Soundcore Boom 2 Vs JBL Xtreme 4: Battle Of The Best Portable Speakers

[@TimmyInTarky]

Wondering why does the Boom is presented with its bass booster on, but the JBL didn't have a bass-boosted or a (spotify or any other player) dynamic EQ preset selected. This feels like a waaaay too unfair comparison. No one listens to Standard EQ

[@tmike_official]

@@TimmyInTarky I agree with you, Xtreme 4 sounds clearer and boom two does not, because it has bass up 2.0. Seems to be unfair

[@wiperart5792]

@@TimmyInTarky what is unfair? To give a head start to a speaker that costs $100, and not one that costs $300? 🗿 Don't forget that this is a function that simply turns on on the speaker, the author hasn't even gone into the equalizer yet

I own a charge 5, the Extreme 3, & the BB3. Yes, they do perform better indoors being placed near a wall.

[@jedolivier2688]

Now, if weight & size aren’t an issue, the W-KING X20 is the way to go for outdoor use. It’s rated at 200 watts, comes with a customizable 10 band EQ with 5 or 6 slots for different custom EQ settings. Now, for the best part, the sound quality, in particular, the sound quality at the loudest volumes. At volumes of 80-100% it never sounds strained, distorted, or shrill. It just gets louder & louder. It’s able to do this because of its LINEAR volume stage. Its volume will gradually go up in baby steps across the volume range. This gives you more dynamic headroom, especially at the loudest volumes, with very little to no distortion.

[@jedolivier2688]

I own the Boom2 & the EXTREME 3. I’ve watched comparison videos between both & it somewhat isn’t a fair comparison. The EXTREME 3 will leave you wanting more in battery mode, only putting out 60 watts. Once you plug it in, you’re getting 100 watts. While it’s plugged in, the EXTREME 3 sounds much better than the Boom2 even at max volume. I have trouble recommending the Boom2 to anyone because it just really doesn’t sound all that good. It lacks midrange detail & clarity for outdoor use. To me it just comes off as a kid speaker.

[@3DModelsToys]

@@jedolivier2688 The problem with all the JBL speakers is that they are all predictable soundwise they are too light sound and lack deepness and involvement which in this case the Boom 2 is the king.

[@robsonmasaya8834]

I have both and i prefer the JBL over soundcore being muffled sounding at times. Just my opinion, music is not all about bass, quality comes with the right balance, clarity and crisp. If youre looking for bass focused unit, as mentioned on the review, go for soundcore otherwise take JBL for more natural sounding device. Again this is just my opinion.

@@alexanderthegreatish4079 I own the EXTREME 3 & only use it inside while it’s plugged in. I just recently purchased a Boom2. All I can say is that you do lose a certain amount of midrange separation when using outdoors. It performs much better indoors. This is due to the fact that the midrange is produced only by the single racetrack woofer located in the center of the speaker. As opposed to a traditional setup consisting of 2 drivers & 2 tweeters. It all depends on your use case. Indoor or outdoor listening, or both. If you plan on using it in both environments, you might want to reconsider getting the EXTREME 4. For indoor use, the Boom2 should do just fine.
