Sony announces three speakers

Sony electronics are usually better than their speaker

I’d like to see a comp between the XE-200 and a Monoprice Harmony Note 100 that ports stereo to a second one without an app and plays a TF card for for less than 20% of the price.  

The only Sony speakers that I've ever owned were meh.

...as long as they don't get mistaken for an energy drink can, they will be loved by some... 🤷‍♂️

Oh, well...'philes have to start Somewhere.... ;)

Not sure how Sony portable bluetooth speakers made Audiogon, but hey, I guess audiophiles go poolside just like everyone else ….

Look at the 10 discussions the OP has started since February. That will tell you all you need to know.

I bought my son a "lifestyle" Sony speaker similar to these things on this post this past Christmas for his dorm room.  As compared to what I had when I was a kid his age in the 1980's, these little speaker "pills" are incredible.  While nowhere near our audiophile standards, my son's Sony is loud and reasonably accurate in audio reproduction for a $250 toy speaker.

He had a $150 Altec Lansing speaker that was stolen prior to the Sony that I gifted him.  That $150 Altec simply cranked and had a ton of bass for what it was.  I'm pretty skeptical on these cheap toys, but these aren't bad if you need portable audio that is not for critical listening.
