Just got my Go+Play 3. And oh boy, the hype is justified ! 🎉 It sounds so good ! The bass is really clean, tight and qualitative. Mids and vocals are defined. And treble is nice and smooth. The slight highs peak I saw in some of your track analysis is nowhere to be heard by ear. For someone who hated the upper mids / lower treble of the Go+Play 2, this 3rd one is AMAZING ! And it easily destroy my Onyx Studio 7, which is far from sounding balanced now that some time have passed and now I've heard a lot more speakers. It's up there with Boombox 2 and Partybox Encore as my favorites speakers for indoor !

It sounded like the default was pretty well adjusted or level 1, of course also depends on the song, and it depends on how much has lost hearing:P It's true, those different eq adjustments could be done with a separate button.

Try adding a fair size peice of open cell foam over a tweeter or both under the grill. Or just EQ it down in the 6K - 9k hz range. Or Bring all EQ sliders down then starting at the bass low end bring the up and keep them all under the flat line. Most people add above the flatline. Try it you may like this method as I sure do.

Hi, I want to buy the Klipsch Groove XXL but there don't seem to be many reviews for it. Would you recommend it? It currently costs 250 euros. I'm looking for a bass-heavy speaker. At first I was looking for a Go and Play. But I read that the Groove XXL is even more bass-heavy.

[@dragosnacu]

They say it automatically adjusts to the surroundings. So this threesome EQ must indicate the minimum and maximum level of adjustment. It starts with default 2 and it can vary in between 1 and 3. So these min/max values are set in the speaker, but they are hidden because they are not meant to be actual EQs. I think it's difficult to measure if the default mode 2 is changing within those limits, since that would mean also changing the environment of the recording. Anyway, it's a nice and interesting discovery. World-class video, as usual. 😊

Good to see you back Alan...nice to be back from the little hiatus. It's the start of the speaker season...I'm sure there are/will be a lot of incoming in terms of new speakers. I'm curious to see what the Soundcore BOOM 2 will bring as compared to the original PFP Champion given it will have just one driver/speaker and two twitters. But it looks to be a bigger speaker compared to those of the original MB. I did sign up for the early bird. But frankly I want something Bigger and badder... that's why my sights are set in anticipation of a second generation MB+, whenever that will materialize. Hopefully before summer. Beach Time!!!😅 But I'm glad to hear Soundcore will be sending you a Boom 2..they better do so ASAP cuz in my view you nailed it when you crowned the original MB the P4P champ. Even without twitters that lil guy was punching way above his weight class. That's what I'd like to see with the second iteration of MB+...that is a speaker that addresses the shortcomings of the MB+ [ two bigger drivers (two of the drivers used on the Boom 2 or even better) and way more better twitters, better tuning, more power and a size increase]🤞

[@alanrossreviews]

i just think soundcore are a different company now, focussed on profit before value.

[@emmanuelnoel494]

Hopefully they get the right balance and don't stray from what made them liked or preferred by so many.

Might sound ridiculous but the sound actually feels 3d in many instances without losing focus in the center. 2. The bass is always there and audible no matter how low the volume. There is definitely some dsp trickery there but this is a great speaker for quiet listening. Has a satisfying sound even at low volumes. 3. It’s super portable compared to the HK Go Play 3 yet the bass feels more powerful and rumbly. I have only compared both at low volumes so far. 4. The in-app eq is smooth and easy to tailor the sound albeit not as flexible as Soundcore. Increasing the bass eq dramatically adds heft to the sound.

A month or two I noticed Go + Play 3 was on sale for $160 on the Harman Kardon website. So I thought about it and I thought about and before you knew it I thought myself right out of the sale lol. I need another Bluetooth speaker like I need a whole in the head (my mantra). But with that said I’ve been kicking myself ever since for procrastinating myself out of partaking in that DEEP discount. Anyway, after watching this video I decide nip over to eBay to see if I could find a decent deal on the G+P3 and to my surprise eBay is flooded with them. You can easily find this speaker for south of $200. Anyway, I didn’t procrastinate this time around. I was able to cop for $160. The End 😂

[@waynedexter]

Now I know why eBay is flooded with this speaker. Supposedly with a coupon from Groupon you were able to cop it for $128, which is insane if it’s a good as you say it is. I’m still happy with getting mine for $160 and can’t wait for it to arrive

[@alanrossreviews]

for me its the best value for a serious bluetooth speaker. it wont be the best for someone outdoors for long periods due to small battery, or party lovers wanting more bass punch or fake audiophiles wanting less bass, but for me its the best ive had so far ✔

Doesn't it worry you that at half price they could be Chinese knock-offs.

В Старой Зеландии есть блогер, который открыл четвертый скрытый режим эквалайзера! Если нажать одним пальцем на кнопку блютус и вторым пальцем надавить на сабвуфер внизу - происходит повышение средних частот и усиление громкости на 4 db! Режим называется "Пляжный", и работает только в версиях, изготовленных для США

yes but it wont reply to you 😁

@@alanrossreviews thats odd, so how can you hear ppl talk back to you during calls?

[@nebojsanestorovic1416]

I have found that the HK sounds best on a heavy glass table. Would it be safe to say that those three modes are really three volume levels for the tweeter ( tweet, tweet) amplifiers, while leaving the bass/mid untouched? Having played around with my mates (speaker) it sound like that may be the case. PS Thanks for everything😊

[@alanrossreviews]

nope because it turns out volume down and bluetooth button adjust the bass 🤣

go play 3 all day long. blast doesnt have the quality in the bass that the go play has and bb3 is more of a party speaker.

If you can't hear any difference, does that your ears are bad or your computer speakers suck?

Don Alan Ross Reviews hay una Frase que dice: " GRANDE ES AQUEL QUE PARA BRILLAR NO NECESITA APAGAR LA LUZ DE LOS DEMÁS ". Se debe compartir el conocimiento de una forma honesta, leal, sincera, me parece incorrecto que usted se exprese de tal manera hacia otro youtuber que también trata temas relacionados de altavoces, pienso que para ganar suscriptores y generar visualizaciones para que KZbin pague por dicha publicidad y ustedes cómo KZbinrs ganen dinero no deben jugar sucio, este campo es muy abierto y hay para todos pero sin desmeritar el trabajo de nadie como lo haces en este vídeo pasando por encima de otro colega tuyo que tratan el mismo contenido de altavoces, la competencia no son tus enemigos más bien aprende de ellos, seguía tu contenido lastimosamente no me gustó este video, no pasando por encima de los demás para conseguir tus objetivos y observé el contenido del otro youtuber al que usted nombra en el vídeo lo encontré como Pro Audio su contenido es muy bueno e interesante aunque se nota que esta empezando en su canal tiene un contenido excelente...pienso que debes una disculpa al canal del joven....pero igual esa debe ser tu decisión. Dios te bendiga 🙏
