Bose Soundlink Home π (link coming soon)
Dont buy bose soundlink flex. It sure has great sound to it but mine got damaged due to exposure to sun. When i went to store for repair, they said its not possible. So, now that speaker is sitting idle in my room with no use.
No. The Bose Flex 2 sounds much better than the Home. For half the price. The Home sounds harsh, boxy, and cheap. It needs better EQ, and you cannot even update the firmware. And the Flex 2 has Snapdragon sound / AptX Lossless / AptX Low Latency, and has an app with EQ, unlike the Home. I am returning the Home and keeping the Flex 2.
Where is soundcore select 4 go?
Ok, Now I find your selection suspect the JBL small speakers blow away the Bose IMHO!
Bears has distortion after 50%
I hate how any bose product sounds. Way overpriced and I donβt know why it has such a good rep. Their sound is always muffled and flat to me.
I expected the Sony Xb100 would be here because it’s in the video π
Sonos Roam 2 you forgot
Ive had a ny=umber of speakers but the one im with right now is the JBL Clip 5. I love this little guy. It’s relatively inexpensive but it does not sound like it. and if it is as tough as my old Flip 4 then I expect it is basically indestructible. And the clip/carabiner on it is fantastic. I know, it’s just a clip but I love to clip it on my belt loop or shower head or on my backpack and I have never had another speaker that could do that. If youre on the edge, I recommend giving the Clip 5 a try.
Versa-tull, not versa-tyle.
I wanna buy the sony ult field 7 for parties (or just blasting music in my bedroom) and i want your opinion, is it really worth it? Btw i already have the srs xg300
@mike what would you purchase that has the same qualities as the Bose SLink Flex II but includes a MIC π€ pickup, say – to use during video calls at work?
Not a single jobsite speaker why?
Shame with the beats are they’ve been proven to add weights to make it feel more expensive and well built than it is.
Bose sound link flex was a terrible speaker. OOTB the bass sounded cracked
i have tribit i bought 2 yrs ago from ebay 25 dollars thats fantastic!
Make video in hindi language also like earbuds video
Bro has never had a Tribit speaker
Soundcore Boom 2 has 24 hours of water resistance?! I think you mean battery life. π
Mike Oβ Brien, can you do a review on the Sony ULT Field 1, or at least tell me your opinion on the speaker? I deciding between the beats pill and the Sony ULT Field 1, but i think Iβm leaning more to the Sony just because of the extra bass. Thanks a lot, I love your videos.
Marshall middleton. Has the best clear surround soundπ
πππ°πͺπ°πͺππ
Big miss in the W-King Kind X20. Just as good as the JBL boombox at half the price. Should have been near the top of your list.
Forgot itβs going in a shop, so dust proof would be good also.
Great review of the latest Bluetooth speakers in the market!
What about Tribit?
I have the marshall middleton and bose soundlink flex very good sound from both
I wanted to see the chargeports on all the speakers not just the soundcore.
No Bang & Olufsen?
Dudeβ¦I appreciate your info on all the speakers But God sakes tell us how much each of them cost
In this category only speaker that interests me is the ult field 7
Anker soundcore motion plus, what’s better in that size?π’
I was so impressed with the comparison at [7:45]! It really sets your review apart.
Very awesome! Very Informative video!!! Thank u!!!
I got me a cheap BT speaker because the speakers on my new laptop have terrible sound. The speakers of the BT speaker are good enough, but the user experience drives me nuts. It disconnects each time my laptop stops playing music. And even less enjoyable, it plays a stupidly loud disconnect sound each time it does so. Apparently this is a well known fact about cheap speakers: they don’t bother with wiring the elektronics for the volume of this particular sound.
Also, each time it reconnects, the volume is back at full. Just, why?
It think this is just insane. The designer of this speaker is 99% there and I’m looking to replace it, because of the few cents he wanted to save.
Now, my issue is that this part of the user experience is not mentioned on the product specifications. Why would it, right?
Recommendations for a BT speaker are welcome.
Another bad review where this guy talks through the whole video instead of playing the actual speaker
I bought the soundcore boom 2 plus for 150 bucks really a no brainer, tweaked the EQ and the sound is massive!
I am a fan of Sony speakers, should i get the Linkbud speaker or maybe a sonos roam 2?
What do you think of LG XG8T XBOOM GO or the LG PL7. I have the pl 7 and love it. Looking for a new speaker. Are they not as good anymore? Also not a fan of huge bass. Thanks for the help.
not mentioned UE in this video is straight up criminal
Major review-sickness, also repeating video and very light touch on every device, nothing you cannot see on product pages in a webshop.
Beats Pill is just an expensive Soundcore Motion +?
Sound core rave party 2
Which one do you think is sounds better Soundcore X600 or Soundcore Boom 2 ?
No Doss soundbox xl …
What about anker soundcore motion+? And where is sound samples for viewing apeakers? Often sounding even recorded for youtube videos can tell more then trying to describe whats it sounds like..
Can we connect Flex Gen 1 with Flex Gen 2 ? I have Flex Gen 1.
Can you mention how many OHMS and RMS next time or at least make them sound.
Missed opportunity to make it a digital photo frame (I was kind of baffled it was not)
