Show you how to reset your Sony SRS X11 personal wireless speaker to its default settings. Resetting restores the X11 to factory default state. Plus, resetting erases any earlier paired Bluetooth devices from its memory. Clearing these stops this speaker from pairing to any nearby Bluetooth devices.

2. Press and Hold the Volume DOWN , Volume UP, and Power Buttons at the Same Time

Next, power on the X11 again, as described in step 1 above.

The reset is now finished. So you may now sell or gift the unit, or pair it again with your favorite Bluetooth devices.
After a reset, the speaker no longer automatically connects with any previously paired Bluetooth device. Thus, to restore this auto pairing, you manually pair the X11 with a device. Then after that, any time that both speaker and that device have Bluetooth turned on, and they’re near to each other, pairing would automatically take place once more.
