Same but that is what Bose is selling people, their sound eq preset, which soothes more, but why not get the more capable charge 5 and install Poweramp EQ with 31 customizable bands. Bose product seems like a rip off or something for lazy people

Which one you recommend? Pls help

@@sainathkaja if you can get the flex for under a $100, it’s well worth it! The sound is more pleasant and easier in the ears. Although, JBL does sound loud for its size. I’d personally go with the flex but it also comes down to what you prioritize.

What should i buy?

@rayallen4967 As the comment stated. Bose is better for chilling and small gatherings and the JBL for parties. So it depends what you are looking to do. I personally like the sound quality of the Bose Flex better than the JBL.

estas en lo correcto amigo, por que bose en un volumen menos del 80% para el tamaño que es se defiende muy bien, muchos opinan que es el competidor del próximo Flip 6, pero es imposible que bose le pueda ganar ya que el Flip 6 traerá su Tweeter el cual hará de un sonido cristalino.

I agree with you when you say Bose is expert in psychoacoustic. But It’s half the size of charge 5 it actually is in the same level of charge 3... the Bose reaches about the same depth in bass as the charge 3.

@@AudioyMas no me gusta bose, pero créame, este parlante es muy potente en termos de bass, el flip6 no podrá ser mejor, en el bass, el ventaje del tweeter con el flip6 será al máximo volumen, con un sonido agudo irritante.

@@migks37 yeah charge 5 too big...prefer the smaller size of the Bose flex. and it has amazing sound will having a small body with a premium feel (aluminum).

I agree. I brought the charge 5 overseas to my wife and the fam and she's in love with it. So I'm leaving it with her and the fam here in Cambodia 🇰🇭. I'll be back in the states this week and I'll be buying another Charge 5.

Scammed

@@EvanLovell - Not scammed, smart. The treble on the JBL Charge 5 sounds way too harsh. Just because someone else made a different choice than you would have, you can put on your big boy pants and not resort to your BS tactics.

@@edcipriani8873 the only reason the bose sound bassy is because they just push the mids the jbl is actually flat and it has a tweeter and a actual woofer the bose has a speaker that is the size of jbl tweeter and it sounds so bassy and muffly

​@@EvanLovell - Let's look at the real specs here: The JBL Charge 5 actually has a 20mm 10-watt tweeter and a racetrack-style 52mm-by-90mm 30-watt woofer, and two passive radiators on either side. The Bose Flex has full-range 60mm transducer, and dual passive radiators, one front-facing and the other facing the back of the unit, showing that there is some bass presence here, which indicates that your statement, “The only reason the Bose sound bassy is because they just push the mids,” is not accurate. I have listened to both the Charge 5 and the Flex in several KZfaq comparisons as well as in-person, and a few other Bluetooth speakers besides these two. I actually bought the Flex about a week ago and I am overall impressed. Even though the Flex obviously doesn't produce as much bass as the Charge 5, the Flex still has a good amount of bass. Some people prefer more bass and some of us prefer a more balanced sound, go with what works for you. The one thing that I didn’t like about the Charge 5 is the treble is too harsh. Additionally, besides the Flex, I also bought the Marshall Emberton a couple weeks ago as well on a great black Friday deal, and that speaker definitely delivers more bass and clear highs. I might have to keep both the Flex and the Emberton. I actually own about 4 other Bluetooth speakers besides these recent purchases, including a Klipsch KMC 1 which was purchased in 2015, so I know the competition pretty well.

​@@edcipriani8873😊

I have one and agree, however side by side I still prefer the overall natural and realistic sound of my Bose SoundLink Mini.

no way you're serious about that lol@@BobC59

Real fact

Correcto

that chrge 5 can last up to 20hrs and much better

yaaa that's it

yea but it's not loud enough for outdoors that's basically a home speaker but the jbl can us for both home and outdoors

Same here bro

I have this issue. The battery doesn’t last and if i play while charging it just dies. So I just went and got a Bose 😄

I own one, these audio comparisons sound absolutely nothing like the real thing, how could they when they are first recorded though a crap microphone then filtered through youtube and then played out of whatever speakers the viewer is using. its an absurd idea.

​@@CurtisGabrielMusicwhich of these speakers do you own?

