Sony - SRS-XG300

I like the soundcore boom handles way more actually. The Sony xg300 handle is kinda flexible and doesn’t hold as nice to me. It wobbles. And the thicker soundcore handles are more round, I would choose them everytime. Though portability is a thing, soundcore handles are fixed

Personally I'd get a Sony Srs Xg300 for $90 with a 2 year warranty off ebay. I have 2 black and 2 gray myself. They're direct from Sony so they're brand new basically. Here's a [link. ](https://www.ebay.com/itm/275543697174?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=9_cga4gkTUu&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=Emzk_dgASMy&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY)

Looks pretty good and still holds it's value today. Thanks for the review! I'll add it to my wishlist. The one I've held onto the longest is the Sony XB20. Solid bass, mids, and highs. Hate that it has the older micro USB and bass weakens at higher volume. Actually I'm looking to sell it and upgrade to something else soon. Still have my SOL Republic Deck too. I just love the shape of it. Makes it so I can slide it into my jeans pocket and carry it with me around the house. LED RGB lights are cool on it too. I had the Sony XG300 but sold it. Was too big to travel with, but nice for using outside during a game of pickleball with friends.

I have the ULT field 5, 7 and XG-300.. what you are saying is not true. This is an huge improvement over XG-300 . And for the record sound is not all about bass. The bass is pretty balanced. JBL has an bass that is deeper, but out of balance sound signature. There are people like me who also don't like that

I made the same decision with the Renewed XG300 for 79. Can see why you might consider upgrading but if I do so it will be outside the Sony line to something much more powerful like the Boombox 3, W-King X20 or Tribit Storm Blast 2 when they are on sale for 250 or less.

I purchased the Sony SRS XG300 not too long ago and it's been great thus far. It doesn't come with a cable, but you can find one online for relatively cheap. One thing to note though: there is a delay which comes with any bluebooth speaker, so I recommend you try to mix through your headphones so you can ensure the transition is a smooth one

A pair of refurbished Sony SRS-XG300's from eBay. Very affordable, rated 25 hour battery, big and loud. Choose a seller with a return policy and test them thoroughly.

Bose Soundlink Max has good bass. Or look for Sony Ultfield 7 on discounts. Or go for Sony XG-500 or its XG-300. They are good with bass and these speakers sound more open and detailed. JBL signature sound is too much narrow and doesn’t have details like other brands tho it has bass. And JBL equaliser is a hassle to use.

I have the Sony SRS-XB43. Been using it for a few years and I love it. I don't think they sell it anymore though. I believe it was replaced by the SRS-XG300 which I have heard is also very good. It's also 50% off right now.

Marshall Emberton III or the new Sony ULT Field 3. The Sony has good bass and sounds great. It's light and would be easy to carry. It's also waterproof. It sounds almost as good as my Sony XG300 in a much smaller and lighter package. The Marshall is smaller and has great sound and very good bass as well. Under 2lbs.

i would go for like a sony bt speaker like the SRS-XG300 they have great sound and most of them have a 3.5mm jack. They also have a long lasting battery. and it is around your budget. here the sony mentioned costs 200 euro or 165 GBP

I picked up the Stormbox Lava (and Sony XG300) a couple of weeks back and reviewed both thoroughly. REVIEW: [https://www.reddit.com/r/Bluetooth\_Speakers/comments/1jpw9ex/sony\_xg300\_versus\_tribit\_stormbox\_lava\_love\_them/](https://www.reddit.com/r/Bluetooth_Speakers/comments/1jpw9ex/sony_xg300_versus_tribit_stormbox_lava_love_them/) TL;DR: For $100, the Lava is a phenomenal value. I'm keeping it, even though my ecosystem is primarily WiFi and Apple TV/Sonos hybrid. I love my paired Sonos Move 2s, BTW, and have had few issues with the Sonos App.

OK, we have your budget. That's a good start. What's your use case? Where do you listen? What types of music? How portable do you want the speaker? How big is TOO big? I own several Tribit speakers (a pair of Stormbox Micro 2s and a new Lava), as well as Bose (a Smart Speaker and a pair of Flex 2s). I've owned JBLs in the past (Charge 5, Charge 5 WiFi, Flips 2-4) and have nothing against them, but my use case precluded keeping any of the JBLs. I have the paired Micro 2s attached to my sailboat's lifelines in the cockpit for good stereo sound, and down below in the cabins I switch out my pair of Bose Flex 2s with Sony XG300s depending on my mood. If I need loud, it's the Sony's. If I need detail and am playing "quieter" tunes, it's the Flex 2s. On the dock when I'm gardening, washing boats, or entertaining, I pull out the Tribit Lava...or sometimes grab my pair of Sonos Move 2s if I have a group of more than 20 people on the back deck or foredeck (Sea Ranger 52 Trawler) so we can cover both areas.

Since I just picked up a pair of Amazon Renewed XG300s for $79/each, is the ULT Field 5 4x better than the XG300? I just listened to a bunch of different genres through them paired (and EQd to my liking), including 80s pop, New Wave, Punk, Straight Ahead Jazz, Bebop, Classic Rock, and a few classical pieces, and I am STILL impressed with their sound. Plus, I really love the built-in, recessed handles.

*(Looks around for UBoom X fans...)* Gotta' say, I'm really happy with the last set of Sony speakers I bought (XG300s on sale, $79/each) as a pair, and think Sony doesn't get enough love here. Regardless... congrats on the speaker purchase, and enjoy!

I have all three (pair of XG300s and Flex 2s), and just bought the Harman Kardon Go + Play 3. I'm astonished at how well the HK plays music...after futzing around with the EQ (I went with treble boost). The other two speakers simply can't compete with the HK for volume, clarity, and detail...not to mention superb bass. But the HK and Sony speakers are not lightweights. The HK is not designed to travel, and the XG300 is still a pretty big speaker. While the Flex 2s travels easily, it doesn't have the "oomph" of the much larger speakers. That will always be a tradeoff.

Sony xg300 good battery life and battery caremode, great built quality and nice design. Speakerphone and a mbient light on top. Warm sound with rich voices. Downside: Highs are a bit underrepresented in default EQ. You can adjust it in the app, though

The current follow up would be the sony ult 1. It is a little smaller, can stand easily verticallly and horizontally and now features a bass button. With that turned on, it has more and deeper bass, it also has more prominent highs, giving it a crisper v-shaped sound signature, while the xb23 has a warmer, more soft and natural sound. If you want an upgrade in sound and bass without loosing the mellow warmness in sound, you might also look at the sony xg300. This one much heavier, though. It also has some extra features like lights, extractable handle and aux in. If you are looking at competitors from other brands, there are bose flex 2, jbl charge 5 and soundcore x300 or motion + to consider. Btw, all the mentioned sony speakers are linkable, so you could link them with your old xb23 (but tws stereo is only possible with 2 of the same model).

Sony xg300, its clearly better than ult 1 and charge 5 and still under 200€. Also more features. But: its also bigger and heavier. So if you want best size/sound ration, the charge 5 or bose flex 2 are excellent.

Sony xg300 great for movies. You neef to have sth with low latency (or aux in and cable)

Dont know the HK. The XG300 has deeper bass, sounds fuller, has stereo , a wider soundstage, better details, and can play louder. So for almost the same price, you get much more with the Sony. But the Sony is quite chunky and heavy. The Bose is super small and light und easy to take with you. Also it is a bit better in sound/size ratio. So if portability is your main concern, go with the flex. If power, bass and stereo is more important to you, take the Sony.
