Alan Ross Reviews Top Picks: Full list at www.otza.com/speakers/
Top For value
Tribit Stormbox Blast: Pound for pound champ! Unbeatable combination of deep bass and balance imho for the money. geni.us/stormboxblast
Special shout-out
Soundcore Motion Boom: geni.us/motionboom Amazingly deep bass to 40hz for its size and price. My last pound for pound champ before the Blast.
Mifa Wildbox A Motion Boom alternative.. Some prefer its more neutral sound (they say) .geni.us/mifawildbox
Soundcore Motion Plus Still worth a look, my original world pound for pound champ the Motion Plus can still offer great clarity.
geni.us/soundcoremotionplus
£50 champion:
Soundcore Boost V2 Great bass for its size, This is classed as a compact travel speaker but for me is a best buy at around £50.
geni.us/soundcoreboost
Good value Speakers I actually listen to:
JBL PartyBox Encore: Very small battery but VFM for a deep bass party speaker
geni.us/jblpartyboxencore
Harman Kardon Go+ Play 3: warmer, smoother and bigger sounding than the go play 2, geni.us/goplay3
Onyx Studio 5/6 These two speakers are the most deep bass heavy of the entire Onyx Studio series.
geni.us/onyxstudio6
Bag of Riddim 2: Not for everyone but a lot of fun especially with some reggae music geni.us/bagofriddim
JBL Boombox 3 WiFi: Crazy price but I much prefer its balance to that of the BB3 bluetooth only edition which has a silly 700hz peak
geni.us/jblboombox3
Minirig mk3 2.2 system: The Minirigs are as fiddly as hell to setup and the app is flakey but when you get it right and the full 2.2 system (or 4.2 with the minis) is a fantastic hifi like listen.

Even those who don’t care for your entertaining style should keep watching for the useful data and balanced judgments. I value both. Thanks, and don’t quit.
who said im quitting? 😝 i might have a new year slow down but i wont quit 😁
OMG Alan, I just saw ya getup on this video and it's spectacular, keep up grande work!
😊👌
Appreciate the review. Love the Comparisons. Alas its not different enough to pass over my current 360 speaker. Surprisingly you've made a great case for the Stormbox Pro!
it was a surprise to me too 😝
Thanks for another entertaining one, yet another Soundcore on the market, it's getting hard to keep up. They must love you at Soundcore, maybe next one the Motion Boom Ross? 😂
i think hate is the actual word you are looking for 🤣 they are trying to flood the market thats clear
I believe the official name will be: "Ross Motion, Boom!"
Hello Alan, Thank you so much for great review as always 😊👍 Please could you share your EQ for Soundcore Glow? Because I'm little bit disappointed with preset EQ's... Thank you so much and I wish you Happy New Year 🎉
there isnt much you can do with it, there isnt much leeway, i tamed it a little but its subtle.
Great video Alan! It would be fun with a battle between Tribit Stormbox Pro & W-KING D320
i think pro is different level?
Really enjoyed that, thanks! Tribit looks good value, would get it if I was in market for a 360°, but Stockwell 2 works pretty well in that regard. And the rooms in my old house are too small to really need one 😂
it doesnt have the class of the stockwell 2, you are not missing out from that point of view
Great job Alan. Alan i keep goin back to grabbin the tozo pa2 not pa1 for when i wanna use a small speaker . The other day they had it for 29.99 was on sale for 39.99 then extra 10 off but out of all the recent smaller size speakers ive bought and most returned lol motion 300 bogasing m5 flip 6 the tozo pa2 is the one that legit surprised the hell outta me. Hopefully they get one of em to ya to test out. Take care Alan and hope you have a great xmas and new year!!!
nobody contacts me any more apart from tribit 😁 even w-king are blanking me, emailed twice about that 200 watt x20
@@alanrossreviews they're idiots then ... why not use good feedback to make their stuff better!?!????
