Talk about small wireless speakers and the ones from Sony (like the SRS XB10 and SRS XB12) will be the first ones to come to your mind. These small speakers are known to produce great music along with thumping bass. Plus, they are splash resistant, which makes them perfect companions for pool parties.

The Logitech X300 packs almost similar features. Though not as small as the SRS XB10, this one is also known to produce good audio and is perfect for both indoors and outdoors.

However, the X300 costs $25 which is almost half as the SRS XB10. That price difference makes us wonder if upgrading the SRS XB10 is worth the money or is the Logitech X300 good enough?

The Logitech X300 makes a real impression visually with its clean lines and bright colors. But the real impact this speaker makes is aurally, and the X300 can pack a pretty big sound for its small.

Logitech X300 Mobile Wireless Speaker Review After quietly separating itself from Ultimate Ears, Logitech is finally and once again making portable Bluetooth speakers under its own name. Logitech recently introduced the X300 Mobile Wireless Speaker, the exuberant stereo variant of the company's ultra-small and pocket-friendly X100 offering.

Design and Build

The SRS XB10 appears like a mini can, while the Logitech X300 seems like biscuit packet. It measures about six inches long and is about three inches thick. However, it's light and weighs around 335 grams. That's about 100 grams more than the OnePlus 7 Pro.

Such a small profile means you can easily fit it into your backpack or in your tote bag without any issues.

The body is made of a rubberized plastic, and the best thing about is that the back gently tapers down. That conical shape makes it easy to keep your speaker either horizontally or vertically.

The volume control buttons and the power button sit at the top along with a pairing button. Like most Bluetooth speakers, you'll find a 3.5mm jack to connect the AUX cable.

For its price, the X300 has excellent build quality. It looks great and feels sturdy.

Interestingly, the SRS XB10 is small and comes with a detachable strap. You can use that strap which you can attach to showers, beach rails or the handle of your bike. Cool, right?

Apart from that, the SRS XB10 packs a rubberized body and base which keeps the body protected, and at the same time keeps the base steady.

The unique feature about this speaker is its base. There are tiny neat vents at the bottom for air to escape. In a way, it acts as a passive bass radiator.

The key feature here is EXTRA BASS, which is a Sony's proprietary one. It gives a gentle boost to the overall audio output.

Other than that, this speaker is IPX5-certified and lightweight.

Battery and Connectivity

An outdoor speaker ought to have good battery life. Logitech claims that the X300 delivers a 5-hour battery life. Some users agree in their reviews on Amazon that the speaker does live up to its claim.

Also, there's a micro USB port to juice up the battery. Keep in mind that the battery life can depend on number of factors. Generally, playing continuously in high volume will cause the battery to die out faster.

The Sony SRS-XB10 has more than twice the battery life of the X300. It can last up to 16 hours before running out of juice. Many reviewers on Amazon echo that it lives up to the expectations.

When it comes to connectivity, the SRS XB10 also packs a 3.5-mm audio jack to connect it to your phone or laptop. Plus, pairing is easy and barely takes time. And thankfully, the same can be said about the X300.

Sound Quality

One of the primary features of any outdoor speakers is its sound. It should be loud, and yet the audio shouldn't distort at high volumes.

When it comes to the X300, it offers a reasonable amount of bass for its size and price. Plus, the sound output is clear and well-balanced. Note that it comes with two drivers and a passive sub-woofer. These combine to give a quality sound output to fill a room.

The audio output of the SRS XB10 is good enough to fill a room at moderate and high volume levels.

Plus, the bass-heavy sound signature is the icing on the cake for the basshead in you. The folks at PCMag checked out the SRS XB10 and think that it delivers a solid deep bass.

Verdict

How do you define an excellent wireless speaker? Should it just have a long battery life with a good Bluetooth range? Or does the weight and size also matter along with the audio performance?

The Sony SRS XB10 has a perfect size and also produces decent sound. And the 16-hour battery life makes it desirable to many. Also, you get the option of NFC connectivity, making it easy to connect or disconnect with just a single tap.

