[@speakertoni2680]

the sound comparison between the Revolve and A1 will follow today

[@jordanlah]

woohoooooo! Can't wait! :)))

[@jordanlah]

I would love to hear some of these comparisons: battery life, sound quality from near and far, bluetooth connection stability, pairing with another speaker for party mode (if possible), max volume, different genre of music.... if it is not TOO MUCH to ask... :p

[@emmearchitect]

thank you tony!!

[@diegodecardenas5095]

Speaker Toni your bose soundlink 2 doesnt have a battery issue it's just that when you leave it dis connected for a long time or dont use it, it goes into factory mode so that the battery doesnt rot or completely die.

[@mReYeAmLegend]

Compare the Bose Resolve + to the Sonos Move

[@juliettedeleury]

*This is my **Newest.Technology** second one, the first was for my older car. Alexa works way better than an FM tuner bluetooth or for hands free calling. We found it also worked great on the boat. That is why we now own two Echo Auto's.*

[@edsanchezreyes1]

I just got the BOSE REVOLVE + and I love it... GREAT SOUND.

[@Ermanno98]

me too

[@btx5740]

[@souvikthakur95]

Is ur bose revolve+ still working?

[@davidpinontoan3429]

Dropped mine down sum stairs eraly thusyear. I got revolve + still work perfectly

[@davidpinontoan3429]

I got Bose s1 after revolve

[@iu1191]

I cannot believe so few people have watched this video. It is fantastic. Thanks Toni for doing it. Love your videos and your voice as well. I have now bought 2 of the big boys and they are fantastic!! I am very happy. As you noted …. for listening to various styles of music at reasonable listening levels - these send out a hifi like sound and fill any room. As a stereo pair - they are amazing. I took them outside in the garden and they filled the whole garden with sound from every angle. Thanks again for the video!!

[@g4do]

Glad to see I'm not the only bluetooth speaker nut in the world. I not only buy them, but I build some pretty insane bluetooth speakers. I built a 500 w speaker with focal speakers, focal amplifier/subwoofer and pioneer bluetooth receiver. I'm addicted to high quality sound!! I don't think I'll ever be satisfied...

[@sosurim]

Excellent detailed analysis. I got the Revolve based on your video for my brother for xmas. Sounds great. I plan to get more for me and the rest of my family, but only after you put up an Amazon affiliate links (I suggest for both the Bose and JBL products). You deserve to get paid for creating such good video.

[@alajet]

I tested a bunch of portable systems today and landed on the Big Boy Revolve+. Even though 90% of this system's life is going to be spent in my kitchen where the smaller of the two would have been more than enough there are times when it will go outdoors and the little extra punch will appreciated. The 360 sound is very nice. The design makes it look like a kettle and the smaller one looks like an oversize salt or pepper shaker. The big one is a bit on the bigger side, calculated it to take up almost 2 liters of volume compared to the smaller one being just above a 1 liter, size matters when you are packing a backpack. The weight is a bit closer, one being 600 grams and the other being a full 1000 grams. Still glad I went big. The vertical form factor of the Bose packs a lot of sound into a reasonable space.

[@Goryglory0209]

One of the best and making sense to brain video out there. This is what you do with a new speaker compare with all the others in same segment. Good job and thanks a lot for this.

[@HBFREEWORLD]

Enjoyed watching all the reviews ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[@JeremyRicketts]

This was a great comparison and very helpful. Thank you! Also, your english is wonderful!

[@pakhrinla4157]

Review is very good and informative. Soo good that i watched without skipping.

[@Mike-4547]

Had the same JBL pure garbage after 7 months battery kept dying, purchased the Bose revolt very happy

[@lynrvera]

Mike 45 how has the Bose speaker held up ??

[@JK-qv8oq]

Who’s getting lost in these relaxing tunes. What a vibe 😎😎

[@dmytrokhokhlov9612]

Thank you for a great review, somehow you managed to compere exactly the same speakers I was thinking of. Grate help.

[@supernova1976]

your explanation @ 14:50 is spot on . I think there could be an advantage of directional speakers when recording the sound compared to boss none directional designs , I think they will be appreciated more in person . because when you did face the bottom of the speaker to the mics, it sounded much better .

[@robcrooks1945]

Hey Toni. Do you recommend the Revolve+? I saw that you commented on another KZbin review video and it seemed like you really hated it. Is it just over priced for the sound quality?

