I’ve tried most of the battery powered speakers….bose….boss….mackie….alto and the everse 8 but this Everse 12 is a different level to them all. Powerful,wonderful app,great effects and lots of bass 👍🏽

[@guitarstreet]

Thank you for sharing your experience!!

[@joshporettimusic]

Great review and comparisons 👌

[@guitarstreet]

Glad you liked it

[@J2daA2daC2daK95]

Awesome video, love the review and a really comprehensive comparison, thank you!!

[@guitarstreet]

You're most welcome!!

[@JayaLove]

What a great review!! I love your realistic sound test. Also the musicians are so endearing.

[@guitarstreet]

Thanks so much Jaya! Glad it was helpful. Yes they really are... my dear busker friends in Singapore!

[@JHGurganus]

Hey man I just wanted to take a second and say great video and great comparisons you did. Thanks for taking the time!

[@guitarstreet]

Thank you JH. Your comment made my day. I'll keep working on videos like this!

[@walterlaracy3003]

great review, watching from Newfoundland Canada

[@guitarstreet]

Wow! That's a distance away. Nice to meet you and glad you enjoyed the review!

[@andreichekaev]

Hello! Thank you for your video. What do you think about KORG Konnect???

[@f8274]

Insanely good video with livetest ourtdoor, great! many thanks for this great effort. I am a DJ and for weddings etc. I use the Everse 12 for outdoor receptions. Later indoors I have a more powerful system on the dancefloor. With Bose and similar speakers with only full-range speakers without separate tweeters, I always miss the clear highs. The Everse 12 sounds neutral in a positive sense and everyone can set it up exactly how it sounds best for them. For me, that's plus 2-3 dB for the treble, which is enough for a beautifully resolved and very detailed sound.

[@guitarstreet]

Insanely kind comment. Thank you Oliver for sharing your experience!!

[@JamesRonstadt]

Great review! Wondering what it would sound like with a harmonica & backing track🤔 Thanks for posting 🤙🏼

[@gabrielsimmy]

Thanks for the chance to try the best busking setup I’ve ever used! I cannot go back anymore 😢

[@guitarstreet]

You are awesome Gabriel!!! We will listen to you sing without any speaker anytime

[@user-uw6zp3no8s]

thanks for the review! p.s. look for your voice and your tones)

[@vinnyjr7029]

Ps The singing and playing was really good by you and your friends too.. Thank-you For uploading this very helpful video 🔊🎶🎼✨👍😎💭🎵💜👍👍

[@guitarstreet]

Thank you very much Vinny for your kind comments and encouragement. That keeps us going! All the best to you!

[@karlpresley]

Hi thanks for the great vids! How would the EV 12 sound against the JBL eon1 mk2? Can I ask which one would sound better busking, solo singing to Elvis backing tracks. Which speaker would have the better sound quality in your opinion? Thanks, regards.

[@guitarstreet]

I don't have experience with the JBL. But I can say you won't go wrong with the EVERSE 12, if you don't mind the weight!

[@user-ei3jg8mn7r]

WOW! Thank you for this amazing review! I'm going to buy this speaker but I'm not sure to make party with it. Do you guess the power is enough to make a small party with 50-100 people with two Everse 12 ? The 12" bass enough?

[@guitarstreet]

Definitely enough for your needs - I am 100% sure!

[@vinnyjr7029]

Excellent video. Loads of good quality information. Thanks for posting 👍 😎 Ps Have liked and subscribed Cheers bro 😎 👍 ✨ 🎵 🎶

[@ardayldz3669]

Bro what a good video

[@guitarstreet]

Thank you very much Arda! So glad you appreciate it 🙏🏼

[@user-vb2mc8lx2e]

It is best when you have the speaker on a speaker stand. I have both speakers I have two bose S1 Pro plus and the EV 12 I like both of them you’re doing much bigger shows the Bose pro 32 does the bigger jobs for sure

[@hildobertomattos873]

Es Everse 12 ele é monstro poderoso demais. Pressão. Sonora dele é fantástico

[@VTVT1306]

Very informative video, thnx. Could you jack in in-ears or a headphone?

