Bose Soundlink Max VS JBL Xtreme 4 VS Marshall Middleton | Who Takes The Crown??

[@mickeyavi515]

Bose has been king of sound for years, but falls short at the end towards other speakers. And JBL sounds loud and deep but sound gets piercing and unpleasant at times, and also what keeps me from purchasing their bigger speakers is that they keep changing their system of how you can link speakers together..leaving you to having to buy new speakers to adapt to their system each time. Marshall sounds clear deep and their linking system makes better sense better sound and looks amazing. It’s time for a new king to rise! Marshall all the way!! Great review.

[@Ervytron]

afaik, the auracast isn't just a JBL link, it's united for everyone, and it should be the last ever. The partyboost shouldn't exist at all, since cmon, connect+ was fine! Up to 1000 speakers it was, but nah, JBL needed money! More money! More power! Yesterday, I listened to Xtreme 4 and Marshall Middleton, and Marshall played my low bass track (38Hz, subbass) way better than Xtreme 4, and it's even cheaper and smaller a bit I miss 2010s JBL

[@giangle1996.]

If you listen to the 100% Volume outdoors test carefully the Bose is the only one of the speakers to retain any sort of meaningful bass in relation to the mids and highs. The two other speakers you can tell right away that the bass is being dialed down to achieve that level of loudness leading to a very artificial sound. That being said, Soundcore Boom 2 is the way to go lol. You can buy three of them for the same price of the Bose.

[@FatherTruckerr]

my friend has one of those, i have a bose soundlink max, guess who's we prefer (its not the soundcore whatever 💀)

[@giangle1996.]

@ have both and the Soundcore when you use the in App Eq sound almost as good as the Bose, it’s definitely not as good don’t get me wrong but at 1/3 of price it shouldn’t lol.

[@ericmartinez4897]

I just got the bose MAX over the weekend and this speaker is unbelievable for the size. Worth the xtra money it costs if u care bout high quality sound. Bass is very deep and clean. No gimmicks just pure outstanding sound. The middleton is impressive at low volume levels but a mess at high because the bass gets lost. The xtreme is overrated. The only speaker i have that performs just under the MAX is the soundcore Boom 2. Its so so close. The boom 2 sounds unbelieveable for the price. But the bose sound quality is just in another class. If u cant afford the MAX , i highly highly recommend the soundcore Boom 2. But U DO have to adjust the EQ in the soundcore app to ur likings. Its makes it sound 10 times better than out the box. The bose doesnt even need its app. Sounds just right out of the box.

[@jedolivier2688]

If you're looking for a TRUE outdoors speaker, then the obvious choice is the JBL EXTREME 4. It has a crisp, clean sound with mostly upper bass, as opposed to low bass, which will drain your battery quicker. Once you take & use a speaker outside, it loses certain sound characteristics, meaning that bass isn't as important outside as it is inside. Last but not least, it has a longer battery life. The battery is also interchangeable, meaning once the battery is completely dead & doesn't charge & or work anymore, you can swap it out with another battery, as opposed to buying another speaker.

[@CEONTHEMAKING]

Valid points. Outdoor acoustics are much different.

[@rsolsjo]

I've got a Middleton and I'm delighted with it. For $250 I think it's certainly worth it. The only thing it can't do is true stereo, you can pair several together with Stack mode but they'll all play the same thing. Minor qualm though. I think it's the PERFECT size and portability while still packing a punch, and you don't have to fiddle with any apps or cables, and the sound is really perfect especially for portable listening situations - at a party or barbecue, drawing, cooking, listening to podcasts, in the bathroom, etc. Doesn't replace a full blown party speaker or sound system though.

[@66skate]

The Max sounds very good with pretty good stereo affect. Adjusting the EQ makes a big difference. Some bass distortion was noted at high volume. Lowing the bass setting and bringing up the mid and treble made quite a difference. My only complaint is not being able to stereo pair. Bose doesn't even say when that will happen.

[@Gravity_Ghost]

Not a stereo effect. It's real stereo with a center tweeter. The bass distortion you hear is due to the limiters that come on to 1.) protect the drivers and 2.) conserve battery life. That's on purpose. Why would you want a stereo pair two stereo speakers? Because of the configuration, you'll lose all stereo imaging with two of these running right and left mono. The drivers in the product are physically spaced to phase the audio in a certain with the signal processing.

[@66skate]

@@Gravity_Ghost Technology should allow to create a left right pair for stereo instead of 2 mono speakers. The other stuff I know. I worked for a speaker company most of my adult life. Pairing is coming at some point for the Max.

[@Gravity_Ghost]

I'm not sure how to respond to that. It's strange logic. My point is that pairing two stereo system like the soundlink max doesn't make sense for STEREO music because of how it's made. I think Bose calls the pairing "party mode". Maybe that's a more apt name than "stereo pairing." Just more music in the room. That's great.

[@66skate]

@@Gravity_Ghost What I'm expecting is when the update happens, enabling party mode will put one speaker into a left channel and the other into a right channel to create stereo. Not 2 speakers both playing stereo. I don't think that would sound very good. Amazon has had this for years, If they can do it, Bose surely can. The Amazon Studio speaker is a stereo speaker with multiple transducers same as the Max does. When you group them as they call it on the Alexa app. they switch from stereo to left/right channel speakers. In the Alexa app, you can also control each EQ and volume settings as well as it telling you which speaker is left or right and the ability to switch them if desired.

