I got 2 Flip 5s because of you, after this now I'm thinking of selling them and getting a Charge 5 lol. Still dubious tho, the stereo separation of the pair of Flips 5 (for example in the transition from Charge to the Flips at 25:24) still sounds best imo, but then again, dat charge bass 😂

right its a straight battle between nice separation or a bit more bass extension. However for travelling the flip 5 is a great form factor. better than charge 5.

Hey Alan ,I've just compared TL and ND versions of Charge 5 . TL has been my usual goto. But ND has more midbass and slightly less extended highs compared to TL which has seemingly more low bass and not so much mid bass, a bit like Extreme 1 mid bass. I like ND much more. It is also just as musical as TL. My ND is dark green.

Alan i have a question about the bt range of the motion boom. On the anker website it is stated that the motion+ has up to 30 metre range while the boom is supposed to have only 20m. Did you ever felt like the boom had a weaker bt connection? The motion+ does indeed have a great bt range because i work in a big factory and when we are at maintanence my motion+ holds its connection even if i am on the other side of the factory and it is definetly not a small space. Also, in stereo does the second boom matches the eq on the main one or is it lile the motion+ where both speakers never end ip having the same eq while on stereo? Sorry for the bother. I am tempted to try the motion boom despite already having 2 minirig 3s, 2 motion+ and a hk go+play. :D

I got both the Charge 5 and flip 5. Charge 5 is way louder. I would say 60-70% is about as loud or even louder than flip 5. With very clear and deep noticeable bass as well. But all it all boils down to portability and loudest with bass.

Random question, but how far apart do you usually place your speakers when they're paired in true wireless stereo? The reason I ask is because I use two motion boom as my backyard speakers and wasn't sure how far to place them. When I listen to them inside I have them on my kitchen table a little over a foot apart from each other. Is that what you recommend or should they be further
@alanrossreviews3 жыл бұрын
it really depends on the sound you are going for. standard recommendations will be 4-8 foot apart. Try an online calculator.
