The Sony SRS XG300 speaker showing as Connected on iPadOS.
This post gives Sony SRS XG300 Bluetooth pairing steps for this mini boombox speaker, to connect it with common Bluetooth devices. E.g. Including the iPhone, iPod Touch, and the iPad line of Apple phones, media players, and tablets along with Android devices as well.
With your SRS XG300 speaker switched OFF (all top panel lams are dark), run through these directions to pair it to your source Bluetooth device. E.g. We use an iPad Air 3 tablet for this demo.
Firstly, press the Home button to reveal the smart device’s Home screen.
We found ours on the second page of the Home screen, as shown next.
Thirdly, touch the Settings app icon.
The smart device then shows the first page of its settings, as shown in the next step.
Our Bluetooth Settings screen displays as follows. Note that our Bluetooth is ON here. But since our speaker is currently powered OFF (and so, is not in pairing mode), it does not show up in the Other Devices list. Also, we don’t see it in the My Devices list since we’ve never paired this speaker with our mobile device before.
Turn on the 300 by fast pressing its Power button. See this, pointed at by the hot pink arrow, in the next picture.
The speaker then boots, and its status lamp glows green, as we see in the next picture.
But since our iPad does not know about this speaker, the SRS XG300 will not pair with it automatically.
Then, to see this BT speaker on your device, place it into pairing mode. To do that, press the Pairing button, and release after a quarter second.
Find the Pairing button as we see in the next picture, pointed at by the pink arrow.
Then the speaker then announces, “Bluetooth pairing.” Also, the Bluetooth Status lamp begins flashing in a pulse-pulse-pause-pulse-pulse-pause pattern.
See the screen shot next. We found our 500, as we point at with the green arrow.
Tap the listed speaker in the discovered devices list.
Your mobile device then pairs with the XG300.
E.g. The the mobile device’s Bluetooth Settings screen might then change to look something like the following. Note the now-connected SRS XG300 entry, as pointed at by the green arrows in the next screenshot.
At last, we have now successfully paired the XG300 Bluetooth speaker with a common mobile tablet device. Thus, you can start enjoying your music on this speaker, which sounds much better than that in just about every smart phone or tablet.
