If you’re in the market for a mid sized speaker, you’re probably being over whelmed with options cause there are countless small or no name speaker brands out there. But today we’re going to be looking into 2 mid sized speakers from perhaps the 2 biggest names in this space… and that’s the Sony XB32 and the JBL Charge 4. Even though they’re just speakers, they do have some major differences between them to take into consideration.

I researched these for 6 months before I bought ... narrowed down to Bose revolve and charge 4. Went with the charge 4 never lookin back. What an exceptional product. Buy the charge 4!
West Road Slacker Thanks!
Yes the charge 4 is much better
which should i choose between soundlink mini 2 and charge 4? both are similarly priced. Looking for quality and not loudness.
VVS Mann I just got the charge 4 3 days ago and I love it. The sound is super clear and the bass goes loud but not too loud that it gets distorted.
@@matthewmckoy955 its mono though right?
Paying a lot of money for MONO sound ...nice job, JBL!
Its mono audio because of the speaker size itself it actually covers over half the speaker
Just got my xb32 amazing product sound and the base is so clear it's great and its better than xb31 don't mislead people, love Sony, Sony all the way 🙌
MrGiedriokas nice dude
Sony Extra Bass Lover too...
I just brought xb32 , happy with batterylife?
@@GullySyde28 yes
Indeed sony sounds better but battery is pathetic and 20% restriction is like drying
Just press wps button on every speakers it automatically connects to other speakers.... Just connect with the very 1st speaker u pressed wps.. no need to open app or music centre
Ankitosanji gaming yeah but who’s going to have 5 speakers??
Love the graphs; you can see that JBL has more selective frequency, highlighting certain ones and separating them while Sony tries to show them all and results in a rounder but slightly muffled details.
The please charge 50 percent max thing can be fixed by turning off and turning back on while charging. YOUR WELCOME
You probably dont give a shit but if you are stoned like me during the covid times then you can watch pretty much all the new movies on InstaFlixxer. Have been streaming with my girlfriend for the last months xD
@Abdullah Brock definitely, been using InstaFlixxer for since november myself =)
Great Comparison bro! JBL has more of a summer-vibe but I also LOVE Sony as well
The jbl brand is morely a summer vibe as sony is more of a dark vibe night vibe and hood vibe 😂 i like both brands
Honestly, I find the audio test in your reviews somewhat lacking. The microphones you used do not represent the actual audio playback of these speakers. They are somewhat distorted and muffled in the video. I’ve personally heard both these speakers in stores, and I can tell you this: the Sony has a deeper bass that gives a more thrilling experience. The JBL on the other hand is richer in the mid to high frequencies, which is great for vocals and generally pop and classical music. If you’re someone like me who seeks a more energetic experience, then definitely go for the Sony. Otherwise, JBL is a great choice too. Personally, I find the LED lights on the Sony adds a little more cosmetic to the speaker itself, making it more appealing to me.
how is the microphone in sony xb32 may i know please
I'm listening to this video on my jbl charge for, AND THERE IS NO LATENCY
Nice i like most JBL Charge 4
Same
Yeah i have ch 4
Jbl charge 4 all the way
Yep
Team jbl! 💪
I just bought the Sony XB32. Even though I like the sound of it. I just discovered something I didn't like. It's that when it past 20% of battery Life it when down and couldn't bring it until it was about 50% and I had to turn it off and on again. I think Sony should do something about it, because of that I'm thinking of returne it. Also the controls buttons should be more illuminated. Not in the back of the speaker
Buy xb 33
It still says "please charge" but does not cut volume
yeah, on this review it's mentioned
Thank you so much for this! really good video!
Riiiight... ANND... stero vs mono right? But thanks and nice vid!
I'm not sure why but the audio does not do the Sony justice here. I've compared these speakers in the shop & JBL was a huge disappointment in comparison. When turning on live mode with the Sony, nothing else came close. I simply can't here a huge difference here with headphones or a home theatre with sub.. Never thought I'd say it but sony audio against the JBL kicks ass!
Karlosss riiight, I took charge 4 back same day since not in stereo. Love the xb32 it’s my new flip 5
@@avia4281 hey bro, Do you recommend it? How the batery works?I do not know if I buy it(sony xb 32)
@@avia4281 flip5 is mono too
Great!
is there a way that the bass in Charge 4 doesn't decrease with maximum volume?
For the WPC you didnt need Music center, you can pair it together only on the speakers
@@specops1214 Yes.. I have xb31 and xb60 and WPC is always without any problem
Pat - rik he probably doesn’t know how to use WPC first you have to go to the app and then hit the group speaker tab and then press search and on the other speaker press wpc button and after a few seconds they will connect together.
