Bluetooth portable speakers have entered all of our homes without ever making us feel like it. Some of us have even entrusted the sound system of our desktop computer and television to them.
In terms of Bluetooth speakers, which have various models starting from the size of a chocolate to our height, Sony is also with very ambitious models. The SRS-XG300 was also our guest this month as a smaller and more portable model of the SRS-XG500.
The SRS-XG300 is a camera that will immediately win your liking with its design. Don’t let the fabric cover fool you, the product comes with IP67 standard. This means that even if it’s completely buried in the ground or stays under a meter of water for 30 minutes (as long as you close the waterproof cover that protects the sensitive ports behind it), you don’t have to worry. You can take the 3kg speaker to a poolside party or a rally stage where you’re very likely to be under the dust without worry. Moreover, since it can last up to 25 hours on a single charge, it is very possible that it can take not one, but two days.
Another factor that increases the portability of the product is the carrying handle that you can hide when you are not using it. The double foot in its six parts will immediately attract your attention, it fits well on the floor and reminds you of one more thing. Yes, the XG-300 has a design that requires the passive radiators not to be turned off, so it is not suitable for use vertically. It is also a single-sided model due to a pair of rectangular (X-Balanced) units on the front and a pair of high-pitched speakers. So, he needs to have his face facing you. This is good for not disturbing other people on the beach or picnic, but if you plan to circle around and belly up, it’s a good idea to keep this in mind.
Sony says that this rectangular-shaped sound unit called X-Balanced reduces vibration and distortion compared to the classic square-shaped models, while at the same time positively increasing the sound pressure. The camera is able to keep vibration under control, even at high volumes, and has a very satisfying bass sound when MEGA BASS (and with it ClearAudio+) is active. At the same time, the mids are very balanced, but the vocals can sometimes take a back seat under the heavy bass load of the song.
I don’t think you can take this set on your shoulders and listen to BB King or Big Joe Williams on the beach. The XG300 is optimized for the audience who might want to acquire it, so I think that’s fine.
The sound stage is very good and the stereo distribution is well optimized. You can easily distinguish Janick Gers from one speaker and Dave Murray from another. Again, of course, provided you remember that the scene of the product is also directed forward.
The product, which does not have a 2.4Ghz connection option, comes with Bluetooth 5.2 and can connect to multiple devices at the same time. You can use Fast Pair on Android. The connection is incredibly fast and extremely smooth. It’s also suitable for use in meetings thanks to the built-in microphone and can Party Connect with compatible devices (up to 100). So you can build an army of compatible speakers in your home.
Information about all settings and charging status can also be found in the Sony Music Center app. This app also allows you to change the RGB settings of the product to suit the environment (such as party, movie or meeting). It is also possible to create playlists for yourself with Fiestable mode through the application.
We praised the battery strength of the SRS-XG300, so let’s move on. It can offer 70 minutes of uninterrupted music enjoyment even with a 10-minute charge, and extends the life of your battery with its maintenance mode and offers up to 25 hours of uninterrupted music enjoyment in total. By optimizing settings such as RGB, it is very possible to achieve this time.
After all, Sony has designed a companion that we would all want in our homes and rooms. We liked it very much, we enjoyed using it very much. Of course, the price is high for so many pleasures. At the time of writing, it was starting at 5450 TL. Nevertheless, it is a product that will make you happy, we can easily say that.
