SRS-XG300

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 have a Sony ult 7, JBL bb3, Sony xv900, soundcore rave3s, Sony xg500 Sony xg300 Sony ult 5 Both ult1 for stereo  Soundcore boom 2 PRO (haters on that) Also boom3i  This motion x600 Drops bass low easily to 40 hz  My sonys drop to 20hz And JBL hits 35hz when plugged in  The x600 is super clean HIFI LIKE MY BIG SONY XV900 and SOUNDCORE IS NOT LACKING BASS. Seriously hifi sound with bass Real bass though  If the track doesn't have it It's not there  Great speaker  Seriously 💯 

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

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.

*(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!

LOL! Yeah man, you're such a Bose FanBoi! I've got the GP+3, and think it's insanely great. Picked it up on sale for around $150. I'm entirely impressed by this speaker, especially at that price point. I have the Sony XG300s (paired), and think they sound vastly better than the XE300, which I had for a couple of days before returning it. My "shower speaker" is a Bose Portable Smart Speaker (*yeah, I'm the real FanBoi here*) that's on a shelf out of the direct shower spray. It sounds superb, even though I had to minus-out a bit of bass because it is OOB pretty bass-forward.

Build quality is typical Sony…very, very good. Sound quality…I use custom tuning/EQ instead of presets, but mostly because of high-frequency hearing loss from growing up with a fighter pilot father, and then me flying during Gulf 1/Desert Shield. I need treble boosted way more than bass.

Go big. The Boombox 3 is very capable, but the other suggestions here may be useful as well. Personally, I have paired Sony XG300s for my sailboat, and a pair of Brane Xs for dock parties. I live here in the Marina, so we go loud when we want.

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

2 sony xg300 will work great, if you are ok with the bigger size weight compared to flip. Great stereo function, will remember and good range and stable.

i think stereo would be best for movies. so 2 Sony XG300 would be a good choice, they have low latency and can stand upright, should be used/refurbished around 100 each.

Sony XG300 works great in stereo pairing, with good stable connection and range and low latency. Sound profile is very warm and full/rich sounding, almost a bit rusty, and not the cleanest with a bit weak highs. So you should decide if you like that. Live sound mode is more lively though.

sony xb43, XG300, xv500, Ult 5/7 etc i didnt ever notice any white noise on any sony speaker. my tribit xsound go also doesnt have noticeable white noise and it has aux in. which ones did you try?

Be aware that not every portable speaker is qualified for pc use. Latnecy and other issues that you havent thought of can appear. Sony xg300 works well as a pc speaker, you can connect it via cable, but bt is also an option for pc use, as it has low bt latency. Pebbles could also be an cheap otion for pc, pr or 3 version also has bt, but you dont have that portability for the kitchen then. So it would go with the xg300 as an all in one solution.
