I had sony xb43 ,the sound is loud and clear,even the fullest volume xb43 gives you very relaxing sound ever. The battery is incredible I always use in70- 90%volume.everyday and I guaranteed wholeday until evening xb43 is still working. I love the lights,you can change anytime,the sound can be change from extrabass to livesound mode. So cool

[@demboyz4082]

whats xb43 sound wattage?

[@Gamerlingual]

Hi Alan. If I already have the Soundcore Motion+, is it enough in terms of overall audio quality vs the Xtreme 3? I find the in sound the Motion+ to be plenty loud and the bass is solid enough for such a small speaker. I'm very impressed by it, but wondered about getting the Xtreme 3. I don't think it will be worth 200 pounds or in my case, $200 USD anytime soon.

[@thefattmatt]

The only upgrade you’d be getting from the Xtreme 3 is more bass. I would stick with the Motion+ if I were you.

[@alanrossreviews]

the bass on the xtreme 3 is different level but they are really different speakers. the extreme 3 is a boombox party speaker and the motion plus is an all rounder but more of a window than a party speaker.

Gotta see em in person. I believe the jbl maybe finally outperforms a sony speaker but the difference is probably so negligible. The real thing im jealous of is that strap.

you want something with really good dynamic range. it would also depend on volume, for example charge 5 has good dynamic range at low volume but that diminishes with volume.

[@geebee3974]

I just picked up the XB43 for 115GBP. Could that be the best speaker at that price point? I thought of swinging for the Xtreme 3 but it's not available in Canada, and it would most likely be 50GBP more expensive at this point. The Xtreme 2 is currently 30GBP more and much older than the XB43. Wishing this is the "one" for me. After returning a Bugani M90 and Monster Adventure Force on Amazon, I just thought you really get what you pay for. Those 2 really lacked depth and I got victmized by the shill reviews on Amazon.

cant say best but its decent value. the rave neo same price range and can do great things with some eq.

if i am not wrong this is the 3rd time you use xb43 for a review,,,,first time this speaker was almost a trash according to your review,,,,very happy that xb43 is STILL battling hard,,,,,,for the reference i use 2 xb43`s in stereo mode,,, YOU HAVE TO TRY THAT COMBO,,,,,my regards

[@alanrossreviews]

i am a real world reviewer, no unbox, review then throwaway reviewer. you cant judge a speaker without living with it and i try and point this out. its not a perfect speaker and could/should have been better but i do use it daily, it forfills a niche. very safe sound with big soundstage but never great. so yes i have changed my view over time. 👍 only have one so never tried stereo.

[@alanrossreviews]

btw i never use default, always in eq mode.

[@iafextremeways18]

I'm a bit complicated with the decision ... The truth is that I'm not a basshead, I prefer the channels to be cleaner (but not lose the sense of the bass), I've already seen many reviews and I can't decide which one I want. I don't want it for parties, I want it to move from one space to another inside the house. Understanding that, I want it to sound good from electronic, rock, clasic music, soul, jazz. Of all that you have tried so far, which one could be useful to me?

[@stochy8344]

Did you finally purchase? I'm in the same decision 1 year after, and cant find a xtrem 3 in market's to compare, does the clarity and quality sound of xtrem3 is a step higher ?

[@iafextremeways18]

@@stochy8344 yes, I bought 2 ankers soundcore motion +, but 1 year later, maybe the new Sonys, new soundcore it's a best option for money and sound. But if you have discount or something it's a best option, the sound is amazing. The mids sound very clear, voices proyect so good(woman's and men's), basses sound good x2, if you buy 1 the sound only decrease. With one o two of them(soundcore) one room of 12 square mater complete all the space, and a pool party its the same thing.

[@deepsky8858]

I think bass are almost the same but the x3 have a bit more treble and sharp sound while the xb43 has more clarity especially in your custom EQ and also have more reverberation which may be due to the lower treble, at 100% volume the xb43 had cleaner and more relaxing sound than the xtreme 3 which I think is important when listening to music for a long period of time.

