The Charge 4 and Flip 4 sound really good together. Better then the Charge 3 and flip 4 combo since you get deeper, more realistic bass and cleaner overall audio.

I just got the xb31. It sounds really good for jazz, instrumental hip hop and synth wave but it sounds meh for rock and metal. I've tried all the settings and played around with the equalizer. Will the charge 4 or megaboom 3 be better for rock and metal?

[@jblbasstester6198]

Christopher Ashley-Smith the Megaboom will sound dull as it has no deep bass, just a 10db boost at 130-150hz. The Charge 4 sounds pretty natural, but doesnt go as loud. If you got the Money, i‘d buy a Minirig Mini with Sub or Vifa Helsinki. If not, get the Xtreme 1. For Metal is is pretty ok imo. And costs around 150€, so cheaper than Charge 4.

I have a JBL Pulse 3 since July and although is the most expecnsive of the bunch, no other speaker will leave an impression like this one. The sound is amazing, the battery as been very good, getting around 1 to 2 weeks of normal listening (2 hours per day at around 40% volume) and that light feature is just to good. I am beeing 100% honest, when I tell you that what you are seeing in the video isnt what you are seeing in reality. The lights are bright abd the paterns go with the music so well, it is just amazing to watch.

Why do you include the xb31 if the Xb30 sounds better? 🤔

[@fa14bi-78]

He said that the Xb31 is better

[@natskar]

That’s wrong actually. When I listen to music on the XB31 I get left and right channel sound, same as when I game with it, I here things on the left on right separately, and you think it had less clarity because you had it in extra bass mode. It was an unfair comparison

[@jabadahut8420]

Compared to like the Boom for example the XB31 will never be as clear as it, but I do agree with you

[@KamiKaZeJeremy]

this is what i call a professional review

[@AlexeMazzz]

But not professional sound comparison.

[@victorviau49]

I’m hesitating between the megaboom or the flip 5 to grab it everywhere I go

[@victorbrites8708]

Charge 4 seems very boomy for me. However, an EQ can solve this problem to achieve a more neutral sound. There I reduce de mid ranges and increase the 8k-20khz and 40- 80hz, where seems to be a deep. Charge 4 lakes the sub bass and air frequencies. But of course we are talking about mid speakers, not monitor speakers.

[@Mikey-bh1fi]

What about motion plus

[@odorouswo1f]

My best mid sized speaker is the Charge 4, and that is never changing.

[@anilmural2971]

How many watts is sony srs xb30

[@fa14bi-78]

2×25W, 30W RMS. Let the Sony play in mono, and you will get a higher speaker excursion, the other one would be just an passive radiator with half the excursion.

[@emeraldplayer1128]

Because i own the xb31 i can safely confirm that the speaker plays in stereo and not in mono, that means that the two woffers dont play the same audio all the time, if the song you play is stereo and if you are transmiting stereo via bluetooth you will get some kind of stereo out of the speaker and on some songs its noticable. *Jbl fanboy* Edit:Also i use the xb31 and xb41 daily and i can say that using 2 speakers the wpc is really good and i rearly get errors.

[@karenlangan4540]

Should I get 1 charge 4 or 2 flip 4 ??

[@bodingushingus6732]

doumacacpan 2 flip 4, the charge 4 sounds very good but since it only has one transducer it’s gonna have no stereo separation, plus if you’re going camping or something you take both speakers and only use one at a time, and swap them when one dies

[@DragonSkaterrr]

charge 4 in my opinion, its more fuller, more battery etc

[@trevorwalta5697]

[@nicks732]

Where’s the flip4

[@PimGames]

At the sound test

[@jorjorwel664]

You are right but you didn't quite get the prices right because xb is much cheaper than you said and charge is much more expensive than you said. You may think that it's small problem but people may choose their speaker from your review and when you don't take into account almost 1/3 price difference it's really bad for your channel because they might think that you have some collaboration with JBL or something like that...

[@supercarsofwichita9485]

He didnt get the prices wrong

The boom 3 only goes to 85 hz. I tested it myself the boom 3 is a little better then the boom 2. The ue boom 3's. Bass usually disappears at max volume with distortion.
