#SoundBattle #SoundlinkFlex #Flip5
I'm always impressed by how good the Bose soundlink flex sounds they did a great job with this one everything is balanced not too harsh to the ears I own them and in person they sound incredible for their size
Wow, the Flex has really impressive deep and powerful bass for a speaker with such a small body! A soundbattle with the great and much cheaper Anker Soundcore Boost upgraded edition would be very interesting...
I would want to hear it against the minirig mini 3, also Quite a powerful speaker for it's size, but also Quite expensive since it doesn't get manufactured in masses, and partly by hands.
makes no sense to compare speakers with double weight and size. you can't break the laws of physics. the more enclosure volume the more sound volume. simple but true.
@@AMIGA79 The Soundcore BOOST plays in the same class like the Flex. Both speakers have approximately similar size and weight. I don't mean the Soundcore BOOM. I think you have mistook it ;-)
@@TommyM3 you're absolutely right. SRY :D
@@AMIGA79 No problem :-)
Just heard the Bose at target and it blew me away! Sounds better than my Bose 360 smart speaker that is 399
I've been using the flip 5 at work for over a year and it is an excellent speaker. Everything about it is perfect. It gets loud enough to where I have to turn it down at times and I work in a wide open space. To me it has perfect tonal balance. The bass is perfect and vocals are clear. You can hear ever instrument and if you just listen to it and shut everything else out it is mesmerizing. Even my co workers are amazed by it. The flip 6 isn't worth buying to me because nothing was done to improve the sound which in my opinion impossible because the sound is perfect. I also have the Bose portable home speaker and it just sits gathering dust. I will use it if my flip 5 goes down. I don't care what speaker comes on the market I don't think that it can best the flip 5 at its price point and size.
Im gonna have to disagree i have a flip 5 of my own amd it is a great speaker however it only has one driver which means it doesn't offer stereo the flip is a mono speaker so is the flip 6 but it includes a tweeter which helps separate the highs from the mids and lows which overall creates a better listening experience
If I tire of my flip 5 I can always fire up my Bose portable speaker.
@@kingkobra1956 for sure its always nice to move on to another speaker with a different sound signature for a bit its quite refreshing
JBL flip 5 still the best product from jbl
I have the flip 5 and im thinking of getting the bose soundlink 2
i have the bose flex. at volumes under 70% its the best for its size imo. I agree at max its not the best but max is stupid loud as it is. 70% on the bose flex is more like 100% on other speakers in its size/weight class. so I dont really find this to be a big negative
it's no surprise that Bose is known for Best Sound Quality out of most of their products and the Flex is no different.
I haven't heard anything better in this size. An interesting fact is that one Bose transducer is equipped with two coils, one for high tones and one for medium and low tones :D As a result, with passive diaphragms it will go down to 55hz, I checked.
Best portable speaker . Additionally, you can fit it in your pocket. Only 600g! In stereo mode they can fight with xtreme 3. I highly recommend that I record them soon when they play at my place...
Probably they named that speaker "Flex" because you can let the driver play frontal forward or also upwards so that you can reach a kind of 360 degree sound... 🤔😉
It sounds so good when it's laying on its back, kinda like the Bose micro but on audio steroids lol
My Opinion
The Flip 5 : High Bass. Clear (The Treble Too Loud)
The SL Flex : Low Bass, Clear Same As Flip 5 But Not Too Harsh / Loud
Bose Flex wins I guess it has deeper bass and it sounds pretty awesome!!!
A comparison between the Bose Soundlink FLEX and the Bose Soundlink mini 2 !!!!!!!
would be extremely interesting
Agreed
You said you did not notice the sound change when you moved the Flex to a different orientation. You called BS. That is exactly what is supposed to (not) happen, the speaker makes adjustments based on the placement to maintain the same sound. The "PositionIQ" feature BOSE is touting really works.
Seems to me that the Bose has a better capacity for Base ranges-- thus.. if your device (phone) has access to a custom equalizer setting as part of the phone then the Bose will produce the better overall result. I find that add on apps equalizers can loose some sound character and therefore are not good) In my market (Toronto Canada) the Bose is 50% more expensive than the Flip... both on sale...... so .. that could be a deciding factor for some buyers. Overall, I think the Bose will be the most satisfying experience if cost is not a consideration.
