I prefer Onyx Studio 8. The issue with too bassy speakers is that if the sound is not loud you cannot appreciate it. With Onyx, even with 30%, you hear everything at its best.
yeah, BB3 is louder , the bass is louder too, but for what ypu are paying for the OS8 you are getting much more refined audio, and overall clearer sounds , a loud bass is not better than a refined and clear bass.
I believe that in order to evaluate the sound quality, the comparison should be done at the same volume. They have completely different power. If you just set 80% on both devices, boombox sounds significantly louder. Please add this kind of comparison to your tests
To me the Onyx is more refined, very composed and compressed sounds. The bb3 has kind of loud noise around it. And i prefer composed and compressed sounds more. So the onyx ix my pick.
Heavy bass is a must but doesnt mean its good overall, but with the price gap, i rather go 2 HKOS8 (stereo paired) instead of single BB3, for bigger sound stage and of course much heavy bass with this setup 😂
I'm more of a bass head so I'll take the bb3 any day of the week.... But the onyx 8 does have great sounding highes and mids.... But the bb3 still wins in the end... Good job JBL😎💯
hello sir.. I have the same speaker Studio 8, and i am facing a problem, when i play music on it BT or AUX mode, after a few minutes it hangs with a buzzing sound and automatically powers off.i already rest it by the help of your video on youtube but problem is still their.can you please suggest me a solution to solve the problem..
Hey bro, i have a question for you. I'm thinking of buying hk onyx 8 for my car. Do you think it's enough for a sedan car? Loudness and power is enough? Thank you, like your videos...
Yes! You'll love the sound a lot better in a close space when it comes to quality and balance. I cannot judge your tolerance to loudness bcoz cars usually have bigger speakers.. so loudness maybe a question.
The tech specs are when the speakers are played on battery mode or AC mode? I've been with HK Onxy Studio speakers up to their 6 but, I would go with JBL for their higher output range and better portable/carry design. I would attach neck strap to JBL handlebar and wear it when on my Segway Ninebot S. HK Onxy Studio 8 design is horrible for carrying or wearing portability. JBL speaker battery mode always surpasses HK Onxy Studio battery mode by twice as much play time at full volume. I would usually have portable speaker connected to portable power tool battery power inverter anyway to get the best full range sound out of them over their battery mode and just replace drained power tool battery with a charged one to keep speaker going on the move and away from power outlets.
It's difficult to tell but the Onyx 8 seems to have richer more balanced sound, where as the boombox 3 is a lot clearer and greater seperation, but costs more than double the price of teh Onyx 8
O que percebi é que a onyx 8 tem um som mais refinado enquanto a bb3 tem um som muito bom e forte, mas temos que lembrar que a bb3 tem 130W vs 50W da OS8, sendo assim é óbvio que a bb3 ficará mais alto tendo em vista que a cada vez que dobramos a potência ganhamos +3db de pressão sonora, mas como qualidade e potencia são propósitos diferentes resumo que: quem deseja qualidade de estúdio vá de OS8 e quem presa pelo volume vá de bb3. Abraço e parabéns pelo vídeo!
I have the OS8 and that thing sounds so loud even at 50% also has to do with the quality input. its so clear and refined, my Roomate has the JBL and yeah its bass is def punchier but sounds terrible with anything else.
I just pulled the trigger on the Onyx 6 brand new right from Harmon Kardon for $100 bucks! I heard one at a mechanic shop that's about 80'X40'. I didnt even know what it was until I was told I could turn it down, because it was too loud! When I went to do to turn it down, and saw what I now know is an Onyx 6, I about crapped my pants! I could buy a 7 for $150 but why? The bad is I had already bought a new Sony receiver, Neumi BS5 speakers and a Elac 1010 subwoofer for my garage, when all I needed is an Onyx 6 on sale! I got good prices on the equipment through Amazon, but still spent $500 and needed to install wall mounts, run wires and find a place for a subwoofer. We also bought two JBL Charge 5's last week! So many choices out there. Would love to experience the Boombox 3, but the Onyx was a cheaper solution.
Since the price of bb3 equates almost to 2 os8, maybe you can do comparison between 1 bb3 vs 2 os8(link together) in the near future. Just a suggestion but i think more viewers are also gona like the idea. =)
O som dessas caixas é destinado a quem realmente valoriza qualidade sonora. A qualidade do áudio é significativamente superior à da JBL. Reforço: é para quem busca excelência em som. Se você só quer ouvir música sem se preocupar com a qualidade, eu recomendaria uma JBL.
Tryed them alive. There's no big difference in this video. But in reality BB3 is times better. I don't like the design of both of them. And Onyx is far behind in terms of functionality. But, in sound, (soundstage, loudness)... everything! Everything is much worse on Onyx. I wanted to save money... but, not this time.
I ratter bought a pair (x2) HK Onyx 8 to play on dual mode (no stereo availability) and i found them totally pleasant to listen , even having 2 of these HK it is cheaper than on JBL and sounds better by far!
Please sample real music with actual musical instruments! This is electronic computer generated sounds. Perhaps you like it, but it is not showcasing what the speakers can do! Try getting into classic rock! All original analog recordings; many remastered to high res lossless. Bass is supposed to be musical, with a range if notes, just like a actual lead guitar. Live music bass is not 'thump, thump, thump'! Try going to a small venue and hear some live music to educate your ears and palette!
Harman слишком высоко настроен,из за этого он кажется обладает более студийным звуком,но если слушать композиции где преобладают низкие частоты такие колонки начинают просто выделять вокал и композиция звучит так как будто там баса и никогда небыло и так её и записали. Проще говоря он чаще врёт!!!
I prefer Onyx Studio 8. The issue with too bassy speakers is that if the sound is not loud you cannot appreciate it. With Onyx, even with 30%, you hear everything at its best.
💯
Love the bass from both..BB3 sound fuller and heavier. But Onyx 8 is more refined and detailed
50 rms vs 130 rms. The fact your comparing them I lean to Onyx.
love the clarity of Harmon kardon
DSP at work
the onyx 8 still very nice for the price. clean sound. bb3 still even cleaner and fuller sound but very very expensive.
I want to get the BB3, but its design is making me lean towards the Onyx 8
Слушай звук а не дизайн! 😅
Its hard to find these kinds of proper sound comparisons on yt.. keep it up 👌🔥
Oh my!❤ I appreciate that🙏 Thank you!
Not if you look hard 😁
JBL anytime, anywhere and everyday
yeah, BB3 is louder , the bass is louder too, but for what ypu are paying for the OS8 you are getting much more refined audio, and overall clearer sounds , a loud bass is not better than a refined and clear bass.
Yes is all about it. The people don’t understand, the quality of the sound matter. Is not all about loud.
Now its clear to me that I should go for the H Kardon since detailed sound is all I want🤏😎
This was such a good review!!!! I guess I’ll buy the Boombox 3
Thank you🙏
Onyx 8 unplugged only delivers 30w, it was done with it plugged in delivering 50w rms and where does it increase the bass?
Jbl gets a powerboost while plugged in also.
This comparison is what i've been waiting for👏 finally thank you!! Still can't decide tho.. the BB3 is so expensive. Almost double the $$
thw power is triple, 50w vs 180w
@@raivons the question, this is continues power or RMS? Or it's just an distortion lever or peak power Max power
BB3 is worth to its price my comrade! That is the best portable bluetooth speaker in the world!🤪
One is ugly though
Wym double the price ? The studio 8 is 500$ lol