@@wadec6799 i dont know, these companies are all a bit strange, have to protect the narrative on their speakers.
Love it ❤
The video hopefully 🤣
i really love the lights effect on the glow...its like disco vibes
Yup its a starburst
nice comparisons sir
many thanks 👍👍
Hey Allan! Good video!
Can u please review the Skullcandy Stomp Bluetooth party speaker?
Who? 😊 Whats the usp?
I like the sturdy handle on the stormbox pro. I hang it on a tree branch when I'm working in the yard and it sounds pretty good.
Besides the base issue, Version one had battery problems and they'd stop taking a charge. I went through a bunch of units before tribit finally sent me a version two. I don't how tf that first piece of junk left the factory, but I'm satisfied with the one i have now.
The one and only true and trusted reviewer ever. Thanks for sharing your tests, data and knowings once more!
thanks for your long term support. 😁 but im not the only honest guy out there but we all tend to have small channels.
Just under 1hr??? This better be gooooood!! 😜👍🏽🤣
verdict???????????????
Alan, does your Minirig Distort? I've got 2 and they've been distorting the sound since new. 😔 At low gain mode.
no thats not something mine have ever done, not so its audible to me anyways. mk4 coming soon.
Is the tribit storm box pro better than the tribit flow or the Bose flex?
Thanks 🎉❤❤
You're welcome 😊
I am one of those oddities that still really likes the Flare 2. Maybe that's because it still has the classic soundcore tuning and I don't usually go over 50% volume on the little guy?
Possibly little known tip: If you turn the flare 2 upside down it fits in every pool float cup holder and the drivers are on the bottom so the sound is not hampered. Instant cheap floating bluetooth speaker!
you can kinda achieve that effect also by placing it in an armband..... 😝
Hey love your channel, bit off topic, would it be a good idea to install some kind of tweeters to a soundcore boom?
like the mifa wildbox? 😁😁
@@alanrossreviews Yeah, something like that, any good cheapish tweeters for the motion boom? 🎼👨🎤
Alan, what Bluetooth speaker did you recommend for 90 euros with strong bass and clear sound? I'm considering Motion Boom or XSound Mega for listening to most edm, sometimes rock or metal, but I'd rather ask someone who knows more about it, you do great reviews of speakers, these tests are great to listen to and watch. Greetings from Poland. 😀
Boom beats the mega but you will need to use custom eq to bring out some clarity. You might find a deal on the mifa wildbox which can be more neutral than the boom but depends what firmware you get.
Let's glow!!! :p and you threw the minirig 3 into the mix? Very nice
Mk4 is being teased by minirig
@alanrossreviews I genuinely can't wait to see that review, and I noticed the link to the detailed list of speakers that you recommended had to check it out before I got further into the video :)
@@mattdewolfe5648 just did that this week, im gonna keep it updated but not sure i will do any more written reviews, i just had an urge to try it
@alanrossreviews right on I think it was well written, thoroughly detailed and I'm actually tempted to purchase some of speakers you mentioned :p
there's always another speaker we would like to get 😁
You look absolutly stunning..and NO im not talking about the speaker.
If that was true id be very happy but im a realist 🤪
@@alanrossreviews Best HAIR ON youtube...BAR NONE....
Well Ross , the prices right here in Greece have gone crazy ! Let me explain , motion plus : 155 (amazon) , stormbox blast : 230(amazon with free shipping) , boombox 3 : 350 (not amazon and without discount). Considering everything i have found . . . Im gonna keep my motion boom for now ! Also what are your thoughts about the Sony speakers ,like the xg500 ?
Nice video by the way . . . As always !
the sony speakers seem quite average from what ive seen.
Thanks for the test Alan. I'll watch soon. Even if im not into 360° speaker. Or new spatial speakers. I like more the stereo bt speaker, which are so boring. And I like 2 of them for good old stereo. So much better than all this new 360 and spatial bull****
yup spatial madness! im not so much a 360 myself but if you walk about a lot they make sense.
