It's classy and it's expensive, but Sony's newest Bluetooth speaker is worth it – and you are too
The Sony XG300 was released in July 2022 and it is available in black and a light gray colorway, both of which will set you back two dollars short of $350 in the US or nine pounds over over £250 if you reside in the UK. So, it's not the flippant"Yeah, add it to the cart why don't you?" purchase you may have come here looking for.
We don't necessarily recommend holding it over a balcony to check, but the SRS-XG300's handle is sturdy enough to feel secure.
You know how folk always tell you not to leave your phone or desktop plugged in for long periods of time because it damages the battery? This is all to do with that – it stops the speaker charging beyond 90% and thus helps prolong the life of the product. Given its price tag, it's nice to know that this portable speaker should at least work to its full capacity for a long time thanks to features such as this.
Under the premium fabric hood is a two-way system comprising one 20mm tweeter and a 61 x 68mm woofer on the left and right channels. Non-circular diaphragms, you cry? Yes, and this is what Sony calls its X-Balanced Speaker Unit – a non-circular driver which realises more sound pressure to boast high-quality sound. JBL has called its non-circular techniques"racetrack-shaped" drivers before, and we like it in both instances.
Get this speaker, and you're also encouraged to download the Fiestable app, which opens the door to several"DJ Control" options such as an isolator and a flanger – which, although fun initially, most of us will forget about fairly soon after hearing their heavy vocoder-style production even once. Again, some of these features you may never use, but it's all underpinned by Sony's proprietary LDAC codec so, if you've got the files, you can actually stream in better-than-CD high-resolution audio up to 32-bit/96kHz over Bluetooth at up to 990kbps. : sound qualityDifficult to muddy or distort – even at higher volumes
