I have the Marshall Emberton and now the Willen. I use the Willen for listening to sports outside on the deck st the Bar. It's awesome sound for live sports and watching TV both on my cellphone. It's small size and strap makes it easy to carry ,hook it to my belt then put it in a chair about 6ft from the cellphone set mid volume.

Have had the bose micro for a few years now using solely strapped to my kayak. And other random things. The battery life on average for me is 7hrs, which is plenty. And it sounds great for it’s size! I will say not having usb-c is a still a bummer, and it definitely could use a separate tweeter for highs. But over all it’s been a fantastic speaker.

So I once got the Sony XB10 and it was pretty solid, but it had one downside, it distorted at max volume. I would love to see you include audio samples at max volume, just so we the potential buyers, can see the max volume clarity and see if it distorts the audio or not, cause never again will I get a speaker that does that, and really should disqualify a speaker in these head to head matchups. Also a battery test at max volume use would be extremely useful information to include :D. Just a thought, anyways, awesome vid, def subbed :D

Bose is mediocre at best. $100 for it is highway robbery first of all. More like a 50ish dollar speaker in my opinion. Battery life sucks, doesn’t get very loud at all, and there isn’t much bass. Sure you can hear it a little, but it’s nothing to rave about. Build quality is pretty good but it better be for 100 dollars. I don’t understand why everyone thinks it’s such a good speaker, maybe if it was half the price I could understand it

Big thing that I felt was as missed with the JBL, was a battery indicator. I’ve had the Bose for a few years now and found this JBL on sale.. sounds great and vocals are definitely a bit more clear… but not being able to visually see the battery power is a bit of a let down. I was just out playing golf today and the battery indicator light was blinking red after 3.5 hours.. which is nowhere near the advertised time. I understand the volume plays a role but not knowing exactly the percentage you’re at is a bummer. That’s what I like about the Bose.. upon turning on you get an announcement of the percentage and you have multiple indicator lights at the top of the speaker, giving you an indication of battery remaining.

@dannyfz 4 ай бұрын

same annoyance i had with the JBL. it can last 10 hours but youd need to have it at maybe 50% max volume and its just not doable with how weak the speaker is. i would have it at max volume and have it die in ~4-5 hours

Astutely and thoughtfully reviewed - thanks! Much appreciate becoming aware of the little Marshall. Might check it out. And thankful to the commenters here who are also proposing the Tribet StormBox Micro 2, of which I also wasn‘t aware. Will also check it out. Reviewers like you make me love KZfaq all over again! :-) As for the contenders: JBL is out of the race for doing the easy thing best (upper frequencies are easy to get out of a small box), and Bose is just doing its old, dusty, sound-signature thing, i.e. dulling/mellowing out the sound for relaxed and „full-sounding“ reply, though with very little trueness to detail (treble and upper mids). As a musician, I dislike the Bose coloration. It only works for me on my Bose S1 Pro. There, enough detail is available for acoustic guitar and vocals, whilst providing a huge bass thump, and the speaker doesn‘t sound dull at all (plus it has EQ). But that‘s an entirely different kettle of fish, as in far more expensive and tons heavier. Just an example that Bose can do better. ;-)

I paired a JBL Clip4 with an Apple iWatch Ultra and I can listen to music without the use of an iPhone (WAN or eSIM). However, I cannot hear audio from the Clip4 during phone calls. I am aware that the Clip4 does not have a built-in microphone anymore. I am using the iWatch mic during calls, but I want to hear audio via a waterproof Bluetooth speaker under some noisy conditions. Audio can be routed from the iWatch Ultra to a SONY SRS-XB43. Why doesn't the Clip4 work in a similar way? Any suggestions about how to fix this issue?
