You set the standard by which all other reviewers should strive to achieve with each video you produce but this 6 speaker comparison showcases the differential between your skill and the rest to an even greater degree. 🙇 Always fun and professional at the same time (which is difficult to achieve), imho. Thanks for another great one, Alan! 😁👍👏
The G2 is insanely good, indoors or outdoors. I have had mine for three months and it is just stunning sound, build and looks. Only "criticism" is that it really needs some kind of protective waterproof carry case to make it a bit more portable
They don't sell it anymore, do they? Love the sound and it's so much better than everything else here, even though the highs are a bit too sibilant (well, a little bit more than I'd like from listening to this), highs too sparkly. Know anyone selling one around you? Lol.
Thanks Alan. Its helps a lot having all the references. According to your analysis the Motion Plus (at least in Custom EQ) seems to check all the same boxes in terms of sound and features of the Katch G2 (BTW I don't have a Motion Plus but that's just what it looks like). I don't think I would even use a Katch G2 even if I had one - the way my speakers gets knocked about G2 wouldn't last very long😁
yup the g2 is made for sitting on a shelf and looking pretty, not for real world use 😭 it sounds pretty decent below 50% but for the money it needs to do more. yup the motion plus at 25% the cost would be a decent alternative.
Great as always Alan. Keep up the great work. We need you on that wall. We want you on that wall. Who is going to protect us from those cheap no-good crummy speakers, You Lieutenant Allen ? JBL can't handle the truth. Love you man, ray 🇺🇸
Nice Vid Alan, thx! Yesterday I got my 2nd soundcore boost. For this size, great sound up to 70%! Due to your vids I've now 2 boom and 2 boost. Then I already had a hk go+ and a partybox310 (which is realy nice, but i think a number to big for your room) 😅
Please tell me your opinion on the sound quality and breadth of the stage Dali katch g2 and denon envaya 250. Is it just for me that denon envaya 250 is the standard in terms of sound? I just don't know Dali personally, I trust your opinion, thanks!
@@alanrossreviews Now Denon envaya 250 is not available for sale, what can you recommend for viewing from the premium sound market and in such a compact case as Denon or Dali? cost doesn't matter. Thank you 🙏🏻
Can you make a comparison with the Sodapop BT speaker, please? I think it's a pretty cool speaker but I wonder how it fairs with the rest in the market.
Hi Alan, below what decibel level of the overall soundtrack is deep bass noticable. lets say speaker A plays 30hz-45hz at -6db and speaker B does not play 30-45hz at all. will it be noticable difference in deep bass of these speakers in real world scenarios?
Love your honesty man, keep going !!! Could you please do a high end portable speaker comparison like Bang & Olufsen P6 vs Vifa Helsinki vs Dali Katch G2 vs Jbl Xtreme 3 vs Bang & Olufsen A1 vs Soundcore Motion Boom vs also the ones you consider ? Thanks a lot machine
Hi Alan! Thanks for the comparison. Very useful! I have a Charge 5 (TL) and mostly happy with it. But after a long listening, it makes me get tired. I am not an expert but I think it's because of the bass distortion. Such small speakers cannot produce true bass I think. I tried many portable speakers at showrooms and saw that almost all portable speakers (including HK Go Play, etc) have the same problem, less or much. So I decided to increase my budget and give a chance to Dali Katch G2 but after your review I am confused. Could you please let me know: Which speaker would you recommend for very low volumes, for close listening in small hotel rooms. I can buy 2 for pairing to reach stereo. It doesn't have to include a battery. I am listening do different genres (soft rock, electronic, ethnic, symphonic, vocals, blues, indie...). Airplay 2 would be a plus but not a must. Another option in my mind is: Bang&Olufsen Beosound Level. I know that it's price is much higher than its sound quality but I cannot find a speaker which doesn't have that bass distortion problem (if I am defining it right). I tried Klipsch The Tree II also. Amazing sound! I was very pleased in listening to it. But it's not for low volumes and still had that vooomf problem. Thanks! 🙂👋
@@alanrossreviews Thanks for it. I knew it was coming. 😀 I googled a bit but couldn't find the driver structure (dimensions). It seems worth to give a chance anyway. To clarify the finalists of the low volume: If we ignore the price and if we will listen to it on very low volume only, do you prefer Stockwell 2 over Dali Katch G1/G2? For all genres?