Honestly Boss wins here, JBL sounds harshly in comparison, though a mono speaker is not a option for me
I prefer the BOSE SoundLink Flex. It sounds warmer and somehow more pleasant.
I liked the JBL Flip sound BUT just broke mine after just 45 days of use. So yeah Im getting the Flex instead
i have the Flip 5 and i love it but im just gonna go ahead and admit the Soundflex sounds wayyyy better. It’s richer and crispier. It’s like the Bose sound smacks you right in the face whereas the JBL sounds like there’s something in front of it blocking the sound. It sounds like it’s way in the back if you get what in saying
I'm not endorsing, but. Is it really necessary to buy this kind of bts when motion plus and boom is on market and cheaper. don't need to mention but sound quality wise you can't go wrong with the motion and boom for their price.
It’s a Soundlink mini in a different form factor. I’m definitely gonna hold out for the flip 6.
Mono speakers suck. Basically it's a personal sound speaker, not a party speaker. Thanks for the review 👏
Yeah... but you buy two and pair them up in stereo, separate them as much as you want for stereo effect, and they are crazy good. $300 for two, but worth it.
I own a Flip 5 and I truly love it 👌🏽🔥❤ it sounds clean 🗣
bose really did some kick butt product this time. the only thing right now is to wait for the flip 6 to see if this changes the result. this flex speaker is not dissappointing in any way.. (well only the bluetooth 4.2)
Honestly im not to surprised Bose lost against JBL in sound quality and the Flip 6 have a twetter now which means it's pretty much game over unless I get asked a good amount I might just skip reviewing the flex😕
If you able to, you should look into it man. It has an amazing amount of bass for it's size though
Lol I need content anyways so will do👍.And I'm about ready to start back making videos in a couple weeks 😁
Never thought I'd see the day of mono speakers being marketed in this age.
That's why I guard my Denon Envaya 250 so carefully. In relation to its size, the stereo stage (although artificially pushed by DSP) is huge.
@@AMIGA79 I'll never let go of my Krell 50 and PSB Silver's.
@@AMIGA79 I'm with you on that. Playing my Denon 250 in the background while doing RUclips.
True, but as an owner of two Flip 5s (one for me, one for the wife), I can say that the sound quality is good enough to make the fact that it's mono a moot point.
@@darylharvey2865 your just wrong.
Flip 5 is very good in price and sound but... the sound so thin compare to this Bose in term of overall sound and particularly the bass.
I think you nailed it. I was thinking the bose definitely had the better sound at 60% volume. But the jbl was definitely more capable at 100%.
en un volumen bajo me gusto mas el bose, a todo volumen fue mas limpio el sonido de JBL.
Entonces cual es mejor ?
this video dosen't do the bass justice for the bose flex. at 60% volume the bass is the best iv ever hear out of a speaker this small. its way more then even a b@O A1 gen2 and its lighter. not a huge fan of mono but to me its not that bad. i compared it to the bass of the charge 5 and while the charge 5 does have stronger deeper bass, the bose flex did not sound toyish next to it. most of the speakers i compare to the charge 5 in its size range sound like toys in comparison. the bose weights 1.3 pounds and the charge 5 weights 2.1 pounds. at almost half the weight i am impressed at how much it hangs with the charge 5. of course at max volume the bose dosen't stand a chance. i know a lot dont like the mono sound and singe driver set up but its really the only way to have speakers as compact as possible but still have good sound if the single driver is high quality. the more drivers and tweeters you have weight and size go up. there are still tons of premium brands that sell mono speakers. B&O A1, P2 for example. they cost far more and imo dont sound as good. I personaly think the bose flex is priced well. it should eventually go on sale for something like 120-130 ifi had to guess from time to time after its been out a while
Hi Alex, what the best speakers you tested per size category? Thanks.
Been a while since I've viewed this channel, how ya doing?
Bose is good for musical instrument sound and bass otherside JBL is good for vocal.
I've listened to both these devices and they both sound awesome. there's no wrong decision here!!!
