1000€ for ONE 8" Bluetooth speaker? Have you lost your mind????

[@lordcarloshere]

Same price for Soundboks Gen 4 that people love them.

[@Dasbeerboots]

@@lordcarloshere The Soundboks is shit. I have one. It's loud, yeah, but it hits the limiter for bass and treble so early that all you hear is mids. It also doesn't have a mixer or a lot of the features that a PA speaker should have at that price. The better buy would be the EV Everse 8 or 12.

[@lordcarloshere]

@@Dasbeerboots It does have an EQ, no? In the app? I don't have one, but used it on a few gigs and it was fine.

[@alexanderclifton3385]

You can buy a set of nice dj speakers that get 10 times louder and sound 10 times better for the price of 1

[@lordcarloshere]

@@alexanderclifton3385 yes, but this one has a different use case

[@SebastianBlix]

Slight correction: The daisy chain limit for these over Sonic link is currently 4 speakers, and the Bluetooth device limit is 8 devices.

[@Koopakid917543]

It's super cool, there is a huge target market for this. But for me atleast, at this price point, convenience doesn't out weight the price. Especially when everywhere I go, I can still run cords with ease because that's what everybody has been used to for so long

[@markdavis4482]

Question? I have two of the Everse Eights. When you connect a microphone to one of the Everse, the vocals do not come through to the second paired speaker. Is this something the new wave-eight will do?

[@OfficialDJTazer]

3:04 when are you going to give us your comparison between this speaker and the Soundboks speaker?

[@itsallfilter]

si suena realmente bien a buena potencia, lo vale... habra q esperar a ver reviews de personas con buen criterio de sonido que dicen... dudo q Pioneer saque algo berreta, no es su estilo, por lo q seguro, mas alla del precio elevado, debe ser un excelente producto, teniendo en cuenta sus caracteristicas y facilidades, tanto de bateria, transporte, potencia de sonido, conectividad, es muyyyyy funcional y flexible, ojala no llegue a latam con un precio completamente diferente a los 900 dolares. Buen review, gracias!

[@bigdaz7272]

Looks like a pretty cools speaker, i wonder if they are gonna release a "little Brother" to this with all the same features

[@benjspence]

Little brother? big brother surely? 12" so can use for events

[@blackcyborg009]

How is the speaker performance compared to VM-80?

[@djpeacepiano]

can you use 2 speakers with the blutooth pairing?

[@CRUSHEND.]

Cool

[@aranmannion3221]

Can you make a video on making an epk

[@rikaus9273]

Which would you say is better one of these or the soundboks Go?

[@ronaldclarke548]

the sound books Go is real light on the bass the 15inch however is banging and only a 100 more and u can buy multiple batteries

[@chrisrioux6436]

FAQ seems to say you can only pair 4 speakers together over sonic link, not as many as you like!

[@nedphilanders]

Is crossfader owned by Alpha Theta? Your one critique is that it wiggles when you carry it?? What?!?

[@schizorecordspassau]

What about this box vs Everse 12?

[@sfenks3214]

Before every detail, why doesn’t anyone ask if we will only use it in the bedroom with 4 hours of charging? Nowhere in my life have I seen the speaker dismantled 4 hours after where it was installed. I watched the video with a foreign language. Please someone say it works with an electrical source.

[@blackcyborg009]

- Would this be considered as a MONITOR or BOOTH speaker? - How is the speaker performance compared to VM-80?

[@user-sf7ip7ik9c]

8" speaker for 859 pounds is hilarious. This channel took the pioneer 💰

[@darrentolley1068]

Amazing that all the people reviewing this speaker at the moment haven’t taken Alpha Theta to task on declining to include the “Frequency Response Specifications” in their so called technical documentation. It’s the first thing I look for when buying a speaker. The pioneer marketing machine has worked its miracle again. Laughable.

[@azgrant]

Hmm

[@paragonmusicco]

RMS Wattage?

[@71hiro]

110W

[@paragonmusicco]

@@71hiro Wow for 1k, that's alot, thanks!

[@kozmobluemusic]

>premium price >bluetooth pick one

[@sonjakozman1699]

The issue will be battery life diminishing through the cycles.

[@djxcel23]

No way. This is gemini looking gear all over again just overpriced

[@ricardogaeto7268]

Sounboks is on sale for $699 and better

[@robertschnobert9090]

"the competitors on the market"? Are you not allowed to say Soundboks? If you're sponsored you have to mention it. It's the LAW 🥚🌈

[@dj_rys09]

This doesn't look pro at all. Can't even find specs for spl. Looks like Gemini crap.

[@Masterfeedbackprod]

Yes strange thing to be missing spl .....

[@djwestman]

Incredible piece of crap 😱

[@TheSoundprofile]

an bluetooth speaker this pricey without changeable battery is a joke!

[@Rew1ndOfficial]

Make DJ gear affordable again 😢

[@djmandoflow]

Bro it’s really not that expensive, plus if your really using it for what need it for it will pay itself off

[@Rew1ndOfficial]

⁠@@djmandoflow it’s almost 1000 dollars mate for one speaker the Mackie Thump GO Battery-powered speaker offers Bluetooth connectivity too and it’s 459 bucks. That price is just nuts do your research from my point of view you buying the brand name more than the actual features 🥸

[@Masterfeedbackprod]

I've been djing since the 80s equipment has never been cheap infact I'd say in recent years with the influx of Chinese copies it's been cheap to get into the game but if you want stuff that will last and be reliable you have to pay I payed £1200 last year for a pair of makie srt212s over the course of last year I got that money back and, that's not taking into account thr extra lifts and quicker setup time going from passive to active speakers

[@Rew1ndOfficial]

Mackie Thump GO Battery-powered Loudspeaker same features same size same use for half a price I’m not saying you shouldn’t buy it but there’s more cheaper options with the same features you are being sold a brand more than the actual utility 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@Masterfeedbackprod]

​@Rew1ndOfficial agree if you want a battery powered speaker the mackie go's are nice heck the boss s1 pros are only £500 ish now I wounder if and when they will sell the low latency adapter as a separate unit that's the only thing that makes these speakers interesting the rest is circa 2020 tech much better for much less on the market now

[@alifianalrozaqzakaria7665]

Is AlphaTheta making a joke or what? released a Bluetooth speaker but the design is really "cheap". There are no characteristics of Pioneer at all.
