The reason I couldn't pick a clear winner from first to last because all of these speakers are similar but very different. In my opinion I would go with. Boombox 2,XP-500,XG500, Xp-700 this scale is to benefit my usage case scenarios as a home body that bearly goes out. My question is who do you think won this battle
Some things I wanted to add on. Both of the XP speakers have tablet slots that can fit 9.5 inch long tablets. And they also include Battery Care which limits maximum charge to 90% to preserve the longevity of your battery and stamina mode to help further preserve your battery life. But Sony's battery management pretty much take cares of that so that is why I did not talk about it.
@@TheAscendedTechNinja I think XP500 with poweramp would be tough, but I think that the speaker is set up a little better than the xg500 and xp700. Just weird why? It seems this speaker has gotten the most attention when comparing the sound quality to the XG500 and XP700, so I don't think it really boosts the poweramp or dolby, but rather encourages clipping.
@@TheAscendedTechNinja I have to correct myself again, I only tested the xp 700 in my technology market and didn't test the xp 500 at all, because everyone said it has no good bass and the xg500 sounds better xD
Lol I fell you. I was not expecting the Xp-500 to sound good. Well at least in AC Mode in comparison to the 700. I love the soundstage but the deep bass just sucks
@@TheAscendedTechNinja Yes thank you. If they work out maybe I will upgrade to the SRS XV900? I hope I can daisy chain the SRS xp700 with the SRS xp500 ?
Just for fun, when you get all JBL Partybox do this JBL pb 100+310+710+1000 Using Samsung dual audio and line in and out cables My XP500 sounds too quiet for it's size, I modified the amp and even sealed the speaker because I am planning to buy and install a passive radiator so that the bass can get deeper
I just bought an XP500 because of this review man. I really did NOT need another speaker, but it was $150 shipped and how can I say no when JBL wants $150 for a charge 5 😂 Has there been any more firmware revisions for the XP since this review?
Many bluetooth speakers these days can produce deep bass, the jbl boombox 2 gets weak below 40hz and honestly below 40hz? We are talking about very low frequencies here and from about 35 Hz you only perceive oscillations or vibrations that spread. Jbl has installed a good passive radiator for this, where you can also perceive vibrations from 45 Hz, so it feels deeper than other speakers, although it is only strong from 45 Hz.
The XG-500 is the sony's most stable speaker unit, also paired with 2 huge passive radiators, but this is where the difference between the xg500 and jbl box 2 lies. The passive radiators even come down very far thanks to the two woofers from Sony, but they don't feel like they vibrate at all and that's why there is a difference, although the speakers give nothing at all in the deep bass, according to my analysis, also play a frequency of 40 Hz strongly and weaken at around 38-37, from the technical data and practical test Sony has caught up a bit with it.. Criticism material and construction of the passive radiators, they don't give the feeling of playing below 40hz and they are made of fabric and this dampens!!
True I mentioned where the Boombox 2 is stronger in bass than the others. I think the Boombox 3 has a peak at 40Hz and dies off at 35Hz. According to JBL'S track record and leaked bass tedt
@@TheAscendedTechNinja The jbl box 2 is not the strongest but has the Crunchy bass and Sony XG 500 rather soft bass. Nevertheless, the XG 500, as already written, is just as deep and can achieve very good results when analyzing the frequencies. This means that the frequencies are the same, but thanks to the passive radiators, they come across differently even though the frequency is unchanged.
Great video bro. Not interested in any of these speakers, but came to show support 😁. You becoming a natural at this bro. Completely Irrelevant to my comment, but that Bass on the 700 sounds so weak to me, given how big it is.
Thank you bro I appreciate the feedback. And the XP700 deep bass is extremely weak it only had more present deep bass than the XG-500 and the most upper bass.
@@TheAscendedTechNinja No problem bro. And that’s exactly what I thought. Heard minimal rumble, and more punch than anything. Soundstage was decent, bass not that deep. Gonna be good for outside and parties most definitely though.
great review! i got two xg500 to pair outside gigs. its ok for 169$ refurbished price.i use the glycox app on phone? it sounds pretty decent. but im never going to get that jbl thump outa it. but it does the job..🤨
Thanks for watching but As far as upper bass The Boombox 2 doesn't have to much of it. But it still does well in deep bass so id that what you are referring to🤔
Hello no pressure, but can you buy the Gemini SOSP-8 floating speaker, and JBL Partybox encore(essential), and try to compare it with the speakers you currently have
Thanks for the recommendations. I might review the Gemini later on once I covered all other party boxes. I'm going to review just the party box encore so I can kill two birds with one stone
@jeevansatav it's cheaper by a good margin, but if you want to use this as a portable party speaker, it's extremely quiet like JBL Xtreme 4 max volume at 80% battery
nice video as always mate, i think the Boombox 2 is the best sounding here, what a pity that's is not loud and powerful enough at max. I suggest you to try the partybox series as well, I've also seen that the latest model received an update and you now have a 3 band eq so yeah it would be the best to get your opinion about them
Great question 😂 They actually like me believe it or not. I have a wonderful naborhood since its mostly quite and mostly everyone gets along. Only 2 other people play loud music even though I am the loudest 😎
The XP700 has a better soundstage than the Boombox 3, but the Boombox 3 is significantly louder than the Boombox 2 plus the extra deep bass is nice, or the upcoming JBL Partybox 320
Compared the xp500 and the xp700, definitely the 700 is the best, way more louder and more bass, is does get a little bit brighter pass 80 percent volume but still sound very good and loud especially if you have a wall to bounce the sound off. I prefer to have the 700 because I can charge it and have very loud music in a car, at home or outdoor, and I like the pairing features as well which allows me to connect multiple smaller speakers together and yes it gets even louder and punchier when you pair em up. for me the 700 is the best here, followed by the xp500 and the xg500 and the boombox are more or less the same. See two 700 pairing: ruclips.net/video/7qBkpjClnJM/видео.html
The XP-700 having the best potential performance to a degree yes but in general the best speaker that can be a debate depending on what you want. And Party connect cuts deep bass just to emphasize upper and mid bass. But the Xp speakers aren't loud for long with the battery management. And the Boombox 2 for its size is the most impressive but not the best sounding that would be the XP700
@@TheAscendedTechNinja With two pairing xp700 the deep bass was still present, I rock a party with those indoors was much better because of the wall. the jbl boombox two is quite good, almost the same as the first one (not for large partiers though), but the 700 win in comparison in my opinion, but yes I think Sony could have made it even louder for its size definitely. I'm a jbl fan, but lately Sony has been working really hard and I've grown lo like em again, they seem to be doing better now. Jbl really need to work harder to own the market again with more features, pairing, but their sound signature is dope. chapeau to em both