Hi Alan,how you doing mate ? Thanks for still spreading your love for speakers advice .I’ve got a question regarding the motion boom.I have one which I’ve been using for almost a year now after your reviews .Still Working as new ,and still enjoying every little bit of it .I’ve always plays it via my Lg 4K smart tv ,mainly RUclips and never had any issues. Last week I bought another boom from Amazon after dropping it for £65 new .The problem I’m having both boom pairs well in stereo mode ,but when it plays ,seems like my tv is fighting with both Bluetooth from both speakers ,I mean trying to connect to both Bluetooth at the same time ,hence cutting off the sound for few seconds,every 1 minute.But when I play RUclips from my iPhone ,this problem doesn’t occurs as iPhone can only connect to one Bluetooth device at a time .Have you encountered this before .Ps I’ve updated both speakers firmware. Btw now I remember who your voice sounds alike …James O Brian from LBC 😎
i like james obrien 😝 the tv shouldnt be trying to connect to both booms. one boom is master and the slave connects to the master. if you have both booms paired to tv unpair the slave and try again. all ok here 👌
Hey Alan I am deciding between JBL charge 5 and Sony srs xb33 for couple of days now and it's driving me insane, which one would you recommend more (don't take price to consideration I can get good deal on them) I'm only worried about JBL being too squeaky with that tweeter. And I already watched a ton of your videos they are great but the choise to me is still not clear
i would go charge 5 as i prefer its sound. Others love the xb33 but for me a little veiled sounding. The charge 5 i think is the better package taking form factor into account.
how are you playing the movies? via bluetooth? i wouldnt really suggest anything for movies, id say get a soundbar made for the job. the motion plus in my tests has little lag so thats good but not much low bass so not so good.
Hey Alan! Trying to decide between charge 5 or motion boom. Mostly listening at 40-50%ish to rap, country, pop etc... what would you recommend? Thanks!
At 100% the motion boom is the clear winner. at 65% it's more of a tough call for me, maybe the Charge 5 as it seems to be more balanced between clarity and bass while the motion plus has more clarity but less bass. so yeah, I'd go with the Charge 5 since I don't usually go outdoor for parties etc. else I'd pick the motion boom.
I have the Dali Katch G2. At 50% volume, I already find it to be too loud. You seem to like listening to speakers at high volumes and with deep bass. Many of the songs you tested are bass heavy dance tracks. In short, I think you like 'party' speakers, which the Katch G2 is not. It is however really good at low/moderate volume levels, which I think most ordinary folks use.
Comparing 6 speakers in one video you did a great job 👏 The most speakers I put into a sound test was 9 speakers but only compared 3 so far. So are there anymore comparisons what's the G2 or its going back to the factory 😂
If it suits you then why not. And in my next video I'm finally comparing 2 Motion Booms against the Boombox 2😁 and the Sony SRS-XG500 afterwards. Hopefully I awancer your questions 👍
Xd your neighbors would complain I'm only going to keep this Motion Boom for around 3 weeks 😅 I going to hit up mifa for a wild box review hopefully they'll get back to me🤔 If not I'll just buy it review it and maby send it back idk
Hi Allan, I'm looking for a hifii speaker with a good soundstage and treble that creates an immersive, airy feeling when listening to music, and it needs to be portable. Is the Dali Katch G2 the best choice? I'm considering getting one because it has excellent battery life, and it's more inclined towards HiFi. my indoor space is a small room
sounds like you are expecting way too much from these Bluetooth speakers. i would get a go play 3, stormbox blast or maybe a minirig 2.1 setup if you really want airy. you need a pair of whatever you buy for any hope of soundstage.
