From an engineers point of view, the Bose is much more impressive. When the SoundLink mini was first released it showed the industry that you can get good audio out of a very small speaker. So much work and thought went into the SoundLink mini and for its size, its the best your going to get. The Jbl is still really good though.
Wow! You are a speaker freak! That is a good thing. :)
I had an order placed for the Flip 3 but after watching your reviews, I feel confident switching my order to a Flip 4.
Thank you for your excellent reviews.
Thanks for the help...much appreciated...none of the reviews made it this clear
I had my soundlink 2 for almost 3 years now. And up to now i’m still inlove with it
I had mine for 5-6 years. And just payed $50 to have it refurbished with bose. They changed the battery and replaced any part that needed replacement.
@@emilemouannes2236 wow thats cheap.. mine need 150$ for only replacing the battery :(
@@rabbittryingtokillme with bose directly? Which side or the world are you at?
@@emilemouannes2236 yeah.. at bose service center Bali, indonesia..
Keep up the good work buddy! You deserve more subs :D
I got the Bose Mini 2 since 4 years, and I’m still happy as on the first day
If your Bose will go in hibernation mode you won't be happy!
@@zeothorn Wow. Haven't you replaced the original battery yet?
The battery is good I manage to charge it, but I have bypass the USB ports, and charging direct on the hard wire +/- and worked, I added a micro USB port with charging protection! To replace the battery with a new one is not as simple as the battery is hard wired, but then again what's the point if the old battery is still good and hold the charge! Is just a firmware problem that I could not solve as the laptop won't recognise the device, and I did try multiple laptops in win 7 and win 10 and no joy!
That was a good idea to use a high quality binaural microphone. This way we can also make our own idea on the winner of the battle. Thanks
The Bose sounds way richer but you can also buy TWO flip 4s for that price!
I love these videos. One suggestion: could you try some different styles of music. People do listen to other genres besides rap/pop/R&B. Some classical/movie scores would be nice. And some classic rock (AC/DC, the Door, CCR, etc...). Thank you
Yup..rock music fans have a very different nice sound requirement. Esp for those listening to older records
JBL is not good for rock.
I used to depend on my Bose Soundlink too for quality at higher price. But twice I had trouble with the soft ware or whatever and it cost the same amount of money to repair as a new one costs. Hence I am now buying a JBL which I think looks colourful and much cheaper and the sound quality is not to be ashamed of either.
Thanks for the comparison!
I would choose Flip 4 for more balanced sound without bass boosting at low levels like bose, also it is waterproof, lighter, better battery life and easier to carry.
Ill go with the Flip 4, i like the design of the SL mini II and its sound quality but the Flip 4 has a way better price to quality rating..
Huge difference! Its easy to understand why the Bose cost twice.
love bose pure smooth sound...
surprisingly i like the sound signature of soundlink tho im a jbl fan
rajesh kumar so I have a JBL portable speaker and a Bose earphone XD
@@ashrimoybanerjee0312 Its from Massachusetts you idiot
He means the creator of Bose, Dr. Amar Bose, is a man of Indian origin
Thanks.....great video.
Dude I really liked the way u presented n finally I'm going for flip 4 ✌🏻
+Likhith Reddy glad you liked it Bro
Niether sounded particularly good to my ears and I'm suspecting the mic that was used. Sounds to me like the mic was a little harsh on the high end like most of the lower end condensers I come across. Good comparison nonetheless.
bose has better highs and clearer sound, but price for jbl is nice.
Jakub Lozinsky '
Price never lies
if u use for many years you only saving few penny per day..
lol I had both and the bose is just useless
I know Im kinda off topic but does anyone know of a good website to watch new series online ?
just a suggestion bro ...if you can improve on recording quality...that helps a lot.cheers👍
Both speakers are pretty good but I personally feel that the flip 4 is slightly better since the instrumentals sound louder and clearer than the bose... the sound in the bose sounds a bit compressed and only a few frequencies will be the “main focus” while in the flip 4 the range of frequencies sound equally as loud... Though, on the plus side, the bose have soundlink mini 2 have a little bass boost and it’s good at low volumes but on high volumes, the bass is a bit drowning and distorted while the jbl has good bass on high volume and very little bass on low volume... I will go with the jbl flip 4... If you really want to get a portable bose speaker, go with the bose soundlink revolve plus, not the bose soundlink mini version... These are just my honest opinions, pls don’t be mad at me if you prefer the bose soundlink mini 2 over the jbl flip 4... :)
Idk why but the Bose sounds sounds so much crisper on the high end and the bass on both sound really good
Wellington- Any chance you can do a battle between the JBL XTREME & The BRAVEN READY ELITE Active Outdoor Speaker?? Both Speakers are 40-Watts & pack a TON of Bass!