Which has stronger and deeper bass?
@@cratos900 the JBL has a little better Bass but both sound amazing
@@ANTHONY-rp3ud Thank you)) Bass is the most important aspect for me and yes i like Bose's crisp sound but their design always lacking for me too))
In my opinion
Bose is the winner here but...!
If the f5 is firing face toward the listener maybe the f5 sounds better too 😁
The flip sounds better than the Bose at max less raspy in the highs and bass doesn’t just fall apart like the Bose
Excellent review. I like to crank it up and listen to it from afar.
Anyway congratulations! your channel is really great and your videos are very qualitative and worked!
Keep it up!
@DLX Willington Thank you! This is the best review I have come across on these two speakers. Listening to your review via headphones helped. Though still feel like I want to hear these two in person for myself. What do you think drives the Flip 5 to be better at higher volumes? Do you think it is the BT 5.0, also any thoughts on the sound quality for the JBL Charge 4 which uses BT 4.2? I am a Bose guy (I own the QC15's) and shopping around for a portable wireless speaker for my first TT.
yeah i needed more sound battle
First time viewer. Line your video. Where is your Sonos Roam audio comparison?
But wellington, the question is, when will you review the anker soundcore motion plus/boom? Those kill the jbl charge/xtreme line series 😁
ya i have the motion plus, moton boom and jbl charge 5. IMO the jbl charge 5 is the clear winner. it has the cleanest bass by far, goes deeper then both the soundcores and goes louder. my motion boom and plus distort at max volume moderately. the chage 5 never does. you really cant up the bass much with the eq app for the soundcores as they just enhance the distotion and brings it down to lower volume levels,
@@alexlittig7927 you probably have faulty or fake units, as even oluvs gadgets, who destroys all crap, found them outstanding. The charge 5 reaches barely 60 while the boom reaches 40. So strange!
@@Julian-Willemsen my charge 5 hits 40 and so does the motion boom but the charge 5 sounds cleaner to me. Trust me iv compared them many times with probably 4 or 5 hours total switching back and forth and different levels. And I don't have fake units. I got them legitimately on Amazon. They are also no defective as there really isn't anything wrong with them. The charge 5 just sounds cleaner and has better bass. Also I'm not being bias, it's just what I'm hearing.
@@alexlittig7927 could be that they are real, but not properly working, as the boom beats the Xtreme 3 even. And no, the charge 5 does not reach 40hz. The boombox 2 barely reaches that. Also the measurements show it doesn't even reach 50hz. Not sure what you are hearing...
@@Julian-Willemsen I have a special frequency swap I use on my speakers then I can trace the frequency on a graph. Is it as good as oluvs no but it gives me an idea. Also Id find it hard to believe that both my motion plus and boom are defective. Also I talk to oluv every so often through email and he's been having some issues with his motion boom. There some strange volume modulation at medium volumes. He's not as sold on it as he first was. At the end of the day none of the stats mater. It's the one you like most. For me it's the charge 5. Now if I'm listening at very low levels then the motion boom is my choice like 30- 40% because I can add all the bass I want and it still doesn't distort at that level and it sounds strong and full of depth. Jbl doesn't have the best bass adjustment for lower volumes. Jbl is best at, 60-70%
The Bose completely destroyed the Flip 5. Max volume distortion happens with all speakers in this size. It all depends on the music source and EQ setting in my experience. I simply love the Micro and Flex is just a bigger version.
The Bose Soundlink Flex has more bass. I'm a bass head and looking for a bluetooth speaker with more bass and I have been looking online for comparison. Every time I Googled on 5 best bass speakers and it always came up with speakers other than Bose. What do you think about Beats Pill compared to JBL and Bose?
Beats absolutely sucks for the price, or so I’ve heard. Basically a scam. Same with UE.
I love your reviews man. You should play some jazz also in your reviews
party lover still love flip5
I never had soundlink mini, but i do have SL3 and its amazing, my wife got me a flex for xmas and i loved it. I always
brings it to work, the warehouse just filled with superb sound. I do agree about 70% is the best suitable level, so balance and so perfect.
