Sony - SRS-XG300

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)

Love my Ult 1. Made me buy an Ult 7, 2 xg300, and 2 Xe300. The XE300 had a recent firmware update and sound better for sure.

I have both? Party mode kinda sucks, it kills the bass and just makes it loud. I'd rather have two in normal mode, they'll sound way better. I have 2 Sony XG300s and a field one I use. Also have 2 UE Megaboom 3s and a Hyperboom. I'd definitely go TWS or get a hyperboom/Ult Field 7 or something similar.

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.

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.

Sony XRS XG300. You can setup two of them as a wireless  stereo pair. To your phone or the Google hub they will appear as a single Bluetooth device, but since you put them in different corners of your room, the sound is spectacularly better. I totally love them, I have two pairs of the xg300 and one pair of the xg500 at home.

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

Epicboom is better obviously, but a bit expensive. Sony xg300 could be an option at half the price of the epicboom (similar to megaboom), which is in soddn quality closer to epicboom. And its durable, its also salt water resitant, and has good batter life and a battery care mode. Another option is the JBL xtreme 4, which is also expensive, but lighter than epicboom and xg300 and it has a changeable battery.

Ive heard the xe300 sounds better outdoors than indoors. Whatsoever, getting a 2nd xb33 would be better thing, cause you can get stereo, which improves the sound experience a lot (for concentrated listening at least) . Have you you looked for 2nd hand units? If thats not an option i would rather pay a little more to get a xg300, which is superior in many respects to the xe300 . Its like the bigger version of the xb33 with deeper bass and better details. Its also heavier, though. 2 xb100 are also nice and super portable, but will not have neither volume nor the deepness of bass and natural sound of the xb33 or xg300.

UPDATE: I'm having some people over tonight, so I decided to go to the Sony store and have a listen to all options available to see if I could make a decision. I can say right off the bat that the XB100s were an immediate no-go. I only tested one and there's no way... I've watched and read reviews comparing it to the JBL Clip, and I can disprove that entirely: my wife has a JBL Clip and it packs a surprising punch for the size, even in terms of bass; plus it gets much louder and the sound quality is overall better. I would never compare them both. I might have considered two paired JBL Clips, but not the XB100s after listening to them, tbh. Don't see why they're being praised so much. I even tried putting it in a corner to see if I could get a "bigger" sound, but it was DOA with the XB100s. I tested the XG300 and, of course, it's very nice. Very powerful. Perhaps a bit over the top for my personal use, as I'm looking for something that allows me to mainly play mellow jazz in the background as people chat in my apartment. Nonetheless, had my budget allowed me to spend twice what I was thinking of spending, I might have gone for the XG300. Then again, if I were to spend on an XG300, I might've gone for another —albeit price-gouged— XB33. Maybe even an XB43... I really love the XBs that much! However, in the end I pulled the trigger on the XG300. I found that it paired well with my XB33 (I took mine to the store to make sure it was fully compatible), and that when you take a couple of steps away from the XG300 (and lay it on its side, like the XB33) you get a nice, non-narrow (notice I'm not saying wide 😁) sound. Plus, after taking it home and updating the firmware, I find that it works and sounds much better. It even plays well with the Extra-Bass and Live settings that the grouping brings on-board from my XB33, and it seems to change the sound of the XE300 quite noticeably depending on what you select. In terms of connection, I can confirm they play perfectly well. After updating the XE300s firmware, I've had no syncing issues. (Keep in mind the older speaker also needs to update to the latest firmware available for it.) So, for what it's worth, I'm happy with the pairing. Also for what it's worth, I generally listen to downtempo, acid-jazz, jazz and some 90s rock, alt-rock, and limited pop, if that tells you anything about the sound I prefer.

Thanks for your answer! I've checked out the XG300, which really sounds nice and has good reviews, but unfortunately it's twice the price of the XE300 here. It would cost me around the same price of the XG300 to buy the XB33 from, say, the US on eBay and have it shipped. Though I'm a bit reticent of doing that because there's no "official" seller. Plus, the shipping is almost as much as the speaker... Which seems absurd. I've looked at second hand XB33s here. There's not many, and what I can find seems pretty sketchy. Plus, they're asking for much too close to what its price was brand new before it was discontinued and Sony made it disappear from everywhere. I agree that 2 XB100s are probably not up to the quality I'm looking for. I suspect that much. I seems in the end going with the XE300 and pairing it with my XB33 will be the "best" available option for me at the moment. (Considering my luck, Sony comes out with a new and way better gen a week after!)