Just getting back to my bluetooth speakers. The Bose Mini is by far a superior unit in comparison. None of the tests I've seen have the demonstrators done what the instructions for the Mini say. Best performance is achieved when place close to a wall.
I bought the flip 4. But in this video it has no chance against the soundlink mini 2. The highs of the soundlink mini are much more natural. I don't think the flip 4 suffers because of too much highs. I think there are too much upper mids at about 4 khz. If one just reduce this band about - 5 dB everything is okay with the sound of the flip 4.
I'd like to see JBL Flip 4 vs. Bose SoundLink Color 2. Those two are in more similar price range.
Ping U me too!
Ping
Not me.
hi, I want to buy the flip 4 but I'm hesitating with the SoundLink mini color ii. I want to have the best in terms of balance, but also in resistance (waterproof, resistant etc) and the SoundLink mini 2 (not color) doesn't respond to those criterias. Do you have an opinion or an experience to help me chosing between the SoundLink mini COLOR ii and the flip 4?
thank you,
best regards
i have the flip4 and I love it
Sound quality winner: bose sl mini 2
Max vol. and bass winner: jbl flip 4
man... the sound quality differences are very distinguishable.
Bose for the win because it gives you this studio like sound quality that is very refined, clean, and soothing
I love flip 4 because of its features and IPx 7 water proof and the biggest thing is that it can connect with other JBL speakers
Absolutely. You get 2 in stereo for the price of one Bose!
sound difference is not much when compared to the price difference. As always, nicely shown the comparison
All this is, is a demonstration of how well your video records sound. There's no way to really judge sound quality from this video.
Bose is the most accurately representative speaker of the original audio on the market.
I have both. I use nose as a sound bar in bedroom with tv.. brilliant
Here in South Africa the BOSE SL Mini2 goes for R7800 (R4500 if you get a grey import)!!! and the Flip4 goes for R1600... I dont know why Bose is so crazy expensive here, but customers do not even think about buying Bose. I like the way Bose products sound but you have to take price into account...
Listening this in my Bose !
ME TOO!!
Idk why but your flip 4 sounds really weird in this video, my flip 4 definitely DOES NOT sound like that! Yours sounds way too sharp/too much treble/too thin and harsh, maybe it's also just your microphone...
The Sbh
Because bose much more dynamic than Jbl
In order to believe that jbl Which you own It has a different sound
translated by Gboard
My Flip 4 sounds to much trebles too , I feel
The Sbh i tested the flip4 yoday and i agree
Thomas W. Something is wrong bc my flip 4 does not sound like that I️ tested the same thing and the flip 4 wins against my older mini 2
Yea I agree
i would go with the flip 4 because it more portable and water proof and the highs were not bad at all, at least
for me
I agree that treble is little bit harsh on flip 4, but price - performance is good.
good video man
I think in this video Bose has a more clear sound. 😊❤
If your going for price and bass quality (and volume) i'd go for the JBL Flip 4 and i would suggest bose just for rich people who like clear and ambiant noise.
this review seems strange.. in many occassions on clavinetjunkie videos, the jbl flip 4 sounds much more vivid than this
excelente comparacion :)
better to use two JBL Flip 3 or one Bose Mini2 ? or one Charge
You can tell from this comparison that the Bose has more bass but that's not automatically a good thing, everything else sounds muffled in comparison to the JBL. I would be interesting to compare in person.
80% volume level is already too high. Most bt speakers after 70-75% start to distort. Try at 20% then 50% and then 80% or maybe max. It's more useful that way.
this. at 80%, crompression algorythms commence which favor loudness over dynamic and often lessen the bass
lol i don't know what kind cheap speakers u listen to because good speakers should not distort maybe at full volume but other than that no. But you are right it would be more professional to use different volume.
Jose ! You're actually right on the distortion of the sound after 80% volume, that's for cheap bt speakers.