[@popcultureisdead818]

Fantastic comparison video. Thank you for the binaural recording. That is what I needed to hear to fully understand the sound coming from the speakers. Everyone else can only record what their mic picks up and it just isn't a true representation of what the speaker sounds like. Many thank yous for doing this for us all. =8-Þ

[@captainhowdy2859]

Danke, genau die Vergleiche habe ich gesucht für meine Kaufentscheidung. Hat mir sehr geholfen! LG aus Wien

[@lordadams5762]

I don't understand why there are so many bose haters cheap taste

[@HUSSDAR]

adam young X they are not haters the just don't like it because its overpriced. But okay the best sound quality and everything but its not worth it for a speaker that have a normal bass that distorts at 70%

[@aeromedical6750]

@Crazy limm - no everyone is a Basshead. My neighbor has one and it sounds amazing.

[@HUSSDAR]

@@aeromedical6750 maybe it depends on the model my sister have the bose soundlink it sounds amazing but when its above 70% it destorts

[@kelvinsmith6854]

Bose Revolve is fucking great !

[@2badboy68]

Because they are JELOUS.....I have a mini 2 ( the only Stereo Bose..), and 2 Revolve plus, on 1 meter trépied ( for photo ), which is a Stereo maybe expensive, but easy to move, and VERY Powerful, NO Distortion, and Perfect Treble/Mid/Bass, BOSE IS A MUST FOR PEOPLE THAT CAN REALLY HEAR WHAT QUALITY IS..., cuz not everybody can...

[@a.j9645]

Nice comparison Toni! Keep up the good work and you will have more subscribers soon. Clavinetjunkie aka "The bt speaker king" is still the king of the hill, but you never know what happens in the future☺️ As a harman kardon/jbl fan i must say that i am quite impressed by the big Bose. My friends soundlink minis do suck, but Bose might have done something right this time around..

[@servidellanello]

Nice, they also look quite good. Interested in the A1 comparison, since I gave one to my father as a gift a while ago. OT: Any news when bluetooth 5.0 speakers will arrive? I did not find any set date so far.

[@tony182709]

thanks. These comparisons were much needed

[@ind23031980]

Very comprehensive benchmark!!

[@jorgecasagrandejunior7203]

Thank's for the vídeo, your impressions are very importante for my decision how to buy, Bose off course! Thank you very mutch!

[@techderaudios]

who disliked thos like he paid it his self come on 👌

[@AGLADHEART]

Thanks for the review. Fairly new here, but truly liking what you do.

[@speakertoni2680]

AGLADHEART thank you, if you have any more questions just ask:)

[@sinewaymusic]

Very confused with your comparison of Soundlink Mini and Revolve. You say the Mini sounds more hollow - with my studio over-ear headphones, I hear the total opposite: the Revolve sounds much more hollow, bass isn't as deep and treble never matches the Mini (when you direct it towards your ears). Are you sure you didn't have purchase bias?

[@saardean4481]

where are the mics that record the music when you do the A-B comparissons in this video? Do you record with the h4n i see on the table?

[@g4do]

Bose always has more power but because their speakers are made from paper, they use reducers to cut base or even mids or highs at higher volumes to protect the speakers.

[@supernova1976]

Tony to my ears the charge 3 sounded better a bit clearer and more punchy. the Bose treble sounded a bit strange due to the reflectors .

[@timfalls8254]

Very, very comprehensive!

[@emmearchitect]

Hi tony, can you compare b&o A1 vs the new bose revolve?For the next time, please let's play song a bit more.. you are great, thanks!

[@jordanlah]

Thanks Toni for doing the review despite it is late night for you! I had the same feeling as you when I compared Revolve and Revolve+ at the shop - seems that the smaller one has cleaner treble and mids for certain songs. The big one could drown out the treble and mids when its powerful bass comes in. Hope when you have the time - to compare the B&O A1 against the smaller Revolve!!! Can't believe NO ONE has done that yet lol... considering both are in the same price bracket and both are omni directional. I noticed while A1 has deep bass... it gets lost the minute you are about 2 meters away. Hope to hear from you soon - thanks!!!

