In this video I take a listen to how the Marshall Willen compares to the Bose, Tribit, and Sony micro speakers. There's definitely some winners and losers here! The Sony basically falls flat on it's face with extremely low noise, but also the best battery life. The Tribit and Willen compete closely for best sound, but ultimately I like the Willen the best. The bose just sounds meh.

[@DannyPops]

👉bit.ly/39o6Ih2 - The Tribit 2 is available on their website, so I went ahead and ordered one to check out.

[@michaelmarmion648]

I bought the Willen today and it’s an amazing little powerhouse, it’s easily the best small speaker I’ve ever bought or heard for that matter and I’ve had many from JBL to Bose and others, it’s not cheap but you get what you pay for, to have this much thump in a speaker you can put in your pocket is unreal. Go Marshall

[@waynedexter]

I have the StormBox Micro and I have to say that it’s a really good speaker. It produces really good sound, especially when you consider its small package. The only issue I have with the SBM is the battery life. I was lucky if I got 4 hours out of that puppy. That’s why I decided to upgrade and get the second version. Not only do you get way more battery from V2 but it’s also a smidge louder. I do a fair amount of bike riding and the SBM is my constant companion when I do.

[@ericmartinez4897]

I absolutely love the willen. I had been using the bose micro for 3yrs now and needed an upgrade. Now this is my pocket speaker I use for work. All day. Love the design, the feel, and most importantly the sound.

[@DA_BOID]

Thanks. I drive for Amazon and my delivery vehicle doesn't have speakers. This review helped me pick the xb13. It costs less than half of what the competitors do, and outputs 5-7 watts which is half of what the competitors do. Buying 2 of them, I still payed less than buying a Willen, got the same amount of volume, and stereo sound. Your sound test really helped me out here. Thanks again.

[@aycanaydn1371]

Marshall is the Marshall. I am not gonna buy the speakers which has usb micro port and looks 20 years old design. Marshall is like a art design and really awesome sound quality.

[@EaglesTime]

Its also $120 compared to tribit at $50, marshal is definitely the best looking, and it will get some ouuuuu’s and Ahhhhh’s but after that, it’s overpriced

Willen is about twice as expensive as the Stormbox, and marginally better in sound quality and aesthetic. So Tirbit's a no-brainer for those with limited budget.

[@Deivy_84]

I paid $30 for the sony is awesome. Love it

[@sunnynair2441]

I am using Marshall Willen It's a great speaker with zero sound distortion and soft bass

[@AMIGA79]

Unfortunately the Willen has an absolutely horrible peak at 5 KHz. 10 db is no small thing, and it makes it impossible to hear the Willen on axis. Off axis as if placed on the table or floor it sounds more neutral, more refined than the Tribit. You're using the Tribit Micro 1st here. Gen; the 2nd Gen sounds better, more natural and slightly better mid treble section. The Marshall would be really great with the feature from the Bose Flex that automatically adjusts the sound to the positioning and with a better option to adjust bass and and treble. Marshall maybe release an update because treble around 5 and also at ~10-12 KHz is just too annoying. If all speakers cost the same, the Tribit Stormbox Micro (2nd Gen.!) is my very first choice.

[@spurcusgodman]

I love your reviews. You should start vlogging as well

[@ktk7235]

Brilliant thank you. I already have the bose and I will stick with that. I was surprised at the bad sound of the Willet when it was on your desk, you picked it up and the sound was then great, that looks like an issue? The Tribit sounds very tinny. The sony, I wouldn’t waste my money, a shower speaker sounds better.

[@S.khan.123]

Compare these with xsound go?

[@metalerosLGBT]

El Marshall Willen va genial y encima ahora esta rebajado de precio en AMAZON!

Base on the sound quality, the BOSE is the most natural and pleasing. Although lacking in sensibility and impedance.

Any updates on a new micro speaker that maybe is smaller? Ideally one that can easily fit in the chest pocket of a jacket and not weigh much

i think if you get any smaller than this then you are really running into tiny sound... at that point your cellphone will be good enough I'd argue.

How do you think the Willen compares to the B&O A1 Gen 2?

[@ericmartinez4897]

Man I own both the A1 and the willen. just got the willen and I absolutely love it. The A1 is just a tad bit bigger and heavier. But the A1 is my go to personal speaker. the clarity is amazing with way deeper BASS compared to the willen. But for the willen size it has decent amount of BASS and very clear sound. Either one of those babies are great but if I had to choose, the A1 blows it out.

Why do different speakers sound different on different channels?.. i guess souund depends who is the sponsor .. like on this channel generally the winner is .... yes you guessed it right

[@DannyPops]

The problem is that it's subjective and even through the equipment. I'm using a cardiod mic that is highly concentrated in the cardiod pattern so you hear less reflection. Coupled with many other elements like bit rate, encoding on h264 for video and KZbin compression. It's a fallacy to think these are sponsored and somehow its rigged. Plus i buy most of these speakers, this video has no sponsored content.

Don't buy BOSE products, I have the same one. one day it's stopped working i dont know why ? and service center says we don't repair our products, we give you 20% discount exchange offer which offers we already got during the sale or festival season, the means they don't repair bose product itself. so each time we need to buy a new one after one year warranty. so don't buy. who gonna buy the same product again at the same price. BOSE is just doing business and doesn't care about customers after selling.
