SOUNDBOKS GEN 4 Review - The New Soundboks Speaker Is Here

[@SKAAsound]

Nice review! :) With SKAA you can use your Soundboks speaker as a hub transmitter to feed audio to other speakers, even some non-Soundboks speakers! For example, Dillinger Labs makes a wireless SKAA subwoofer called "Death From Below". You can feed SB audio over bluetooth, put it in HOST mode, then fire up a DFB sub and it will automatically bond to SB and play its audio. Repeat the process to bond up to 5 SKAA receivers (including other Soundboks) to the first Soundboks. DFB even has a custom EQ made for use with Soundboks speakers, and a 1 3/8" top hat to mount SB's on top of DFB's.

Seems like the best thing about the 4 is that it gives us a discount on gen 3. I’m bout to buy a second one

[@raulingaverage]

Love that you got the early review for this. You were one of the people that got me into the v3 of Sounboks!

[@Periquito_pin_pan]

I own a SB2 bought it back in 2018....still rocks. Best portable speaker hands down

[@smoothsailor5569]

Curious what the bass response is like on this. Is it real punchy without any sub?

[@joseroman6432]

Need your opinion which u think a better purchase soundboks gen4 or Bose s1pro +

[@PowerOnPlay]

What SOUNDBOKS doesn’t tell you is that you have to be logged on to their app online to have EQ and Bass+ to control the speakers through Bluetooth. I was at a reunion in the woods and couldn’t even tell the XLR inputs to switch to a Mic level because I had no internet. Such a terrible design.

[@MrDaftice]

Yeah they just ignored their community - we all disliked the app obligation to control at least the Bass-Level, but here we go with 3.1 and barely changes but how the Bass-Level is named?? Oo Those names "stage", "dance floor" and "lounge" feel so dull and forced - but hey, it's tHe NeW sOuNdBoKs

[@marafade13]

And because of that and also their customer support that I'm not a customer. I see too many horror stories online of customers that can't get support

[@vinceh2530]

Your the first guy covering this 🎉

[@shaneberckman]

He bud! Love seeing you guys together in a video! I have 2 Soundbok 3s and a go. Will this speaker connect wireless to those models?

[@WannaBuyIt]

Hey bud. Oh nice you have all their speakers nice 👍🏾. I’m sure they should all connect. I didn’t see anything about new connect it’s still SKAA. Unlike JBL changed their connect name like 3 times already lol

[@shaneberckman]

@@WannaBuyIt I'm with you. I love these speakers 🔊!

[@alanmendoza1921]

Yes.

[@waimeaguyz9074]

I have the gen 4, and you're right it is a great sounding speaker. I'm hoping to use it in a parade.

[@jann8490]

121, 119, and 112db have Soundbox finally get some realistic numbers or is it not as loud as gen 3?

[@cryptogaming9935]

05:46 heavy audio compression on the kickdrum, not nice to listen to. Is that how they get 20% more battery life out of it, compressing/limiting the bass at high volumes?

[@blue-zero4831]

Which is better the bose s1 pro plus or the soundboks gen 4

[@TMJbbx]

More bass that gen 2?

[@marafade13]

Is it that hard for them to have a sound limiter when charging to avoid issues? They really need strategic guidance in the product development part

[@marcusirving2438]

the 3 levels are good to know.about.. but other than that, I didn't see a bit difference... if you don't have a 3, then get the 4... or wait till the 3 drops in price

[@francispagpaguitan4464]

Nice speaker, is it available in the Philippines? where can I buy it?

[@WannaBuyIt]

I will ask them if the speaker will be available in the Philippines.

[@REDD2014]

Would you say it's a huge step above the 3?

[@sauljansen8173]

From what I’ve seen It has no different features compared to Soundboks 3 other than the new grill.

[@Itscastlebravo]

Definitely nope, this make nonsense to buy the 4

[@imusiccollection]

Less bass overall to make the battery last longer

[@beardymatt8314]

Don't see enough improvements to warrant upgrading from a Gen 3

[@chrisbtw_1900]

same i mean i heard its meant to be more blanced sound and then a biit better barrty lifebut other than that no real difference and the gen 3 sounds so good allready

[@fr0ntend]

I think its meant for newer customers, or people with the SB2. Kind of like Iphone 15, it's not really meant for people with Iphone 14 but rather people with older phones they bought years ago.