@@alanrossreviews go Play 3 and tribit Stormbox Blast seem a bit too large, and their bass might be too strong. My room is small, so I’m worried these speakers might disturb my neighbors and family. As a Chinese person, I mostly listen to Chinese pop or sentimental songs. I previously considered getting the A1 Gen2 and Bose SoundLink Revolve+ II because the A1 focuses on highs and vocals. However, I realized that the DALI Katch G2 easily surpasses the A1. Then, I looked into Bose, but it seems their sound is more bass-heavy, so the highs and vocals might not perform as well as on the DALI Katch G2. After checking out Bang & Olufsen, I found that besides the A1, their other products are quite expensive. Additionally, VIFA isn’t available where I live, even though they also specialize in highs and vocals. Finally, I looked into Harman Kardon, but their products seem to focus heavily on bass, which can feel overwhelming
@@alanrossreviews thank you for your recommendation. I noticed that the HK Go Play 3 has a 3-way design, which can provide better sound separation. However, I also noticed that its battery life is only 8 hours, and in reality, it might be less than 8 hours :C
@@alanrossreviews yes. I’m subscribed in case you review it one day. You convinced me to buy a pair of Motion+ last year… so thanks for your quality and complete content
hello, I sent an e-mail to the manufacturer about the tribit Xsound Mega related application, but the functions were not working. They sent me a new firmware. But since I don't have a computer, I will wait for the application to be fixed. Will there be more videos coming with Xsound Mega my favorite channel? 🤗 . I think this device will do much better with your custom EQ setting.
6 speakers🤯 that's a major major major review! Heh heh another Alan Ross review is always plenty of major goes 👍basting past everybody in the infor wars on the Bluetooth game. I'll stick with the pound for pound world champ the motion BOOM 💥🔥 Keep up the good work sir Alan
Comparison of six speakers??? Alan Ross is leveling up 😮 My thoughts: Stockwell 2 has such a good sound, I love it. Dali Katch G2 is garbage, unless you listening at low volumes (which wouldn’t make no sense for that price point imo) Motion boom boom boom is still kicking ass in 2022, and will for years to come.
The fact i prefer the "good but not mind blowing" Charge 5 over the Katch already does not look good for Dali... and again, i need to get a Motion Boom so bad!!!
1 Motion Boom 2 Motion + 3 Charge 5 4 Stockwell 2 5 Addon C3 6 😒 The lack of volume coming from the Marshall is mad frustrated. Especially when you consider Stockwell 2’s louder little brother. Beyond me, much?
yeah but thats because the emberton is a screechfest at max! they are all worth a ;listen and do different things better than others. but if you have a boom and a plus you are pretty much covered for most things 🥳
Btw, do you burn speakers in before you test them? After 20-ish hours of use the XSound Mega is sounding better than what I initially thought on first listen
i agree stockwell 2 has the potencial to lead on market of 360 speakers its sounds so much better on normal levels than the dali katch and many others and kinda of a reference of a better sound on marshall speakers yet its rubbish the loudness and the heavy processing and a lack of dynamic at higher lvls really makes it fall down and its sad cause this is a speaker of a brand that really has it on design for price and shows some good quality. Hope 2 see next release with a sound like this but with improved loudness and opt button to disable blumlin??
Marshall’s sound signature is just great for rock and rockn roll music. It’s just number one. Yet if you’re more of party music person jbl motion plus and boom are great options as well. I have an emberton since I never put it on max volume I don’t experience any ‘screech’ or whatsoever. For rock music you can’t do any better than Marshall speakers. Yet this Dani thing is one expensive little thing I might be interested in buying as my next Bluetooth speaker. It really sounded to me better than the others overall
Alan, below 50 percent volumes, which one amongst dali and stockwell 2 have: deeper and more defined bass? Which one is overall soundwise better at less than 50 percent volumes?
@@alanrossreviews have you experience between the stockwell 2 and the Bose revolve 2 plus? I own the Bose now since a week ago and sometimes it blows me away with good sound but sometimes I don’t feel so much depending on song and where I place it. I prefer more clarity but also a bit bass. Any recommendations?
I do not trust reviews of stuff like cars and av equipment. The best thing anyone can do is listen to the audio equipment, watch the visual equipment and test drive the cars on rough and twisty roads. Also speak with people who have owned the things as they will tell you about long term issues, eg bluetooth connectivity, and lack of reliability.
Hey mate theres new crappy speaker on the block the Tronsmart bang i dont have any hopes about it and they even said the oldman xtreme 1 sounds good i dont know if it's true tho..i know youll not waste 100 quid to that but just letting you know😅😂😂
yeah ive had a few requests for that among a ton of others 😝 so given the size of my to-do list there is no place for any more tronsmarts having bene burned by them too many times. 😱
2 woofers and 2 tweeters don't automatically make it stereo either. You need a minimum of distance between the speakers and from you to the speakers in order for stereo to unfold. No speaker below 80 cm width between the tweeters can reproduce any enjoyable stereo imaging. But that's just my opinion. I am nobody
Dont confuse stereo as in playing seperate right left channels with a stereo soundstage. Technically speaking stereo reproduction requires an equilateral triangle.
