The thing about bose is that they always manage to pack a good punch on a small package. Everyone else seems to be required to build their speakers bigger.

[@Hyper1555]

Well call me crazy, but I am in this small niche of wanting great sound quality, volume, bass but also the smallest footprint to take it with and also water and dust proof to won't worry about anything at the expense of budget haha. Very impressed with the speaker, especially for it's size!

[@HammoTechReviews]

In that case this speaker is an absolute must buy for you 😁👌

[@Mr_Dodu.]

Hey there. I wanted to know if you guys can also hear a white noise when the soundlink max volume is at 0. Volume is at 0 so there’s no music but I can hear this white noise. Doesn’t bother me but I just want to know if this is normal behavior. It’s very low volume. This is probably normal speaker behavior when it’s not complete quietness when volume is at 0. i have Never had a speaker this size. Thx

[@HammoTechReviews]

I don’t remember mine doing that but it is definitely possible. I’ve heard lots of speakers in the past do this, probably nothing to worry about

[@TSKewl]

The Bose sounds clearer.

[@goofyfoot2001]

Yeah, that and the music is horrible. Some audiophile jazz would have been a better choice.

[@HammoTechReviews]

@goofyfoot2001 you wanna hear bass or not?

[@bigpatt8372]

Can you play better music next time?

[@bigpatt8372]

Bose sounds cleaner and holds its own against a speaker Twice its size

[@nathansalazar6775]

I just wish the Soundcore had dust resistance.

[@Clayspeed]

The Bose sounds a bit hollow. The spread is a bit wider, but the Soundcore sounds more dynamic with much better bass. I returned the Bose for its distortion with heavy bass. For me it’s still between the Boom 2 Plus and the Tribit Stormbox Blast.

[@HammoTechReviews]

Would be great to get my hands on another Blast to compare them!

[@Jagistreviews]

Also the dbsoars f29 max is an amazing speaker and runs you around 140$-150$

[@bigpatt8372]

The soundcore is more than twice the size, silly comparison my friend.

[@HammoTechReviews]

But it’s £200 cheaper? It’s not like I’m comparing a speaker that obviously going to be better than the Bose. In fact, the Bose should be double as good as the Soundcore, size is irrelevant

[@bigpatt8372]

@@HammoTechReviews size is very relevant. You wouldn't compare a large suv to a small sedan would you?

[@HammoTechReviews]

@@bigpatt8372 If they were the same price, ofc you would...

[@bigpatt8372]

@@HammoTechReviews lol Ok compare a Chevy Corvette to a Cadillac Escallade. Same price, but makes no sense to compare.

[@HammoTechReviews]

@@bigpatt8372 You’ve chosen a massively different comparison deliberately! Be sensible. These two speakers are not worlds apart from each other. They are both outdoor portable Bluetooth speakers, they are intended for the same job! To put it in terms you might understand, it’s like comparing a Range Rover to a G Wagon, YES the prices are different, YES they may be different sizes. BUT they are made for the same job, so yes of course it’s worth the comparison.

[@mxz2024]

in that price category ,the teufel rockster cross or jblx xtreme 3/4 win. even the marshal middleton is a better pick for the price than bose

[@jedolivier2688]

One of the best values in portable OUTDOOR speakers in its price range would be the W-KING X20. Is it the best sounding speaker? Maybe not, but at the louder volumes, it performs better than most, at a fraction of the cost.

[@migks37]

You forgot to say in YOUR OPINION.

[@jedolivier2688]

@@migks37 Actually, what I just said is very factual. I own one these speakers, so I can personally speak on it. Name me a speaker that does just as well or even better, for the same price.

[@impalerss13]

It’s pretty good. plus sounds muffled and mid bass only at best

[@jedolivier2688]

@@impalerss13 If you engage the bass boost it muddies up the mids & highs. With bass boost off & the 10 band EQ tuned properly, it sounds really good, even at max volume.

[@papayspeanut]

I returned my Bose and ordered the soundcore, the Bose was distorting constantly even on stock EQ. Any bass heavy music and it would distort hoping the soundcore doesn’t do the same but at half the cost it will be hard to beat

[@Hyper1555]

Distort?! It even has sub-bass! One of the best on bass, even with his size! Very impressed! Just don't turn it above 70-80% for normal listening and I have mine - 4 bass and upped the mids and highs to balance the excessive bass (which is great for outdoors)

[@papayspeanut]

@@Hyper1555 it is overpriced, distorts. Bose did not even try to trouble shoot mine they just took it back. I got my first soundcore last night and it sounds great for the price. I had to order another one last night on amazon for stereo pairing.

Bose is small beast very powerfull speaker and clarşty