No surprise here with Bose. Too much compression of audio at higher volumes(as always). I'm not disappointed as my expectations for Bose are not that high anyways. Older JBL does much better as you crank ot up. Let's wait for the flip 6. It will be even more balanced according to early reviews.
Flex doesn’t push audio very well beyond bass….Flip 5 more open sounding.
Exactly
Hey DLX! I'm your big fan! I want to request you that, can you kindly show us the all-new JBL Flip 6? Specially I want to see that speaker... 👍
The JBL Flip 5 has overall better balance. I'm still stuck on the bluetooth 4.2 for a new speaker. The separation of the quality of sound will most likely be even larger between the Bose Flex and the Flip 6.
4.2 is supposedly a typo. It’s actually 5.1
@@waynedexterthe bose soundlink flex uses Bluetooth 4.2. They decided to stick with an older Bluetooth, bose claims they didn’t seem any reason to upgrade the Bluetooth because there is no difference in the sound quality.
I like high volume and flip wins Bose sound better under 70 % he is right about that but both are really good 👍🏼👍🏼
IT’S LONG BUT PLEASE TAKE THE TIME TO READ THIS.
Just a thought on the JBL Flip 6 vs the Bose SoundLink Flex. They are the same size and according to the internet the bose has a larger transducer than the JBL but the JBL has a tweeter and an adjustable equalizer within the app where as at this time on the bose connect app there is not an equalizer to adjust the sound. But I have another bose speaker and it uses a different music app and it runs on the bose msuic app and in the bose music app it has an equalizer so you can adjust the bass and the treble to your liking. And in the JBL portable app you can do the same thing except you can also adjust the mid-range. Bose could add an EQ to there app in the future/near future. Bc I read on the internet that when the JBL flip 6 was released it did not have an adjustable eq within its app for its speakers. But now it has an eq in the app. I think with the equalizer off on the JBL the bose sounds better but with the eq on I think the JBL sounds better. So if bose added an equalizer that could change things. I know the speaker has position IQ technology where it’s supposed to adjust the sound depending on which way you lay it but it would be nice to be able to turn that off if you wanted to. A similar portable speaker called the sonos roam has a similar feature but in the sonos s2 app you can turn that feature off. In the bose app you cannot do that or on the speaker itself either. And also Sonos has an adjustable EQ within the app like the JBL. The bose is behind the times with that but I bet they’ll change for the better. I would turn position IQ off and have an equalizer set to my liking if I could. I prefer my bose soundlink flex to sit upright so it’s pointing at me but they say it will produce more bass if you lay it flat, in my testing this is true. A little more bass for sure. Which I like. But I shouldn’t have to lay it flat to get maximum bass output. And the speaker needs better rubber feet on it because sometimes it will move it self. Or vibrate itself off the table. So I would recommend not placing it near the edge of a table if you don’t have to. Thank you for whoever actually takes the time to read this.
I agree with you about which is better at max volume
I would like to se battle between sony xb 43&33 against jbl extreme 3& charge 5
Greetings from Croatia
I have to say, I think Bose wins for once
Bose Soundlink Flex vs Soundcore Motion+?
Why you are not comparing Soundcore motion+ and JBL..Are you promoting JBL only????
Hey!! Thanks man
Bose is more refined
Bose wins on sound quality and heritage alone - it's on another (higher) level than JBL. Who runs a bluetooth speaker at 100% volume anyway? No-one. Discrete and understated design of the Bose just oozes quality. The Carmine Red version I have is pure class. Oh, did I mention the sound quality? Soundlink Flex is smooth and controlled. Flip 5 sounds "box-ey". Bose wins.
thanks for the review, I found out that sound get distorted in the flip 5 while charging and listening, is this normal?
Jbl is more clear and the Bose hase a bit more Bass
👏🏻👏🏻 soundlink flex vs Soundlink mini, or flex vs Marshall Emberton🔥🔥
Your best reward bro
Yeah, I'll never trust user reviews ever again. I bought the flip 5 based on glowing reviews and it sounds absolutely terrible. Im using a Samsung S23ultra so the source is of the audio is excellent. People who think base is what makes a speaker sound good have no idea what they're talking about. I have high-end audio in my home theater and vehicle as well as high end ear buds. The JBL flip 5 sounds like trash in my opinion. JBL was definitely targeting an audience that doesnt know what good sound actually sounds like. The speakers has lots of bass and thats literally all it has. The volume doesnt even go all the way up. Its stops at about 65% and then just sounds muddy, distorted struglling after that. It sounds horrible. Im returning it and getting the Bose.
