Imo it’s kinda too late unless you’re a Bose loyalist. I’m not a hype beast when it comes to getting all the latest gear but I already sold my original original S1 pros to get Everse 8s and there’s really no reason to go back now.
Missed the bucket on this one. I still think there’s more S1’s sold than everse 8 as not many folk need all the features the E8 has..but ! The S1 Chas been out about 5 years and this is a pretty poor “ upgrade” They should have left the S1 as is and made an S2 with bigger woofer more spl and 1 more input. That would have done for those who like the s1 but would like a bit more and given people food for thought weather need all the features of the e8. DJ’s have transport and buskers usually have a trolley 😂
I agree with everything you're saying, I think they should release an S2 as well. Just like they have a Sub1 and a larger Sub2. To be fair this is just called S1 Pro "+" so we should not have expected anything crazy here. Maybe an S2+ is still coming. Regardless, makes me feel better about dropping $1.5G on a pair of EV8 lol
Hey Aaron, my brother is getting married in Northern MN in about 3 weeks. I am flying out to be there and will need to bring my own ceremony/outdoor reception system, because the one they had available locally was one of those all in one Fender PA packs. I only DJ at music events and festivals, so I am pretty novice when it comes to ceremonies. My first thought was to buy two Everse 8s with flight cases, the Shure wireless mic setup, and my Denon Prime Go, but the whole thing seems a bit expensive and cumbersome. Looking at these, I think I could get by with two of these, two of the wireless transmitters, an SM58, and put it all in two carry on backpacks. Then I can put the rest of my stuff in my checked baggage. Would this be able to replace the Everse 8 and expensive wireless mic setup? Would I still need to use a mixer or the Prime Go as a mixer? Thanks!
I would check and see if you can rent an Everse from GC or EMI Audio. They could also get you a wireless mic. Don't use those transmitters, the range is terrible and you will get drop outs. If you can't rent, go with the Everse 8. You could do the ceremony with the Prime Go too. Hope this helps!
@@AaronStrawn Thanks! I'll see if I can find one on the way from the cities up to Crosslake. I was planning on buying a mini system I can fly with, but might be best to rent.
Thus far I'm loving mine. Nice 3 (really 4) channels, very clean sound. I don't need to compare as it suits my needs perfectly. I'm literally just starting to learn guitar. Bought a nice Shure mic. Got the wireless mic/guitar transmitters, so everything is great wireless. They sit in the speaker nice and charge too. Very seamless to set up.
Hey this is a nice review I got a question I wanna enter on DJ world do u think the EV 30M will b good to starting and make sound for live music band it’s enough with 2 towers of those EV 30M
I still feel mackie thump go have a better value for money... Instead of Bluetooth i prefer an audio jack as i feel its more louder while with bluetooth it distorts faster..
Quick question, can I pair it with the original S1 pro with the new S1 pro+ through Bose connect app for party mode? I believe the new s1 pro+ only supports in the Bose music app?thank you and love your pro reviews !
Too little too late? Name another battery powered speaker with multiple integrated wireless transmitters on board I'll wait Know what you're saying b4 you say it
@@chadnliz2k11 Lol... I know exactly what I said BEFORE I said it. Too little, too late. Why would I need multiple wireless transmitters when I already own a bunch of them? Face it. This thing is way overpriced and doesn't put out enough sound, imo. But hey, if you like it, don't let my opinion on it stop you from getting it.
It actually says "ten feet" in the wordings above, did you notice on your video haha? The transmitter is pretty cool, it charges via the USB plug (so you do need to add a cable, it doesn't charge on its own), cool that the receiver is buit-in the unit. One less thing to plug. I wonder if it would work with any 2.4 transmitter or if you must use the Bose transmitter.
@@AaronStrawn it's perfect for busking. Clean set up. Convert any cheap XLR mic into a clean wireless mic and no need to power/connect any receiver. Much cheaper and cleaner than buying a separate Sure/Sennheiser system, cables, etc. I guess probably just about enough for a wedding ceremony as well, as long as you set up the speaker in the front, by the altar. For anything else, the Ev8 is a far better choice, especially if the price is the same.

It seems like EV specifically made that Everse for DJs. The S1 seems to be aimed at buskers

Man we had these in the back at Guitar Center & been ITCHING to open one lol
Cats out..pop it open!

That's awesome. Not every speaker is for everyone and every speaker has someone it is perfect for
Is it louder then the S1 pro?
Do we think the original bags still work?
No way lol, these guys are like apple. All new bags!
@@AaronStrawn For real? Where did you find that? Garbage move, Bose. If that was the case, then also make it sound better eyyyyyyy
100% Fits in the original S1 Backpack perfectly!
@@kirbykracklemusic I’m just assuming. Speaker companies love making us buy new bags
@@ScottP87 Did you grab one yet? Any opinion on if they can get louder than the original or if it sounds better?
I buy 2 of these with the sub .& not loud enough to cover 100 people with vocals. Made in china & the cheapest speakers u can buy in china

If you can just go for the 50s. The 30s are a bit small and while they work, you’ll want more.
My choice is the RCF J8s. Super versatile (especially if you get the ones with the mixer)
I still feel mackie thump go have a better value for money... Instead of Bluetooth i prefer an audio jack as i feel its more louder while with bluetooth it distorts faster..
I couldn't get down on those. The one I saw at GC just felt like a toy. I need to mess around with one
The Yorkville EXM Mobile 8 is a better choice, imo.
Love to be able to see one of these
Quick question, can I pair it with the original S1 pro with the new S1 pro+ through Bose connect app for party mode? I believe the new s1 pro+ only supports in the Bose music app?thank you and love your pro reviews !
That is a good question. If the S1 can't pair with the Bose music app, then I would say no.
I hate that the aux and bluetooth channel can only play one or the other.
Maybe that’s new for these. You can play BT and aux on the L1 pros
It can play both
Can I put together with my old s1 pro
Not sure
EV EVERSE 8 is still a better choice
I agree
Exm 8 beats both
@@Acordeonistain805 lol. You can't replace the battery on the EXM
@@Acordeonistain805 never heard of that one
@@AaronStrawn yorkville exm 8. Battery is not user replaceable.
Too little too late unless you're a Bose fanboy.

I'll wait

In app you can stream two speakers via Bluetooth at same time and you can stereo pair them
@@joekissfm I NEVER trust Bluetooth for a wedding ceremony. But hey, that's just me. 😉
I keep a cable handy, but have never had a BT dropout during a ceremony

Wait, what was 10 feet?
@@AaronStrawn from 4:37 in the video. Read the "full description". It says "up to ten feet of range".
I saw up to 30 feet but that's still weak. EV is having meetings about the next 8 inch battery model. Ba lea dat 😅
@@Realdjheisenberg I see that now. Wonder it says both. 10’ yikes 😬

Take the EV Everse 8
Oh yeah, I love mine
Way overpriced for what it is. And I bet it still sounds like a plastic box. My friend has the older model.
For a battery powered speaker, I think it's in line for that. I've heard it sounds great, but I also like the sound Bose does
