JBL Pulse 2, probably launched around 2016. I received it as a gift from my sister in 2017. It's functioning just fine, and the audio quality is acceptable.
@@lukabosnjak3829 For this there is the EU application, from where you can set the sound equalizer. I own the EU BOOM 2 and I can get enough bass if I play with the settings in the app.
@@adriancc4240 No you can't. I don't get it how can anyone even like Ue speakers, Boom 2 doesn't have basically any response lower than 100hz, no matter the EQ it cannot sound right. Also highs are off with some peeks... Get the Earfun Uboom L if you want a good sounding speaker.
I still have my Sony SRS-XB43 for over 2 years now! It's on the heavy side at almost 3 kgs., but the sound quality and its light settings still amazes me.
I bought a pair of wonderboom 2. I can't overstate the difference in sound when you have 2 speakers as a stereo pair and place them apart. They sound great and 2 of them is almost the same price as 1 UE boom.
I'm absolutely loving my JBL Clip4 so far! Even tho I have the Flip4 I somehow tend to use the Clip4 more becuz just how compact it is. AND the sound quality and battery life are great too!
I still rock two Soundlink Mini 2 from BOSE and one UE BOOM2 for when I go outdoors. Is there any true successor to the legendary Soundlink Mini 2? This small Speaker sounds incredibly good and can easily be used to make party in any normal sized room.
I love my JBL Charge 5 and Aomais Amazon speaker. Waterproof,great sound in a relatively small package, long batter life and durable. They will be my go to for awhile.
I got a UE Megaboom 3 to use on my PWC and it gets REALLY loud. I can hear it clearly at 40 mph and I can still make out lyrics at 50. Anything faster and you can't hear it but its impressive either way. It doesn't have the best separation but for my use case ill sacrifice quality for volume. I just can't wait for when the new version comes out that. has USB C
I have an old truck with terrible speakers.. would one of these work and throw the sound round the cabin nicely? And if so where would you position it.. in the dash or stuck in middle of truck in head lining? 🤔
How can you guys recommend the UE Boom 3 and Sonos Roam ? These sounds terrible lol Where are Soundcore Motion Boom Plus, Tribit Stormbox Blast, Tribit Maxsound Plus, Mifa Wildbox, JBL Xtreme 3, Earfun UBoom L ?
Roam is not terrible (quite sweet treable) but Ue is some hardcore junk. Also Maxsound plus, wildbox and xtreme 3 are not on my list. Rather Vifa Helsinki or Oslo if you need some real refinment.
I used to have a JBL Clip 3 and while it's portable, the sound volume and quality left much to be desired. Recently took a chance on Clip 4 and whoa, what a difference. Noticeably larger than Clip 3. When wearing it, anything above 50% power is TOO LOUD. The bass is more than noticeable and the rest of EQ rivals many much larger competitors. If you want a wearable speaker for biking, hiking, etc. this one can't be beaten.
In my opinion Tribit blows away the competition for portable Bluetooth speakers. I have a pair of the Xsound Go that have 24 hour battery life, clear full range sound with amazing bass, small and light, waterproof, 3.5mm jack when using non-bluetooth sources...all this at a very low price.
I think its been over a year now but Marshall’s Killburn 2 & Emberton bluetooth speakers are irreplaceable for me. Ive owned at least 20+ BT speakers and these are GOATed
. My speaker lineup- charge 5, Soundcore 3,x sound go,x sound surf, 2 home pod minis paired, onn medium speaker, and lastly a mini jawbone from like 2009 that still works 😂😂 I use them all lol
just recently replaced my Bose Soundlink Gen-1, came out in 2011 i believe lol. Purchased a JBL charge 4, got it for $80 , love it and being able to connect it with my 3 other friends who also have a charge 4, so badass sounds so good lol
There are several affordable bluetooth speakers available in the online market, the tribit, tronsmart, mifa bluetooth speakers with quality sounds and less expensive. Best alternative if you have a tight budget.
I’d recommend the tribit stormbox micro as an alternative to the clip 4, i very recently got one for my brother. You get some great sound considering it’s only about $60 and it’s very compact. You can also pair two of them for stereo sound
The only speaker I would buy from this list is the Sony one. I got 2 BT speakers, Soundcore Flare+ and Flare S+. I got each one of them at $50 from an Amazon sale and they are stereo, great battery life (‘cause anker, you know) and the price is the best part.
I just lost my 2 year old flare + which I loved alot, while I was shifting houses. Can't find em anywhere. I need a new one now with more bass and sound quality. Which one do you recommend from this list? Also, what are ur thoughts on flare 2 and rave party 2?