[@Tansy-ub8cg]

Hi thanks for the great video! What would sound better the EV 12 or the JBL eon1 mk 2 battery speaker, singing to mainly Elvis backing tracks. Thank you, any help appreciated!

[@guitarstreet]

They are quite different speakers, but if I were to guess, my money is on the EVERSE 12. Thank you so much!

[@WWeiss-nv5vz]

EV12 louder/better high end/better App, MK2 better bass and 7 year warranty vs 2 years EV

[@miguelhaddadchavelas7454]

Good vídeo, I want to decide between everse 12 and evolve 30. What do you think?? ....Greetings from Mexico !!

[@guitarstreet]

Best way is to test it out! Though I would say, if you don't need too much low end, Everse 12 is good enough

[@iain6225]

I love my boss cube street 2 for portability But this is on another level

[@guitarstreet]

It sounded much better than Gabriel's Boss Cube Street II for sure

[@murphtv.]

Word to wise for all vocals applications use this speaker in monitor.

[@Periquito_pin_pan]

Nice review, but I'd really like to see a comparison with soundboks 4 or diamonbox XL. Both are portable.

[@guitarstreet]

Thank you! Hope I’ll have a chance to do that sometime. I’m not familiar with those speakers and we don’t see them in pro audio stores in Singapore…

[@Periquito_pin_pan]

@@guitarstreet thanks for the answer. You can find many videos about this speakers in KZbin. I own a soundboks gen 2 and is a blast. I also own JBL 1000 but this one is not portable.

[@Robe_Hernandez]

Will this be your go to speaker over the Bose S1 pro plus???

[@guitarstreet]

I don't drive... so the Bose S1 Pro+ is still my top choice for busking. I will recommend the EVERSE 12 for weddings / events!

[@jlepre752]

I have the Everse 8 and now the 12. I love my 8, but I'm struggling to get a balanced sound with the 12. I play with backing tracks and guitar. I am with you that they should have added a channel or 2.

[@guitarstreet]

How is your experience with the 12? Yes… if this had 4 channels it would sell like hotcakes

[@jlepre752]

@@guitarstreet I'm struggling to get a balanced sound with the 12

[@guitarstreet]

@@jlepre752 oh! How so?

[@Sergo50011]

Hello, I am now faced with a choice. What would you recommend for my small home studio and my electric guitar, two Everse 8 or two Everse 12?? I don't have to transport the speakers, they always stay at home! Thank you! Thank you very much!!!

[@guitarstreet]

2 x Everse 8. The Everse 12 may result in too much bass buildup in a small space (and thus sound too boomy). Thanks so much for watching!!

[@Sergo50011]

Thank You! Thank You Very Much!!! Best Regards from Germany.

[@bboymac84]

Now imagine if you two of them speakers with a SKAA DFB wireless subwoofer…wooow 🔊

[@f8274]

I can`t imagine, that two 8 inch chassis only could make a difference. The Everse 12 with it`s 12 inch should be much louder, so a subwoofer should have a bigger chassis than the top: For the Everse 12 you need surely a 15 inch Subwoofer to improve the sound. But there is no 15" Subwoofer known with battery-power only. So for a really big bass sound a power connection is essential.

[@Sergo50011]

Hello, I wanted to ask again, in your opinion, which electric guitar would be better for a smaller room at home, 2x Everse 8 or 1x Everse 12? Do 2x Everse 8 have enough bass for an electric guitar?? Thank you very much! Best Regards from Germany.

[@guitarstreet]

Same, I would recommend the Everse 8.

[@Sergo50011]

Thank you for your quick reply! I already have an Everse 12 and I'm really excited about the sound, especially the bass and the sound in general. However, following your recommendation, I have now ordered 2x Everse 8! I'm trying to make it stereo! Thank you! Thank you very much! Best Regards from Germany.