why dosent enybody talk about power what watt rms do the speakers have
bc its not always a clear indicator to loudness.
@@r3drift or bass quality
Idk the watt rms on the charge 4 is 30 watts
Becouse its stupid. It does matter to a certain degree but Overall not that much
Charge 4 has 30 watts and the sony have 32 watts
my friend has a xb41 just like i do and i just pressed the add button and got both of them paired easily no app(plays the same song in stereo mode)
Add is for stereo pairing 2 xb41s equals stereo pairing, wpc is for more then 2 and or various xb speaker models
U guys have latency on your charge 4? Mine works fine no noticeable latency with my iPhone or iPad on RUclips or Netflix.
what are your thoughts on the new skull candy indy truly wireless?
Good point about the wireless party chain process
Both are my favourite portable speakers
Im taking jbl charge 4
You can join two sony speakers via the app or ADD button.
I was looking at these recently as I have a HomePod but I really need something portable with solid volume. I know floor units aren't great but the XB32 sounded so much more balanced and smooth overall in the few places I've tried them out. The extra bass on the Sony really seemed to compliment the rest of the audio well. The JBL wasn't bad but it seemed to lack a little bass and maybe was a little more flat and bland in the highs and mids from what I heard.
Look up low frequency mode
get the sony it won't disapoint you
I’m on the ad Rn and I’m exited
can please make a comparison of the xb31 with the custom eq to match with the xb 32
I have both and they are both great
Great video
gym caddy quick do you think skullcandy will follow up on the wireless crusher headphone and come out with a 2nd one ? i been searching for a bass headphone and was wondering if i should pick them up
Jay D get the skullcandy crusher 360, it’s an updated version of it and it’s better with better sounding and more bass
Orlando Torrez they go for 300$ and thats my only downside
@@woobacckk true, true just go with the skull candy crushers because wow, the bass on that is crazzzzzzyyyyy
Please review JBL live 650btnc soon
I have the charge 4 and never experienced any latency, every reviewer has said that but I watch youtube all the time and it never lags or anything
Same here.
Maybe with android smartphones. I have big lipsync with the projector (android) ...only Aptx technology can fix the latency, specially APTX LL, and for this price, should have it..but yea..marketing
Thank you for the review , getting the Sony tomorrow 👍
Might as well get a JBL better sound quality n connect plus
Yeah get the sony it have better sound and more features
Gabriel QueTe importante jbl sound quality sucks and connect plus os last gen
Jbl charge 4 is better in much things
JBL all the way it is way more reliable
Everyone should hold out for xb33
it's sicker
could you plz make a video on the idance cyclone CY1000 ???
Best speaker reviewer
From what I hear the mids on xb32 are bit more foward sounding then chrage 4 also I find highs better on sony beacuse it doesn't seem overwhelme the mids like I find chrage 4 does now bass however I also feel sony is better it may go lower then chrage 4 and it might even be cleaner not overkilling the mids like chrage 4 does
So the xb42 is better than charge 4 ?
@@nicholaschanvn I dot own the xb32 but to me xb32 is better sounding then chrage 4 i used to have charge 4 I take it back returned it it had pretty decent bass but problem was mids where weak you couldn't hear them well highs where more in tuned with bass but they still kinda of got covered the doss soundbox XL which is one I ordered to replace my chrage 4 it's like 70$ on Amazon I am trying different brand hoping it's better then chrage 4 but I hear it has more flat sound but lower bass is pushed up or more this deeper then chrage 4 probably clearer same with mids and overall sound the bass does weaken at highest volume but even then it still sound pretty good
Braedons Rants & MORE exactly JBLs bluetooth speakers have overwhelming highs and they just sound too over processed to me
It would be more appreciated if you use a binaural microphone, because I don't know what you're using for now but the sound is a real mess and we can't really hear the difference.
I'm not trying to insult, just proposing you an idea to make the sound comparison "clearer" to watch/listen))
Binaural is only more accurate for imaging, not for actual sound. Binaural is all about room acoustics.
@@alanrossreviews binaural recording is more real and you hear the sounding better. There's a bigger range of frequencies with binaural, it's not just about environment...
@@ivanlukrainien2204 this is simply not true. what you are hearing is a representation of the stereo imagining with full spatial information thus its the best way to hear the stereo imaging of the speaker. however what you are hearing are all the room reflections and colouring of the sound, its actual a poor representation of frequency response. to actual measure frequency response you would use an Anechoic chamber which is the opposite of a room full of reflections. the way around that is a very near field measurement at less than a cm. Binaural favours spatial over accuracy.