Definitely bose wins here, clean sound 👍
Charge 5 Vs Bose Soundlink Flex
Of course charge 5 is the winner 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Have you tried the Marshall Emberton?
jbl flip 5 awesome 🔥❤️
Notification squad
👍
@@DLXWillington the poo OO OO
id like to listen comparison part like { reference(original source music) / speaker1 / speaker2 } so that which one is more natural. thanks as always.
Can you review the LG speaker that is on your right side 🤔
Hang on in there buddy 😂
@@DLXWillington be waiting for it. And like always great video sir.
Sick 🔥🔥
The flip 5 is a better speaker Bose is way overpriced I have a JBL Flip 5 and it serves me well and I've had for three years
I think at maximum volume bose has lot compression
Playing some songs feels like the two speakers have been swapped.
love it. yeah.
If you wear headphones theirs a really noticeable difference maybe you can hear without them but I can't I got the bose q35 II
Have you receive jbl flip 6 yet?
Bose sounds much richer and pleasing to ear than JBL.
Never thought that the bose is better than the jbl
Please compare flip 6 vs bose soundlink flex
that damn intermodulation!
Review W-King T8 and T8 please friend. 💪🏽👍🏽
I hear more detail in the JBL. The bass is harder from the Bose, but also more muddy and I miss detail in the higher end as well. Also the JBL is more flexible in terms of shape and build. Also pity that it's just bluetooth 4.2. Means it loses out in terms of range and lag.
Too much high on flip because of tweeter and it makes lauder because of that.. I prefer bose good bass good treble and sound clear..
No one is better than Bose
Hey man just wanna know can you do A video about airports 3 please
Same crap as always
The Bose sound good but I like my music loud, so I guess I will wait for the flip 6 to drop.
Yay Firstt😂🤣🤣
✌️
@@DLXWillington is the bose that bad in max volume or was that the mic

And also the bose has a lot of upper bass,
@@Terrymateo the bose has deeper bass than the flip 5.
Typical Bose adherence to the juiciest tone, and JBL for the shrilliest tone. What do people expect? The best of all worlds? Not in a plastic press-mold plastic box. Looking forward for the masses to have a box which is accurate, stages well, and produces nice accuracy at all frequencies. The golden nugget evades us yet again. Is it impossible? No. Is it profitable? YaaaaaYYYAYAAAAY!
Neither one is worth $149 or $150. Maybe $79 but not more !
Bose soundlink FLEX clearly wins..
Bose 🎉
Bose sounds nice to me becaouse i like bass
Jbl better sound through research. Not all bose speakers are good and quality sound. It depends on the model
Look at the Vifa Helsinki... Same size as the Bose and just demonstrates what was possible even 5 years ago because it is louder and much higher quality than even the jbl xtreme 3. These companies don't even seem to care anymore. 😪
the helsinki is full of problems. the major being the design flaw of the bass radiators. after 65% volume the bass radiator flutter is really bad. i had to return mine fora new one and it was even worse. the only good ones where the earier batches like the one oluv has. also the app tp access the differant eq modes doesn't work anymore. hard pass overall
@@alexlittig7927 Apk works great on android but yes, there were a lot of faulty units but there has never been a speaker that can come even close to sound quality in similar size with the perfect unit...
@@lukabosnjak3829 i agree just wish they where not so expensive
@@alexlittig7927 Yea, they are premium tho only leather belt cost them 20€, jbl pays maby 5€ for strap...
@@lukabosnjak3829 also vifa helsinki is more then double the weight and size of the bose. the bose is not very big at all. its going to be such an amazing travel speaker. I might get another one and use the tws option then ill get sterio sound. that should counter some of the draw backs of distortion at high volumes. wont have to turn it as loud since two will be playing.
I have tested both and I think the Bose wins on clear sound.