@@alanrossreviews This is exactly what stereo is. Separate right+left channels which with the right placement create imaging and natural sound. And this equilateral triangle has to be bigger than the distance between your ears. There is a reason why no serious stereo system has its speaker 40cm from one another and that's why no compact bluetooth speaker sounds like stereo no matter how many drivers it has. But as I said. I am nobody
@@alanrossreviews that is just „semantics“. If a stereo speaker is not creating stereo imaging you might as well call it „non stereo“. In order to create a stereo image you need….. a stereo speaker system. This is why it was created. For creating a stereo image using phase+time difference. Unless you are saying that if you glue two stereo speakers together resulting in a tweeter distance of 20cm between them you will still call it stereo ? Lets agree to disagree. After all its just my opinion.
@@alanrossreviewsargon set and maybe the trettitre speaker but it sadly got delayed and will be on indiegogo now mid may (delivery sample maybe mid april)
İ would love to watch your content but you ruin it for me with all the sudden shouting, so it makes me uncomfortable to watch because of this. I understand it's your style but if you would speak normally your channel would probably double in viewing. Literally my ears hurt everytime you suddenly shout, and if i turn the volume down to minimum I can barely hear you, so all in all I can't watch your content because of this reason alone, sadly. Otherwise great content man. Hope you take no offence, nothing against you at all. Cheers
I wonder if you actually understand what compression in audio really is? Artificial? Please explain this notion that a musical instrument can be artificial. Only if something claims to be something else could it be artificial surely? Electronic music is what it says it is therefore by definition cannot be artificial.
funny that Dali use TPA 3118 not even D2 revision of it same use in soundlink mini firt gen🤣 bose sound flex is bose soundlink micro everything insaid is the same except drivers battery and passive radiator.. company making a lot money reuse all old components.

What a lot of people were waiting for, as always, a great review from mr. Ross 😁👍👍👍

Amazing video as always Alan. Thanks for taking the time for this. Still enjoying my dual motion booms!!
two booms is boom heaven 😜😜
The G2 is insanely good, indoors or outdoors. I have had mine for three months and it is just stunning sound, build and looks. Only "criticism" is that it really needs some kind of protective waterproof carry case to make it a bit more portable
Thats all that matters, if it gels with you and you're happy 😊
They don't sell it anymore, do they? Love the sound and it's so much better than everything else here, even though the highs are a bit too sibilant (well, a little bit more than I'd like from listening to this), highs too sparkly. Know anyone selling one around you? Lol.

As a Chinese person, I mostly listen to Chinese pop or sentimental songs. I previously considered getting the A1 Gen2 and Bose SoundLink Revolve+ II because the A1 focuses on highs and vocals. However, I realized that the DALI Katch G2 easily surpasses the A1. Then, I looked into Bose, but it seems their sound is more bass-heavy, so the highs and vocals might not perform as well as on the DALI Katch G2. After checking out Bang & Olufsen, I found that besides the A1, their other products are quite expensive. Additionally, VIFA isn’t available where I live, even though they also specialize in highs and vocals. Finally, I looked into Harman Kardon, but their products seem to focus heavily on bass, which can feel overwhelming
@@alanrossreviews thank you for your recommendation. I noticed that the HK Go Play 3 has a 3-way design, which can provide better sound separation. However, I also noticed that its battery life is only 8 hours, and in reality, it might be less than 8 hours :C
@@Musou01 yup it has a small battery
Hi! Could you please review the Abramtek e600? Is pretty famous and people say it’s sounds awesome
It's an interesting one 👍
@@alanrossreviews yes. I’m subscribed in case you review it one day. You convinced me to buy a pair of Motion+ last year… so thanks for your quality and complete content
What EQ setting are you using on Motion Boom ? You didn't write exact numbers on EQ.
