[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this product and I really like it it's loud and connects to your phone and it has a Bluetooth that you can also talk through the speaker when someone calls you. It's so cool you can also take your speaker with you places it's not big there's also an app on your phone you can download to mess with the bass,treble all that stuff which is so cool.
I would recommend this to a friend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My bathroom has a rather loud vent. I always wanted a Bluetooth speaker for it and able to listen to music when I am showering. This Sony speaker works great and met my request. The sound is crispy clear and bigger than its size. I’m not only using it in the bathroom. I also take it with me to my backyard when I am gardening. It takes one charge and works for long hours. On occasion I also use it at house party, it’s great for background music.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Good sound on the go…

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] There are a lot of Bluetooth speakers out there to choose from. Different sound qualities, sizes, battery life, etc. The Sony XE300 is a great overall performer with a strong sound. It checks all the boxes for mids and lows from a speaker the size of a 9.5” meatball sub. Great sound from any location around the speaker.
The high notes could be crisper. High frequencies are notorious for needing you to be in line with the tweeter otherwise they fall off quickly. This speaker does not give you the highest frequencies but that makes the sound more consistent regardless of the direction the speaker is facing. (My wife has a smaller speaker that gives her better high notes but the rest of the range can’t compete with the Sony XE300.)
The Sony app allows you to check things like battery life, connect to services and tweak the bass, middle and treble. I like the leaving my default setting on the ClearAudio+ setting Sony provides
The Bluetooth passed my needs. I left the speaker playing in the basement and took my phone upstairs to the kitchen without any distortion or loss of signal. I was also able to control the volume and could hear the music as a respectable volume.
The speaker can stay plugged in but the battery life is good, it will last a day-night at the beach. Heavy bass, loud volumes and high temps lessen the battery life but your phone will run out of juice way before this thing wears down. The rubberized coating around the body feels nice and grips surfaces to help hold the speaker in place. The ends are a matt-finish hard plastic.
I listened to many types of music (pop, Indie 90’s, Rock 80’s, Country, Jazz and more) and this speaker handles them well. Again, the speaker was strong in the mids and lows providing music at the volume that enhanced the mood. The bass isn’t the lowest but it sounds rich and full given its size.
The speaker can receive phone calls. My kids get a kick out of talking to me through the speaker because it doesn’t look like a phone. The mic and speaker performed well for both sides of the phone call. It has echo cancelling and does not sound like a speakerphone. The Bluetooth adds a factional second of delay to the call. It is not noticeable if you can’t hear both sides of the phone call (like when I was testing the quality form the other room.)
I take this speaker with me when I travel. I use it to listen to music or stream movies because this speaker is better than anything they provide in a hotel room. I can even take them in wet areas like the bathroom or the pool. IP67 means it could be immersed up to a meter for up to 30 min and is shock resistant.
This is a fantastic speaker for an active person, wanting good sound, on the go.
(I think you can pair a huge number of these together but I did not verify this)
I would recommend this to a friend!

So amazing!

Posted by: Trev123
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love this Bluetooth speaker! It Packs the biggest punch for such a small device. It’s a little bigger than some of the smaller ones but you’ll understand why when you turn it on. The sound quality is incredible and it can probably be all you need for your next party. Love it better than my little beats pill which I also love and appreciate for what it is. There’s no comparison. It just depends on what you’re looking for.
I would recommend this to a friend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had been looking to upgrade our Bluetooth speaker for a while now. I wanted something with a good bump and this is it! The sound quality is great and the bass really hits. I love the app for it as well, I can control all the sound setting easily from my phone. I’m so glad I have this now! I’m a huge music lover and this makes my listening experience so much better!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This speaker is easy to use and has great sound quality. It’s easy to charge and connects easily to Bluetooth.
The buttons are simple and very sensitive. One touch on, one touch off etc.
Its sturdy and does not wobble. The shape and weight makes it unique. You can put it on its side or on its end. A simple bump will not send this flying to the ground.
This works great anywhere and we love it!
