The Sony SRS-XE200 isn't bad for music. With its default ClearAudio+ feature enabled, it has a very boomy sound profile that adds boom and punch to the bass. Like other speakers its size, it lacks low-bass, so you can't feel the deep thump and rumble typically present in bass-heavy music. The underemphasis in the treble range also causes higher-pitched vocals and instruments to sound veiled. Fortunately, you can tweak its sound profile thanks to the graphic EQ featured in its companion app. While this doesn't bring the bass up to a thump and rumble, it still gives you some control over its sound. Unfortunately, it doesn't get very loud, and there's a lot of compression at max volume that degrades the quality of your audio when the volume is maxed out.
