The medium sized JBL Charge 5 takes on the big Soundcore Motion Boom (pound for pound world champion) and the huge Sony XB43. Can this 40 watt bluetooth speaker from JBL match the bigger portable speakers of the Soundcore Motion Boom and XB43. Best speaker for 2021?

Awesome comparison, Alan! 👍 The value of the motion boom is undeniable. The fact that it can be adjusted to personal taste within the Soundcore app automatically gives it an edge but that low end bass really sets it apart from other speakers in it's size and weight class. On another note, how do you think the maxsound plus would compare to the charge 5 for low level listening? This video prompted me to think about it since clarity at lower volumes seem to be strengths for both of them.

Very informative comparison Alan, thanks a lot. I opted for the Motion Boom after seeing your vids and am so impressed I bought another one! To my ears the Motion Boom, with custom EQ, has a glossy sheen at the high end compared to the other speakers you have tested it against, which I love. As you say the deep bass is amazing, I never thought that it could be produced with only 60mm drivers, I'm guessing that with them being titanium they are able to have greater excursion, compared to paper or plastic, without potentially damaging them.

About the XB43 sounding muffled: reduce the "mids" slider in the EQ, and it's gonna improve. There is possibly a bug in the EQ w.r.t. that slider (on FW 38.00 at least), since setting it high, to me at least, results in a sound that seems deficient in mid-tones.

@NetRolller3D 3 жыл бұрын
@@alanrossreviews I bet they didn't quite update the EQ code to account for the crossover. The "mids" slider is probably routing midtones to the tweeters, hurting clarity - meanwhile, midtones to the woofers are uncontrolled, or controlled by the bass slider.
@NetRolller3D 3 жыл бұрын
Took apart mine today; turns out, the situation is far worse than I thought. There's no crossover, the tweeters are pretty much just for show. I tested the speaker with the tweeters disconnected - virtually no change in sound. Then I disconnected the woofers, and only plugged in the tweeters - barely anything audible (a very quiet and bassless version of the original track, and not at all like what a proper low-pass filter would do). Finally, I took out the main PCB, and traced the connection to the drivers. The tweeters are directly connected to the woofers on the negative side, and through a 1.8μF capacitor on the positive side. That's 8.84 ohms of reactance even at 10kHz, and over 25 ohms at 3.5kHz, essentially connected parallel to a 4 ohm -woofer- full-range driver, in essence. This also means, since the woofers are fed by a YDA174 amp, with a maximum sustained output of 30W, and burst output of 40W, that the XB43 can only be called no more than a 30W speaker in good conscience. Sony did not fail to disappoint with this one. EDIT: I may just be an idiot. I completely missed 2x100μH of inductance in line with each woofer. So it is a proper passive crossover (as much as a passive crossover can be called "proper"), but still only a 30W speaker.
@alanrossreviews 3 жыл бұрын
@@NetRolller3D thanks for the info. so the takeway is? what frequencies are the tweeters actually playing? when you say it is a proper crossover the woofers are still full range right outside of bass? so it cannot be said to be a proper crossover i would have thought if the woofer and tweeter are still covering the same range at the high end. the tweeter your saying only has a filter fed from the woofer?
@NetRolller3D 3 жыл бұрын
@@alanrossreviews The capacitor & inductor values seem correct for a 3.5kHz passive crossover assuming a 4ohm woofer and 32ohm tweeter, but there's definitely still quite a bit of sound coming from the woofers even at 4kHz. Maybe the speaker impedances aren't actually 4/32.

not sure what you mean by the subwoofer wont play any lower. the bass in the boom does roll off and doesn't play down to 20hz flat like a decent sub would/could. yeah a sub would sound different, the bass of the boom for me isnt of great quality its more about he quantity, its not very tight or defined by great for size and price. this passive vs rad will be a matter of opinion i would say. i have always thought of ports and passive rads and the same thing, using the air pressure, both having advantages and disadvantages over each other. at least with a passive rad you dont get that port noise.

A Sony that sounds warm? Nah man never 😂 You got it backwards. Sony actually has a cold crisp bright sound with emphasis on the highs.. JBL actually sounds warm with deeper mids and lows. Which sounds better? It’s actually a matter of taste. I love JBL’s sound signature. I think there highs are loud enough to not sound over bearing and the lows and mids hit hard enough to not drown out their not so bright highs.

The JBL is actually quite nice, but for the price the Boom is the one. Often times I'd be listening blind on these tests and some parts of songs the Boom was better, some the JBL, but when the JBL shined it shined nicely. I just have personally a limited use case for speakers but want something that outshines my old Motion Qs, and the Motion Booms do it well. Great bang for buck. I prefer the Motion Boom more than the Soundcore party speakers for overall sound.

Tested the JBL extreme 3, Charge 5 and XB 43 at Mediamarkt. I must say the difference of the smaller and larger JBL wasn't that big. The JBL has alot of bass but lacking in mids and has a high pitch treble that left my ears tired from It. The Sony has a much more musical If not more relaxing tone response IRL. What was surpising was the sound spread oattern! The JBL had 40degree sound cone before it dropped of by 50%, whereas the Sony had a 90degree sound cone. So the Sony is better for entertaining a few friends on a blanket in a park I would say. The JBLs bass is a bit much in the park aswell 😅

First impression with my Jbl charge 5, a fairly clear and neutral sound without impressing in any way. Then I set an external equalizer (10 bands), turned on dolby atmos and started listening the "Two steps from hell live at Wacken Festival" concert. It was wow, the sound quality is impressive for a mono speaker under 1 kg. The speaker suddenly became much more dynamic. Jbl products always sound better on live music than on studio albums. To get a quality sound, the speaker must be set according to the type of music you listen to. Jbl eq in the app is quite rudimentary.