Whoa. I didn't expect this guy to be the nerd showing charts and talking about codecs. I had to watch 5 videos from guys who didn't know anything about audio before I found this one! I really like the JBL, but it's pretty ridiculous that they don't have AAC or AptX. I can maybe tolerate that since it has an aux input ... but they actually removed the 3.5mm input from the Charge 5, so I don't really like the direction this is going.

[@alanrossreviews]

DJ in da house 👍👍👍 to be fair turns out xtreme 3 does default to aac on ios. But yeah £280 and sbc on android! seems aux is a thing of the past for a lot of these big brands. but there is always minirig who will give you a pair of aux ports and they work both in and out.

In the last part of the comparison when volume is set at 100 the xb43 is actually better than the xtreme 3 both plugged in and on battery, the treble and brighter sound on Xtreme 3 which seems to make it more appealing at 80% volume and below now made it too sharp and uncomfortable at 100% volume especially when you are very close to the speaker, while the sb43 is well balanced at 100% volume and now have more treble probably due to the slightly reduced bass imo.

@@alanrossreviews I'm thinking of 2 XB43s for living room 20 x 20 ft cube.. no fing way splash for 2 Xtrm3s... With good EQ setting and fact there would be 2 of them i reckon I would be happy? I absolutely love high level sound designed detailed electronic music and have been using 8 inch monitor KRK rokits for a few years ,,, it might be a step down in soundstage ,,, or has been using monitors in this room been a fools idea (I got them because thats what the producers use to hear the details and I reckoned, if they are 8inch in this size room it will fill it..)

[@Bootrosgali]

OK I just read you haven't tried two at same time..

[@GGARC1A95]

which is better xb 43 or LG PL7 ??

[@alanrossreviews]

Xb43 for bass, pl7 for sparkle

Is the Sony very loud indoors

define loud

[@DJunclepaul2nd]

"I do use this on a daily basis". XB43. Ummmm ... I seem to remember you not being too positive about this in a previous review... I will have to go check, when I have the time. I believe it was when you tested it against its predecessors

[@alanrossreviews]

yup, its not perfect, it never sounds great, its heavy. but its a lot cheaper now, has a big soundstage and a very safe sound that sounds fine with most genres and tracks but never great. its an easy listen and i only use custom eq.

Can you change the jbl on usb ?

not without a clever mod, it needs 60 watts.

did you watch the video? 😂

I know is an old video, but right now the Sony bx43 is 150 dlls and the Jbl extreme 3 is 380 dlls

whats the question??

Its overpriced garbage with reduced bass for high volume. Passive driver that barely moves.

The sony xb 43 actually is 160 watts and jbl xtreme 3 is 40watts/50watts

I am a fair man, I am the owner of an XB43. And to be fair it sounds good, but the Xtreme sounds nicer

[@alanrossreviews]

Fair

[@darrenwipf9868]

The sony sounds ten times better whereas the jbl is so harsh i cant stand it

[@wilsonpio7075]

I don't get it. When this video was recorded it was a difference of US$100 I guess. You're comparing a US$350 speaker with a US$250...

Do you need to get it? You could simply not watch? 🤔

[@nareshningombam47]

The more I watch your video, the more it seems you are biased..every one knows extreme 3 has a brighter tone (which at times produces shrieking high) while 43 has got more weight in terms of sound output..now what you are doing here is messing with 43's eq and disturbing its mids and high by overdoing lows and at the same time keeping Jbl stock output at its best (cos it can't be change no in built eq)...sorry mate not buying...

[@shaymcquaid]

I bought 2 xtreme 3's to replace my pair of xtreme 1's that wont stay connected. The xtreme 3's are just as bad. Plus the xtreme 3 sounds no better than the xtreme 1 at typical listening levels. its funny how no one reviews the speakers in pairs. Returning the 3's

[@alanrossreviews]

Maybe cause that would double their costs?

[@shaymcquaid]

@@alanrossreviews Not “maybe”😜 However, 2 sound way, WAY better than 1. When they work it’s awesome. The stereo imaging is very detailed and spacial. Also: Video idea for you...Cheap pair vs. single premium. Cheap pair will win.😛