[@speakertoni2680]

Jordanlah Thank you, there will be a comparison for sure:)

[@progamer00006]

Jordanlah it already has been done lol :P

[@MrHkstudent]

Jordanlah The A1 give you the deeper bass(not boost), better treble and mid. They almost provide 360 degree sound. But the A1 was arrival more than a year, I mean you might found more cheaper price. Of cause the BOSEs' should be the winner on Drop test.

[@jordanlah]

Speaker Toni: Thank you thank you thank you!! :)

[@jordanlah]

Mr. Magnificent: Wow can you point me to the place?? The only one I could find was Oluv (Clavinetjunkie) Unboxing and first impression - but it was unfair as (i) speaker was freezing cold (ii) power was at 20% (power saving) (iii) not enough genre of music. In fact the next day he said he grew to like the Bose in another video.

[@the1ideashow173]

Great job - thanks for the info...!!

[@jamesduffcpa970]

Great review!

[@dougpeattie]

Great speaker but we are struggling to connect hands free. We used to have Hey Google but Bose won’t connect.. Any tips how to sort this.

[@riowinaryo18_86]

Best review. I have ue megaboom next month I'm buying a new one which is Bose Revolve Plus. 😁👍👍 I can't wait.

[@Hof79905]

I love ❤️ the Plus

[@bige6020]

Speaker Toni, what speaker would you say gives the most "punch" for around 200$ while still being somewhat portable, and somewhat durable? I live in the US so I can't get the dockin d fine😔

[@speakertoni2680]

Easton Eddie if you don't need something portable I'd take the JBL playlist or the b&o S3. If you need a battery you should go with the b&o a1, the charge 3 or the revolves.

[@VladNegrila1]

I saw a video from Bose where they connected two Bose Sounlink Revolve speakers only using the buttons. Can a Revolve Plus and a Revolve connect only using the buttons? Or is this a feature only if you use the same type of speaker, and need to use the app for a Revolve Plus and a Revolve?

[@ScottsReviews]

I have been reviewing the revolve. I can get over the loss in clear and direct vocals. I am I crazy. I found the charge 3 better. Hmmm. What about the revolve vs revolve plus is the plus worth the extra. Or is it the same just louder. Oh..... I did not wait to see your whole video. Revolve plus. 🤔

[@speakertoni2680]

scamhealy haha, I know the video got extremely long but Iam struggling to decide between these two as well. For me the small one is more fun and looks better as well. I will do a sperate video only for these two so we can hear which one is nicer.

[@ScottsReviews]

Thanks. I need to get a Digital recorder for my reviews.

[@materusendic4896]

amazing video as always

[@gavindekoning2885]

The Bose revolve and the revolve+ both have a aux compatiblity but they didn't include a cable with the product? Why didn't they do that?

[@vprashan]

excellent review. thank you

[@KanwarAnand]

I purchased a used charge 3 and hated it so I sold it. Meanwhile I tried a friend's Soundlink 3 and loved it so much. I was going to buy it but heard Revolve + is coming so now I'm waiting for it to come to India. I hope they are as good or better than SL3.

[@vpxtranguladoriyw4349]

The Bose Revolve Plus or the Bose Sountouch 20 III? I'm looking for audio quality and bass.

[@shasashu]

I didn't hear any distortion in jbl xtreme. Also i found jbl xtreme better sounding than revolve + in this video.

[@HomeTheatre101]

Nice video! Keep up the good work!

[@speakertoni2680]

HomeTheatre101 thank you:)

[@diamadragonz]

Dude I was clapping through this full video .. I did not stop clapping and farting watching this

[@christinagreaves7932]

Exellent reveiw

[@michaeljelliot]

I bought the Resolve Plus and thought it sounded awful. Bass overpowering all other frequencies and fatiguing. Have the Resolve on order in an effort to get a better sound - more balanced with reduced bass.

[@checkthatout5600]

Einfach zu geil dieser deutsche Akzent xD

[@reinaldoivan]

I ran into this video because I wanted a Bose Revolve and I am leaving wanting to get the JBL. Lol, its obvious the JBL sounded better even though that is not what this review says.

[@Darklighter43]

The larger Bose sounds okay but the smaller one doesn't. I wonder why Bose still won't use seperate woofers and tweeters. They still rely on fancy dsp settings and port tuning. Sorry for my little rant Toni, I have a bad past with Bose and I'm still upset. Love the build quality though. I think this design was definitely made for taking the speaker out and about.

[@speakertoni2680]

David but I have to admit that they do a better job with using only one drivers than JBL for example. With JBL you get a lot of intermodulation and here it remains clean.

