Bose is smaller in form factor.

@WWeiss-nv5vz Not by much, though.

True. Bose S1Pro+ went down to $650. $100 less than EV.@@BluesCat1980

@@WWeiss-nv5vz I mean.......how small does something need to be?

Alto Busker even smaller/lighter 12 lbs! I agree with you, the size, weight difference wouldn't make my buying decision. @@BluesCat1980

Ev speaker delay is awesome for having two speakers separated

Thanks for this! Been reading on both and I think I'm leaning more towards the Bose because it's at $600 now and I will mainly be using it with vocals

I found that’s really depending on which microphone your using, mine sound loud and clear. I found my old Bose L1 Compact pre amp suffered with this problem, but not my S1 Pro.

iplay violin im used microphone, its amazing!

Yes, they are. I use my two Everse 8 speakers paired an EV ELX200 sub. It's so clean and robust. I love it. 😊

I'm jealous! I have a single Everse 8 over the ELX sub and it sounds incredible. Would love to hear a pair.@@BluesCat1980

This is absolutely true! I’ve been using my Bose S1 Pro for busking for a while and I’m struggling to get enough volume from my Shure SM58 microphone even though the mic volume is all the way up. I’ve been thinking of getting a portable phantom power and mic preamp to increase the microphone volume. The alternative is to sell Bose and buy EV 8

Before you sell them you might want to try adding a sub to the S1Pros. Night and day difference. Bose Sub1 or EV ELX12-SP are perfect matches!

comprei a bose hoje levando em conta seu comentário, para uso amador mesmo no bluetooth e ela não reproduz os graves, corta e faz um barulho bem feio mesmo em volume baixo, vou levar para ver se está com defeito, mas pelas pesquisas que fiz aqui ela é boa com um sub ou pra uso profissional com voz/instrumentos, dei um tiro no pé 😔

@@burn3649 otima escolha amigo, eu trabalho profissionalmente e faco shows de voz e violao pra mais de 150 pessoas com ela, sem perder os graves! Aproveite

@@burn3649 The Bose S1 Pro has great bass, of course if your after “Sub level thump” then it needs a Sub. (Just like any other 🔊) I’m blown away with how great this thing performs for the size and portability it can’t be beaten imo.

Yes, the S1 Pro is an amazing little system 👍🏻

@@jazznotes3802comprei a nova bose s1 pro plus ! Quero mais graves ! Qual subwoofer você recomenda ? Qual é compatível ? Não tenho muito conhecimento a respeito

Great choice. Have two and also own the Maui 5 Go. Great sound! Bass reaction is impressive for the size of this speaker.

What are the best settings for it because mine keeps hitting the limit

link. im looking for one

Thanks for the feedback!

Thanks!

Not to mention although the EV definitely has a hot spot, it’s factually louder before clipping. And arguably fuller sounding too.

No feedback its amazing .. i sing next to it, dont need a monitor

Yes, you can.

@@BluesCat1980no, you can’t. It has been confirmed through the manufacturer that you need a wire tether to run stereo when you have a mic line-in. You can however run stereo without a wire tether when you run Bluetooth from your phone.

That's the thing. I'm not saying the Bose is bad, but soooo many people believe/act like Bose is the best thing since sliced bread and it's just not the case.

Plug and play- Bose Features,App,Volume-EV

Not entirely true! The Bose S1 Pro comes with a 6-inch woofer alongside “three 2.25-inch drivers.” Very different to an ordinary PA Speaker, that has just two speakers. This results in an impressive sound quality that is pleasant to the ear without causing listening fatigue. You also have a much more even volume dispersion (much like an array.) The sound quality of the Bose S1 Pro is also incredible. It doesn’t sound like a PA, it’s much more natural sounding for singers and guitarists as compared to a regular PA speaker. But if you like what your putting in to come out sounding like a PA then perhaps it’s not for you, but if your after a more natural sound, clarity and frequency separation, then it can’t be beaten for it’s size imo. For me is ALL about the sound quality and clarity of what it’s producing. I’ve had a loud LD System Array years ago and at volume’s it sounded very muddy.

@@jazznotes3802 thanks for the explanation. I think Bose is not getting a fair comparison from most people. There are factors they are leaving out.

@@profitglen Yeah, true. The S1 Pro is really made for Singer/Guitarist/Songwriter

If you doesn't speak spanish use a translator. Hola mi amigo, soy de México y he tenido las bose s1 pro dos veces, la primera me deshice de ellas por tener un sonido horrible en el momento que la presion sonora salía de la caja, es como si los hoyos por donde sale el aire fueran insuficientes y llega a confundirse con un sonido de cartoneo, cuando no los tuve más, en una fiesta tuve la necesidad de pedirle su par de bose s1 a mi suegro para mi fiesta de cumpleaños y sonaron sencillamente espectaculares, el tema es que los volví a comprar y note lo siguiente: lo que da la victoria respecto a agudos y medios en la bose es el diseño interno de sus tres medios agudos distribuidos uno hacia en frente y los otros 2 hacia arriba y hacia abajo en forma de abanico, eso querido amigo incluso siento que responderá a tu pregunta,es un sonido nítido y hermoso que hará que tu guitarra tenga un sonido excepcional, dicho eso tienes que saber que el bajo de las canciones de reggeton, reggae, hip hop y muchas otras más tienen una frecuencia destructora para estas bocinas, totalmente aniquiladora, tu bocina terminará siendo basura pronto si no descubres esto y permites que la gente le dé rienda suelta en las fiestas, ni siquiera bajando al mínimo el control de bass se llega a mitigar el daño, solamente bajando esa frecuencia casi al mínimo desde el evualizador de tu fuente, en cambio he tenido electrovoice para ser exactos la zlx15bt la cual da esos punch sin problema alguno, no se forza la maquina en ningún momento, es una marca más pro para fiestas y que jamás te dará ese sentimiento de destrucción en tus bocinas por géneros con mucho bajo, pronto tendré en mis manos las everse 8 (apenas pedí una porque son caras) pero espero que tenga el mismo rendimiento en cuanto a ese corte de frecuencias que la ev de 15", si usaras tu bocina s1 pro para 90% conciertos con guitarra al aire libre ve directamente por la bose s1 pro ya que te rendirá bastante bien y ahorrarás algo de dinero, si lo usaras en fiestas y eres de subirle mucho y piensas dejar la bocina sin vigilancia donde quizá haya amigos que le suban sin que te des cuenta ve por una everse 8 sin dudarlo. Saludos!

Ev is weatherproof and has more spl for filling bigger outdoor venues.

The output on the inputs on the EV is incredible esp for wireless mics at ceremonies. And EV just dropped the Everse 12 🔥

They will link wirelessly.

For a mic, yes.

I wouldn't know I haven't tried the S1 Pro.. but I've tried the ev everse 8 and it sounds amazing but then again I play electric

PA sound-super clean, in your face, sounding like live electrified instruments up close, vs something like Bose or Yamaha less fatiguing, smooth Hi-fi sound.

Air Horn with a sub sound ..
