How old is the bluetooth speaker you have?
Can someone tell me the loudest one? I’m assuming it’s the one for back door but I have the UE boom already. Is it worth?
best bluetooth speaker for calling?
I’d recommend the tribit stormbox micro as an alternative to the clip 4, i very recently got one for my brother. You get some great sound considering it’s only about $60 and it’s very compact. You can also pair two of them for stereo sound
how does it compare to the regular Bose Soundlink?
I find it funny that each time it says “Audio From”, it’s the exact same sound each time. There’s literally zero difference between any of the speakers when that audio plays.
Thank you.
There are several affordable bluetooth speakers available in the online market, the tribit, tronsmart, mifa bluetooth speakers with quality sounds and less expensive. Best alternative if you have a tight budget.
Idk but the JBL was the clearest and sounds full and the Bose sounds rumbly with no highs
I like the Sono
I teslly don’t understand the logic of connecting an analogue turntable to a bluetooth device. Sounds to me like buying digitally mastered vinyl. You lose all the benefits of the far superior sound quality of analogue recordings and lose all the benefits of a digital system’s compactness. I’m also not a fan of any Bose systems I’ve heard. The bass is always too overpowering and the higher frequencies sound washed out as a result. I’m going to take a listen to the one in your review though in case they have sorted out the quality now.
I would get the boom 3 if only they upgrade the usb port
I used to have a JBL Clip 3 and while it’s portable, the sound volume and quality left much to be desired. Recently took a chance on Clip 4 and whoa, what a difference. Noticeably larger than Clip 3. When wearing it, anything above 50% power is TOO LOUD. The bass is more than noticeable and the rest of EQ rivals many much larger competitors. If you want a wearable speaker for biking, hiking, etc. this one can’t be beaten.
I would never buy any Bose kit! I got a pair of headphones, the most expensive purchase I made in a Long time! But within a few weeks I tried to use it on a aeroplane and it completely failed! What is the point of noise cancelling headphones if you can’t travel with them. Customer service was appalling, and they couldn’t find a fault. Never again Bose! Never!
Video for under 100 dollar
What portable speaker can produce better sound quality than Flex?
I’m researching before buying one and I intend to spend under £10 on Ebay. £120? 🤣
I need one just to get back at my stupid loud neighbor
Recently got 2 bose flexs on special at half price so a stereo pair for the price of one, sounds awesome and great for by the pool.
I have the sony srs xb 23
These are ay too big outside of the JBL clip 3
Literally not the best or affordable choices,
Never paying more than 60 bucks for a speaker and even less when they cost 180 that’s insane and not worth it.