What are your thoughts on the JBL Charge 4 vs the SRS-XB41?
i have the srs xb 41 and im also curious
I'm JBL fans,I have Xtreme 2 and Charge 4
What about flip 5 ??????
sony has better bass and clear sound and cool led lights
I don't know about you guys, but giving the user the ability to control equalizer settings through an app is a huge plus for me. As you know, we all have our own likes and dislikes with sounds. Some prefer more bass than others. Sony gives us a choice by letting us control that through an app whereas you're stuck with JBL's sound preferences.
Yes but my problem is Sony is more expensive then Jbl in my country. #(xb30 cost more then Jbl xstrem and xb32 is the same with xb41 in prices)
Equalizer is most important!
Did you do the range test with LDAC turned on or off? I think the higher quality LDAC might reduce the range, but you can turn that off.
I don't think you can
@@coolsquad7428 Yeah you can turn it off on your phone or in the sony app
Does either charge while in use or you have to stop using to charge ?
You can charge your phone and still play music with the charge 4
Both can charge your phone and play
@@quentendeclercq4792 I am referring to the speaker itself, I have a Sony that does not charge while it is in usee, that is what I want to confirm.
@@sholafatus1 ah, yes they can charge and play at the same time
This should be a three way review adding the UE boom
UE Speakers sounds like shit, I had a boom 2 and a friend of me has Megaboom 3...
I sent mine back and changed to XB31...
UE speakers sound so bad, no bass, no volume in sound... they get loud, but even the megaboom 3 could be a JBL flip 3 too...
I don't recommend buying one, it sounds cheap...
DasTomTom yours is probably broken because I’ve got the boom 3 and this thing sounds so damn amazing! , not just the loudness but also the surround sound so I don’t know wtf ur talking about with shit quality..I’ve heard worse
2000 subs with no videos challenge definitely heard worse but I do have to give him the no bass part of ue just isn’t there compared to these speakers
Threesome :’c
Bassokalypse the UE HYPERBOOM SOUNDS LOUDER AND CLEARER THEN THE BOOMBOX 2
How is the battery life on xb32 sony? I heard mixed reviews about it
around 6-8 hrs depending on the volume. Remember if you have a 20% battery, the audio will go down and can't do nothing until you charge it. This is for the sony
Using Sony xb 32 daily any problems with the speaker
What about battery life?
@@jed9894 battery life is good in standard mode 24hour with light off and with light on and extra bass on 14 hours
What about wear and tear as it is plastic,xb31 is grill based one.
@@akhilks742 lies
Please review the new Marshall tuffin speaker and compare it to other big speakers, I'm hosting a party in the summer
I still love sony because of the deep bass om 20hz vs charge 4 bass also the stereo
well that 20hz is crap they frequency range is imited by its size to 40 if not even 50Hz that 20hz thy claim is just bullshit cause you can not hear anything
True but it can get to true 50hz vs 60hz i think on the jbl charge 4 but both are a great choice
speaker things they both do good 60hz which is normally around the limit for such a speaker the Xtreme 2 or xb41 do 50Hz
Sony SRS XB32 How many watts of sound output does it have in total?
32
im here for the JBL Charge 4. USB-C and not the annoying battery warning. And it sounds better to me of course
Watching this with xb 32
41 here😏
41 here😏
I like the Charge 4 more becuase of the Design
Idk about all this latency everybody is talking about for the JBL speakers... I have a clip 3 and a charge 4 and I haven’t experienced any latency at all
Not with Android Sphones ( I don't know about Ios phones) ..try TV, projectors, laptop...200-300 ms
That's why Sony have LDAC and Philips AptX ..but still a little lipsync.
Only AptX LL technology truly eliminates lipsync
Sony WPC stands for Wireless Party Crasher. Because trying to connect multiple Sony speakers will crash any party.
Brevard Smith so does the jbl ;(
Gabriel QueTe importante yeah some people have issues with the new party boost were they cut in and out and connect plus is better.
I own both speaker and i have to say that sony is beter than JBL and cheaper price .
Can you tell us why do you prefer the sony?
I have sony xb32. It is great until now.
Not really a fan of the light show. Im going for charge 4
Lights can be turn off.
EDIT: Watched many videos, on some Sony sounds better, on others JBL. In the end person need to own two and check themselves. I start with Charge 4 for looks.
@@DeepInsideZettaiRyouiki I tried both in store and preferred the Sony
Pro Toss yes same here i watch tons snd it just like you said :(( but i’m busy so ...
How is it?
Same
Sony is better but you can turn off the lights
Sony xb32 got one!
My profile pic is JBL cause I have xtreme 2
I have an XB31. It sounds wonderful if you stand close to it, but tiny and loud if you stand further. It is loud inside, but not so loud outside. The XB31 is shit when it comes to resistence. I dropped it on a wool carpet from around 65cm and the front grill broke. I took the grill out, and it was cracked in 3 directions, the centre being over the SONY logo ( on the upper half ) . I let the speaker on the bed facing down, guess what? The left dustcap was pushed. Tried the hot glue stick method, worked but now it looks awful as it is covered in hot glue residue. Tried putting a little super glue gel on the bigger crack, the spot on the front became pure white. I was like WTF?! because the XB31 was like 1 month old and it wasn't cheap. It works perfectly tho.
The__Gdeluxe poor sony speaker, hope he gets better.
The newer xb22 and xb32 is more durable I had the sony xb22 and I drop it on hard floor before and the grill never cracked but it is popped out of place sense I toke it off but the plastic body is more durable then a fabric body
@@coolsquad7428 I have an XB32 now, the 31 broke in february =))
The__Gdeluxe oh ok also should I get the sony xb32 or the jbl flip 5

