on pages 20 and 21 in the user's manual there is information about the possibility of adjusting the timbre. Pressing the combination of the Bluetooth and - buttons adjusts the bass strength. pressing the combination of the Bluetooth and + buttons adjusts the treble level. the scale for each adjustment is 3 steps.

@Alan Ross Reviews have you seen the new wking H10 120w karaoke bt speaker. It has 2 tweeters. Two mid range drivers and a big woofer not sure the size. It's a dual-ported design. I just showed up on Amazon in the USA. Never seen it before. It said its been available since December 2022 but it's never been on there tell now so that's odd. It comes Thursday. I'll report back. I'll compare it to boombox 3 and tribit stormbox blast.

Nice video, I've never seen one this in-depth about this product. Also, I'm not sure if I should get the Onyx Studio 8 or Aura Studio 3. I know that the Aura is more powerful because it's 130W vs 50W but I can't decide. I want the Onyx because it blends in with our rooms decor and because it's wireless - but I want the Aura because of the 360 audio. Is there a big difference between sound quality and loudness between the two? And would the Onyx be loud enough for a room which is quite big?

Aura gets pretty loud. If you are looking for room-filling sound and bass deff go with Aura. Onyx is portable and slightly better in highs but for big room for sure Aura (it uses the benefit of main power)

The Studio 8 does sound better, more balanced and less muffled than the 7, but if you have a 7, you wouldn't be missing much. Just get a JBL Boombox 2, it's just easier, and cheaper. Or buy a Marshall Acton 3, cos that sounds great

I bet they had to increase the size of the Studio 8 and decrease the size of the tweeters to make room for those indispensable non-functioning self tuning mics. 😂 At least the tuning seems to be an improvement from the 7 but the mics seem like a dishonest marketing move.

@@alanrossreviews Thanks, I watched your reviews many times before buying the boom box 3, and I understood what I was getting myself into, and I love it, it was a upgrade to my JBL charge 3. The only think I absolutely hate is how JBL does not have backwards compatibility to connect and connect plus, l hate the plan obsolescence. But I have been investigating is there a way to mod the firmware if that does not Work. I am thinking to buy a headphone Jack splitter I saw a 5-1 one on Amazon. And make some long aux cables because I read online there isn't much if any signal degradation at those frequencies using cables the only thing I have to look out for is impedance which can easily be fixed using thicker gauge wires. And lastly use a ldac bluetooth reciever and I got myself a low latency some what wired party boost. Now that would be fine except I bought JBL speakers to use outdoors. Lol

Am I confused because your self tuning demo seemed to work excellent on studio 8, you should not hear any difference and I could only hear a difference from your studio 7 meaning it is NOT tuning. Also I have no idea how you are trying to record it so my ears could hear what they would hear if I was in the room, that's another story not told. Anyway, thanks for talking about and showing it!
@alanrossreviews
@alanrossreviews 6 месяцев назад
you are indeed confused 😁. its not about hearing a difference or not on a single speaker, its about the differences on the 7 and 8 between rooms being the same. they both react the same to the lively room compared to the dead room. this means there is no different tuning happening on the 8 despite the two totally different rooms acoustically.