[@guitarstreet]

@@Sergo50011 Wow I didn't know you already have 1 x Everse 12! I hope the Everse 8 works out well for you. For a small studio, I think the sound is more than sufficiently powerful. Let me know!

[@iamnotagirl]

Omgggg Gabriel sounds SO MUCH BETTER with Everse!!!!!!

[@gabrielsimmy]

thank you I think time for an upgrade 😭

[@iamnotagirl]

@@gabrielsimmy i think so too hahahahah.

[@johnsobota6234]

If it just had SKAA, it would be perfect!

[@bboymac84]

Do a video of a live DJ cutting it up outside live!!

[@guitarstreet]

I have a short video of that that I can upload soon. But let me tell you - it is LOUD!

[@bboymac84]

@@guitarstreet good I wanna see!!

[@ekredel]

Can you set different levels of reverb for each channel?

[@guitarstreet]

Yes you can

[@ekredel]

@guitarstreet thanks!

[@mbopdude]

Why don’t you use the Everse 8?

[@georgchekinoff239]

Thanks for the video, I like it. I also think that a 12-inch speaker gives a wider frequency response, I used to work in Hi-Fi acoustics stores, I know that. As for how Everse 8 sounds compared to Everse 12 outdoors in soundtracks, here's a short KZbin video. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qZC5p6WGpbSZb6M You can listen to it yourself. However, listening to recordings and listening live are not the same thing at all. There is also a 50-second volume comparison of 75% from a distance of 30 meters kzbin.info/www/bejne/fHzIo2aEZtyFm80 . And here is a 1.5-minute street comparison of the maximum volume of JBL Eon One Compact and Everse 8 kzbin.info/www/bejne/hX6znIOJqbKapZY . I am a fan of such equipment, about Everse 8 and other amplifiers, my channel has its own amateur videos and a part-time street musician :) I play rock music, lead guitar with backing tracks and sing. I have now sold two of my JBL Compact. I'm thinking of taking another Everse 8 or Everse 12. Which is better? Have two Everse 8s or one Everse 8 plus one Everse 12? I also tested the maximum volume of Everse 8 in three different places in the city where I live, in the square, stadium and city park with three different genres of music, retreating 80 meters in the square and 150 meters in the stadium and city park. A 7-minute video shot on an inexpensive Redmi smartphone kzbin.info/www/bejne/foeVp6eGo5yIeq8 And so at home, I compared the power consumption of three Roland Cube Street EX, JBL Eon One Compact and Everse 8 amplifiers for street musicians, connecting them to the Allpowers S200 portable charging station and launching the soundtrack of the Avicii "Levels" remix.kzbin.info/www/bejne/gnfMeZqKibZ0jq8 I apologize for writing so much, and even with links. I wanted to share this with other people like me!

[@guitarstreet]

Thank you for sharing your extensive experience George!

[@georgchekinoff239]

​​@@guitarstreetAnd thank you! And how do you transport the equipment? Am I in a cart like this? Italian 6-wheel Gimi "Tris New" kzbin.info/www/bejne/g4aro2CEqqdga6s with Jbl Eon One Compact at the end of August 2023. kzbin.info/www/bejne/b53HkqeYod2jbtE It's March now, it's still cold and there's a lot of snow

[@WWeiss-nv5vz]

Compromise is the 31 lbs weight! Seems too much to carry for busking?

[@guitarstreet]

Yes... for busking it is a bit much haha. But if you have transport, you have the option of NO COMPROMISES!

[@WWeiss-nv5vz]

Not sure I agree. With transport, if you need battery power, take an external power supply. I have a 600 watt/15lbs EcoFlow Pro which will power even a 15" subwoofer! For that same money, you can get much greater performance even in EV's own line by going A/C only.@@guitarstreet