[@bencherian]

Speaker Toni yea I felt the Bose revolve plus sound Clean

[@VivekKumar-lp8bw]

May i use bluetooth mic with this speaker

[@MyPurple8]

Jbl sounds like a small radio on high volume the tweeter sounds like an old sound system sorry.Bose sounded more like a big speaker with deep sound. Bose for me.

[@IAmKAZMO]

Bc most if not all jbl speakers are mono instead of making a decent full sounding driver like Bose does

[@hajakamara5805]

I prefer having Bose.

[@tommacbride3654]

Reset th Bose min11 by holding down th power button for 10 sec all lights flash, may fix your problem. Cheers!

[@moonbeam5188]

You're biased toward the Bose. WE have ears. The JBL sounds much better and you don't have to lift the JBL off the table trying to hear the treble like you are doing with the Bose.

[@ghettoblasterboom9017]

Aber wie immer eine sehr schönes Review

[@mikadwsk]

Cooles Review! Mich hat es aber ein bisschen aggressiv gemacht, dass du das Paket mit einer Zange aufgemacht hast😂

[@anthonyfernandes1622]

I would love the comparison between bose revolve plus n bose sound touch 10

[@CojRacer]

The handle on the revolve plus ruins the design. It's not a big speaker, it can easily be handled with one hand. There was no need for that ugly handle

[@fernandosanfranciscoca9278]

You can't compare BOSE to JBL...Bose 👍👍👍

[@techno4head]

Great review. Tnx. Bose for me..

[@coinraker6497]

That's a lot of coin buying both at the same time. You are committed S.P. :)

[@ignaciojerez2508]

Can you tell me the name of the song?

[@joaoque23]

A month ago, sondlink mini 2 was the "best speaker ever". Now it sounds "simply not good...hollow, simply not like speaker should sound" So, what can I believe? Revolve seems to have treble problems. Which one has better sound quality and better for personal listening?

[@Darklighter43]

You do realize that was a joke about the Sound Link Mini right?

[@philj745]

Ha ha that was an April fools joke! If you've followed Speaker Toni's Channel you would know...

[@joaoque23]

If it was a joke, this revolve review can be a joke as well. I am thinking of buying my first bose speaker and I don't know which one is better. I have charge 3 and I hate the muffled sound. I hope to have a better experience with bose, but these reviews don't help me. Revolve seems to have a strange treble. What do you think?

[@syedmuhammadkhalish6902]

jc ca dude if u think his reviews isn't reliable or whatsoever. Go listen to it yourself in real life in a shop or smth

[@speakertoni2680]

jc ca I make those videos to give people a good sound impression. So if you listen with a pair of headphones you should have an easy decision here and you wouldn't need to ask me... But if you want know, I think the B&O a1 is right for you as it has some nice treble and deep bass.

[@jaypeepasion]

Bose revolve sounds cleaner.and more power.

[@dteicher]

Hi friends Im travelling to US and I want to buy a bluetooth portable speaker under usd 500 priorizing hifi sound. The Bose Revolve + is the best option, or what else coud you recomend?? Tks

[@speakertoni2680]

dteicher you should definitely go for a Vifa speaker if your focus is on HiFi sound. Either the Oslo which is exactly 500$ or little Helsinki for roughly 400$.

[@dteicher]

Tks for your quick response, i'll consider it, but i think its not easy to find it in a store and i dont want to buy it online. Second alternative, more US based? Tks again

[@moonbeam5188]

JBL sounds much lass muffled. The Bose sounds muffled to me. I like the punch or the thump of the JBL and the mids sound better on the JBL also. JMO!

[@Labeilibfoflne]

I ordered Revolve + but in your video, JBL exteem sound better and louder.

[@loganver1488]

Revolve + is clean and great aound

[@Wosabi307]

No corecct test. Jbl no heave details in higest freq. Only midrange speakers , daily bass. No 360° Jbl it's only for teenagers. Bose heave details pease, real natural sound. I tested to live . Sorry don't spek eng. audiophill

[@kelvinsmith6854]

Use a proper sharp knife to cut things, you ruined the packaging

[@robertbodziak7612]

When you chop down another product you just told me to buy The ( JBL ) speakers.!

[@farhantanveer4535]

what's the intro song?

