Find Out How Sony XG500 & XG300 Holds Up After 1 Year

Рет қаралды 19,710

Күн бұрын

The Sony SRS-XG500 and SRS-XG300 have been really good to me after 1 year of casual use. Grabbing one of them to use for tunes around the house and in my backyard has been nice. I've typically taked about Sony's warm sound signature being ideal for in-home use whereas JBL's more aggressive signature is better suited for outdoors and activites. On recent trips to the beach, I skipped past the JBL Charge 5 and Boombox 3 and took the XG500 and XG300 instead. I was pleasently surprised by the performances and how enjoyable the two speakers were on the trips!. I'm placing these in the runnings for the best beach speakers and pool speakers of 2023.

Android users: activate LDAC (its a MUST), lower the lower frequencies dedicated for the bass BUT activate mega bass because all standard EQ profiles have to much bass on it. It kills the details of the voice and guitars. For EDM use a bass profile so the bass goes deeper. Megabass ON but frequencys down, it just lowers the deep bass but the upper ones keep hitting. Just tested this (xg300) and an jbl extreme side by side and wow, WAY more details on sonys speaker

Great review! You made me laugh with what you said at 11:54 😆. I was into JBL too coz everytime I test and compare speakers before I buy, JBL almost always wins for me. However, this sony XG300 just hits the right spots for me(compared to JBL xtreme 3). I think it's the same with my preference to music, I don't really tend to be a fan of specific artists/singers. As long as they sound good and pleasing to my ears, I'm down!👌

It may not be just a weight consideration with the charging for the 500. Internal acoustics may be affected with the placement of the components. Also the charge time may be affected. How many watts is the brick charger compared with USB-C? I woulde imagine it could take a lot longer to charge such a large speaker battery.

@kinnectar820 8 ай бұрын

I'm skeptical that the DC charger is really pushing more than 240 watts, which is the max usbc 4.0 charge rate. It is probably just cheaper

I just got an XG500. When I turn it on, it constantly plays loud static. This may simply be an issue with just this one unit. However, trying to troubleshoot the issue leaves me with some questions. How do you prevent random strangers from connecting to the speaker? Is there a way to clear or disable connected devices? Is there a way to turn off Bluetooth entirely? I wanted to check if perhaps the speaker was picking up a signal from some other device in the area, but I wasn't able to figure out how to turn Bluetooth off.
