Alan Ross Reviews Top Picks:
Pound for pound world champion:
Soundcore Motion Boom: geni.us/motionboom
Amazingly deep bass to 40hz for its size and price.
For a leaner more agile sound with similar deep bass for the same price try the Mifa Wildbox
Still worth a look:
My former world champ the Soundcore Motion Plus can still offer great clarity.
geni.us/soundcoremotionplus
£50 champion:
Great bass for its size, Soundcore Boost: geni.us/soundcoreboost
A little bigger but a decent listen for the price ($50) BOGASING M4: geni.us/bogasingm4
Bass Heavy Speakers:
Harman Kardon Go+ (mid and upper bass heavy but with decent balance): Play geni.us/goplay
Onyx Studio 6 (warmer than the 7, maybe too bass heavy in balance): geni.us/onyxstudio6
Bag of Riddim 2: not much deep bass but dollops of mid and upper bass help to give a warm and open sound. A good fun listen but not so accurate in reproduction. geni.us/bagofriddim
Hi End Picks
Minirig mk3 2.2 system: geni.us/minirigmk3
Great for portable low deep kick: Onyx Studio 6 (more bass than Onyx 7): geni.us/onyxstudio6
Monitor Like openess and neutrality but lacks deep bass Audio Pro C3: geni.us/audioproc3
Travel Speakers:
Marshall Stockwell 2: geni.us/stockwell2
offers a decent immersive sound with full and tight bass. Beware though it does not go very loud
JBL Charge 5: geni.us/jblcharge5
Only mono but has a very clear and dynamic sound at low volumes and can go reasonably loud but will become a little screechy over 80%.
Bose Soundlink Flex: geni.us/bosesoundlinkflex good bass heavy sound for its compact travel friendly size.
Denon 250bt, no longer made but sets the standard for size/quality ratio for travel (battery drain issues)
JBL Flip 6: geni.us/jblflip6 louder than the Bose Soundlink Flex and has better highs (though too much, bit harsh) but not as full sounding as the Flex.
Best Micro Options:
Bose Soundlink Micro (warm): geni.us/bosesoundlinkmicro
Tribit Stormbox Micro (clinical): geni.us/tribitstormboxmicro
Worth a Look:
W-King T9: geni.us/wkingt9
The T9 is a reasonably loud and balanced party speaker with a big bright detailed sound.
Budget Loud Boombox: no clear winner but my pick for fun outside listen would be:
W-King X10-1 for form factor and loudness geni.us/wkingx10
W-King D9 for bass with a little smoother signature: geni.us/wkingd9
Alan Ross Reviews, probably the best reviews in the universe :)
JBL Xtreme 3 or get the cheaper Mifa Wildbox?

Is the JBL xtreme 3 more powerful than these 2 speakers ? Is it really worth the cost to invest so much money in it ? (great video, +1 subscriber from France 🇫🇷)

Hey Alan, great channel. I know not relevant to this video but…I’ve just bought an Onyx Studio 6 for £220 AND a Citation 200 for £255…! I’ll have to send one back, have you tried the Citation?? Reading lots in the comments on your videos and other similar reviewers about the Citation being better than the OS6!! I did buy the Soundcore Motion Boom from Amazon for £62 as per your recommendations, for the money it’s fantastic but lacked clarity and the floor rumbling boom boom!! I currently have an Onyx Studio 2 which I love but one of the legs has snapped (twice!) and I really like the grey colour on the new ones (sad I know!) and feel like treating myself. The portability of the Citation seems pretty cool with the charging dock you just plonk it on and if the deep low bass hits as good as, if not better than the OS6 then I think that’ll be a winner!

[@alanrossreviews]

well i havent tried the citation so cant really help. but if its deeper than o6 it must be a bit special.

I’ll give it that) Surprised the JBL extremely priced 3 can go 100 Watts on AC (That can’t be right can it??) Love to see that sexy pound for pound Boom in the back. Another great video as always 🤪🤪

[@alanrossreviews]

well dont know how they measure it and its not just about watts. end of day we know mifa can go slightly louder but with mains lead in xtreme 3 is a couple of db loder. if mifa is 60 watts and doubling power gives about 3db more than yes it does tally with 100 watts.

[@thatboyneedssomemilkholemd819]

@@alanrossreviews Oh I definitely agree with you Alan, was just more so shocked. Didn’t know it did 100 watts plugged in.