The HK sounds much,much better...the JBL has a more bass,but the better quality ,detailed sound,comes from the HK

Totally agree
Than have 2 bb3 as well... Is exactly the same thing.
@@inSaNe_44 its not, I mentioned price gap is a thing there 1 BB3 price almost hit 2 unit of OS8 if you go 2 BB3 then you in different server
i just recently buy JBL BB3 i love them both but JBL is much more applicable on outdoors. so pick the JBL BB3

Jbl sounds more clear/open and has more soundstage, while the HK spreads the sound out in a circle and sounds balanced.
Great detailed comparison .. please next time try with more songs please

Grandma pressed play button on BB3 and ran outside😂😂
🤣
Can any speaker outright beat the JBL?
Да. любая проф акустика😂
I just feel like Harman has a greater sound compare to it's size,harman is small compare bb3.
I ordered both 😂
which good
Which is better? I want to buy one let me know thanks
😂
If u wanna be louder. Chise the jbl.. if u wnna listening of softly music u can use the harman.....
Its different all of 2 brand's...
I believe if we compare 2 Onyx with 1 Boombox Onyx will certainly win
Im not a fan of jbl but for me jbl is winner it terms of bass and vocals
In my ears it seems that speakers are at a different level and it's hard to compare the quality of the sound.Other than that good comparison.
For sound Quality onyx 8 for me...
Onyx 8 for this Oldman
I know Harman Kardon owns jbl now
Does it mean Harman makes jbl too or are they separate companies idk but both makes really good Speakers
