I guess the big thing that the T11 and the Encore have going for them is that they're more musical in manual playback mode when the battery dies (aka bang on them with your hand mode). 😋 I'm surprised they didn't advertise it in the marketing. 😉 Just don't drop them in the pool. 💧 The BB3 and the Blast are the more water safe choices with the Blast being the best value but unable to compete with the others for bass.

Well.... As someone who loves bass, I can't believe I'm going to say it but I think I preferred the encore in no bass mode. The vocals on the box 3 sounded nicer. I wonder if the encore in no bass would in effect make the vocals feel brighter. At 100%, the box 3 was uncomfortable in its high end for me, I preferred the encore in deep mode. Also, you can't keep saying 'honk' about the sound when wearing that nose! 🤣 Thanks Alan!

I have a jbl partybox 110 and I'm loving it. At first I bought a boombox 2 ( it was before the boombox 3 release )which was great, but shortly after I realized that for less money, the partybox 110 was better in every way except for portability and battery life, but honestly, I couldn't care less for battery life, I want my speaker to be easy to carry around, but you'll always have a power plug near by, and I'll always use it because it also gives a sound boost when it's plugged it... and yes it may be less portable, but the boombox isn't that portable neither. Keeping in mind how expensive the boombox 3 is, I would much rather get 2 partybox encore, or 2 partybox 110, actually planning on getting another 110 this year. And with 2 partybox 110 you can have a really good and loud party. On a side note, a friend of mine has the partybox 710, for it's size and weight, I kind of expected for from it. I think the sweetspot is the partybox 310. It gets it right. But a bit expensive also, in order to buy two of them for stereo. Reading through comments I'm actually amazed how many people care for the battery. I want it to have some battery, so it won't turn off if the power goes off for a fraction of a second, and even though I understand that you might want to take it somewhere where you don't have a power socket. I'm reading that some people are charging them 2-3 times a day. I don't think that these people never have a power socket, why not use it plugged it if you have a socket near-by? It's even healthier for the battery and it will last you more when you really need it.

I maxed them out and we played all sorts of music genres for hours. Everyone was impressed including me. There was a bit of compression yes but damn, those suckers were sooooo clear. Not once did they have any sort of distortion that was noticeable to me (besides the DSP doing its thing on the dynamics of course). That and the soundstage made for an amazing experience. If I stopped tracks abruptly, you could hear the reverberation back off the hills.

@@alanrossreviews This might get a little wordy but hey, hear me out. I never got a chance to listen with headphones but it was the data I was most interested in. Man, I can't argue with any of your points. I will say though that I REALLY miss when you would add that frequency response line for the track it self. That made it real nice to see how the speakers deviated and added their own sounds. Like when you are comparing the three, yeah those peaks are pretty obvious but it was nice to see which stayed a little truer to the source material. I can't believe you didn't slam the piss poor battery even more! lol. You have to think about how they are designing these things though. I do believe the party box line are meant more to be plugged into the mains on a porch or something with the battery as just a nice extra. Well that and of course it it would compete even more with their BoomBox3. I modded mine to add two more cells and it is perfect. I didn't jump on the boombox 3 but I do still have my BoomBox 2 and like you have found, the BB3 isn't really any better on the low end. I never compared them at full volume but that's pretty interesting that they get pretty darn similar on deep bass at full volume. I usually listen at 60% or below. I really like the sound of the encore at those volumes over the boombox 2 but I will admit, I know that my hearing is getting more and more attenuated on the upper treble range. I may not even notice if it is a little too bright up that high. Also, I have to admit that my huge smile comes most from running two encores in TWS mode. Also I have mentioned I run Bass boost 1 BUT also +1 to both bass and mids on that silly 3 band EQ thing. Looking at your measurements, I feel kinda vindicated in pushing the bass up one and not sure about the mids but the combined effect lowers the highs. Someone else in the comments mentioned why not just lower the treble slider and maintain some headroom. Well, if you could adjust the amount of deep bass boost, then yeah but you can't so you have to raise the bass slider to recover that upper bass that is sacrificed for the deep bass. And again, I typically listen 60% or below so the headroom doesn't matter much and when I am over 60% volume, I am usually pretty drunk hahahah. Also, I know you don't want to deal with the volume boost when on mains and I really agree there is probably no point but to me, that volume boost is way more noticeable on teh encore than any other speaker with the same behavior. Maybe another result of the anemic battery pack they threw in these things. There absolutely would have been enough room for another two cells without impacting the resonating airspace volume inside this if they had wanted to. One last thing, I noticed that these suckers are real fickle about room placement indoors! And what the heck were they thinking when they made those DJ sounds play at full volume no matter what the speaker was set to? I about gave myself and the wife a heart attack when I tried the horn sound inside!