Judging by this comparison, in my opinion it's the other way around, and the Bose sounds more muffled and muddier compared to the JBL. JBL sounds more open.

no, busy

@@NEWSRESEARCH123 come on :D

Marshall Emberton/ Stockwell 2

exellent analogy

The Bose Flex comes alive and opens up on its back due to Bose’s automatic position EQ. It doesn’t sound distant or muffled on its back like it does standing up, yet hardly anyone demos it on its back. You also get 360 sound on its back and it is just an easier position. It also sounds good leaning at an angle. Somehow the speaker knows when it is completely vertical and changes the EQ to that muffled sound.

What should i buy bose flex or charge 5? Please help

​@@rayallen4967Go for Bose Soundlink flex, i am sure you will not regret....

Bose Flex anytime 👍

Bose is balanced all over frequencies!??? Are u on meth? 🤣🤣

The bose sound muffled bro 😂

@ainajoe5874 Yes, when standing up I feel the same way. The Bose Flex sounds wayyyy better on its back. Like a different speaker. It is really the only position this speaker should be played on. Bose has position EQ and on its back the mids and highs are enhanced quite a bit. It sounds very good when on its back…plus you have 360 sound for when walking around your house and listening. Unfortunately nobody seems to demo this speaker on its back.

Sounds like stock to me considering JBL didn't add EQ to their app until recently.

btw Motion Boom is better than the Motion Boom Plus, sorry my fault do your research

Just lower the treble so that the c5 sound less screechy

I have been thinking the exact same and came to realise (going in a store testing sounds) that charge 5 needs to be cranked up for a deeper bass & those little background sounds in a song you won’t wanna miss however, Bose flex, even at low volume sounds just as good as it would at 100% But, the battery life for jbl (also the fact we can use it as a power bank)

I have a Soundcore select pro. Not only is it louder than the charge 5, it’s got more bass, and clearer sounding.

​@@rebelmadesaint3118stop the 🧢

​@@rebelmadesaint3118that shit is a garbage

Soudcore is cheap shit

​@@Leo_Dave_Secwahi LOL

Try a review on devialet phantom

And the price🤔

The bose sounds really trapped and covered... not even comparable.. in this case paying twice less is a very bad decision

Weight is considerable.. But the quality of sound and product build is good in JBL..

I stil suggest to get a anker soundcore motion +, which destroys both and is sometimes available gor 70$ on prime day or black friday.

@@mxz2024 agreed !!!!!!!!!

BOSE SOUNDLINK FLEX

@@sherhanb_dj Ok,thanks

no cres mas probable preguntar en ingles ya que el 99% de los que escriben son en ese idioma, creo que seria mejor, como ves?

Would you think the Bose soundlink flex would be better compared to a jbl flip 5 or 6 than the charge 5? Or what model do you think would be a better comparison? I kind agreed with you.. the jbl is just a bit bigger and is able to house bigger woofers. Also the jbl charge 5 has a real nice tweeter that previous models didnt.. I love BOSE and I love JBL... it's still weird to me how different these to speakers sound when compared side by side.. I personally give the edge to the JBL.. just sounds fuller with a bit more midrange authority. They both sound great tho.. "tomato-potato" lol

@@Bug-sg1li Actually? You're wrong. JBL'S sound signature lacks critical detail. If you go back, the smaller JBL speakers all suffer from this problem. Same with Sony. JBL'S larger speakers are excellent. But in the portable Bluetooth segment, both JBL and Sony miss the mark. I will say that if your music preference is rap, the JBL and Sony are for you. But if you listen to jazz, big band, classical, vocals, etc....stay away from the portable offerings from JBL and Sony.

@@Bug-sg1li Actually? All manufacturers are going DSP. They are following bose. Looks like you have been asleep the past few years.

@@Bug-sg1li J Robledo is 100% correct. The smaller offerings from Sony and JBL have that "cheap" sound. Bose was ahead of it's time over fifty years ago when they came out with "wave guides", Speaker manufacturers all learned from bose. And wave guides appear on many many different speakers. DSP has become the wave of the future. You lack the intelligence to understand that bose was always forward thinking. You display a "sheep-like" mentality as you parrot 🦜 the BS that's fed up to you. I was critically listening to music before you were born, so take your BS elsewhere.

He still didnt fix the song name xd

The charge 5 heavily outperforms it, nowdays the charge 3 is closer to the flip 6 than the charge 5

Bose has an optimizer

@@mx-deadz Ik that but like still I think the JBL just sounds more better out of the box you know especially for the people that don’t know how to do all that stuff or they just don’t like do all that other stuff I think the JBL sounds better you know