[@maxlucey8376]

Besides the fact that there’s no price increase

[@chrisbtw_1900]

@@maxlucey8376 depends where your from in my contry its more exspenvise

[@thecookies1495]

@@fr0ntend so imagine you have none would you get the gen 4 or 3?

[@jann8490]

What is this? Can't find it on their website?

[@WannaBuyIt]

This is the Gen 4 it’s not out yet. Should be dropping tomorrow or the following day.

[@jann8490]

@@WannaBuyIt so do you recommend to upgrade from number 3?

[@WannaBuyIt]

@@jann8490 I wouldn't do it. But if money is not a problem for you go for it. But if it is not worth buying just to upgrade.

[@bigmanhotep1131]

@wanna by it what size speakers 🔊 are they cause they look like some 12s

[@superman916ify]

🔥🔥🔥

[@james2749]

Its only "IP65 rated electronics coating" it doesn't mean the whole speaker is IP65

[@moontrauma5772]

Diamondbox xl3 crushes this

[@alanmendoza1921]

Not to argue with anyone, but it doesn't actually.....can't throw rocks at a Dimondbox... Can you put a diamond box on a PA stand? How many diamond boxes can wirelessly daisy chain?

[@Periquito_pin_pan]

Not true.... Flossy already made a comparison..... SB4 beat the shxt out of the Diamondbox XL 3

[@altkev]

The fact that they are on 4th gen and still don't support just powering the speaker directly (at full volume) is some terrible design. Batteries are great, but how about we don't handcuff us to use them if we have power available and don't want to be swapping out batteries for an all day event?

[@WannaBuyIt]

True I would like to have the battery as an option like at least get 4-8 hours off the first charge and then I can use the battery if I need to. Like hybrid cars it can auto switch over are something. You got a point bud for sure. Hopefully 5th Gen

[@YaFunklord]

So the difference between 3 and 4 is the hi-pass filter cutoff? Maybe it could be modded to a 3 if someone does a teardown of a Soundboks 4.

[@jokjoan]

Why buy soundboks in the first place?

[@alanmendoza1921]

For serious music listeners.... River party type atmosphere.... Off roading or trail riding atmosphere... Industrial grade and thoroughly rugged.... Can be put on the top of PA stand for a professional look.... Many reasons....

[@thefialikifamily9401]

More bass than the gen3 and alot cleaner

[@DJCuhhhstin956]

Gen 6 should be worth it maybe, but not this one 😂

[@afrolintin]

Very underwhelming , was expecting more, maybe next time with the gen 5

[@teslacybertruck750]

Gymcaddy did a sound comparison between this speaker to the JBL PB 710 and the JBL mauls it, JBL has perfected its tunning

[@pixelreflectorpro]

They haven't perfected it

[@tholo86]

@@pixelreflectorpro Still JBL 710 has better bass than this Gen 4 or 3

[@LukeR1M]

JBL partyboxes have internal wooden enclosure to improve sound quality and bass.

[@Periquito_pin_pan]

This is a portable speaker, you can't compare

[@nobbygaming7115]

Looks liks the soundboks 3

[@WannaBuyIt]

Yeah it does I had them side by side and it did Looks wise lol.

[@alleyrulez]

This sucks. I just bought the Gen 3 on Amazon Prime Day. Had I known the 4 was coming, I would have waited. 😡

[@alanmendoza1921]

You're all good, there's nothing wrong with a gen 3 ....promise 👍

[@alex-kv2bh]

Their brand seems like a money grab. Nothing special about it and cant even control it without the internet connected . At $1000 you gotta be a real 🤡

[@imusiccollection]

When you play a soundboks loud, it is like a party 🥳 magnet 🧲 Suddenly everyone will just appear. l get my neighbours begging to join in the fun, even if its the middle of the night, and they are supposed to be sleeping. They so looove that big booming bass sound 🔊🔈that they will come knocking very loudly. They really don't want to miss out! They even shout out something like turn it up! every night, but I cant make out what they are saying so I just ignore them, and besides we have no more room for anyway 🤷‍♂️ Sometimes they want to join in so bad, that they bust their party lights out to tempt me to let them in! its quite a sight with all of their lights flashing away down there, they just go for one color though, blue, I cant think why? And their siren sound effects are cool, too! 😅

[@tholo86]

Booming bass? boomy than JBL 710? doubt it, yet its more expensive than JBL

[@bigmanhotep1131]

Im gettin me one