Are there any gadgets I guess or Electronics setup so that you can drive like say some of your own speakers that you have at home that you're not using that would be really very useable even if you have to plug it in?I'd love to see something like that! I appreciate you putting these videos out, this Bluetooth one is real great thanks. Dave FLA B T W, I'm Subbed
I'm still using the JBL Clip 3 because there's no major changes with the clip 4. That's worth upgrading and spending money on. Some of the best home speakers I've ever had was the Visio sound bar. That came with this huge subwoofer. I remember only paying like over $100 for it. But I think it was probably off Ebay so that's why. It had the whole house literally sounding and feeling like a concert.
Sounds like the Bose’s bass is a bit underpowered if you want to listen to more bass-heavy tracks. Based on the comparison, I’d say the UE BOOM 3 is the best sound for its size. I’m still happy with my original Megaboom, though I’d like to upgrade someday. I wish more current day speakers would give you the option for aux in.
@@MangroveLord its not, but you’d best believe if I’m listening to a song that needs a decent amount of bass to sound its best at higher volumes, I don’t want some underpowered speaker trying and failing to do the job.
I wouldn’t say the Uboom L is similar to the JBL Charge. JBL has much higher treble. Quite a different sound profile. I briefly owned a Uboom L and found the sound too dark.
Bateribox is a new sound company that most reviewers are totally overlooking these days. Hope the Bateribox sound signature gets the attention it deserves.
by the way if u are going to include the price for one do it for all. I disagree that $150 for a speaker isn't a lot but I guess u have that sweet verge $ so that explains it
How old is the bluetooth speaker you have?
Bose Soundlink 3. Decade old or so.
I’m still rocking my 8 year old Jawbone MINIJAMBOX speaker!
A Soundboks GO. Definitely the best speaker around for parties, Festivals ect.. and easy to carry with the strap
Sony SRS XB30 5years, and still going like a champ !
JBL Pulse 2, probably launched around 2016. I received it as a gift from my sister in 2017. It's functioning just fine, and the audio quality is acceptable.
I'm surprised that you didn't mention that the UE Boom still uses Micro-USB b instead of Type-C port for charging. That's a MAJOR dealbreaker for me.
That's so sad...
Sound quality and battery life are more important at a portable bluetooth speaker.
@@adriancc4240 Exactly, Ue Boom sounds like some clock radio with no real bass or any quality...
@@lukabosnjak3829 For this there is the EU application, from where you can set the sound equalizer. I own the EU BOOM 2 and I can get enough bass if I play with the settings in the app.

would you think it’s better than the bose sound link? i’m trying to decide between those two speakers
@@aubreylehto8849 I am too confused between those two
I bought a pair of wonderboom 2. I can't overstate the difference in sound when you have 2 speakers as a stereo pair and place them apart. They sound great and 2 of them is almost the same price as 1 UE boom.
True. I have just one but I love it.
I love my Wonderbooom
Yup, I honestly just pair them up and hang them up with a carabineer around the back yard, makes for great outdoor speakers.
The Bose Soundlink Flex and Marshall Emberton 2 are the best small Bluetooth speakers.
I own 2 SRS-XB43 and still amazed by it. 🎉
I'm absolutely loving my JBL Clip4 so far! Even tho I have the Flip4 I somehow tend to use the Clip4 more becuz just how compact it is. AND the sound quality and battery life are great too!
i also own one and to me its portability that made me lean towards it. sound quality wise, it's enough for my likes
Tribit Stormbox micro blows the clip 4 away. Clip4 sounds like a toy when compared.
Do you clip on your jeans while biking around town?
@@stargazerxd13 is it better in general like sound quality and other stuff? Like is the price diff worth it ?
I still rock two Soundlink Mini 2 from BOSE and one UE BOOM2 for when I go outdoors. Is there any true successor to the legendary Soundlink Mini 2? This small Speaker sounds incredibly good and can easily be used to make party in any normal sized room.
Soundlink Mini 2 Special Edition is now available form Bose store.
I love my JBL Charge 5 and Aomais Amazon speaker. Waterproof,great sound in a relatively small package, long batter life and durable. They will be my go to for awhile.
Just the video I was looking for this summer.
lmao
Anker soundcore 3🔥💪🏾
I've had my MiniRig over a decade - incredible speaker
Recently got 2 bose flexs on special at half price so a stereo pair for the price of one, sounds awesome and great for by the pool.
Bose soundlink flex is great. I bought 2 for stereo mode and have no regrets.
I got a UE Megaboom 3 to use on my PWC and it gets REALLY loud. I can hear it clearly at 40 mph and I can still make out lyrics at 50. Anything faster and you can't hear it but its impressive either way. It doesn't have the best separation but for my use case ill sacrifice quality for volume.

