[@tonysmartguy]

As an audio engineer it's hard for me to be satisfied with any home speaker because I subconsciously find myself comparing them to full setups (which I have to stop myself from doing). Surprisingly, the srsxb12 is completely satisfactory for me as a carry around the house speaker...I bought two to put on either end of the house lol. It's also super cheap. I said all that to say it's weird for me (coming from a professional audio standpoint) to really give jbl the high ground but after watching a few of your videos I will say that as far as home speakers go they have that area covered better than most... not so much in professional quality though lol...I will never miss an opportunity to call them Junk But Loud lmao

[@finkelsteinshitkid1299]

@@fridaysforfuture2158 hi there. I just purchased one over the w/end and while I like it for certain music, for classical, there’s just too much bass, and an obvious lack of balance between the mids & highs. I don’t mind adding to the speaker with additional Sony speakers if helps to balance sound, but not sure if that’s just going to further the issue if the other connectable Sony speakers also has an imbalance to them. What would you recommend if price wasn’t a factor? Thank you in advance!

Hi Flossy I wonder why we cant adjust the EQ on this Sony like I can on XB41 also I know most people watching your video like banging base, me too but would be interesting to hear what some vocal would sound like now these speakers are improving every year. Keep up the great reviews.

[@uzielcc]

Es de tomar en cuenta los códec que estamos acostumbrados a usar en dispositivos Bluetooth. ¿Por qué los dispositivos Sony tienen un sonido más claro y nítido? Por el códec de bluetooth LDAC que permite una reproducción en bluetooth de alta fidelidad, de alta calidad. En cambio JBL con el Boombox 2 solo permite el códec SBC que no es malo pero solo permite hasta 328 kbps, mucho menos que un CD convencional. Pero eso no quiere decir que el sonido del JBL sea malo, NO. Al contrario es potente y eso lo compensa. Mi comentario va hacia las personas que quieren saber porque el sonido es diferente. Es por los códec de audio que utilizan las diferentes bocinas bluetooth, o los códec de audio que permite tu teléfono Android o dispositivo de reproducción.

That deep JBL BOOMBOX bass kicks the sonys XG a$$ ! I‘m so glad i bought the boombox 2 a year ago, i use it so much outdoors with friends and it sounds so damn good! :D

[@egroovesoldschoolmusic7171]

Hey Flossy, Does how many wats a blue tooth speaker has, determine how much base it has? Some friends say yes, some say no. What do you say? I was surprised to find out that the JVC I had back in 1990 had only 40 wats, and it could rock my bedroom. The thing I don't know now is, does it take more wats now to rock a room? Please let me know.

[@audioman6007]

More watts don't mean more base, your jvc from 1990 would have been made in japan and would have been built to last and not built to be thrown away like we have today with Chinese made products. Many factors to consider when needing base, bigger base drivers and a bigger box will help get the deepest base, put the stereo/speaker next to a wall or in a corner will help to get more base, the lower the speaker is to the ground will make a speaker sound more base heavy, raise the speaker to ear level is usually the right balance, for less base and more mids and treble, raise the speaker above head height. The more you raise the speaker the less base you will have.

[@relentlessundrdawg]

So I recently purchased this speaker, and the sound is amazing, but the mid tones have to be adjusted with your phone settings and app. But is seems to me that Sony did this purposely. Now when I paired this speaker to the XB43, the sound is epic and flawless. You get the clear midtones from the XB43 and the deep, deep bass and acoustics from the XG500, and it sound is like being at a concert. I feel that they did this purposely for the party connect, and it works. If you have the side to side setting on your phone, it sounds much better that the wide surround sound also.

[@emmanuellopez852]

Yo how would you compare this speaker to the Soundsteram Street Hopper 8?

[@vitalysamonov3399]

the boombox has clearer Hights but does some have better bass ? especially at lower volumes and on bass boost.

[@volcalstone]

Yo Flossy, are you playing these from the same source and device? I know every phone sound different as well on how they handle audio output. You should've compared it to the HYPERBOOM as well. That's the one I really want but it's never on sale. 😁

[@voodooman7387]

Is it possible to adjust eq settings through phone app, but play off of aux source? For instance I only want low bass frequency coming from the Sony speaker.

I have had both speakers, personally I prefer sony just because of the customization they give you. I picked mine up for $300 flat, which I thought was a great price.

[@rishabhpandey3609]

Love your reviews, man! Please help me sort out couple of these confusions. So, I'm pretty much into debate, amongst these speakers, Boombox 2 and Hyperboom. Definitely I'm looking for a clear, crispy and most natural sound but then the bass at lower frequencies shouldn't be compensated. Which one do you think can deliver better my needs? let's not bring their prices to the decision! Secondly, it seems here in India, the Hyperboom has gone out of stock, and can't expect it to arrive back, im anytime within 3 months. So, if I go with Boombox 2(owing to its availability better ) , does that seemscompensating with the sound quality in any manner? Or should I be biased enough to hold on, until the thing arrives back? Third, does the Boombox 2 really does drop the vocals and that sound signature, around higher volumes, say 80 percent? And lastly, if I were to listen, around 50 percent volume, which one would you suggest to vibe out? Do, you think if I won't make it to Hyperboom, there'd be lot regret about?
