Marshall Middleton Vs JBL Xtreme 3 Vs JBL Charge 5

[@lewis02mc]

Commented this on the Middleton review but I may as well paste it here too. The Middletons driver setup is actually a little different than how you described it. The dual woofers actually fire out the sides while the tweeters and passive radiators shoot out the front and rear. Definitely an unusual setup for a speaker like this. Also, the Middleton can in fact be paired to any other Marshall speaker that supports “Stack Mode” (Emberton II and Willen) Multiple reviewers have demonstrated this working here on KZbin. Engadget also posted a review on their website at the end of January stating that they were able to pair two Middletons, an Emberton II and a Willen in a stack session. In order for it to work your phone should only be connected to one Marshall speaker at a time (the main speaker that the others can then sync to) from there you start a stack session in the Marshall app and then double press the Bluetooth button on any other stack enabled speaker you wish to add to the “stack”

[@hanspeter455]

The Stock/flat EQ on middleton ist Bass 5 and Trebble 5. And the woofers fires out of the sides.

[@frozengamer3030]

There all great speakers. You can’t go wrong with either

[@GYMCADDY]

Exactly. It depends on your needs

[@id_is_null]

Cool review and comparison! You can connect as many Emberton 2 and Willen as you want to Marshall Middleton. With or without the app. I have all these speakers and it works.

[@yuzhouxie9394]

Middleton and Emberton can be stacked. It was demonstrated by the sales person.

[@adventurealive2581]

U have set EQ very low in Middleton.. You only promoting jbl

[@TheAscendedTechNinja]

The Marshall Middleton sounded good against the Sony speakers since there weren't that impressive to begin with. The sound signature is really warm to the point it starts to sound muffled in a way. The JBL'S doesn't sound that impressive in there stock EQ in person but in comparison to the Middleton they just sounded a lot more convincing. Honestly the only speaker I could recommend for the price is the Charge 5. It packs such a powerful punch in a small form factor while actually sounding good at the same time. The Xtreme 3 has always been a good speaker but 380$ in my experience it's a rip off at that point. The Partybox Encore,110 isn't that much more expensive and other speakers such as the Soundcore Motion Boom,Boom plus,Mifa wildbox,Tribit Stormbox Blast you can get 2 of thoes for the price of one Xtreme 3. And the Xtreme 3 still hass overall better build,looks and portability and has a better sound then most of them its not worth that much more. Also you say the Xtreme 3 UCB C Charge in and out can be used as a wired connection? I tried it and besides Chargeing my devices nothing came up. But in general I still found this video useful on gauging how the Marshall Middleton sounds👍

How About Boss Mini Series Bluetootj

@@dexterbarituaalisoso4580 I never heard of that speaker before

[@jedolivier2688]

You can use the EXTREME 3 in A/C MODE. The speaker has to be fully charged before you attempt to do this,if not, it'll continue charging, with the charging battery light staying on. Once it's fully charged, & the battery charging light goes off, you're in A/C MODE. Hit the power button, & pair your phone to it. It really is worth doing. Especially, if you're inside. There's no sense in using your battery, when you don't have to. Don't worry about overcharging, that was an issue with the older models. There's a built in IC circuit that detects when the speaker has been fully charged. Once it is, it uses A/C power from the wall receptacle. In battery or portable mode, you're getting roughly 50-60 watts. In A/C MODE, you're getting the 100 watts that you paid for. I hope this helped.

[@TheAscendedTechNinja]

@@jedolivier2688 The Xtreme 3 isn't 100 watts JBL just advertised that bs power rating for more buyers. And I didn't have to pay for my Xtreme 3 since JBL sent it out for me to review a couple year's ago and they cut me off afterwards since i didn'twant to pay to send it backplus it was more profitable. AC mode works all the time when it's plugged in but I still don't really use it anyway. Thanks anyway tho

[@carwashgaming3727]

​@@TheAscendedTechNinja it is 100 watts when its plugged in

[@slmyatt]

Bought the Charge 5 on sale, sounded so good I bought a second Charge 5 to pair in stereo. Sound separation and imaging great. But... The Xtreme 3 went on sale so I exchanged. Xtreme 3 did not compare to two Charge 5, so I exchanged again for same two Charge 5. Local Best Buy best way to find what works best. Back in my sound garden.