Jbl flip 4 wins
I have a binaural mic and a flip 4 and Does not sound like that, yours sounds harsh and tinny but mine sounds rich and smooth what's wrong with yours?
I have no idea where you got your JBL flip 4 but mine sounds no where near yours.
I love the Crunchy of Flip 4
Yeah I kinda feel that the JBL was better in terms of treble (or highs as you said). I have the Bose Soundlink mini ii, but am not too pleased with it. It kinda mutes out some of the frequencies imo.
Very helpful
Bose's sound is so much richer and comfortable.
The Bose sounds pretty bad... TBH... Bose just used too much Equalization to hopefully compensate for their crappy speaker Drivers... The flip 4 sounds much better with the better speaker Drivers...
And it's price is also twice the JBL Flip 4
Its how I'm listening via my smartphone speaker to tell which sounds better lol😳
Use headphones....
@@ten._.s the bose speaker cost 100$ more
Personnally I don't have the neitheir of these but I think the JBL sounds is the clearest the bass is less effective than bose but I prefer it because the song is better .let me known if I'm wrong
Lol, it would appear that audio quality is pretty suggestive. Yes the flip sounds like it has more treble and mids. But they sound way off. It sounds glassy and cheap to me.
The mini sounds tighter, more pleasant to listen to. The bass is a little too boosted for my taste.
having listened personally to both, soundlink mini 1/2 have a better overall sound quality, with deeper bass that makes it sound like if it were a bigger box. if you want the best sound quality on it’s size and have the cash, grab it. you wont regret. So where flip4 fits in? it is more weather rugged capable, so if you want to take it to swimm or if the extra cash is a concern, flip4 may be a good choice. just don’t expect a huge amount of bass there. if you want more bass and still short on the cash, go charge3.
Que bien suena el Bose, sonido muy cálido. Joya.
in comparison with FLIP4 the speaker BOSE sounds as if from under the blankets. All frequencies of JBL sound are tuned to a maximum up, so they sound very sharp. I think this can be fixed in the player's EQ
I had an SL Mini II that I sold as soon as I heard a friends JBL Flip 3. While it is true that the Bose has a warmer sound at lower volumes, all bass is removed at higher volumes and the speaker is simply extremely quiet overall - 100% volume on the Bose is around 60% on JbL Flip. The Flip goes A LOT louder to the point where its not even a fair comparison, better maintains bass and has a much higher treble resolution. As soon as you place the Soundlink further away from you it will sound extremely anemic and weak, and the already muffled highs are extremely directional, meaning if you do not face the speaker straight, it will sound even more muffled. Not to mention that my friend picked up his Flip 3 SE on sale for just 50 bucks!
No one sells a Bose for a JBL don't lie 😂
little difference in terms of sound. but in terms of price? what do you think...?
Guys help. Sony Xb41 vs Bose SL mini 2
Which has more bass?
I'm torn..I really want the Bose, Costco has the Bose for $149.00 and Base Exchange has the flip 4 for $49.00 black Friday 2018. What would you all do????? Please help.
Black Fri 2018. What did you end up doing?
something seems off with your mic. my flip 4 sound completely different. we also have the soundlink mini 2 and even though the sl mini 2 sounds slightly better the price difference isn't justified by that.
JBL Flip 4 Hands down. Detail and Loudness is there.
Hey there!! Nice video! I recently bought the Flip 4. According to your video, the Bose sounds slightly better but is not really affordable in my country. The truth is that the flip 4 was almost three times cheaper ! Yikes.
Now i am wondering about the scope when connected via bluetooth. It is said to be about 13 mts2 for the flip4. How about the Bose?
They should be about the same range because they are running the same version of Bluetooth
overall audio output quality is what I prefer so I will choose bose soundlink mini II.
Bose does have more rich sound than jbl flip 4....... thank you willington brother...for the review...👍👍
Bose SoundLink mini 2 more treble but the bass was similar to Flip 4.