[@aguano]

@@Gravity_Ghost This should be no problem at all. Anker Soundcore x600 (being a stereo speaker) does exactly this: When two x600 are paired, one speaker only plays the left channel why the other one plays the right channel. And it's really amazing, it sounds *so* much better than just having two mono speakers (aka party mode).

[@Gravity_Ghost]

A few clarifications: this is a real stereo speaker. There are three drivers: two full range speakers arranged to increase stereo perception and middle tweeter to land the stereo image where it should be and sharpen the image. This is a real stereo speaker. Max volume is the worst place to test any amplifier, speaker, or other audio equipment. There's nothing to learn from max volume. In the case of battery operated speakers, max volume is the place where limiters come on to protect the drivers, ampfliers, keep temperatures low (especially if your outside in the sun), keep the battery safe (HUGE deal) and extend batter life. Of course the sound quality diminishes at max volume! Lastly, if you're going to mic a STEREO speaker, make sure that the STEREO mic is placed in a place where the phases of the right and left channel won't do strange things as the waves propagate out into the room. That is to say that in this case, your "captured" EQ will sound different depending on the distance from the unit. Each speaker will be different. Your video is unfortunately completely subjective to your setup, and is NOT an apples to apples comparison.

[@CEONTHEMAKING]

There's no substitute for hearing the speakers in person.

[@108mtsan]

Doesn't the Soundlink Max have 3 transducers, 2 passive radiators and a tweeter? Also how many watts is it? And what is the battery mah? I'm surprised a speaker the size of the Soundlink Flex is only 3100mah when the smaller JBL Flip 6 is 4800mah. Hoping the Soundlink Max has a much bigger battery.

[@Gravity_Ghost]

@@108mtsan The two passive radiators are taken into account but act as physical stabilizers as well as radiators. The energy used in passive radiators is created by the two main drivers, which are large and power hungry! The main reason to use them is to not have speaker dance around. It rounds out the sound nicely when done correctly. The battery I believe is ~4800mAh typical. But don't get the wrong idea about battery size and play time. All of that can be manipulated and affected by power supply, amplifier, and the flavor of DSP implementation. Larger batteries for smaller units can also mean there are a lot of inefficiencies to overcome to get to the play times you want. IN the case of the soundlink max, it sounds like they've made things pretty efficient because the playtimes are longer with a "smaller" pack. The smaller battery pack is usually an economic decision. More cells = higher price on the market. But with Bose, they look at a battery cell and try to suck as much as they can out of dynamically-- meaning it's not about the watts, but how much current they can source to shape the effect desirable to the customer, which is mostly bass. Bose's competitors don't put the load of managing the battery on the DSP, which means they have to have headroom for inefficiencies, which means larger battery. This is all to say: don't judge a speaker's audio quality and play time by the battery size. It's way more complicated than that.

Finally! Bose Improves it! "The lower Bass!" however, still lacks of high treble and slight bass boosted.

@@108mtsan You have to get the right tool for the job. Music speakers and PA speakers are different for good reasons. Using Bose as an example, the soundlink max and S1 Pro+ are even close to acting the same.

@@nethbt 1st comment that makes total sense you know your stuff 👍

[@duduv-54]

Marshall is the winner in terms of sound dispersion. The Bose and the JBL sounds so mono. Sorry Bose but 399 dollars for such a speaker like this new one, it's seriously overpriced !! (and the rope carrying at 45 dollars is an absolute shame). Thanks for this comparison. Very usefull :)

Glad it helped!

Did you listen to it in person, or just with this video?

[@MG-ce3dx]

I heard all 3 the other day ,Marshall in real life sound flat ,and doesn't have same bass deepness or crisp clarity treble..Bose and JBL p1isses on Marshall😉

[@GunthiHammes-ub4he]

Mhh i would say that the Marshall sounds a little more warmer and natural then the JBL or the Bose. Bose is quite boomy and JBL is more Bass and Treble oriented. But yeah, the Bass in the JBL gets lower, 45hz. So that's a difference. Still I wouldn't buy JBL- in my opinion it's just a party sound and the Marshall sounds more mature.

Great review. I'm a Bose Guy BUT at $400 and looking like a purse. I'm going to have consider other options. It sounds good but not at $400.

[@shoerice5083]

You gotta hear that in person to conclude such a thing 😂

[@jasonokogho4300]

I agree 400 is way on the high side. Too many other options right now.

[@jasonokogho4300]

@@shoerice5083 people who are fans of bose from the beginning don't even need to hear it first before they order. We the fans know this is on the high side already.

JBL all the way

[@LeesReviews69]

I have these speakers: two soundcore x600s, two Bose Flex’s, a JBL Boombox 3, a UE Boom 3 , and a little Clip 4. Is there room or a need or a particular sound/bass I’m missing that I should get the Bose Max? How similar is it to the x600’s?

[@anivmusic]

I have owned many Bluetooth speakers in my life and the Bose max for the size beats them all out there. I have a UE epicboom currently and a hyperboom and honestly sounds better than the Epicboom. One he missed to compare here on the review.

Bose clear sounds 9:45 ❤

[@Robertas-u5l]

for that price, buy jbl bb3, it costs 300€ cheaper than bose

[@Achtonio]

My second jbl speaker with same problem. It shuts off by itself for no reason. My last one had the same issue. I’m not buying jbl again.

[@Mr_Dodu.]

Sonos 2 or bose max ? I hesitate 😔

[@user-do2yj5rr2k]

Bose Max is portable, if it's the Sonos I think you're talking about, that speaker needs to be plugged into the wall. Unless you're talking about the Sonos move which I think is portable. But ya I would love to compare the Sonos move to the Bose.