Check my ig
hello, I sent an e-mail to the manufacturer about the tribit Xsound Mega related application, but the functions were not working. They sent me a new firmware. But since I don't have a computer, I will wait for the application to be fixed. Will there be more videos coming with Xsound Mega my favorite channel? 🤗 . I think this device will do much better with your custom EQ setting.
well id like to but its over whelming with what i would like to be doing. simply cant keep up! 😱
@@alanrossreviews sad Mr Alan 😐
well i got a real life to get through too 😁
6 speakers🤯 that's a major major major review! Heh heh another Alan Ross review is always plenty of major goes 👍basting past everybody in the infor wars on the Bluetooth game. I'll stick with the pound for pound world champ the motion BOOM 💥🔥 Keep up the good work sir Alan
who can challenge the boom? we need some competition! 😁
How does beoplay a1 first gen compare to dali katch at low volumes?
i havent tested but they are so different in every way, the a1 can never sound as big and open as the dali at low volumes.
@@alanrossreviews which ones amongst the tested sounds the biggest and creates an environment?
Alan! Can you review the tribit stormbox blast!
eventually...😝
I wonder how g2 sound when you put it in corner, i imagine that sound can be much louder because of bounce from other side
in a corner you get a big bass boost
good party comparison nice men, greetings. love ja
greetings 👍👍
Comparison of six speakers??? Alan Ross is leveling up 😮
My thoughts: Stockwell 2 has such a good sound, I love it. Dali Katch G2 is garbage, unless you listening at low volumes (which wouldn’t make no sense for that price point imo) Motion boom boom boom is still kicking ass in 2022, and will for years to come.
yup! they need to retune that g2 so it keeps bass all the way up and just give up some overall volume. idiots 😁😁
Qual é essa equalização da boom??
The Dali is quality compared to the rest. Dali for adults the rest are for kids and teenagers
you think?
it occurred to me, for adults who have more money than sense and dont play above 50%???
@@alanrossreviews it looks more grown up too. The others looks a bit silly
The fact i prefer the "good but not mind blowing" Charge 5 over the Katch already does not look good for Dali...
and again, i need to get a Motion Boom so bad!!!
the motion boom was on sale on amazon for me now, just ordered one
1 Motion Boom
2 Motion +
3 Charge 5
4 Stockwell 2
5 Addon C3
6 😒
The lack of volume coming from the Marshall is mad frustrated. Especially when you consider Stockwell 2’s louder little brother. Beyond me, much?
yeah but thats because the emberton is a screechfest at max! they are all worth a ;listen and do different things better than others. but if you have a boom and a plus you are pretty much covered for most things 🥳
Btw, do you burn speakers in before you test them?
After 20-ish hours of use the XSound Mega is sounding better than what I initially thought on first listen
*just a smidge better but better nonetheless 😂
i agree stockwell 2 has the potencial to lead on market of 360 speakers its sounds so much better on normal levels than the dali katch and many others and kinda of a reference of a better sound on marshall speakers yet its rubbish the loudness and the heavy processing and a lack of dynamic at higher lvls really makes it fall down and its sad cause this is a speaker of a brand that really has it on design for price and shows some good quality. Hope 2 see next release with a sound like this but with improved loudness and opt button to disable blumlin??
Marshall’s sound signature is just great for rock and rockn roll music. It’s just number one. Yet if you’re more of party music person jbl motion plus and boom are great options as well. I have an emberton since I never put it on max volume I don’t experience any ‘screech’ or whatsoever. For rock music you can’t do any better than Marshall speakers. Yet this Dani thing is one expensive little thing I might be interested in buying as my next Bluetooth speaker. It really sounded to me better than the others overall
"M"an in "B"lack is the clear winner as you have told..
i wonder how two flex's might do? what do you think?
@@alanrossreviews Probably, two flex will be excellent, especially flat position...
I know this is a waste of money but.. Can you please compare charge 5 all versions? Cuz all videos are too unclear. Thanks!
lol! i should buy 5 different versions of the same speaker??? 🤪
@@alanrossreviews Wow! I thought there was only 4! I guess that's too many! Thanks!
Alan, below 50 percent volumes, which one amongst dali and stockwell 2 have: deeper and more defined bass? Which one is overall soundwise better at less than 50 percent volumes?
Its quite close. I would say stockwell favours deep bass while dali favours upper bass which may come over to you as more defined. I prefer stockwell
@@alanrossreviews have you experience between the stockwell 2 and the Bose revolve 2 plus?