Whats the name of the song at 6:15
I think sony has now enable to turn off the low batt warning thru an update of the app... got the xb32.
Since when is USB C only on Android? Many Android Phones still use Micro-USB.
Yeah, but every new Phone will/should use USB C becouse its just better
Every phone today(newly released) has that usb type-c

@@nates180 i'm not lying lol, but i decided to go with the larger Sony xbx501g for $135
Kinky Kiwi I highly doubt you found that Sony speaker for 67 bucks
@@nates180 perks of working at best buy my dude
I really dislike this review, and almost misled me. First, the price. The JBL Charge 4 here in the UK retails for £140+, and the Sony is around £80+, it's a big price difference. I got 2 XB32 units for not much more than I would have paid for the Charge, and I bet the pair sounds way better than a single Charge 4. Second, the pairing, at least with 2 units was a breeze, pairing and switching between dual or stereo mode super easy right from the devices. Playing range and issues depends on the playing device. And finally, speaker positioning, like with any speaker, is important, and if you place the XB32 around 5-10 centimetres from a wall, you get a much punchier bass.
This time i like both speakers altough i never liked sony cause of there sound or the charge 4 cause of loudness but i didn´t expect the charge 4 to be louder than the sony was there any update for the charge 4 cause as i remember the xb30/31 are louder than the charge 4 ?
Die Charge 4 wird nach 70% nicht mehr sonderlich lauter. Bei der Xb32 werden die Bässe nicht mehr sonderlich lauter, der rest schon.
Meine Xb31 ist bei 14% nicht so laut wie mein Handy auf 14%. Heißt die unterstenl autstärkenstufen fehlen wenn man die Lautstärke über das Handy steuert. Kann ich mir gut vorstellen das die Charge 4 auf manchen Lautstärken lauter ist als die Sony.
@@fa14bi-78 Nein hast du richtig zugehört bzw weist du wovon er da redet nämlich von der maximalen laustärke nicht 50% laustärke im vergleich er sagt das die chatge 4 auf 100% lautstärke lauter ist

sony -- we have extra Bass mode in our speaker.
jbl -- you kiddo we have a low frequency mode and that nearly kill your passive radiator.
Remember that extra bass mode is just an auto eq while jbl low frequency mode is actually REMOVING all eq.
It also kills jbl fyi
Remember that extra bass mode on Sony sounds the same as the jbl charge 4 on NORMAL mode
So the sony was playing in bass mode, but the JBL speaker was not in bass mode (low frequency mode hold- Bluetooth and minus).. doesn't seem as fair.
The jbl isn't meant to be played in low frequency mode you'll blow the speakers.
@@rabbidpotatoegaming4514 not if you play it at a lower volume, yeah if you blast it at 100% in lfm then you will but not if you are just listening to normal music at a reasonable volume.

The histogram talk by itself. Sony got the wider range of sound which is richer to a most variable type of music. I think this reviews are always biased because they always sample on EDM. If you like EDM, R&B, Rap, take JBL is a no brainer, is almost designed for that, as opposite you like Rock, Indie, Blues which contains too many details take Sony coz wont disappoint you, dat simple.
Denon 250bt has better sound , but it doesn't have big bass
Denon has better more natural bass imho.

shaolin95 And I’m feeling sorry for you that you cannot read properly. Poor fellow.
How disappointing. Sony continued the completely unwanted 20% battery "feature". That's the reason I skipped the XB31/XB41 models. I HATE that on my 40. It's super annoying. Guess I'll be looking elsewhere for a replacement.