For an inexpensive speaker the JBL Flip 4 ain't too bad!
flipの方は薄い小さな音に纏われているようなはっきりしない音に聴こえる
個人的にはsoundlinkの方が好み
Please compare Sony xb3 with flip 4. 🙏
abhishek shaw no
Please, the comparison with sony xb40, xb30 vs bose soundlink mini, thank's bro
Already owning a JBL Flip 4 (and 3, but nothing comparable), I bought today the Bose... Well it is a bit better than the JBL, but... I am really not sure about whether the price difference is justified 😯 Actually, the Bose is 2 JBL worth in price but 2 JBL Flip 4 playing together are definitly better than a single Bose... I guess I am a bit disapointed >
Listening to this with a JBL Extreme
As a marketing specilist I can tell you that is normal for consumers that pay so much money for a speaker to have a placebo effect on quality, that applies to bose speakers, the brand that makes portable speakers only worth using inside and that actually cant compete to real brands on the house speaker market where jbl, fluance, micca, denton, etc. are way better
please compare Bose SL Mini 2 VS Nakamichi NBS 701, Thx b4
Loving the sound from the BOSE. Listening to it through the flip4😂
I like them both, but the flip is $100 cheaper and waterproof.
So ya I got the flip4 and love it.
Bose wins by a HUGE margin (indoors). Far crisper mids make it the runaway winner for overall sound quality. But, I'm thinking JBL might be a better choice for outdoors and larger open areas, though.
Thanks ... amazing video
JBL flip 4 winner no doubt
Here it's something very important that no one talk about: THE PRICE. The Bose it's almost twice expensive than the JBL.
In the shop Bose Color II had the best sound (like on bulbs ;p). But not so loud.
Well I decided, I buy both of them !! :)
bro i got both of them too . you the only one think like me 😅
Con này mấy tiền a à
Bose Speakers are the best... A faithfully costumer for the past 18 years!
But jbl LOUDER than bose
80% volume ??? that's crazy, most of the peaole use 10 to 25 %, except in the jungle where they have no neightbours
Bose sounds better. I had compared those already. JBL has more treble that I don't like. Bose is more balanced with good quality of sound.
You can always adjust the treble on your phone/PC's EQ. That may help.
One thing nobody is taking into consideration is that our hearing is not the same for everyone. I for one have hearing loss where the too much treble sounds tinny to me and some base is easier on my ears👂 and for that reason I chose the Bose Soundlink Mini II.
jlb is more commercial so the majority always says it's better. I recommend that you go to a store where you can try both and realize that bose has more sound quality. I have the SMini I, I had compared it with speakers of my friends and the truth is that I haven't found something better (taking account the size obviously) I clarify that I am not married to any brand, if I found something better I would buy it.
Eloy Garcia well said
Awesome, thanks shows in the price. Quality is worth the extra buck though.
B&O A1 is better than SM2
Agreed ,?mini 2 rocks
The flip 4 has a low frequency setting create a few old down the minus button and the Bluetooth button it'll switch over to low frequency takes about 30 seconds of holding the buttons down increases the bass and mellows out the speaker without losing any sound quality. I wonder how many people actually know of this hey cuz I always see these comparisons but nobody ever says anything about the flip 4 s low frequency setting
Flip 4 is 49.99 no tax 2018 black Friday and bose is 149.00 at Costco. What do yall think I should do? I do like base, but money tight
As far as a volume comparison, I think you'd have to resort to full power because you can't be sure that you're really getting precisely 80% of full output power for a fair comparison.
Don't speak about the price, if we speak about dimensions flip 4 is the best on the market for now,and don't forget you can crossover it if you put it on and after hold "volume down+Bluethoot" for 10 sec you will get a mega bass but after you have to be careful with the volume to don't destroy it
The flip 4 is more open sound but the Bose is more projected so it sounds better of but I like the flip 4
IMO the JBL sounds "hollow". The soundlink mini is tight and rich.
Grumpyfoot Vids exactly
Coz' SoundLink mini favors a balanced sound signature
Grumpyfoot Vids weird that you prefer the plastic clock shaped speaker
Paolo Calaycay I agree both are made for different purpose, JBL is a outdoor speaker while the Bose is mostly a indoor speaker
Who is the best BOSE or Flip 4
I bought mine in Thailand for a tenner
I use to have Soundlink mini 2 too much bass .
The high frequency not clear.
And jbl flip 4 I think it good for all frequency.
The sound of the JBL flip 4 is not that bad ! Why the highs are cutted ? I own the Flip 4 and the highs go up to 20kHZ
Guys should I get xb33 or xb43 or soundlink mini 2?
