@@Jagistreviews What I'm most interested in is how it compares to the speakers such as Tribit Stormbox Blast or the Soundcore Motion Boom Plus. I'm owning the motion boom plus, and if the bass on this thing is deeper and harder than on the motion boom plus, it might be an argument for purchasing it.

You were the first person I saw on KZbin to have posted about this speaker in the previous video you posted about it, I’d never even known of its existence prior to that. I’ve enjoyed your videos for a while now and I’m hardly much of a commenter but for what it’s worth I believe you deserve way more subs for what you’ve put in. Thank you for consistently putting in the work for us and I wish you the best of luck for your channel.

@@Jagistreviewsyou’re welcome and yeah, it looks like a steal from your review. I bet it won’t get released here in the UK though, the Monster Blaster 3.0 never did although for now I’m happy with my two Boombox 2’s until I upgrade to the Boombox 3 at some point when money permits. I regret now not jumping on the hype train when I first got into speakers about three years back and failing to buy an AIWA Exos-9 when they were still available, it held its own pretty well for its age against the BB3 in your comparison.

After a few hours comparing speakers. The barrel xt, blast and encore i think the barrel xt is a interesting speaker. Its not perfect. I think there is to much treble. The parry i like is the mids and highs arw super clear but i think there pushed forward to much. I think it masks the bass a tad. As for bass while i does play somewhat deep. There is not much output below 50hz. It goes down to about 38hz at a reduced db. I found in comparison to the tribit the barrel xt has more mid bass rumble and thump. However the tribit has more impressive bass at 41hz. This one track i use has a 41hz bass tone and the barrel xt just slightly plays it but the blast has at least 3 times the put out at specific moment in the song. That was the theme of the rest of the tracks i compared. One track the barrel xt sounds more impressive and the next one the blast sounds better. So depending on the bass tones wull determine which sounds better. The tribit j found has a bass peak a bit deeper than the barrel xt. It has an ovrerall warmer feel to its bass. The encore plays significantly deeper than the blast. Irs not even close. At least 3 times the deep bass rumble. However the encore struggles a tad with mid bass runble and i found on somw tracks the barrel sounds bettter. Im not a fan of the mid and highs on the encore. They sound a bit muffeled to me and closed in. The barral xt sounds more open and with better imaging as the full range drivers are farthed apart. This is not a spealer you want to be close to when playing due to the sharp highs and forward mids and highs. Keep it back at least 10 feet.

Turned out the refurbished encore I got had a defective battery. Was a whole mess but I did get to test the speaker along with the Tribit blast a while ago. Had to get a Barrel brand new especially after all the refund trouble lol Encore blows the barrel and tribit out of the water for bass but the tribit does best at max volume for mids and highs. Skullcandy also seems to be the least powerful (70 Watt? Vs 90W Tribit 100W Encore). Bass from the skullcandy is definitely deepest for its size and price range though IMO Skullcandy does have a really good balance. Tribit has distortion from passive radiators and a weird dip in the highs, Encore has low battery life and falls apart outside. Skullcandy sounds most natural and clean and still gets loud without any distortion or strange frequency dips and keeps pretty good clarity although the bass does thin out at max The big thing is the portability though, Skullcandy is most portable by a landslide from what i’ve experienced owning all three and a partybox 110. Makes a huge difference for me being able to easily use a speaker anywhere and the skullcandy is not only the lightest but also the most convenient with the strap hooks too. The tribit is heavy and clunky and the Encore is heavy/awkward to carry. Skullcandy also has that smaller center piece on the bottom which I found surprisingly useful for setting it on smaller tables etc than the Tribit or Encore. IMO Skullcandy did pretty good this time with the Barrel, I just think if they were to up that main driver 20 watts or so to match up with the competitors like Tribit they’d be on top no question

Whaat? How much does it cost? How deep does Skullcandy go? What is it advertised? Please tell me. 40 Hertz? But can it go deeper? Like 38 Hertz? JBL always goes like 5 Heetz deeper than their ratings. How strongly? Test some songs with 38 Hertz in it. Please. And what does it sound like against JBL Boombox 3? And is there any possibility for you to test JBL Boombox 3 WiFi? JBL Boombox 3 WiFi is way better than JBL Boombox 3. They say JBL Boombox 3 WiFi is tuned for indoors. It is deep bass boosted. JBL Boombox 3 is tuned for outdoors. It has more mid upper bass. You can hear 700 Hertz peak. JBL Boombox 3 WiFi is what people really wanted. JBL Boombox 3 is meh. JBL Boombox 3 WiFi is better.
@Jagistreviews10 ай бұрын
Hey so I'm not sure what's it's rated I'll have to check, to me I think the jbl boombox still goes deeper and is a bit louder than this skullcandy, I'll try to get my hands on the bb3 wifi edition and do some test, this does go surprisingly low in frequency and for 169$ it's nearly impossible to beat for the price, I mean you can get like 3 of these for the price of one jbl boombox and three of these would dominate just 1 boombox, I'll do some test and vs battles soon
