I tested these in Best Buy today because I really wanted to pay less than $100 for a mini speaker but I just couldn’t do it. Bose’s quality was way beyond these and I had to go with who would bring me joy , shout out to Marie Kondo.
@@vincentfontain9127 the XB stands for extra bass. It's automatically active on 1/4 battery or more. You will very clearly hear when the difference between it being on or off.
Thanks for your Review..i did end up getting the Bose Micro..OMG..The qualitty is Superb...Excellent little Speaker...It went beyond my expectations....Get it.....!!!
@Music Releases i totally agree...and battery life is insane. I'm now looking into that Large JBL BT Speaker for my Living room...yeahhhh buddy..Need that boomn bass...
@Music Releases If they are happy that’s all good, I’m not trying to make them unhappy, as someone who owns a stereo pair of both I can say that I never use my xb12’s for bose is soooo much better
The Bose micro is an incredible speaker for its size! The sound is very good with crisp, clear miss and highs with just enough bass that it doesn't drown anything else out. Battery is good and very solidly built!
On my Android, I can use and pair up any 2 bluetooth speakers using my "Media output". Just make sure you check and mark both speakers connected on your bluetooth connection.
I dont consider buying any of these because of these. 1. No aux jack. 2. No mic on jbl. 3. No type c on sony. I dont understand why these big companies are competing in removing features and accessories, it has become a trend for them. Apple started it by removing earphones and earphone jack and now removed charger o their iphones. This trend is really fucked up. And because of this trend these good sprakers have absolutely no deal from me and many others like me. Not gonna buy them. I would rather go for Tribit or Boat or portronics. They have really amazing speakers that sound as good as these jbl and sony and at almost half the price with all the featurea and accessories. Why wouldnt anyone go for these less expensive great products and not go with the Brand show off. Pay for better products not brands.
I got the JBL charge 3 which is really good and I got the bose just for more portability and put it on my e-bike, but I put it in my bookshelf wall in one of the bookshelves and the sound is huge for a little speaker
the bose is defintly more durable fell out of my electric scooter at 20 mph and no single scratch had it for a year and still works perfect altho i hate the charger
The soundlink is still undefeated. It just overall sounds like a bigger speaker than the other 2. It sounds a tad bit muddy, but the bass makes up for it.
@@drcover it's not bad but the Bose Micro is built to last and the sound quality is so balanced and finely tuned. Sounds better than most compact speakers that are twice the size
@@drcover actually. Tribit is louder. But i know why. Basically, the two speakers has bass boosted in every level of sound. But when the speaker is at max volume with a lot o bass it will reduce de bass but it should not reduce mids and highs. Tribit does a better job than bose in terms of keeping bass boosted at max volume than bose. Bose will reduce sound when the bass is really high. So if you listen to the two, the bose compress the sound more while tribit don't reduce mids and high at 100% volume.
I went with the Bose because the strap is actually the perfect length and width for a Mollie system, connecting to 2 loops without any swinging, so it attaches perfectly to my backpack. I do wish the hasp was stronger though. Never falls off, because the hasp is a hook shape. But it un-clips on my belt all the time and flops around. Plus it’s the best looking one, disguising itself as a conference call phone. I haven’t had any problems with battery life. It’ll last a 12 hour shift while listening at an ambient volume.
Definitely Clip4 is better than others. XB12 is okay but outdated Bose sounds horrible for the price. I got my XB12 last year for $30 ish so It's fair enough.
Honestly, its the bang for the buck option. Stereo sound for the price of 1 Bose. It was the weakest of these, but not by as wide of a margin as this dude would have you believe. The Flip 3 is old asf by now, yes. But the Flip3, while much louder, was only just barely a bit more punchy in bass than the xb12. So, if you get one for 40 or under, you're probably going to be satisfied with it.
I always got JBL’s but they don’t last . Because I was to cheap to invest in a BOSE. Well after my 3rd JBL went out!! I finally treated to myself to a BOSE. So glad I did. What a difference in quality 🙌 I got the big BOSE and it is awesome ❤️ So I treated myself to this little BOSE! And I ❤️ it !! It might cost a bit more! But they last! And sounds way better..
Cant believe the Bose sounds better and it's like 4 years old and the first version. People used to test it vs the clip 2 and here we have the clip 4 which still hasn't met it in terms of sound quality. Have the Bose but still want to get the clip it should be a great speaker
I love Bose, all my speakers in the house are Bose. But I couldnt decide between JBL and Micro - i've got to say every video ive seen JBL sounds better and is half the price. I don't know what people in the comments are hearing
Yes but what matters the most is sound quality which Bose definitely takes the lead. It's also very tough built, has a strap and better battery life. JBL products are definitely good tho!🙂
I have had extreme 1 and now have Xtreme 2 for a couple years. The strap broke long ago and carrying it around for miles in my arms was tiring. Now I have a dog and she is hard to control on the leash..when I am walking her, I usually find myself trying to hear music through my cell phones speaker as i walk the dog...so i cant carry around a big speaker when i have my dog, so I just ordered the clip 4, to amplify the music on my phone - the speaker is small enough to carry around with me when i walk her without being impeded or weighed down...
I felt the bose has more bass. but i actually recommend clip 4 since it sounds more open and bass is enough. Because you will not expect impressive amount of bass from these tiny speakers and you will focus on loudness and quality. And price of clip is also less than bose. So clip 4 is 🏆
The cost of BOSE in my country that I can get JBL Charge 5 or Sony XB43 with it so crazy And UE wb2 is same cost as XB12 and that crazy too In the other hand tho ppl saying budget brand ANKAR! there products are more cost them well know Brand like SONY, JBL, Etc and that crazy me the most
Do we know if we can just bluetooth 6, to multiple devices. For instance I can pair a 808Canz speaker and a JBL charge 4, via BT6 I don't think it's in L&R config, but both will play same music Using a Samsung s20
Bro 😂Sony xb12 is 10watts and u r completely tricking us on JBL (sponsored), Sony gives natural sound and a tumphy base where as as JBL sounds a bit artificial in mids.
It's advertised at 16 hours, but that's with 25% volume which SONY doesn't state. Whereas JBL has 10 hours on 75% volume. If both are at 25% the JBL will go more than 16 hours or more like 24+ hours.
How bad is the sony compared to the rest. I mean, is it too bad? I love the boomy echoing bass of the sony that feels the room unlike the strong punchy bass of jbl. There's punchy hard thumpy bass and there's soft boomy echoing soothing bass which i prefer and sony has that, i think.
When the battery goes they quit working . Too much money for disposable speakers. There are plenty of portable power sources these days. Offer a Bluetooth speaker that is USB powered only . Pass it on
I have the Bose Sounlink Micro but have stopped using it due to no turn off option. It always switches back on automatically and repeats ready to connect in middle of day, night, anytime. I have submitted several feedbacks to Bose on this but it seems this is as per design. Sound is great but I have stopped using it due to this inconvenience. Does the JBL or Marshall also auto-starts by itself when turned off? I need to buy new speaker, please suggest
i still go to jbl, i tested both bose and jbl and jbl is louder.... bose is just a complete rip off for the price 6999pesos which is a half price of jbl clip 4. which is louder, bigger bass, and has more clarity