On top of that, the Sony SRS XB10 wireless speaker is IPX5-rated. Yep, it can take on a few splashes of water.

The Logitech X300 also checks off all the right boxes. It doesn't weigh much and has a balanced audio output. However, the 5-hour battery life can be a deterrent, especially if you want to take it on trips with limited charging options. Plus, it doesn't have an IP-rating so you can't take it to the pool parties.

It costs as half of the SRS XB10. However, the Sony product is a safe bet if you're looking to buy a quality entry-level Bluetooth speaker and the extra bucks are worth it.

Wireless speaker is probably the hottest product in the summer as people travel and party more. Music is now an integral part of our daily life, so there is no reason why we don’t rock our space with a portable wireless speaker.

Manufacturers are making their speakers more pocket-friendly, so that we could carry anywhere. For a low budget, you can still get a high-quality Bluetooth speaker. Today, let’s check out the prominent Logitech X300 speaker.

Overview Video

Design and Features

The packaging of Logitech X300 is quite simple, all you can find in the box are just the speaker unit and a USB cable. Wall charger is not included but you can use any charger like the one on your smartphone.

My review unit is the Blue one, the speaker is available in some other colors like Red, Black and Purple. Out of the box, I’m quite impressed with its original design. It is hard to describe the shape because it is not cylindrical, rounded or squared at all. It seems to have a cylindrical shape but the back is bent backward to create a stand for the speaker. The metal grille on the front is also beautiful with a zigzag pattern and it is wrapped around 2 sides as well. As the X300 has angled drivers to expand the sound, you can also see the grille is not just a flat piece.

In an effort to create a simple and gorgeous design, Logitech places just 3 buttons on top, which are volume up, volume down and Bluetooth buttons. Power button is placed underneath and it might be difficult to see because the button is integrated seamlessly into the back. The 3.5mm auxiliary input port and mini-USB port are also put on the back.

Right under the Bluetooth button, we can spot a small hole which is the built-in microphone. Therefore, you can use the speaker to receive phone calls. When there is an incoming phone call to your smartphone, you can answer directly with the speaker by pressing the Bluetooth button. To end your phone call, just press the same button and hold for a few seconds. Then you will be able to continue enjoying music. I don’t use this feature much because of privacy reasons, however, this is always a nice feature to have. At least, its quality is much better than loudspeakers of smartphones.

I’m disappointed the most with the battery life. The X300 could last just about 4 hours with a full charge. It is at the same battery level as the much smaller JBL Clip. Besides, there is no battery indicator to show current battery level, so you will only know the battery is dying when the indicator below power button changes color.

Audio Quality

The Logitech X300 is designed to be placed horizontally or vertically, however, I prefer laying it down for optimum stereo sound. At first, I’m very impressed with its audio quality when playing some pop and classical tracks. The sound is crisp and clear, and the amount of bass is overwhelming. I also see advantages of the new design and driver placement. The two angled front drivers and side-firing bass radiators perform really well. The result is a deeper bass and better soundstage. I even prefer the sound over that of more expensive speakers like UE BOOM.

The speaker only shows some problems when I play some heavier tracks. There was some noticeable distortion when I played “Tundra” by Amber Rubarth, particularly when the song reached its low notes. Then I played “Memory” song by Il Divo, on the verses where the sound isn’t as full, the quality is amazing, but on the chorus, the volume level is reduced automatically because the speaker can’t handle that much. This could be due to the digital processing unit to avoid distortion but I don’t really like it. I saw the same issue with bass-heavy tracks, however, notice that it only happens when you crank up the volume.

Conclusion

Pros

Compact design with impressive build quality.
Sound is bright and beautiful.
Great soundstage for a portable speaker.
Midrange tones are crisp and clear.
Bass sound is good.
Hands-free phone call feature.

Cons

Distortion at very low notes.
Sound is processed to avoid distortion.
Low battery life.

In my opinion, the Logitech X300 stereo speaker almost has no competition at this price range. The design is eccentric and the sound is beautiful. We totally recommend this product.
