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.
@@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.
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.
I own 2 SRS-XB43 and still amazed by it. 🎉
Bose soundlink flex is great. I bought 2 for stereo mode and have no regrets.
I've had my MiniRig over a decade - incredible speaker
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.
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
Love my JBL Clip 3 and Wonderboom. The JBL Charge w HomeKit rarely gets used.
I bought the Sonos Move and it’s my favorite speaker in the house, of many.
I still have a JBL flip 4 and charge 3 and they sound amazing but I just bought an soundcore pro hope it's good
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 ?
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?
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
PricewaterhouseCoopers?
PWC = Personal Watercraft? Or PricewaterhouseCooper?
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? 🤔
Just the video I was looking for this summer.
lmao
Anker soundcore 3🔥💪🏾
The Bose Soundlink Flex and Marshall Emberton 2 are the best small Bluetooth speakers.
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
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.
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.
how does it compare to the regular Bose Soundlink?
Regarding this market being stagnant, since I got an Amazon echo, I never felt the need to purchase a new Bluetooth speaker
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
Does anyone know what the test track is? Nilay would've gone with Sticky Blood feat. Terri Walker - Buffalo
Marshall Stockwell II and Marshall Emberton are also some great picks
My HK Onyx Studio 6 sounds absolutely amazing! Sad that it is not in here because it is not "popular"
Soundcore Rave Neo. You can buy 2 of them and pair them for the same price as some of these.
I was expecting for Sony SRS-XB13 (I’m currently using it).
Good one Verge !
The Tribit Stormbox is my favorite, maybe it needs to be on this list for mid 2022
Bose Soundlink Flex is the vibe!
I'm hoping this series has been revived
. 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
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?
Soundcore motion plus?
Still love my JBL Flip 3, but where's Tribit Stormbox/Pro?
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?
i have braven book speaker loved it 5 bears old baby but still rocks as docks 🥺
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.
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?
I would get the boom 3 if only they upgrade the usb port
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.
You could include the UE Wonderboom 2 too !
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.
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.
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.
I love my Bose soundlink flex 😊
How does this list not include the IKEA ENEBY?
My B&O Beolit 17 still good as new.
How did you missed Tribit!
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. ☺
I’m still using my old beats pill+ from 2015😂. I might get the bose when the pill dies.
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.
No Marshall is in List..?
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)
Ordered Bose Flex!!
Where is Harmon Kardon studio 6?
My JBL Charge 2 from 2015 just died on me, so this was great watch!
So crazy, all these speakers sound exactly like my phone speaker . . . 🤔
what about anker?
where the Tribit at
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 skullcandy barricade mini. Lol am I the only one who has one?
Should I get the boombox 3 or the partybox 310 ?
310 much bigger sound. Boombox 3 much easier to carry.
Thank you.
I have the sony srs xb 23
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
best bluetooth speaker for calling?
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.
What portable speaker can produce better sound quality than Flex?
Like the sound comparison part 7:00
Chris could not be seen in this video because of the five new Sonos scoops hiding on his desk atm
Tribit?
I like the Sono
The one from SONY stands out
I am in the market for a new one...how convenient
where is wonderboom man?
Hey where is becca, why she still does not review Galaxy buds 2 Pro, i am still waiting
Watching this video on my new Sony SRS-XB43
Which sounds worse than xb33...
Where is the Marshall?
Only verge knows what it's user needs loved it keep in this way guys love from Pakistan 😍🇵🇰
UE Boom 3 charges with micro usb. In no way should you be recommending that to buyers in 2022
And it sounds bad
Should put in the list the new JBL Flip 6 though
Charges 5 way way better than flip
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
Pulse 4 is the clearest speaker ever
Shouldve included sound comparisons
Soundcore motion+ gang assemble.
Sony srs xb series are the very best ...
No one can beat them
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
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.
Soundcore also has amazing portable speakers
Idk but the JBL was the clearest and sounds full and the Bose sounds rumbly with no highs
Bateribox is a new sound company that most reviewers are totally overlooking these days. Hope the Bateribox sound signature gets the attention it deserves.
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.
i really feel like the sound test doesn't really come through that well you cant tell how loud they are and it all depends on what youre listening on
UE Boom 3 is terrible
Music isn't just about bass
@@SLokutaR 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.
UE speakers are overhyped junk
MINIRIG should 100% be there
Financial peace isn't the acquisition of stuff. It's learning to live on less than you make, so you can give money back and have money to invest. You can't win until you do this. --Dave Ramsey
I need one just to get back at my stupid loud neighbor
No soundcore? cmon
Tribit should have been mentioned