I own the Bose now since a week ago and sometimes it blows me away with good sound but sometimes I don’t feel so much depending on song and where I place it.
I prefer more clarity but also a bit bass.
Any recommendations?
And still pound-for-pound heavyweight champion of the world Alan Ross and the motion boom tag team. 👌
😁😁 jbl eat your heart out 🤭
@@alanrossreviewsa
swell as your wallet😢
I do not trust reviews of stuff like cars and av equipment. The best thing anyone can do is listen to the audio equipment, watch the visual equipment and test drive the cars on rough and twisty roads. Also speak with people who have owned the things as they will tell you about long term issues, eg bluetooth connectivity, and lack of reliability.
And yet here you are on a review??? 🤔
Hey mate theres new crappy speaker on the block the Tronsmart bang i dont have any hopes about it and they even said the oldman xtreme 1 sounds good i dont know if it's true tho..i know youll not waste 100 quid to that but just letting you know😅😂😂
yeah ive had a few requests for that among a ton of others 😝 so given the size of my to-do list there is no place for any more tronsmarts having bene burned by them too many times. 😱
2 woofers and 2 tweeters don't automatically make it stereo either. You need a minimum of distance between the speakers and from you to the speakers in order for stereo to unfold.
No speaker below 80 cm width between the tweeters can reproduce any enjoyable stereo imaging. But that's just my opinion. I am nobody
Dont confuse stereo as in playing seperate right left channels with a stereo soundstage. Technically speaking stereo reproduction requires an equilateral triangle.
@@alanrossreviews This is exactly what stereo is. Separate right+left channels which with the right placement create imaging and natural sound. And this equilateral triangle has to be bigger than the distance between your ears. There is a reason why no serious stereo system has its speaker 40cm from one another and that's why no compact bluetooth speaker sounds like stereo no matter how many drivers it has. But as I said. I am nobody
@@saardean4481 i already pointed out that a stereo image is different to describing a speaker as stereo.
@@alanrossreviews that is just „semantics“. If a stereo speaker is not creating stereo imaging you might as well call it „non stereo“. In order to create a stereo image you need….. a stereo speaker system. This is why it was created. For creating a stereo image using phase+time difference.
Unless you are saying that if you glue two stereo speakers together resulting in a tweeter distance of 20cm between them you will still call it stereo ?
Lets agree to disagree. After all its just my opinion.
lol! i can only guide you, i cant re-wire you im afraid....🤦♂️
🤠
holy shit you was fast on the draw today 😝😝
@@alanrossreviews haha just home after work enjoying some tunes and looking at youtube😊
@@alanrossreviews tomorrow I'll have busy day videos making some of the companies sended out some tech finally arriving this week 😎
whats the most interesting upcoming speaker??
@@alanrossreviewsargon set and maybe the trettitre speaker but it sadly got delayed and will be on indiegogo now mid may (delivery sample maybe mid april)
6 speaker sis too much. 5 is my personal limit!
well we may never see the likes again 💪
Yes sir Alan🏆
you are getting really good recently!!!!!!!!!!! now an early arriver 😝😝
@@alanrossreviews 💯🌹 hope you’re doing great.
well not to bad, tx 😁
İ would love to watch your content but you ruin it for me with all the sudden shouting, so it makes me uncomfortable to watch because of this. I understand it's your style but if you would speak normally your channel would probably double in viewing. Literally my ears hurt everytime you suddenly shout, and if i turn the volume down to minimum I can barely hear you, so all in all I can't watch your content because of this reason alone, sadly. Otherwise great content man. Hope you take no offence, nothing against you at all. Cheers
i told my girlfriend i preferred her sister, no offence i said but she is prettier, she didnt take it well 👍

The music choice is all super compressed artificial sounding stuff ... 🥑👄🥑
I wonder if you actually understand what compression in audio really is? Artificial? Please explain this notion that a musical instrument can be artificial. Only if something claims to be something else could it be artificial surely? Electronic music is what it says it is therefore by definition cannot be artificial.
funny that Dali use TPA 3118 not even D2 revision of it same use in soundlink mini firt gen🤣 bose sound flex is bose soundlink micro everything insaid is the same except drivers battery and passive radiator.. company making a lot money reuse all old components.
thats capitalism for you 😭
