But what does the number of watts a wireless speaker has, tell us about how good it is?  Firstly, the watt is a measure of how much power the speaker consumes or outputs.  Plus, this metric is a convenient comparison measure. Generally, speakers with more watts play louder than those with less.  Yes, they they can cost more due to their bigger batteries, chargers, drivers, magnets. Yet nonetheless, these models offer greater dynamic range and have a deeper bass response. Plus the models that do stereo offer a bigger soundstage and better imaging to listeners.

    2. This speaker may not get enough power to keep the battery from discharging when playing at full volume. So even with the unit charging, it still might shut OFF unexpectedly.  Thus to get past this, just stop playing the 300 for an hour or two. This allows it build up some reserve power while charging. Then, switch it ON again to continue the party fun.
