JBL Charge 5 Vs Sony SRS - XB43 : Which one Should you BUY?

[@svartfrost9978]

Most people also forget that the Sony XB43 has software for lights and soundsettings on the smartphone where you can make the xb43 more suitable for certain musicstyles. Therefore it is probably one of the best BT speakers out there

[@nareshkeswani80]

Yes completly agree with that when had done complete video review on it have shown it all

The saxophone notes are incredible on the Sony compare to the JBL..

[@dagg497]

Tested the JBL extreme 3, Charge 5 and XB 43 at Mediamarkt. I must say the difference of the smaller and larger JBL wasn't that big. The JBL has alot of bass but lacking in mids and has a high pitch treble that left my ears tired from It. The Sony has a much more musical If not more relaxing tone response IRL. What was surpising was the sound spread oattern! The JBL had 40degree sound cone before it dropped of by 50%, whereas the Sony had a 90degree sound cone. So the Sony is better for entertaining a few friends on a blanket in a park I would say. The JBLs bass is a bit much in the park aswell 😅

@@naumanmirza7 why would carrying it on a plane mean that I'm playing it on the plane? See, planes do this thing where they take you on trips to far away places, like for a vacation in the mountains or a tropical island for example. I know it sounds crazy to you that anyone would ride a plane to get to a vacation spot but I assure you that people have done this at least a few times before. And it also sounds crazy but portable electronics were made specifically to be portable so you can take it anywhere. Weird, I know. Don't use up all your brain power thinking about all of this.

[@bobantalevski352]

Loud and bassy is not what everyone wants, certainly not me. I will have to hear them both in person, but JBL sounds so clearer, Sony's sound seems like it's coming from another room really :). It's like when you walk into a bar and while you are at the front door you are hearing the Sony and when you enter it's JBL. Sony's bass is way too boomy for my taste, while JBL has a tight and clean bass, which is the bass I like. Listening on Sony WH1000XM3 headphones, so I don't have anything against Sony, but it's hard to understand how can this Sony sound so muffled compared to a speaker a third of its size. Guess you get what you pay for, given their price. If only the JBL had that 3.5mm jack, it would've been a done deal for me.

[@JokobZuma]

Hi, I had the same thoughts as you, well i got the xb43 and you can truly change every aspect of the sound, the default values heavy nass over clarity, you can change that in settings

[@bobantalevski352]

I heard them both in store, but didn't get to messing with the settings. In the end, I went with a third option Marshall Stockwell II which was a bit more expensive but it's worth it in my opinion. Really love the bass and midrange of it, plus the design and the bass/treble knobs sealed the deal for me. Oh and it has that 3.5mm jack which is getting some use already.

To be honest Sony has better sound quality and a bit Lauder 10w extra speaker. But if you are looking something portable to go to the park or camping, definitely go for jbl due to fact that Sony speaker is so heavy that at the end you won’t want to take outside. (Better bass JBL)

[@pranavn3684]

I think sony is better overall Because *We can customise sound of sony but not in jbl. *Sony has support for Ldac,most of them says we can't here a difference but its not true. *Sony is cheaper than jbl atleast in this case *Jbl need an app to pair as stereo but we can do this directly from a sony speaker it has a dedicated button for this. *And the lighting which most of them dont care but ya its there if u want. *Sony speaker look good than jbl(personal opinion).

The xb43 comes with an app (jbl does not) where u can eq the bass down or mids and highs high. He used extra bass mode, for less bass u can always turn on stamina mode which volumes the basses down for a bit, also resulting in a much better battery life.

JBL Charge 5 is the most powerful speaker among all speakers with the wight < 1.5 KG. I believe it could have been built more efficient if was stereo, had an Aux in. I only wonder how 15W speaker could have a loudness comparable with 30W one? It seems the size of sub and tweeters matter the most. It seems the size of sub and tweeters is bigger in the Sony one.

Nice Review, and yes the Sony is better, in pricing and performance. If comparing by pricing the Soundcore Rave Neo can compete also with JBLCharge 5 and may beat it in sound/bass performance, for Rave Neo ( $99) is 50 watts, and has EQ apps. By customizing the sound through EQ Apps my Rave Neo easily beat my Xtreme 2 and for the price, i pair the Rave Neo with Flare 2 ( $69) which does the partycast(wirelessly synchronizes speakers) which enhance the sound of Rave Neo which blows my Xtreme 2 out of the water LoL and not to mention the great light display of the two.
