Yeah, realistically that isn't going to happen, replacing 10 speakers with 1-3 is tough as it is, much less when those 10 speakers were designed for the space they are in and those 1-3 are jammed into an enclosure with the amp and battery in a single unit... I mean the closest you will get is a one of the big JBL Party Boxes which honestly isn't very portable at like 75 pounds and 45 inches tall, not to mention they run a grand or so. If you just want decent sound quality -AND- portability the JBL Flip, Charge, or even the Extreme series are pretty decent, but for high end quality you are going to be going well over the $500 mark... KEF, Bowers & Wilkens, Sonos, etc. And Bose... Yeah, I am not a huge fan... I would take the Infinity system in my Hyundai over it in a heartbeat for sound quality.

I mean for the big speakers a partybox 210 is like okay (also speakers of the same size usually sound very similar), 310 is the best for medium sized rooms and anything above is practically not needed. For the medium sized ones, a boombox 3, charge 4/5/6 are pretty good cost/sound sound variants. For the smaller/little ones it's hard to choose, since you usually can't get much bass out of them. I chose mine by the specs and knowledge. JBL has been around for years and has developed a pretty huge ecosystem of syncing tws clear sounding speakers. Although they're pretty pricey, I think most of their speakers are worth it. How to choose: Ratings/comments under product Specs (Size, wattage and speaker range. The lower it goes, the better it usually is.) Price: must not be overpriced. The less rgb the lower the price (usually (not talking about partyboxes rn))

I wouldn't recommend any Earfun speaker to someone who isn't very tech savy. Every Earfun speaker sounds mediocre out of the box and they need EQing. I really like my UBOOM X, but I just can't recommend it to my mom. That's why my mom has a JBL Charge. Also, any of the stock (normal or OLUV's) EQs are way too focused on deep bass, which isn't the best with classical music. And it's not very portable I think, it's rather huge.

105db? Thats complete bullshit, i got a jbl charge 6 louder and that clocks at 101,3db(A) and for the 250$ price tag it has worse specs/performance then a charge 6/5. It has worse SPL, worse clarity, worse battery, and worse bass response although durability is mostly equal as far as i have abused both (ranger and charge 6).

Bose soundlink flex 2 has great bass for on the go. Especially for it's size. If you play with the eq in the bose app and put it in the corner. It sounds way bigger that it's size. Earfun Uboom X is also great. Its larger but almost the same price as the bose. The bass on it is fantastic. Devialet Mania is an wonderful sounding speaker. Big bass, great highs, and a big price haha ?? Jbl flip 7 or charge 6 are great for outdoor usage.

2Audio-Admirer6 • 7 months ago

I'm a huge jbl fan boy but this is where I disagree the new flip 7 I belive has 35 or 40 watts and the charge 6 has 45 most bookshelf speakers are 20 to 50 watts per enclosure even with the bookshelves being at the minmum it still can be pushed to its max without compressing unlike the jbls after 70% the jbls dsp kicks in and compresses low to low mid frequencies to help reduce distortion and keep clarity unlike bookshelves where you can push them and push them with keeping the spl of all frequencies somewhat the same and when distortion happens guess what just dial back the gain a bit , pair that with components that are designed to have a flat frequency response and an amp with lets say a 12 band eq or even a 6 band eq and now you have a fully customizable sound stage and eq, now let's argue yes the new jbl gens do have a 12 band eq but not only does jbls amp have a preset eq and dsp but much like the partyboost I bet you when the auracast is active it will turn off custom eqs to keep the fr the same through both enclosures yes you have system eqs on Android and there are apps that let you controll the signals eq but either way the preset dsp will compress and compress the signal the more you mess with the eq unlike vintage equipment or bookshelf speakers in general they not only have flat response drivers but they have an actual enclosure not just for increased fr but spl aswell. You have to think about it too both enclosures are for a completely different purpose. The cheapest hifi system will blow two flip 6s or charge 6s out of the water no doubt maybe not in db but most definitely in quality of sound and low to subsonic fr. Now let's say op were to get two jbl bb3s now you are talking that's something that will contest with most bookshelf speakers or hifi systems, sure you won't have that flat response but the bb3 is pretty wide (in the fr) and has a a 3 way setup that's an effecient setup especially when put into stereo mode now you have two mids two tweeters and a dedicated sub for the left and right channel now that's gonna blow this setup out the water. Jbl definitely does have hifi components but not on their small to mid sized portable speakers like for example idk if anyone else feels like this but jbls (samsung, harman Kardon) drivers tuning is very high pitched with sub bass and low mids? Even on the mid woofers it lacks detail and the tweeters have to much presence.

