Is Brane X Really Worth the Hype? My genuine feelings.

[@DannyPops]

UPDATE: The Price is $499 now and my code "Danny" gets you $50 off. (i don't currently get anything out of this)

[@dr150]

Your code isn't working...

[@josephhodge5387]

So I disagree with you about the robot voice. As a blind user knowing the battery level, etc., is super helpful. A lot of times even if they have an app, they don’t make this stuff accessible to us!

[@TheLifeGuards]

It’s fine to have a voice that tells you, but THAT robotic sounding voice sounds cheap, annoying, and like something bought off Temu.

[@Grommet2007]

Damn, that Brane X sounds so much better than the others. The difference is very noticeable. Just compare it to the original recording! The price difference is also very noticeable as well :-). Good explanation of why it can produce more bass btw - because of the driver design, it requires less power to provide the same quantity of bass at low frequencies as a regular speaker. Peak output however will still be dependent on how much air the bass driver can move.

[@meeacct]

I ordered one with the code, many thanks. Found out about this while skimming speakers for weeks. It'll be interesting to measure performance against others.

[@DannyPops]

thank you for using my code! I hope you enjoy it!

Have you tried this on 3.5mm aux with a DAC and hifi streaming? Had great results myself.

Thanks Danny for another informative video. I’d heard about this speaker while listening to kutx from Austin, Texas, but when I saw the price, I didn’t give it a second thought. Watching and hearing your review was just great.

[@prithvi9727]

Any innovation, me love ✔️ Thanks for pointing out the annoyances. What is the maximum optimal volume for this speaker? I think I should have one 🤔💭❔

[@MrVolksbeetle]

That clip at the beginning, does the whole thing really move like that? If it does, that is surface exciter territory. They can be awesome, but are completely dependent on the type of material they're sitting/attached to. I have sever different versions and styles of them and even use a couple attached to foam insulation panels as my front channels. 2' X 2' on each side makes for an ultra wide soundstage.

[@faisalcsat3301]

Hi Man, Bose Flex 2nd just launch few days ago🎉. Kindly need your support to review it and compare it with the 1st Gen. Especially for the sound quality❤ Thank You Best Regards

[@lileggymusic]

I love your videos keep it up

[@djijspeakerguy4628]

To me, the podcast sounded terribly muffled on the Brane. I prefer my Harman Kardon Onyx Studio 5 over the Brane, and I own both. What sets them apart is the treble: I hate the treble coming out of the Brane. And for some reason my Brane X does not seem to make much sound below 50 hz, and has too much mid bass. Maybe there’s something wrong with mine??

[@djijspeakerguy4628]

Actually I think my ears are warming up to it. It’s a different sound for sure and works for different genres, but it isn’t bad by any stretch and has a warmth to it. Not a flat sounding “audiophile” speaker by any stretch, more designed to sound good to the average listener, as most of these “lifestyle” products tend to be.

[@retrothruster2539]

I have one and agree 100% with your views, especially the buttons (or lack there of). Great work! I'll be watching Brain in the future, just some fine tuning on this design and it'd be darn near perfect.

[@kevinboles3885]

The buttons are not buttons. If you let go of that, you have no complaint to make. They are capacitive, like the interface of every phone made in the last 15 years. Sheesh.

[@retrothruster2539]

@@kevinboles3885 Yeah but you're looking right at a lit up screen, makes it much easier to locate, especially in low light. Call them buttons or whatever you want, it's a spot to press to operate the speaker. The power button or whatever you want to call it on the rear is my biggest gripe, you don't push buttons on the back of your phone while you are using it. The reviewer said said the same thing as me so I trust you'll share your thoughts with him as well. Great speaker though, never said it wasn't, just could be better. Nice trolling btw!

[@leightaylor806]

Yes, it definitely sounds a lot fuller and bassier

[@captaindiabetes8492]

For the jbl xtreme 4 was low frequency mode on or off? I'm debating going for it because a friend of mine is selling a lightly used one for $220 and might go for it. Thanks in advance!

[@nikehusk3849]

Good sound is not always about the bass. No sibilance and smearing on vocals, crisp high-hats and shimmering crash cymbals are benchmarks too.

[@renemeloo]

Many people say it is expensive, really if it were just a box that plays only sound but it is a smart speaker with Google and Alexa, another issue is its proposal for defined and compact sub-bass. Now come and tell me, does the Phantom have Alexa? Is it cheaper? But obviously if the Brane were a little cheaper it would be encouraging.

[@LarryRichelli]

I have to wonder who is going to be the first one to get two Brane X speakers and join them and do a video on it.

[@alexlittig7927]

Why did you test at 17hz at the beginning. Even if the brane could do 17hz it would only do it at a lower volume level. All you were doing was stressing the woofer. You should of tested it from 20-30hz. That is where the brane X shines vs other speakers. At least the 40hz test showed the brane x superiority a little.

[@DannyPops]

I just wanted to explore the range.

[@alexlittig7927]

@DannyPops I just got mine. Bass is decent down to 30hz then it rolls off quick. But the bass it does have it crazy impressive. It's got about 80% the bass my phantom II has. No other speaker i have ever tested has given the phantom II a run for its money like that. At volumes under 50% the brane X wins with better low volume bass adjustment but after 50% the phantom II keeps increasing its bass faster than the branex so 80% the phantom II is much louder with more impactful bass. Phantom II also goes about 5 hz deeper rolling off below 25hz. For almost $1000 less than the phantom and the fact it has a battery makes the brane x a way way better speaker

[@renemeloo]

Also, it has Google and Alexa, I think the phantom doesn't have that, right?

[@AudioFroggy]

I'd argue that while the brane does roll off around the 30 mark, it still tries hard enough below that point to where those out of range frequencies still get decent representation, even if it may be more of a rapid thud noise than clean sine.

[@alexlittig7927]

@AudioFroggy i was hoping for some clean bass down to about 26hz or so but oh well. I guess it's decent giving the $499 price tag. My phantom II can do clean bass down to 25hz but its also over double the price and no battery.

I can confirm this speaker is a legit sound bar replacement, you can pair up to 8 in stereo and each one outputs 200 watts on battery. The company has grown immensely in the last year and the X is worth every penny. Cant wait for them to release more speakers that focus on pinpoint directional highs with special electrostatic drivers. Brane isn't just a one off company, they are shaping up to be a true pioneer in audiophile grade portable speakers.

[@TheLifeGuards]