PricewaterhouseCoopers?
PWC = Personal Watercraft? Or PricewaterhouseCooper?
I bought the Sonos Move and it’s my favorite speaker in the house, of many.
I have an old truck with terrible speakers.. would one of these work and throw the sound round the cabin nicely? And if so where would you position it.. in the dash or stuck in middle of truck in head lining? 🤔

Bose is king. For some reason people always sleep on them. Ever since I used their earbuds I knew I would never go back to anything else
Nah How? Anker/Soundcore and JBL is better.
Love my JBL Clip 3 and Wonderboom. The JBL Charge w HomeKit rarely gets used.
Soundcore motion plus?
Regarding this market being stagnant, since I got an Amazon echo, I never felt the need to purchase a new Bluetooth speaker
I used to have a JBL Clip 3 and while it's portable, the sound volume and quality left much to be desired. Recently took a chance on Clip 4 and whoa, what a difference. Noticeably larger than Clip 3. When wearing it, anything above 50% power is TOO LOUD. The bass is more than noticeable and the rest of EQ rivals many much larger competitors.

What's the battery life like?
@@Dante-vf4sd excellent! Last for hours.
@@allenshaw2022 What about the battery and everything we lae for longevity of life before it expires?
The Tribit Stormbox Blast NEEDS to be on this list.
Honestly.. and even Soundcore Motion Boom
This list is a Bateri list. (Bateri = not the most complete but quite comprehensive and juicy)
In my opinion Tribit blows away the competition for portable Bluetooth speakers. I have a pair of the Xsound Go that have 24 hour battery life, clear full range sound with amazing bass, small and light, waterproof, 3.5mm jack when using non-bluetooth sources...all this at a very low price.
Soundcore Rave Neo. You can buy 2 of them and pair them for the same price as some of these.
I think its been over a year now but Marshall’s Killburn 2 & Emberton bluetooth speakers are irreplaceable for me. Ive owned at least 20+ BT speakers and these are GOATed
I am going to take your advice and purchase the Emberton. Can it be paired to another Emberton to produce stereo sound?
I have no Kilburn 2 but I do have 2 Kilburn ones. Love them!
@@milhouse14 emberton II have stack mode, so yeah, they pair. They also stack with the Willen.
@@milhouse14 how's the emberton? im kind of stuck between the bose soundlink flex and the emberton.
@@TewPaqs Sorry but i haven't purchased one yet. ☺
. My speaker lineup- charge 5, Soundcore 3,x sound go,x sound surf, 2 home pod minis paired, onn medium speaker, and lastly a mini jawbone from like 2009 that still works 😂😂 I use them all lol
Bose Soundlink Flex is the vibe!
Would have been nice to see actual graphed measurements from each speaker
They recommend the UE Boom 3 and Sonos Roam, do you expect anything serious from this video ?
@@ThibautMahringer they have a measurement system, so yes
@@FabFeline Well if they have one they should not recommend these lol
@@ThibautMahringer what battery powered portable Bluetooth speakers would u recommend instead?
@@FabFeline Small sized ? Tribit Maxsound Plus, Soundcore Boost.
Medium sized ? JBL Charge 5, Earfun UBoom L.
Large sized ? JBL Xtreme 3, Mifa Wildbox, Onyx Studio 5/6/7.
Boombox sized ? Tribit Stormbox Blast, Soundcore Motion Boom Plus.
Partybox ? 110, 300, Encore.