[@ScottsReviews]

Also revolve vs the B&o p2

[@seamusdelahunty1615]

why not quote price in euros?

[@trei2unu]

hmm I was expecting better sound to be honest. don't you have a small tripod? one of those table ones 6-8 inches, to screw the revolve on it

[@speakertoni2680]

Alexandru Simonescu I have one and I should've used it. I think you have to get used to the sound because I start to appreciate it more and more in time.

[@horvathdaniel3678]

Anyone knows the name of the song that it starts with?

[@Galaxylynx12]

19:39 what is tune name please

[@vishaldeep6922]

can i connect ipad air 2 with bose revolve?

Yes admit, I'm one of the fanboys of the SL mini DESIGN. :D

[@ウシジマ君-p5h]

win is Bose

[@jcb7707]

Anyone got static noise with their revolve plus when playing music in lower volume?

[@Rahul-dj1sk]

i m confused between jbl charge 3 vs bose revolve and revolve+

[@TheCorne87]

revolve+

[@tristanlauper5724]

rupesh mehta revolve +

[@АлексейГорбенко-н8й]

like the features, setup was difficult for some of my devices (August Door lock, kzbin.infoUgkxhB5YOMNj04GuoAosExygP4cH-dKeb4aB Bose speaker)... but all switches and outlets (5), thermostat, tankless water heater. Unfortunately all I can do is turn on/off Bose. It doesn't support volume or changing channels, but I believe that is due to the particular speaker I have.... Worth getting if you already have other devices to use it with... I don't sit around and ask Alexa questions much so that doesn't really matter to me....

[@hanseldaarol7383]

2:25 RIP xiaomi MI speaker. 😆

[@bencherian]

Bose revolve+ ✌️✌️

[@younusyounus3873]

Hello I want buy Bluetooth speaker wider surround speaker tell me which one buy please. thanks

[@coinraker6497]

Never heard it so not recommending it.....Harman Kardon Aura has 360 degree sound. Very unique design as well.

[@dimanshe1]

I say JBL sounds much better

[@MrHkstudent]

The 2016's BEOPLAY A1 was much better then these 2017's BOSE products

[@jps38]

do you mean the B&O A1 ?

[@MrHkstudent]

Same, actually it is call beoplay A1. www.beoplay.com/products/beoplaya1

[@jps38]

oh yes sorry , my mistake i got confused with go&play this beoplay A1 is the king of mini speakers

[@OttosAudio]

jp s Not really, it sounds very good, but the bass is a bit messed up. It gets uncontrolled very quickly.

[@jps38]

maybe you have a bad unit , mine doesnt get uncontrolled and the A1 is a doodle to eq , helping to get an even better sound

[@Mr_i_o]

Complicated packaging - wtf? No it is not at all complicated (few parts not many - check your definitions).

[@janleitgeb7367]

Jbl xtreme is better than revolve+

[@texmanro]

Test with the same track...

[@ravjohn]

The Bose Revolve is POS. It’s only use paper weight. Can stress enough to avoid at all over priced cost. One of the worst products and customer support experiences ever. I own three other speakers and all work without issue paired with any sound source. Not the Bose...garbage crap..

[@ghettoblasterboom9017]

Revolve + Ein absoluter Blender . 1 . nur mono 2. nur laut gut zu hören wegen fettem Grundrauschen. Ein Chip versucht aus mono stereo zu machen. Läuft leise nicht stabil. Total überteuerter Lautsprecher .

[@speakertoni2680]

Ghettoblaster Boom sehe ich nicht so, 1: guter Akku 2. echter 360 Grad Klang 3. Bass und Höhenboost für leise Lautstärken 4. beeindruckender Bass für die Größe. Meiner hat gar kein Grundrauschen, hast du selber auch einen?

[@ghettoblasterboom9017]

Ja gut hast Recht .Hab gemerkt : Wenn man am Zuspieler die Lautstärke voll aufdreht und dann am Gerät regelt klingt er gut. Er hat ein Problem mit schwachem Input .

[@ghettoblasterboom9017]

ja hab ihn zurück gebracht. kann mit mono nix anfangen. der aukey eclipse hat mich echt überascht . sehr schöner sound für wenig geld. wie würdest du den aiwa exos einschätzen? ich hab den aiwa cs 880 und überlege den exos dazu zustellen, da er doch sehr an den cs 880 angelehnt ist .
