Hello Alan who is better in the speaker market now 2024 for utility regular indoor and outside best song quality and bass boosted + EQ like the motioncore + high res system sound for exemple in my memories maybe jbl xtreme 4 or boom 2, boom plus or boom or W king 10 or another speaker ?

@@alanrossreviews Input ports are an avenue for failure for an IP67-rated device, and I'm guessing not much of their target market use AUX in anyway. The only time that I use AUX-IN on my BT speakers is when I'm doing speaker measurements. If they were targeting the micro-DJ market, they'd offer one of the low-latency wireless connection options, like SKAA. Soundboks already does this. It would be nice though if the USB port wasn't used only for charging, and the BT speaker would show up as an USB audio device when plugged into a PC ... :-).

Considering I can get the 3 for $250 vs. $380 for the 4, I've decided to go for the 3, even though the 4 does sound a bit better to me at high volumes. I still think the 3 will be a big upgrade over the Charge 5 at those high volumes - seems like the Xtreme 3 at roughly 60-70% volume will be the same loudness as the Charge 5 with better sound, plus some room to extend louder.

I've encountered 3 different variants of the Charge 5 in the US. The ND,NT, & TT. The ND & NT are made in China. The TT is made in Vietnam. The ND has the most dynamic volume & sound, with a thick & heavy low bass response. The ND isn't quite as loud, with a softer or warmer sounding bass. The TT has a nice, clean,clear sound, but the overall volume & bass response drops off drastically in comparison to the other 2 variants. This is why it's best to go in-store & purchase JBL speakers, so you can physically lift the box up & read the serial number. You never know what variant you're purchasing online.

The analysis was so good - the way you were checking the accuracy of those 5 bands, was great. You said it's a little bit better in terms of sound quality, but has decent feature and hardware improvements. Can the Xtreme 3 have the updated 5 band EQ support for now ..? How big is the battery in real-time real-life experience ..? Is it worth an upgrade from X3 for a bit better sound quality and bigger battery ..?
@alanrossreviews5 ай бұрын
Its a good question about the 5 band eq, im guessing even if they could enable it for the x3 they won't because it would be one less reason to buy the x4. Battery life i no longer test due to too many variables but the battery is big, it should last way longer than the x3. Also seems nd and gg version are quite different for x4. For me x4 gg is a little better than x3 gg but i wouldn't update unless i could get a good price on the x3 👍

Have you had a chance to take a look at the "brane x" bluetooth speaker? supposedly they were measuring 95db at 35hz 1m and functional response down to 20hz... and thats out of a mid size bt speaker... Website description is a bit too smug for my taste but it uses a split voice coil woofer and an opposing magnet array on the vc itself between the coils to counter the force exerted by the rise in air pressure as the cone excursion increases, a reverse spring of sorts. Lets the woofer behave as if its in a much larger box.

they are marketing the the dual magnet setup as groundbreaking but its been done before. i have looked at this before and it sounded like snake oil to me. functional response means? 95hz peak for a single 35hz tone at max volume? it needs to deliver for the price for sure but too much marketing nonsense like 100 times louder than normal subs right?

Hey Alan, another in-depth and funny review! Thanks for making my day, again 😀 It's a real shame that the new Xtreme 4 brings so little to the table, was hoping for more improvements. What's really disappointing to me is the lack of bass at higher volumes when comparing to other speakers like the Encore or the Stormbox Blast. That's really unfortunate, maybe they will come with a firmware update to change this, but given the history, probably unlikely. I really liked the HK Go Play series, especially the latest model, but I'm worried about the bottom firing woofer when using it outdoors. What would you recommend for mostly outdoor usage (with some mixed indoor usage)? Is it still the Stormbox Blast? I'm also considering the JBL Encore, but I have no usage for the mics (it's roughly the same price as the Stormbox Blast and the HK Go Play 3). I wish WiFi was more popular, we have either the JBL Charge 5 (decent, but mono) or the Boombox 3 (quite large and expensive). The rest are smart speakers, tailored to indoor usage (with a few exceptions).

Anker boom 2 and boom 2 SE review please
@okpalaathanesius89395 ай бұрын
Nice one Alan, it kinda gave me concerns after a long while i haven't seen any new pop up of new vids from you admist some interesting new releases floating around, now that JBL Xtreme 4 is cleared, i eagerly await your reviews of the now reigning Soundcore Boom 2 & ofcourse some comparisons too Your channel is the only one i await for technical detailed honest reviews so far as BT speakers are concerned I did a little experiment with my two motion booms & will like to share the outcome with you -One of my booms was on firmware 00.43 & another was on 00.44, both sound different using same EQ & even when connected via TWS, one sounds louder(00.44) than the other, i wanted to update the one of 00.43, but it keeps saying its up to date, i messaged soundcore about it, they asked for my serial No, i sent it & less than 24 hrs they notified me that the update has been pushed to my device, i opened soundcore app & there it was, when i clicked on 'more' for more details, it says 'optimised sound quality', after the upgrade, both are now on same 00.44 & sounds better to me I decided to take both outdoors for a little fun, i spaced them about 16 feet apart & sat about same 16 feet apart in middle of both of them & it might be my ears but it sounds as if there's a little surround of sound all around a little circumference all in between the speakers creating more pleasurable listening experience for me I don't have your professional ears, technical tools or experience but i think firmware 00.44 improved something on sound over 00.43, you might want to check it out if you have the time I await for more notification pop ups from Alanrossreviews, it gives me joy More power to you! Cheers!!

im slow with reviews because of time but also because i am honest and thus nobody really wants to send me early version speakers. soundcore only send those early speakers to shills.

Last comment only the lartybox speakers or encore essential warrant their price tags in the jbl lineup... charge 5 on sale for 119 or 129 isn't bad but way better options at those prices and even flip 6 on sale for 89 not bad but sounds horrible once it gets to 80 percent volume and not only that the wking d320 is only 60 bucks and smokes the flip 6 for sound and battery life and better app

W king isn't always like JBL's bass. Keep that in your mindset, probably flip 6 it has deeper bass. And W-king has boosted midbass. W-king nothing be deeper than JBL.

And you said d320 smoke Flip 6. Hellyah, chose correct variant. And you will get deep bass. Probably don't own any portable speakers. Also charge 5 now has decent value, even more cheaper now. Get the ND charge 5. And also you will get some warmer deep sound. And better quality.

So, im having a tough time trying to find the difference between the xtreme 4 and the soundcore boom 2. Now im seeing new things about both of them, some are good, some are bad. Techder audios said that he expected way more from the boom 2, it's very cheap and plasticy feeling, and has also bass rolloff at high volumes, and the xtreme 4 has it's own problems with the lower mids etc. No clue what to think. I wanted to order the boom 2, and now i cancled the order because i started thinking if it was a smart idea. The jbl seems promising, the soundcore is cheap but can be a watse of money if the jbl becomes better.

The xtreme 4 will be available in my country for sure, and jbl prices in here can change drastically, like the boombox 3 i got for 320$...