@@alanrossreviews As an experiment I put my Cambridge Audio SX60's back to back to simulate the 360 lark, to me they sounded stupid😂
@@nebojsanestorovic1416 ultimately stereo is never mixed to account for 360 speakers, they are always gonna sound off 💁
Another great video Alan!!!! Absolutely hate see the new tuning of these soundcore speakers, but I guess maybe the masses must like it lol. I was really looking forward to this new version of the flare too, it's not bad but could've been better imo.
Wondering will the EQ make any big difference for this speaker??
only slightly, you can smooth it out but nothing dramatic. Hope things are a bit better these days for you and you can have a nice Christmas! 🤞
@@alanrossreviews Well gonna have to sit this one out then. Was definitely looking forward to it.
And thanks for that Alan 👏🏾
Hope things are well for you as well, and always hoping for big great things to come your way. 2024 is your year 😝😝
@@thatboyneedssomemilkholemd819 2024 the year soundcore get back to vfm and not marketing bullshit 🤞😂
I'm looking for a speaker for my daughter to dance around in the room, so lights and 360 are important for me.
Do I understand right that the glow is not perfect but it's a good speaker for the buck, and with EQ it can be made sound better (cutting the higher freqs)?
Peculiar style, but amazing review, hands down man!
no its not a lively dance speaker, its more sedate and pleasant, i wouldnt recommend it,m the tribit stormbox blast would be better but no lights. does it have to be 360?
@@alanrossreviews not necessarily, but kid is moving a lot, so I won't reposition the speaker all the time
Got some Glow for sure
Those lights r prettt nuts
like a sunray
Does the MINIRIG have an AUX OUTPUT so that you can connect a portable speaker with an AUX input to IT?
yes
Such a crazy guy 😅
But really good reviews technically
😁😁
If someone had 4 of the glows, can 2 do the left channel and 2 do the right channel?
nope!
Perhaps do you have a custom EQ?
you cant do much with that high end peak, you can tame it little and smooth out the overall sound but not in a dramatic way
Let's hope minirig reach out about the 4.
i doubt it, they never wanted to work with me for some reason. I have asked in the past. They once offered a loaner when the bigger channels were finished with it 😂 i just bought my own after that!
hi, can you try xdobo x8 plus? thanks
nothing much to get excited about there sadly.
Cool lights, what about the sound ?
Can't wait to find out 😊
Its typical modern soundcore, bright and thin but reasonable for the money 😜
@@alanrossreviews Great, not for me then 🤪
@@ThibautMahringer i doubt it's for you, stormbox pro better value
@@alanrossreviews Yep, but sadly the Tribit does not have much value for me, I already got good speakers at this kind of size.
I would need a speaker doing something special (while sounding good) for me to care
@@ThibautMahringer well the wait continues then 🤫
Which is better glow or motion plus , now it has same price in india, which one should i buy
whats the magic word?
Instead of making new 360* speakers they should make more unique frontward firing speakers or stereo. Amd possibly make them more on the party side 😁
how many variations of front firing can there be? in this form factor that get away with a single driver.
I must say that I don't like how either of these speakers sound, and that I'm still happy to have my Motion+ with me.
360 speakers are always a tradeoff from the on axis listening position. of course the motion plus nails all of them on axis 👍
Sounlink lll was destroying motion+
@@HAIYANE9910 you're mad, LMAO.
Can you turn off the lights in thw glow
Yes
I've planned to start Giant Professional audio company in 2030, I've also planned to acquire some of small companies like tronsmart specially Soundcore (to stop making Bluetooth speakers with poor hardwares and massive awful marketings.) That's my only way to force stop what these companies doing with wrong direction.
This will be the level of Harman Kardon, the company i've planning to start.
So we both have a similar idea
dont forget to send me something to review 😋
I called it "audiotech", or i should change the name, because it's almost quite similar to Logitech? As a founder, i need help, to be able to grow my company to destruct harman international, I don't want to be JBL like story.