[@SVladimirjb]

I have the same dilemma! I have a charge 5 and es looking to buy the Extreme 3 to upgrade. I see they just released the Extreme 4 so now I'm debating if getting the Extreme 4 or get another cheap Charge 5 to pair two in stereo. Thoughts?

[@AP__]

@@SVladimirjb i feel like if you get the Extreme 4, you might as well get the Sony Ult Field 7 instead: its only $20 more being that it went on sale.

[@alonzoperez1969]

It seems you have the marshall in lower volume because the jbl charge 5 sounds louder??

[@jen_jakub]

louder doesn't mean better bro, the Middleton is not that loud as extreme I would say. but it has def. better highs. and Middleton is have more full audio, that's why you think that charge 5 is louder

[@alejandronuno9829]

Another great comparison, keep up the good work 👏.

[@GYMCADDY]

Thanks

[@kosflorin]

Which one has the best bass ??

[@daveledonio5793]

I already thought JBL speakers are pricey but then there is Marshall.

[@jasonMB999]

Im taking charge 5, straight up

[@GYMCADDY]

I always say it, but the charge 5 is great

[@marcofeier2615]

Well little update. The marshall speakers ALL link up in stack mode . Doesn't matter which ones even the Middleton and the Willen pair

[@alexovsianycoff6556]

Only 3 smallest. All speakers “above” Middleton don’t support stack mode. Unfortunately.

[@The.JZA.]

I think the Charge 5 needs +1 bass, -1 mids and no change to treble and that sounds the best.

[@Fungusmynutsj]

Thanks

[@clayinosaint3964]

Wrong!! You can actually paired the emberton and middleton speaker..

[@michaelklein23]

Already ordered the Middleton but after this video kind of doubting my decision. Both Jbl speakers sound louder at least listening to them through my AirPods Pro 2 (don't know how accurate the experience is). I had the Bose revolve+ 2 and was pretty satisfied overall (I know a lot of people would disagree but it's a fun speaker imo) but want a new bt speaker with type c charging as the Bose is the only device still with the old usb. Avoided Jbl cause had two flip 4's in the past that had the worse experience with regards to battery life and they were barely used.

[@remmykoora7038]

Haha youre gonna get disappointed just return that shitty Marshall. Marshall speakers have a joystick like power button and if you use it often its gonna get stuck like my Emberton. I bought a Marshall Emberton and after 3 months the button stopped working imagine

[@PM606STATIC]

Song tittle please im thinking which one i almost bought the middleton but the extreme 3 is 220usd here in my country so ill go with extreme

[@eliazarperez3585]

Jbl for the dub, but marshall just needs a few tweaks and I think it can't really be a match for jbl on their portable speakers

[@duffdabsduffdies]

In terms of durability, I have to note that while the fabric wrapped body is very scratch proof - the JBL logo itself is very much a scratch magnet.

[@GYMCADDY]

That is a good point. My charge 5 is starting to get scratched up there.

[@duffdabsduffdies]

@@GYMCADDY not that I'm suggesting you demolish every unit you ever review, a mention of that type of durability would be appreciated as a note in future reviews. An Xtreme 3, for $380 full MSRP, getting dinged on the logo would probably bother some people. Mine doesn't bother me, but I'd imagine some people would be upset when it happens (quickly) to them.

[@ervinvelasquez3614]

My extreme 3 has a scratch on the Jbl logo and at first I was kinda bummed out but now I look at it and tbh it kinda looks bad ass 😂 I’ve had it for 2 years now and she’s cranking out tunes like new. That being said I do take good care of it. Except that one time a friend of mine left it inside his trunk and it got a scratch

[@AnnaAssa-px8rh]

how much deference sound charge 5 or extreme 3.big deference?

[@Mingzhe583]

Can you do charge 5 versus XG300

[@dnabiologic]

Just tested them today. Marshal sound clearly best. With treble setting to 7. Why 3 here ? that is to lower the high frq without reason. And why test them on different sound levels, The number is less important than the pressure of the actual sound.
