I wanted a Bluetooth speaker so I went to Best buy and saw the Sony xe300 was on sale for $120 down from $200. I didn't really think to do much research until now so my question is are there better options than this in the $130 price range? It's almost entirely for home use. Occasionally music, sometimes listening to YouTube in the shower (speaker on the sink counter) since my phone even at max volume is a little hard to understand over the shower sound. If my music preference matters I'd say indie, folk/folk country, and hip hop. Thanks for any recommendations!

I have a onyx studio 4 and a go and play, just curious to see if these two can connect to each other. I tried a few different ways so far and nothing. Just curious to see if these two are compatible with each other. Thanks!

I have not looked at Bluetooth speakers in quite a while. I have a UE Roll that I have been very happy with and still use plugged in permanently in the garage, as the battery doesn’t hold a charge anymore. When I bought that I wanted a UE Wonderboom but got a really good deal on the roll. I never hear anyone talking about UE anymore on this sub are they any good? I believe the price has gone up since I was last looking as well. I’d say the cost of the wonderboom is at the top of my price range. I’m looking for something around wonderboom size, good sound, battery that can last 8-12hrs at around 70% volume. The price of some of the soundcore options has been appealing, (motion 300, select 4 go) because I could get 2 of these for stereo sound for similar cost, for home use but I’d like it to preform well on its own aswell for on the go. Motion 300 might be too big for my liking but I’m considering it cause the price. A little weather resistance would be a welcome feature because I work outdoors, spend a lot of time outdoors and at the lake. I have looked at the JBL options (go4 and clip5) I prefer the form factor of the go4 but think maybe the battery life might leave something to be desired. Any advice or recommendations would be greatly appreciate.

I’m aware an original 360 and original controller have no Bluetooth capabilities.

Question is - if I purchase a smart tv that has Bluetooth already within it, is it as simple as connecting a Bluetooth headset to the tv to get 360 game sound to come through the headset? Does the sound come from the tv itself or does it have to do with the hdmi port the 360 is plugged into?

I’m sure I could purchase a Bluetooth transmitter or something like that, but it seems like a bit of a pain in the rear.

Thank you.

Is there anyone else in Europe who ordered and did not receive a speaker?
I ordered the first day.

I’m looking for a Bluetooth speaker that can basically be used in a variety of contexts as a gift for someone.

Basically I want the speakers to be small and portable like most Bluetooth speakers but I want them to be able to be powered by a usb c cable and have audio over usb c and/or 3.5mm audio jack.

The context is basically the person I’m buying this for has no speakers but recently got a record player and has a desktop.

I want them to be able to easily connect to their desktop and use it on their PC to game or watch movies.

When they want to play songs on their record player they can play it via Bluetooth in any room (the player can connect via Bluetooth).

And they could also take it to the park or camping if they need to.

Basically they should be able to move it around a lot but not have to deal with too many wires. I know a normal BT speaker can be connected via 3.5mm but then you also have to charge it and keeping a battery constantly charged is usually not great for a battery. Does anything like this exist?

I just picked up one of these second-hand, paired it with my Pixel 8, and can play music. It's a bit bass-heavy so I wanna tweak the config and apparently that can be done via thee Hosue of Marley app for Android.

Can't find any info in the manual or online about the issue I'm seeing with the app though.

Downloaded and installed the app on my Pixel 8, I go through the app setup, get to Available Devices, I put the speaker into parining mode and it shows me all the Bluetooth devices available on my phone (car, headphones etc) . I tap on the any other device, the app says "House of Marley devices only". OK, so I tap on the Get Together Mini, a Continue button appears, another Continue button appears and I get "please tap on device to connect".

Which device? The phone? The speaker? Anyone else seen this issue and can get around it?

TIA

hi guys!

I sold my sound system, because it took up a lot of spaces and I do not really use that and I decided I swap my old JBL go to a better speaker so I can watch movies and listen to music if I want to. I mostly used my jbl for garden parties. I would like to buy a blutooth speaker which can fill up an open space and has a nice sound but not cost a bunch of money.

We have the OG Bose sound dock and it’s on its last legs. Use it as a kitchen/living room speaker and for camping.

Going to use points to replace and the options are Bose Flex, Beats Pill, JBL Flip6 and Sonos Roam 2. We were happy with the Bose sound and have friends with JBL’s. Are these things all pretty close at this level?

so i only listened to the aura 3 and the bass blew my mind .. the sound was so good but i noticed when i turn the volume up the bass still great but the song's words weren't that clear ..

so my question now shall i go for the aura studio 4 or the go play 3 or just buy the aura studio 3 because it still is very impressive for me

I want to add some speaker or soundbar anything to my room as I have a projector in my room and I watch a lot of movies and shows I want to have some good sound experience and bluetooth or wireless both can work as I have no knowledge of speakers

Indoors and outdoors

Currently using a JBL Flip 6 at work (Indoors, loud warehouse environment), and the thing barely lasts 3 hrs at max volume. Im looking for a similarly sized speaker that will actually last a full 8hrs at high volume. Not sure if a speaker like this even exists. I am "not allowed" to use any of the outlets in my work area.

i am trying to connect my lg soundbar to a ilive soundbar or another speaker. is there a hub or something i can get. don't wont to buy a new speaker i have plenty wont to find a way to connect them all to play the same thing. the ilive is a Bluetooth 5.0 not sheer about the lg

Need a 3” x 2” 8 watt 4 ohm speaker

I’m trying to replace my blown speaker on my Sony SRS-XB33 and it’s this weird teardrop speaker. Can’t find any like it online and it seems they don’t sell parts for this speaker. Doesn’t have to be the exact same speaker, I’m pretty sure I can make it fit 3”x2” and 1 1/2” deep, but I can’t find any small speakers in this oval shape

Im trying to spend less then $40

I've just received two new Minirig 4's as an upgrade from my 3's. I'm shocked at how much noise there is at no/low volume and how distorted they sound at loud volumes. The hiss is annoying to the point I'm sending them back and keeping the 3's as they sound warmer and are silent at no/low volume. The 4's just sound completely overdriven and harsh.

My brother and i use the same speaker in the bathroom, we listen to music while showering, but when he goes to shower, the speaker connects to my phone (because i showered last) and vice versa. It's very annoying at this point, we always have to go to each others room to ask each other to turn off bluetooth on our phones because we only realize it after we can't connect to it. Is there a way to disconnect any device that is connected from the speaker?

Has anyone been able to swap out the secondary circuit board on the Megaboom 3 to get the USB C charging port? Apparently you can take the board with the port on the QC-45 and install it on the QC 35, and because the Megaboom 3 and 4 are so similar, I was thinking maybe the same would work.

Anyone do a teardown or have a picture of the secondary circuit board on the Megaboom 4?

Can you use the monitor port on the x20 to daisy chain speakers?

Does anyone have any recommendations for a knockoff version of a Turtlebox? I do not want to pay 400 for it.

I am searching for a speaker with the above mentioned features... Something portable I can use like a UE boom and the likes but also have on the bedside table as an alarm Clock radio.

Have seen the JBL Tuner 2 / XL but am weary that I will be disappointed by its audio quality.

Does anyone have some assurance or alternatives?

I even installed the Sony Music Center app and turn the bass all the way down on the EQ and it's too much. I bought it used, did I get a busted product?

Either way, I'm looking for a speaker that will fill a room, one with a more dynamic range than I'm getting out of this. Any recommendations?