Would you interested to test any headphones?
I got a Sony a few years ago with lights that had good reviews. Don't remember the model but it wasn't cheap, over $100. Thought the lights would be a cool little added benefit but actually grew annoyed with them quickly and turned them off. Ended up returning the speaker because it didn't really have the sound I was looking for. Anyways, point is I think lights are gimmicky and won't ever factor them in again on a purchase.
I only go by sound but if the speaker has lights i do like the effect
@@alanrossreviews I think it would have been cool if the lights were in sync with the beat of the music but they weren't, hence annoying for me. But yeah, it's all about the sound at the end of the day and this speaker had great reviews for it's sound. You know, lot's of people seem to love Sony.....
every brand has its fanboys 😁
@@alanrossreviewstrue but I have never seen a speaker with lights that's sync so well with the the music as my xb43
@@billparker7410 i think sony updated it meanwhile, nowadays their speakers are in sync mostly (i have xb33 and xb43)
Okay, this will be more interesting. Audiotech will be the starting brand name of my company, and if my company surfully expand or become much larger then, later i will change the brand name into Zenix, is that cool name to change??
dont plan name change, getting branding right from the start
@@alanrossreviews so Zenix only instead?
@@HAIYANE9910 audiotech was better i think....
@@alanrossreviews but i was thinking that it almost the same as Logitech, i even think that i can get copyright possible😭
@@HAIYANE9910 then what about notlogitechaudio? 😂😂

Not soon anyways

Because if I've only focus in this, there will be nothing happeneds, i need to start this decision to control wrong route companies.
i will wait for your next move 😝
Looks ok but much better options out there... soundcore is kinda just meh anymore
its really about the 360 form factor but then again the beosound a1 does it all for me in a tiny size
@alanrossreviews very true, I mean like you pointed out other company's have been doing it for much longer and mostly much better, it's not to shabby though I don't think I'll get one myself
JBL pulse 3 one of true 360😊
Indeed, if i could buy everything i would but we already know that one is for looks only
@@alanrossreviews yep, but it has better true 360 than pulse 5
@@HAIYANE9910 do you have one?
@@alanrossreviews I don't have, but I've tested it few weeks ago
you liked it?
Not bad at all...
not bad, not great. in the old days we were saying oh here's another great speaker from soundcore, when did we last say that?
@@alanrossreviews idk like 2022 or 2020
yup!
The “new” JBL Pulse 5 sucks… they do not have volume or play / pause buttons on it. I like JBL but that featureless mess shouldn’t have made it past the drawing board.
Ross the boss!
but its got lights 😭😭😭
First😂
so closeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee but no cigar today 😂
You are doing quite good reviews. But I would enjoy them much more without all the exposing images of anime girls. To me its completely unrelated from the topic. I mean go for it privately if you like them, I have no issue with you going for such things. But I'm not interested. I just am interested into the speaker reviews (which you do properly, like realy properly).
there is a channel for everyone of course, i do what i do 🤷♂️
Fair enough, then I whish you the best on your way. @@alanrossreviews
Those anime girls enhance the entertainment value, very well drawn.

sadly too many channels censor comments for whatever reason, i dont agree with it. Ive been muted on more channels than i can count 😁😁
@@alanrossreviews this is what, when my company starts, can i hire you as Engineer?
@@HAIYANE9910 ha! Im already overloaded 😭 happy to help where i can.
It's even more happy if i surfully acquired JBL from Harman, and say bebye to overpriced products and paid promotions or like bad marketing, change everything in sound quality😌
Does the MINIRIG have an AUX OUTPUT so that you can connect a portable speaker with an AUX input to IT?
yup
Спасибо. После того, как я продал JBL 110 и у меня осталась из большого портатива только SONY XG500, ей на улице требуется усиление. Думаю, MINIRIG 4, который скоро выйдет, будет неплохим помощником. Как думаете? @@alanrossreviews