The Boom is almost twice the height and 50% heavier. That would have taken a fair bit of space in your suitcase and it's a whole different concept fitting it in a large suitcase v a small backpack. Like I said, anything can be portable but some things are much more convenient than others.  I do agree it sounds incredible however. I own both and for ease of use I'd only travel with the charge

Just got a charge 6 and mixed feelings vs my 10 year old minirig 1.. . It won't take digital audio from my dx180 ibasso app via usb and the treble mid range only comes from the left it's like lopsided audio . Is this normal ? Realise it's a mono speaker but I thought it had 2 tweeters...Can't see a balance control on the app either.

Just the weight and size, especially in comparison to the Charge. It depends on what you define as portable however. For me it's being able to easily slip it in a backpack and hold it with one hand. The boom is a bit too big for that but it's definitely still transportable to some extent

Not sure about 5 speakers as I only have 2. I assume it will eventually disconnect with some distance but I'm impressed with how far away my two speakers can be from each other. I have the JBL Charge6 and the JBL Flip7. The Charge6 is my host speaker. I keep it in one room at the corner of my house. The Flip7 maintains a connection no matter where I put it in my house with the farthest distance from the host speaker being about 60' and that's through multiple walls as well. I haven't yet tried it at any greater distance.

Honestly, if it's just for the bedroom, I'd go for the smaller [JBL Charge 6](https://www.soundguys.com/jbl-charge-6-review-132332/) and use the 7-band EQ in the companion app to adjust the amount of bass to your liking.

I've had most of the lineup from JBL. The Go, Clip, flip, charge, extreme, and boombox. The only one I wasn't really happy with was the clip...it was being sold in a two pack and yet lacked the capability of virtually every JBL speaker which is to be able to link up to other JBLs and play in stereo. They're all good for their size/price. Obviously the Go doesn't thump like the boombox does but it's a fraction of the price and size. I think any of them up through the Charge can be charged with a USB cable then the bigger ones like the extreme/boombox have a proprietary charging cord. They're all at least somewhat water resistant and rugged all the way up to the Boombox and the Extreme being submersible. I remember when I first got the Boombox, being at a pool and my brother asked if I was worried about the speaker being so close to said pool. I said it's supposed to be waterproof and I then proceeded to throw it in the pool. It was totally fine. Battery life on them are all respectable, and at least personally, I haven't had a battery fail yet. The extreme and even more so the Boombox, seem to last forever. More recently I bought a Sony xg500 (Boombox equivalent) when it was on sale. Not a bad speaker, has good mids and highs, but the bass was a little lackluster and overall it couldn't get quite as loud as my 5 year old Boombox. It has an inferior IP rating compared to the Boombox as well. The only thing it really has over the Boombox, that I didn't even realize for a while, and it may or may not be a positive depending on the person, is it has some lighting effects on the side that strobe with music. Overall the Boombox is really the better buy for sure. The only other speakers I've heard that were as good or better were some bose ones, but they didn't have much bass, and the ones I saw didn't seem too rugged. The UE speakers I've heard were fine but not as good as JBLs

It really depends on what you need. The JBL Charge 6 is a smaller speaker with great sound and a premium, ultra durable build. The Soundcore Boom 2 doesn't quite match that build quality, but it gets louder, hits harder with more bass, and packs in more features. If raw performance or value is your priority, the Boom 2 wins. But if you don't need 80W of power or care about the LED light show, and just want something more backpack friendly or nicer looking, then the Charge 6 is the way to go.

