After launching new earbuds and headphones, Sony's latest products are portable Bluetooth speakers, and they are arriving just in time for summer.

Sony has announced a trio of portable Bluetooth speakers that are great for outdoor use, and right in time for summer. Sony had already launched a number of new earphones this year. From the interestingly-shaped LinkBuds to the noise-canceling WH-1000XM5 and the incredibly light LinkBuds S, all of these products have focused on the personal listening experience. Now, Sony is following them up with three new Bluetooth speakers for a shared listening experience.

Sony's new speakers don't have smart features. There is no Google Assistant or Amazon Alexa, or a proprietary voice assistant similar to what Sonos recently announced. They also can't stream from audio streaming platforms. In this sense, these are largely dumb speakers. For those that do want a Sony smart speaker, it might be worth considering picking up the Google Assistant-powered S50G instead.

The new speakers from Sony are the SRS-XG300, SRS-XE300, and the SRS-XE200, and all three have IP67 water and dust-resistant rating, making them suitable for outdoor use such as by the pool or at the beach. The SRS-XG300 is the premium model and features a different design to the other two. Available in black and gray, it has an ambient light that syncs with what is playing. It also has a retractable handle to make it easy to carry. The SRS-XE300 and SRS-XE200 speakers are shaped like a pentagonal prism and miss out on the ambient light feature. They also swap the retractable handle for a strap. The SRS-XE300 is available in black, blue, and light gray while the SRS-XE200 comes in all of the aforementioned colors in addition to a fourth orange colorway.

The €300 Sony SRS-XG300 packs two passive radiators, two front-facing tweeters, and an X-Balanced speaker unit with a non-circular diaphragm. According to Sony, using a non-circular diaphragm allows for more sound pressure, a reduction in distortion, and an overall high-quality sound. The speaker has support for Sony's Digital Sound Enhancement Engine (DSEE) and three sound modes including Mega Bass and Live Sound. It connects via Bluetooth 5.2, supports Google Fast Pair, and the battery offers up to 25 hours of usage. Charging is via a USB-C port and the SRS-XG300 supports fast charging, with a 10-minute charge providing 70 minutes of playback. Thanks to a USB-A output port, owners can quickly use it to top up their smartphone's battery. There is also an audio input port on the back of the speaker.

The SRS-XE300 and SRS-XE200 not only share a similar design but almost identical internals. While they don't pack as many speaker units as the SRS-XG300, they both have two passive radiators and a differently-shaped and smaller X-Balanced speaker unit. They also boast their own unique rod diffuser. Unlike other speakers that pass sound waves through a cone, the sound waves from both of these speakers passes through a narrow aperture, allowing them to spread farther than just the front of the speaker. The two speakers have Bluetooth 5.2, Google Fast Pair support, USB-C charging, call support, and a mic mute button.

Despite the similar features, there are some differences. The SRS-XE300 has larger speakers, a custom EQ, and support for 2.4GHz Wi-Fi like the more expensive SRS-XG300. It also has longer battery life—24 hours—compared to the SRS-XE200's 16-hour battery. Like the SRS-XG300, the other two speakers support fast charging, Party Connect (pairing multiple speakers together), and work with a companion app that's available on both Android and iOS. The Sony SRS-XE300 will sell for €200 while the SRS-XE200 will cost €150. All three new Sony speakers will be available to buy in Europe and the UK from July, with no word yet on whether any of them will make their way to the US.
