    I am definitely going to get the XG300. I really like the integrated handle, the subtle lights (I don't need my speakers to look like a Christmas tree 🎄), the overall design, and the features (can be used as a charging bank and has a mic for phone calls). And based on several videos I've watched it sounds pretty good too.

      . . . less money for similar output
      sound qualities ? ? ? Hmmm ? ? ?

      @@reubennichols644 it's a mix of various things. Could I buy a speaker for less money with the same sound quality? Yes. You are right. But then that applies to most things does it not? The person that buys a Mercedes or a BMW could just as well buy a Volkswagen and it would get them where they need to go no problem. There's also something called brand equity and pedigree. I've seen other speakers that cost less but some look like toys design wise, or they are brand names I have never even heard of. The XG300 is the only one that I see has this entire package as well as brand pedigree and equity.

    Own both and agree with this review. Xb43 has stronger passive radiators than the xg300. I WANT to like the 300 better because of its appearance but unless I am going outside, I reach for the xb43 everytime.

    Hello! I hope your good I’m one of your CZcams subs and I love all your informative content. I wanted to ask you what portable Bluetooth speaker would yo recommend me for Djing outdoors? I’ve been seeing that jbl boombox 2 and partybox 100 but I’ve heard boom box two does not sound well with aux cable (I would use a rca to 3.5 cable for that jack input in most Bluetooth speakers). I’m not sure about what to get or what would be the best option. I would appreciate your response.
    Love from the DR🇩🇴

    Regarding the USB-C port on the XE-200/300 and XG-300. You can actually pass audio through it. I just installed display units of these speakers, and they came with this USB-C cable that splits into USB-A and an 3.5mm Jack. I tried the cable with a retail model, and it works to pass through audio from my phone (Xperia) to the speaker.

    • @hillybobs56

      I was led to believe this was for charging only. I will have to try it on my XG300.

    • @Rainoffire
      @Rainoffire Před rokem +1

      @@hillybobs56 To make it work with a retail model, you will have to set it into a sort of demo mode. The XG300 will turn on whenever it detects power from the USB-C, and will also receive audio through it. It can't be turned off when power is coming through the port. Demo for the XG300 seems to only change the use of the USB-C port, while all other function appear to be unchanged, though I have not tested everything.
      Because of this mode, I found a new use case for Sony Speakers. I can have them installed into my car and they will power on and off with ignition. I have an XG300 dedicated as a sub for my truck this way.

      @@Rainoffire hi 👋,many thanks for the info but how could we turn the demo mode on and off because there aren't any sort of documentation in Sony's website and in any other sources I've searched ? I've tried to press the play button longer but that just played the pre-installed song samples as demo and not as a demo mode.Many thanks in advance for your answer 👍

    • @Rainoffire
      @Rainoffire Před 10 měsíci +1

      @@demirewrim Info about the demo mode is given to staff, so it isn't well known. First, be sure the device is connected to a power source via usb C. Now press volume + (5x), play/pause (5x), volume - (5x) under 10 secs. If performed correctly, all the lights will flash, and your device is now in demo mode. The unit will now turn on and off depending if it is receiving power or not.
      Simple follow the sequence again to return to normal.

    If you are going to use LDAC for your Bluetooth connection then you need to have your music in FLAC or WAV or ALAC or something similar. LDAC plays up to 990mb/sec but if you don't have tracks at that bitrate or higher then it won't have any benefit over the regular Bluetooth. If you just use a streaming service or mp3s you won't have good sounding music.

    • @mistapk7

      Means best to be heard songs in LDAC, FLAC, WAV, ALAC formats? For Normal mp3s and streaming music format the speaker won’t play at its best?

    • @hillybobs56
      @hillybobs56 Před rokem +1

      @@mistapk7 mp3s are compressed music and as a result lose quality. 24 bit FLAC is almost as good as the studio recording. LDAC will play up to 990kbits/sec whereas ordinary Bluetooth is just 320. Playback using an audio cable will play the file at it's best often up to 6000 kbits/sec.

      no its not the XB 33/43 sounds way better than XE200/300 they are so muffled Sounds like under water... Sony just make misstakes when release BT speakers. They can do it easy better :(( really a disappointment what sony release there. Sony speakers last 2 Released no power at maximal Loudnes. but xb 33 and 43 sounded not too bad,
      but the maximum volume is just too weak. XB 43 you can get for 100 Euros... or if you want more buy the tribit stormbox blast
