The Sony SRS-XE300 is alright for music. With its 'ClearAudio+' feature turned on, this stereo speaker has a boomy sound profile that adds extra bass to the mix. The rest of its range is fairly balanced, so vocals and lead instruments sound clear and present in the mix, though higher-pitched voices and instruments sound dull at times. You can customize its sound profile thanks to the graphic EQ in its companion app. That said, like most speakers its size, it lacks a thumpy and rumbling low bass. Since it projects audio in one main direction, it also has disappointing directivity, resulting in a soundstage that you'll perceive as narrow and directional.