After watching all your videos about mifa wildbox, I decided to buy it and to be honest I was very surprised, especially that the loudspeaker goes down "maybe only with me" from 40hz, this is epic 😱😱 You can get so much bass from such a small enclosure, it's amazing !!!! Of course, there were also good medium and high bands. I sincerely recommend it, a successful purchase. There is only one major problem with this bluetooth speaker. Is it possible that your mifa has no bass at all?!?!? . I'm rushing to help. If you have Android, it could be a common Bluetooth volume issue. Just configure the bluetooth volume settings to adjust the volume of the speaker and phone separately. I had such a problem at the beginning and I had to use an audio jack cable because I didn't know this method back then. Thank you and best regards from Poland, Mr. Ross

[@alanrossreviews]

first thing i do with every speaker is make sure the volume is 100% on the speaker itself before controlling form my phone. greetings from the UK 😁

[@alanrossreviews]

probably close 👍

[@Grommet2007]

BTW, I'm nerdish enough to run the sound sample tests through Room EQ Wizard's RTA app set to use my PC's "Realtek Stereo Mix" input to get an idea of how low these bluetooth speakers really go. The RTA suggests that the output drops like a rock below 50 Hz (at least, based on the sample music), but that's still pretty good for boxes that small. Would love to see how they handle music that really taxes how they handle bass at lower frequencies than that. You know, stuff like DeadMau5's "When the Summer Dies" with its prominent 45 Hz bass or even Cristoph's perhaps appropriately-titled "Out of Reach" with its 40 Hz and 34 Hz bass tones. Does the speaker's electronics adequately deal with the stuff that the drivers have no ability to actually reproduce, or does the overall sound turn into an unholy mess? I guess I'll have to buy one of them and find out for myself.... :)

less bass heavy already has me worried 😫

[@Grommet2007]

@@alanrossreviews I'm a little worried too. But not too much. My old Sharp QT3 boombox (Lord, I'm dating myself now!) had an FR that seemed to slope upward from about 100 Hz (and nothing below), but guess what - it was great for rock music when placed on the ground and listened to while you were sitting or standing about a few feet away. The combination of the few dB gain from ground plane use and listening to the speakers off-center instead of directly in line with them seemed to "adjust" the overall frequency curve quite nicely, at least to my admittedly less critical listening tastes at the time (I used to listen to Saxon, Black Sabbath, Judas Priest, etc) . Other boomboxes sounded quite dull and boxy in comparison. If I do pick up one of these boxes (and I'm really leaning towards doing so now), I'll be measuring it under the same conditions, before I do the mods that I'm planning to do to it (btw, thanks for showing that the front grille is easy to get off, giving access to the drivers and subsequently the inside of the speaker!).

@@udim7284 FWIW I'm on my second Wildbox. My first one did not survive being plugged into a dodgy USB 3.0 charger. And as luck would have it, my second one managed to attempt suicide by jumping off the bathroom counter all by itself. It was damaged internally and I had to take it apart to put it back together, but you'd never know from looking at it that it suffered some internal trauma and it still sounds great.

[@snowqueen7968]

The Wildbox looks interesting… 🧐 I think you pay JBL prices for things like warranty and customer service, as well as the product it’s self. Always good to know there’s a budget option though! 💸

[@Maplicito]

You definitely pay JBL prices for the JBL name as well. This happens in car audio as well. Other brands such as Hertz are higher performing for the same money, but those brands tend to only be recognized by people who spend real time in the car audio world, whereas your average person going to a big box store, and paying for an install will instantly recognize the JBL name, so JBL can get away with that brand name markup, and a brand like Hertz can not.

[@snowqueen7968]

@@Maplicito Yes this is so true, you have to pay so much to have JBL speakers in your car 😫

Thats a good point about what goes into a retail price. It includes some research and development that is missing from companies buying off the shelf ready to go products that just require some branding and marketing. How you doing? When we gonna see some reviews?

[@alanrossreviews]

I guess this is much the same with most products we buy. There is a comfort buying something with a name you know.

[@Maplicito]

@@alanrossreviews for sure. When I was doing my car audio, I took the time to know my brands, so the JBL brand recognition didn't have any pull. With these bluetooth speakers though, JBL did have a fair bit of pull because I am not as familiar with them. Even being familiar with Anker, I wasn't familiar with their sound products line, so had it not been for reviews (and some of your reviews were among the ones I watched), I would have just gone JBL instead of with the Anker Soundcore Motion+ - or I might have gotten the Motion Boom and been frustrated with the latency while watching video!

[@gregx3322]

it lacks here Anker Souncore Boom with custom equalizer setting - still probably best value for 2022. Mifa is 1/2 of JBL price, but Anker is 1/3 of his price, and emuch easier to buy. Maybe in next episode You add also this popular Anker ?

Sorry for the late response, did not see this video for some reason yet lol. So as you see, clearly those have the same drivers. This "mifa" speaker did not deliver anything special here, most people still prefer the xtreme 3. They thought that buying the same drivers, putting it in a way way cheaper plastic cabnet with a handle just like the motion boom, it would attract more people. So no, it was a fail. And i bought my xtreme 3 for 190 dollars so deals like that would be prefered any day of the weak than the other garbage that is worth the price and you get cheap crap. You did call me a jbl fanboy, i wouldnt say im a fanboy, im just realistic about things, and i know what most people like in the portable audio world. The numbers do not lie. You own even more jbl's than i do probably, so im not the fanboy for sure 😮
