At $74.99 for a "Grade A" refurbished unit, the Sony SRS-XE300 portable Bluetooth speaker might just be one of the better wireless speaker deals going right now, especially when you consider that a new one still runs close to $150. The "Grade A" rating means this item might have minor, hard-to-spot cosmetic flaws, but it has passed full diagnostics to ensure like-new performance. Woot has this refurb available for the next 10 days or until it sells out, with free shipping for Prime members (but it won't ship to Alaska, Hawaii, or PO boxes). If you're not a Prime member, shipping will cost you six bucks. It also comes with a one-year limited warranty via eReplacements, which offers a bit of peace of mind if you're hesitant about buying refurbished. Just a heads up, though, Woot doesn’t

Sony gave the XE300 a tall, slim design to concentrate its sound in a straight line. How much that helps in real-world use depends on where you place it and what you're listening for. The XE300 also supports Bluetooth 5.2 and is compatible with AAC, SBC, and LDAC codecs, allowing Android users to stream in high resolution. That said, because of the way Sony angled the drivers inside, PCMag reported odd stereo imaging depending on speaker placement. It’s not a dealbreaker, but worth knowing if you're picky about soundstage.

The speaker is IP67-rated, meaning it's waterproof and dust-proof, making it a solid pick for beach days, backyard hangs, or anywhere you’re not exactly gentle with your gear. You can tweak the sound slightly with Sony’s app, but the interface isn’t all that intuitive or visually appealing. There’s also no wifi or smart assistant built-in, so it’s strictly a Bluetooth affair. If you're okay with that, and want a sturdy, capable speaker with solid performance at nearly half the price of new, this refurb is worth a look.
