Wow the microphone feature took that speaker from zero to hero. Great compact little system with many uses.
Thank you for the shootout! I have been interested in "budget" wireless handhelds as I've started hosting some karaoke and also work with a local pro wrestling company. I am also trying to help the wrestling company find some speakers in their range. Impressed at what this Samson Explorer PA can offer and the price point and reliability of the Mackie Thump Go.
Looks like a good monitor for karaoke gigs, especially with the reverb.
Good review bro. Prices for both are great.
Thanks for the review. The Explor is a great unit, however I'm not convinced about the XPD2 Handheld - too much interference, presumably RF - 2.4ghz issues... So will be returning mic.
Best wishes 🤗
I've owned the Mackie and other versions of the Samson and is the clear winner. I really enjoyed the Samson when I owned it but I sold it and moved on to the Mackie Thump Go. The Samson is nice for when space is limited but the Mackie has more features. Now when you factor in price then you have to consider what your use is going to be for the speaker. I mainly used the Samson for portable turntable sessions. The mackie is used for ceremonies, cocktail hours and portable sessions. The Samson would never work for cocktails or ceremonies. I don't think the two speakers are in the same league other than the fact that they are battery powered.
This is a new version
I've had the Samson since 2020 and it has never let me down till recently where it lost its ability to hold a charge. Used it for ceremonies and covered 150 guests from front facing and went audio went out about 35 yards solid.
fyi, my Samson was the Express plus. This one definitely is even better. I use to use an amazon wireless mic and worked amazing. i'm wondering how the range is on this.
@DjLyRix Can you change the battery? I have a 12" battery powered speaker that stopped charging, I was able to order the battery on Amazon for $22.
Just order a new battery and you are good to go.
Can you still use it plugged?
I own a Samson Expedition Express since 10 Years or so and Just bought a Mackie Thump go now. Im a bit disappointed with the bass of the Mackie as Im used to the Bass of the Samson, it is really a Blast. But on higher Volumes the Mackie is clear and strong while the Samson easy overdrives.
But still I wish the Mackie would come with more Bass and Frequenzy below 65Hz
RE VIEW WAS DOPE - EXPO WAS DOPE - YOU ARE DOPE ...DJI MIC w/o feedback EXTRA DOPE! lol
Appreciate that 😂
This Mackie or jbl partybox 310?
The Line Out is a big factor. XLR is a must.... The Samsun sounds it has higher high levels... Mackie has more lower punchy sub...
I came here to say the complete opposite. The highs sounded tinny on the Samson but I was shocked how good the lows were. I still prefer the Mackie overall, but the bass on the Samson was shocking.
Sound quality the Mackie is superior. Clean highs and low mids. The Sampson is to midrangy
The Mackie thump go is $307 on Amazon right now. Insane value.
Where I don’t see that price?
Just bought 2 for 440 on ebay
@@supayute1 I ended up going for an ev everse man those are amazing
Mackie is really build like a tank. One of my speaker felt from a double mount pole
At least 8 ft from the ground and not even a scratch. Lucky enough it was outside in a courtyard but still...
Excellent product review/ shootout man. Is the wireless mic uhf and approximately how far away would you say the mic works from the speaker? Bang per buck which one would you recommend? Thank you. One love 👍🏾
The Mackie sounds more crisp and clean to me.
Great job buddy
Hi, do you recommend the Mackie for keyboard use ?
The wow and flutter on the Mackie is more pronounced Samson sounds crisper
with EDM song Samson bass sounds deeper but I heard a bit of distortion with the R&B track
Stopped at 7:20 and at least what I hear is that when the beat comes in it seems like the highs get muffled with the Samson and with the first song it seemed like it doesn’t have as good of a mid range as the Mackie. Though this could possibly be fixed with the EQ adjustments it has. Curious what you will say since you hear them in person.
Maybe you shouldn’t have stopped at 7:20🤷🏾♂️
Yah, Samson unit doesnt link up to a sister unit.... That wont work for me.
Can you do a sound comparison of the Samson and the EV everse 8?
Hi. Which models are these precisely, please? Samson has several expedition models
What about the JBL Eon One Compact?
I've been a Samson dealer for nearly six years and I still say Samsung at least half the time.
The built in reverb is really nice. Limited use case for DJs but for acoustic duos busking or doing backyard shows that is really handy.
Samson sounds a lil better but think ima go with makie
How is the Samson mic with dropouts??
$430 preorder at Sweetwater
What about the battery is it changeable and how many hours. battery life
brother, I got caught up in hard situation. I am living in Germany now and there is a perfect hookah lounge for me to play at. The only thing is the owner won't let djs use house speakers due to possible blow out. I am considering getting 3 thumps to fill the room. Would 2 thumps be sufficient for a 500 Sq ft room? If I need to get 3, would all three be able to link?
See ya next week!!! Let’s have lunch. I got questions for you
The new mackie thrash 212 go is gonna blow away every battery speaker out there.
We’ll see.
5:14 name of song please? Awesome review
Dajana - Big bad surprise
☝🏾
what happens when you are using two speakers (samson) and you connect the mic. Do you get mic on the one speaker only?
Quarter inch out to the other speaker.
How’s latency. I tried a small Bluetooth on my controller and couldn’t blend for shit 🤣
You don’t dj with Bluetooth. It’s just for playback
Have a safe travel.
I’d sell the Mackie and go with the EV 8’s!!
They are nice, but you can get 2 mackie Thump Go's for the price of the EV.
@@shaneberckman seeing you need 2 for the power of 1 EV. You get what you pay for! Go cheap and you will weap🤷🏾♂️
@bboymac84 No, I don't need 2 just saying you can get 2 for the price of 1. I have 2 of bose mackie ev JBL. I don't use these little speakers when I need power anyway. But that being said, the mackie Thump Go is a great speaker and does the job for half the price.
@@bboymac84 No way
I’m going for quality plus you can plug a mic 🎤 into it 💪🏽 and it’s louder🔊🔊
samsung should have spent their effects money on the audio quaity... the mackie sounds btter
Sorry there’s no way I’m doing all that in the box lol that’s a house party speaker not pro wedding speaker
I've got a pair of Mackie Thump Gos, and while I agree that they'll never replace your primary speaker array for events, they're an absolutely brilliant solution for wedding ceremonies, as satellite speakers in extra rooms or on patios, or for monitors. I've used them for outdoor parties too, and they kick butt.
Ceremony, cocktail speaker. I never said anything about being a main speaker.
cool if you are just playing music
What else do you want to do with it? :-)
@@ClevelandTerry not for djing because of latency
@@clarencemoore2924use leads then not a Bluetooth
Budget speakers.
Yes, that’s what the video is about. 😂
junk for $400