What do you mean with portability? Able to transport it with a car? Able to place it with other stuff in a bagpack? Able to carry it on a cart like a fridge? Also depends on where you’d use it and how you’d use it. Obviously, those portable ones (to just fit with your stuff in the backpack), you won’t get dance floor thundering bass and rather a good background sound for a gathering with a few friends. If it’s for the backpack style (cause that’s what I’d consider portable) I wouldn’t go bigger than Jbl charge 6 size. Different brands have different signature sounds. I really like jbls, and the newer Sonys. Pretty much any soundcore speaker and Tribit and so on that I had in my hand, I wanted to tune them over their equalizer cause I didn’t like there profiles (I remember them as muffled) Sony field 1 is a great portable and sounds good. Same for flip 7 and charge 6. also worth looking at features other than sound and robustness. Soundcore motion 300 also one I remember with a really nice sound. From what I heard, if you go for a Jbl charge size speaker, looking at the difference to the next bigger one like Jbl xtreme or soundcore boom size, I would say the sound difference can be named almost irrelevant. There is more bass, yes, but not enough worth mentioning to me. So I’d say go either flip / charge size for spontaneously taking to shower and back, outdoors in your backpack, or Jbl boombox size if it has to be taken sometimes by car and needs a big bass for a lil dance round.

Thanks for sharing my link! The JBL Charge 6, Flip 7, and the 2024 Beats Pill are the only Bluetooth speakers that I'm aware of that offer lossless audio. But yeah, it's only over a USB-C wired connection. You can't even run a second one for stereo performance in wired mode either, so you're stuck with mono.

I'd recommend the Charge 6 over the Flip 7 if you're looking to go with JBL, or maybe the Bose SoundLink Max, if you've got deep pockets. The Flip 7 isn't that big of an improvement compared to the Flip 6. There's some minor improvements, but the Charge 6 now has a carry handle so its pretty easy to carry around compared to older Charges.

JBL Charge is a good pick, or the Flip series if you're more concerned about size, although they are both pretty compact. Soundcore Motion Boom is a good choice as well, however it's a bit more awkwardly shaped if you're trying to fit it in a bag.

Would perhaps you care to specify the exact specs of the speakers and the amp? I got the Flip 6 recently which is pretty much identical to the Flip 7 sound wise and I was vastly disappointed with its' outdoors capacity. It is a small room/apartment speaker at most. The Charge 5/6 delivers great performance/portability ratio. The Xtreme 3 was a huge letdown outdoors as well, you just expect more from a speaker of that size. I never owned a Boombox but from what I read it is a huge upgrade on the Xtreme. So if size/portability is secondary to you - don't cheap out and get the Boombox. If portability is important go with the Charge 6.

When hiking, you probably don't want to lug around a speaker as big as the Soundcore Boom 2 plus or Rockster Cross (the first generation of which, by the way, is available in Germany for around 80 euros). I would rather go for the Charge 6 or, alternatively, the Teufel Rockster Go 2. But if you really want a boombox-class speaker, check out the EarFun UBOOM X. No other speaker currently offers better value for money. And it's superior to the Soundcore Boom 2 Plus in terms of sound quality.

I have had a Soundlink Mini for about the same time. Just sold it though, got a surprisingly good price for such an old device. The truth is I never really liked the sound quality. Bought a couple X600's a couple months ago, and they blow the SL Mini away in sound quality. Also they're louder and have bigger batteries, and cost about the same as I paid for the SL Mini back in the day. The SL Mini just sounded too dark for me, to much bloated bass and muddled voices. Talk radio was annoying as voices don't go through very clearly. I probably expected too much from such a small device, but I was glad to learn that BT speakers have progressed in quality in the meantime. If I was looking for a replacement I'd definitely look at either an X600 for the sound quality, or a JBL Charge for the fantastic battery life.

Ult 5 is really good but not great portability wise, it's a bit of a brick. The Xtreme is bulky too but a bit more convenient. Charge is the best by far for transport.  I found the Ult 5 bass really lacking, especially for the size. Xtreme blows it away, and the Ults only marginally better than the Charge. Sound quality is great still  Id say the Xtreme is the best, but the Charge if portability is a big factor.
