The speakers of this Sony X series stand out due to their high-quality sound, excellent battery life (16-25 hours) and the original design of the case with moisture-repellent fabric, a minimalist control panel and a large selection of colors. Unlike JBL, which attracts potential customers with pool parties, Sony is slightly blurring its positioning. For example, the X speakers can be used as speakerphones for voice calls. The built-in echo cancellation function improves speech transmission, and Multipoint support allows you to link the speaker to several devices (for example, a smartphone and a laptop), allowing you to switch between them on the fly.


Some models also have a microphone that supports Ambient Noise Sensing. With its help, the speaker records the level of ambient noise and adapts the sound to it. Sony is especially proud of the fact that Ambient Noise Sensing helps save battery power - for example, if there is a lot of noise in the environment, it can reduce the level of bass that was already not heard, resulting in an additional hour of battery life.

Over the several years of the X series' existence, Sony has released 3 fairly similar portable speakers that differ in size and power. While the compact 800-gram SRS-XE200 will easily fit into a small bag or backpack pocket, the large 3-kilogram SRS-XG300 will most likely have to be carried outdoors by car, and then carried on the shoulder. Despite the difference in size, they all can work in stereo mode, support AAC codecs with LDAC, and are equipped with USB C ports for charging. The older model SRS-XG300 also features a portable battery function.
