with. It really gives me that 90’s vibe and really enjoyable time.

Sounds great and loud, bass is tubular, very portable, battery life is much better than my last speaker, and this looks very clean

I wanted a portable speaker that had more power than the smaller ones we continued to have problems with not enough sound, and the loss of bluetooth connectivity. This Sony speaker has been amazing - we have had no issues connecting to a variety of sources), it produces serious volume with excellent sound! It is very portable and with the places we roll, waterproof and dustproof are key! I am also enjoying the long battery life...

This speaker is great! The sound is clear and has good bass. The battery lasts a long time, and it’s easy to carry around. The Bluetooth works well without any problems. I recommend it!

speaker is great, has great sound, music is crisp & clear, with nice bass, also is very loud and light easy to carry around and battery actually last longer than what is stated in manual.

The overall size and weight is very manageable. The sound quality surprised me at first being very very good. It is very simple to navigate all the feature andbthe battery life is very good. I intend on buying another one to chain together with this one for our back yard gatherings.

The Sony XG300 Portable Bluetooth Speaker in Light Gray is a great speaker for anyone who needs a tough, good-sounding audio device. It's waterproof and dustproof, so you can use it anywhere, from your living room to the beach. You can easily play music from your phone or other devices because it connects with Bluetooth. The sound is really good, with clear high notes, strong bass, and loud, clear music even when you're outside. It's also easy to carry around because of its light and simple design. In short, the Sony XG300 is an excellent choice for people who love music and want a speaker that's easy to use, sounds great, and can go anywhere.

Pros: Easy to use Cool Lighting Effects Sound Level (Loudness) is mid tier Can pair with a 2nd speaker for stereo Can also pair with multiple 3rd party speakers for "party mode" Can charge a phone while listening. (All these features make it great for the beach!) Cons: 2nd device pairing fails sometimes speakers are not loud enough for large outdoor spaces. (Perfect for indoors though if you want it loud) no way to control your songs from the device itself.

Pretty dang good speaker. Of all of the many portable speakers that I have owned, I would say the XG300 is my favorite. The sound quality is awesome and despite it's somewhat big size, it is actually pretty portable. The connectivity is great too and of course this speaker can get LOUD. I recommend this speaker to a lot of people.

This is a very powerful speaker it is waterproof dustproof….. has a great sound and is very loud. I love it. We’ll take it outside in the house wherever we go and the music. As always always can depend on Sony