tribit is so underrated. needs to be on this list as well.
Crazy the Stormbox Blast isn't there but the UE Boom 3 and Sonos Roam are lol
There are several affordable bluetooth speakers available in the online market, the tribit, tronsmart, mifa bluetooth speakers with quality sounds and less expensive. Best alternative if you have a tight budget.
how does it compare to the regular Bose Soundlink?
I would get the boom 3 if only they upgrade the usb port
Marshall Stockwell II and Marshall Emberton are also some great picks
I’d recommend the tribit stormbox micro as an alternative to the clip 4, i very recently got one for my brother. You get some great sound considering it’s only about $60 and it’s very compact. You can also pair two of them for stereo sound
Can someone tell me the loudest one? I’m assuming it’s the one for back door but I have the UE boom already. Is it worth?

How did you missed Tribit!
Should I get the boombox 3 or the partybox 310 ?
310 much bigger sound. Boombox 3 much easier to carry.
What portable speaker can produce better sound quality than Flex?
I was expecting for Sony SRS-XB13 (I’m currently using it).
I'm hoping this series has been revived
UE Boom 3 charges with micro usb. In no way should you be recommending that to buyers in 2022
And it sounds bad
No Marshall is in List..?
Recommending a Micro-USB based Boom 3 in 2022 ? That is quite sketchy to say the least
That's how you know the video was lazily researched

best bluetooth speaker for calling?

B T W, I'm Subbed
The one from SONY stands out
My HK Onyx Studio 6 sounds absolutely amazing! Sad that it is not in here because it is not "popular"
Got that flip 4 works pretty good using it in a dish room but battery doesn't last all day but yeah definitely a good buy
do u clip on your jeans while biking around town?
what about anker?
So crazy, all these speakers sound exactly like my phone speaker . . . 🤔
Like the sound comparison part 7:00
where the Tribit at
Still love my JBL Flip 3, but where's Tribit Stormbox/Pro?
I have the sony srs xb 23

Hey where is becca, why she still does not review Galaxy buds 2 Pro, i am still waiting
Idk but the JBL was the clearest and sounds full and the Bose sounds rumbly with no highs
Ordered Bose Flex!!

The flip 5 Are charge 5 are very nice speakers in deed i have 2 flip 5 two flip 6 and 1 charge 5 getting other charge 5 soon
I love my Bose soundlink flex 😊
How does this list not include the IKEA ENEBY?
Disagree about the JBL flip for hikes. The best speaker for hikes are a pair of headphones. Don't be that person with a BT speaker.
where is wonderboom man?
Where is Harmon Kardon studio 6?
I’m still using my old beats pill+ from 2015😂. I might get the bose when the pill dies.
My JBL Charge 2 from 2015 just died on me, so this was great watch!
Pulse 4 is the clearest speaker ever
Earfun UBoom L similar to the JBL charge just came out and it's awesome!!!
I wouldn’t say the Uboom L is similar to the JBL Charge. JBL has much higher treble. Quite a different sound profile. I briefly owned a Uboom L and found the sound too dark.
I want to upgrade my pUE boom gen 1 so I can get waterproofing but WHY THE HELL ARE THEY STILL USING MICROUSB TO CHARGE!!!
It came out years ago and hasn't been updated that's why
SOUNDCORE MOTION+ is the best budget speaker
I was so surprised to not find that in the list!
Does anyone know what the test track is? Nilay would've gone with Sticky Blood feat. Terri Walker - Buffalo
My B&O Beolit 17 still good as new.
Soundlink flex all the way
Good one Verge !
I love my skullcandy barricade mini. Lol am I the only one who has one?
Tribit?
Watching this video on my new Sony SRS-XB43
Which sounds worse than xb33...
Soundcore also has amazing portable speakers

Where is the Marshall?
Only verge knows what it's user needs loved it keep in this way guys love from Pakistan 😍🇵🇰
SoundCore Motion+ is the best sounding speaker for the price and size
Earfun UboomL is more refined while being cheaper.
Shouldve included sound comparisons
I like the Sono
My SoundCore motion plus blows away my Bose SoundLink by far
Motion+ can't be beaten for the price and size.
