IP ratings refer to the level of protection offered by an electrical enclosure, against solids and liquids. The letters 'IP' are followed by two numerals The first number of the IP rating refers to protection against solids say dust, while the second refers to protection against liquid.
Having a value of IPX4, the Sony SRS XV900's rating is read as, the first number of X denotes that no data available to specify a protection rating, and the second number of 4 means that they can withstand low pressure spray similar to that of a shower head when tilted at 180° for 10 minutes.
Volume is the quantity of three-dimensional space taken up by the product's chassis or, in simpler terms, the space the product occupies. Sony SRS XV900 takes up 158,391.2cm³, it is important to know the space that the speaker takes up just so as to ensure that it will fit with ease into the available space next to your other gadgets.
Sony SRS XG300's volume is 5,968.22cm³ meaning it
occupies more space than the Sony SRS XV900 by cm³
We take in account a lower weight best for the reason that lighter devices are more comfortable to move with.
A lower weight is also an advantage for home appliances, as it makes transportation easier, and for many other types of products.
The Sony SRS XG300, at 3,000g
is heavier than the Sony SRS XV900 with a difference g.
Most of the time a genuine quality system is a little bit heavier than average quality products though If you want to change the position of the soundbar after some time, then you should aim to purchase a lighter soundbar.
The height represents the vertical dimension of a device, Sony SRS XV900 has a height of 880mm.
The Sony SRS XG300, at 138mm
is shorter than the Sony SRS XV900 by -742mm
This represents the horizontal dimension of a device, Sony SRS XV900 has a width of 439mm.
Sony SRS XG300, at 318mm
is smaller in width than the Sony SRS XV900 by -121mm
The thickness (or depth) of Sony SRS XV900 is 410mm, to know the thickness of the speaker you divide its volume(space occupied) by the surface area( length by width)
Sony SRS XG300 has a thickness of 136mm,
meaning that it is less thicker than the Sony SRS XV900 with a difference -274mm
The Sony SRS XV900 is dustproof and water-resistant. A water-resistant device can resist the penetration of water, such as powerful water jets, if it is to be submerged in the water this is usually set to a given depth and for a specific time period.
Sony SRS XG300 too is dustproof and water-resistant, this makes both devices water-resistant and dust-resistant, thus preventing water and dust from entering the interior of the devices keeping the interior components safe
A subwoofer is a speaker that delivers lower frequencies in the range of 20 -200Hz, the low frequencies are produced by instruments such as pipe organs, bass guitars, even the kick drums, and any explosive sound effects say in a movie. Devices that have a subwoofer inbuilt give a richer bass sound when listening to bass-heavy music like hip hop.
Bigger subwoofers are capable of producing deeper bass sounds. Sony SRS XV900 has a 120 mm subwoofer
Sony SRS XG300 has stereo speakers, what this means is that Sony SRS XG300's speakers deliver sound from separate channels on both left and right sides, creating a richer sound and a better listening experience.
The driver unit is the component that produces sound in the device, its size dictates the loudness of the headphone. Sony SRS XG300 driver unit is 61mm in diameter, bigger drivers are more powerful and can produce better bass.
A speaker driver is an individual transducer that converts electrical energy to sound waves. Drivers come in different sizes and modes, but generally, you'll find three types: tweeter driver, which handles the high-frequency treble range (above 2,000 Hz), and midrange driver: which handles the midrange frequencies (200 Hz to 2,000 Hz). Woofer driver: handles the low-frequency bass range (below 200 Hz).
Based on the frequencies they handle more drivers may result in better sound quality, Sony SRS XG300 has 4 only.
A passive radiator is a type of driver in speakers that can get extra power and resonance from a speaker system, usually used in smaller speaker systems. This radiator is called passive because it is not powered by electricity but by air pressure found in speaker cones.
The sound vibrations produced by a passive radiator depend on its mass and the size of its enclosure. It is usually used in combination with a woofer to produce deep, resonant tones that would normally be produced by speakers in large boxes powered by AC.
Low-frequency response measures if and how well a particular audio device reproduces low audible frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal on the way through. Sony SRS XV900's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, the lower the low-frequency response, the stronger and juicier the bass.
Sony SRS XG300's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this implies that
both devices produce equal bass
High frequency response measures if and how well an audio component reproduces high audible frequencies and if it changes to the signal on the way through. Sony SRS XV900's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, the higher the high-frequency response, the clearer and crispier the treble.
Sony SRS XG300's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this means that
both devices produce equal treble
Your speaker's battery life will reduce over time while in use, the battery life is given by the manufacturer, and with longer battery life, you get to use it for longer and have to charge the device less often. Sony SRS XV900's battery life is 25 hours
Sony SRS XG300's battery life is 25 hours. Each time you recharge your device, it gets a little less listening time. The effect is barely noticeable at first. But over a few years, you may find that your speaker, no longer plays for long like it used to.
It takes 1.5 hours to fully charge the Sony SRS XV900's battery. It is recommended to fully charge the battery before using it for the first time or when they have been unused for extended periods.
Sony SRS XG300 takes 3.5 hours to fully charge the battery
Sony SRS XV900 has a battery level indicator, an indicator shows you when the device has a low battery. The battery indicator lights indicate the charging status of your speaker.
Sony SRS XG300 too has a battery level indicator, charging indicators allow you to determine the charging state of your speaker, whether fully charged, or the battery is running low.
The amount of power a speaker uses depends on the loudness of the audio being played, its sensitivity, and the amplifier's volume. Operating power consumption is how much power the device consumes when it's in use. Sony SRS XV900's operating power consumption is 100W
Sony SRS XG300's operating power consumption is 17W
Also known as a device's energy-saving mode, the power consumption in standby mode measures the amount of power the device consumes when shut down but still plugged in. Sony SRS XV900 has a standby mode power consumption of 1W
Sony SRS XG300 has an energy-saving mode power consumption of 0.3W

Detachable cables are cables that have connectors on both ends. One end goes into your headphone cups, while the other end is inserted into an audio source. Some new headphones, and not just the expensive ones, are coming with detachable cables, Sony SRS XV900 is one of those.
With a detachable cable, Sony SRS XG300 too can use alternative cables and if the cable is pulled, it will pop out instead of breaking.
An auxiliary input allows you to play other audio sources by connecting them through a simple audio connection like a 3.5mm jack
Being an industry-standard audio plug, a standard 3.5mm male connector is suitable for use with all MP3 players and computer sound cards. This means that it is commonly used in stereo headphones to your phone or connecting your phone to an external amplifier, sound bars, your car radio, etc.
Sony SRS XV900 has this connector giving it a wider range of connectivity with most of the sound devices out there. All plugs have at least a tip and sleeve with the number of rings that stand as a differentiating factor.
Sony SRS XG300 too has this kind of connector
Bluetooth is a wireless technology that allows you to easily transfer data between different devices, such as smartphones, tablets, and computers.
Both the Sony SRS XG300 and the Sony SRS XV900 have Bluetooth