OK, I grabbed my cans and listened to the soundcheck portions and I see what people are saying about the treble on the encore. It IS a tad crisp in these recordings.

I wonder if I wouldn't hate the BB3's annoying peaks in real life as much either in most listening situations. Not that I would buy one or anything since I already have a BB2... Holy cow that treble is overwhelming in the 100% volume test. I swear I don't hear them like that when I run mine at full tilt outdoors. But then again, I am usually pretty drunk when that happens.

yeah in a normal room some of that treble will be damped and outside it will be less of an issue. im trying to capture exactly what the speaker is doing with minimal room influence. also what are you listening back on? does it have any of its own high end push?

Hello, your content is very rich, congratulations on your work. I'm from Brazil and I've been looking for content like yours for some time to answer my questions about the partybox encore and boombox 3. You mention a peak of 700hz on the boombox 3 which really bothers the ears when listening at higher volumes, giving impression that almost 50% of the bass is lost, resulting in a very strident and annoying sound, but I like the set and balance of it at volumes below 60%. Would it be possible to equalize the boombox 3 in some way so that it could reduce this 700hz peak so that it maintains a more pleasant sound without losing the strong bass at higher volumes? If that were possible, I would prefer the boombox 3 over the Encore, but if it's a problem that can't be fixed, I'll stick with the Encore. Thank you in advance for your attention and congratulations on your very rich content. I look forward to your response. Hug!

@@alanrossreviews I got my Encore (HM version). And holy hell this thing goes incredibly deep, it's really noticeable compared to Boombox 2 ! Thanks to the lack of 700hz peak, you can feel how big the difference is. By pushing bass +1 in the EQ, it fills the mid and upper bass pretty well, making it the true Boombox 2 successor to me. I think mids and highs are adequately tuned, though like I said, I reduced treble to -1 in the EQ to eliminate any possibility of the speaker being sharp.

@Alan Ross Reviews. I know it's expensive. But you absolutely must try out the Devialet Phantom I or II if you get a chance. I had $1100 amazon gift cards to spend from my birthday and Christmas and I said fuck it.. and bought a Phantom II. The first thing I did was compare it to the boombox 3. Keep in mind it's three times smaller than the boombox 3. It gets louder. It has measurable bass extension down to 21hz from my testing. Very good bass down to about 28hz. Then it's not as loud. Boombox 3 has nothing below 35-38hz. Also, boombox 3 has bass reduction starting at 70% and it's soft bass. Not a lot of chest thump behind it. The phantom II increases bass all the way to max volume and it gets very very punchy like you feel the physical impact of the bass. So it gives a very strong thump in your chest. And it does not thin out. It does not compress. It's so small. But it has an unbelievably heavy sound. I never heard a speaker have such a thick rich bass. Super deep bass and very hard-hitting upper bass. On some tracks with bass boost the walls of my whole apartment were vibrating and it's not much bigger than a charge 5. Oh and this thing is so heavy. It weighs 10 pounds. It just hurts my brain how so much power can come from something so small. I can't even imagine the bigger Phantom.

Hi Alan, how do you mesure the max bitrate? My guess: Is it in the dev options of android, or do i need a certain app for that? I have the Boombox 3 for 2 months. On higher levels the mids are really piercing, but i think, its made for more output playing outdoors, reaching longer distance. The Encore seems to be made of cheaper drivers that the Boombox 3. IMHO, It has 2 very cheap fullrange drivers, which you can get, by the looks of it, for 30 pennys at your fav china OEM. The big woofer, looks like an ordinary driver, with a paper cone, and thats it. Right from the shelf of an OEM. But in a big enclosure, with a vast bass reflex port, tuned quite low. If resilience and size are not a problem for you, a good deal. But if you are a real speaker afficionado, like me, than i prefer the Boombox 3. Its has a 3 way system, with coax silk dome tweeter and beefy midrange driver, playing in its own acoustic chamber. The racetrack woofer of the boombox 3, custom made to fit in perfectly, with its enormous magnet, high excursion surround, and reinforced cone, makes to me a lot more sophisticated driver, and for me, more desirable driver. IMHO, the extra charge you pay on the boombox 3, is for its waterproofness and smaller enclosure.
@alanrossreviews Жыл бұрын
i prefer the form factor as well with the bb3 but that 700hz peak is simply too much for me and it has no more bass than the bb2 so for me its the bb2. the encore seems to have a proper crossover so not sure if i would go along with the full range drivers but you may be right. the battery on the encore is ridiculous though.
