I have a LG CL65 Xboom 950watt Stereo system, that I recently bought a month ago, it sounds pretty good, & we have a older LG CM6520 660watt Stereo system that ive had for 8 years, & it's a really decent system. We bought a slightly used LG RN5 speaker for $70 a few weeks ago & were able to link it through RU-vid to the CL65, those two together are absolutely amazing. I just ordered another slightly used LG RN5 for $100 it should be here Monday. I cant wait to Party link both RN5's together. I couldn't beat the price on those RN5 Xboom speakers, $170 for two of them is a steal. I kind of want to buy a JBL partybox 710, but my wife is giving me a hard time about it. Since we have 4 LG XBOOM Stereo's now.
one of the best youtube channel comparisons ....actually use bass music to test....other channels use crapm music and you cant REALLY tell levels of bass....good job....and straight to the point not much wasted time at all!!!!
Hey Rob this is your brother from another mother, Curt from Tennessee and after watching your reviews on your Ok 75 and ok99 I have decided to go with 2 LG RN 9’s instead of m going with the CK99 mostly because it’s easier to move and like you said the 8” subs hits harder than the 15”’s I am just a ole school 90’s low rider BASS junky 😂😂😂
Welp I bit the bullet and bought an open box RN5 today at Best Buy! I couldn't pass it up for $230. Absolutely SLAPS...I could hear it in the back yard when I had it cranked lol!
Just one question. Did the jbl runs with battery on ur video? If yes, retry with AC power... With battery, only 160 watts are available and bass lower. With AC plug, 240 watts and little bit more bass. Thks for the video! 😉
Watched this vid with Skullcandy Crushers on.. That RK7 destroyed the bass competition in a landslide! Don’t get me wrong all 3 sound great, the JBL definitely has a balanced clean sound but that RK7 really hit them lows man.
lol actually the rk7 sounded the worst, it had the deepest bass for sure but as for clarity I think the rn5 and the jbl were very close. The rn7(not in this video) is great and beats the jbl.
Já JBL é a grande referência para as demais marcas quando o assunto é som, mas as três são muito boas. Eu gostei mais da LG rn5 do que das outras, mas pra mim as caixas se equivalem apesar da pequena diferença sonora até entrega as próprias caixas da LG, mas são todas de alto nível, o que pra mim não justifica a JBL geralmente custar o dobro do preço. Eu compraria a LG rn5👍.
I go for the Samsung one hahah Lg is moving fast in quality i have the newest party box 100 which sounds more crispy on the high vs the 300 and sounds idk louder and cleaner when putting the bass boost , the funny thing it’s that the driver on the party box 100 are smaller maybe amp got upgraded in some way . Competitors will continue jbl has years ahead on audio hehe but yeah the lg sound good . To be portable is the way to go cause then what’s the point of them being compact if the can play only at home ? Just get PA loud system w that $ heheh . Great comparison what love that you took the time and budget to share your systems thanks 😊 have a good day!
Robs reviews and demos I agree jbl is coming out w another one single center speaker this one will be over price around 400$ it hasn’t been released on U.S but I heard this one has a mic along w effects and all but not as loud as the party100 so it’s worthless unless you want less weight and less wattages and pay more $ . Hehe I mean there’s likes ppl that don’t know about the other ones will end up buy that new one . I saw some Ev and Jbl at 600$ range price I had the chance to hear them I didn’t like it the highs on those other model sound way too much highs it heard my ears and had almost no bass and cost more $ . This ones like the LG you go sounds with punch and it’s just in the right amount of value
@@charlschuck6 Yeah I have found many jbl's have too much highs when turned up. The new Lg models sound amazing, I'm working on the rn7 right now and the sound is much better than the jbl's of equal value.
Robs reviews and demos one question that I got does the lg have a sync ability to wirelessly connect two of the same models to each other and get stereo Bluetooth ? I noticed on the jbl it has a nice professional feature and it’s compresión on the guitar as mic input making this like a real professional mixer so you won’t found like the speaker is going to pop or the person singing even at low volume mic level have great performance . I have a mixer that does have these and I was surprised it has this built like at professional level . I had other power Bluetooth speakers and they obviously don’t have these built in so when speaker or singer is so loud this distortion sounds on the overall sound . For this details I have used the jbl outdoor I have hooked up bass guitar piano w and w out mixer heheh some will just buy speakers cause of loudness and not care of details or quality sound . But I love the battery technology used for the jbl I do many projects w lithium batteries . Smart charger it keeps them well balance and monitors the charge . My nephew dropped milk not that long ago and Inputs stopped working so I was able to do repairs on this but I was amazed at the chips that amps has . It could be used as lighting weights hehe it weights around 20pounds , how much does the Lgs weight ?
@@charlschuck6 OK so the LG rn series does pair up but they are not stereo. The only LG that will do stereo paired up is the Rk7. It's a good speaker, but not as nice as the rn series. If you want stereo pair up I would recommend the JBL partyboxes.
Do you think so, the rk7 definitely had the best bass, the jbl has the best lighting, style and bass at low volumes, but all around features and sound I liked the rn5. The jbl is the better portable speaker for sure.
I own the RN5 and PB300, the RN5 is way louder which is expected since it's a Home Audio System not a portable BT speaker, but the bass is not really there for my liking, plus it's not as clear sounding as the PB300, I'll take the PB300 over the RN5 any day
Really? The jbl definitely goes lower but the RN5's clarity is dead even with the 300. Plus the rn5 does NOT lose bass when over 60%, which is huge when comparing sound quality. Even better is the RN7 which has mids, it blows the 300 away in every category but lighting and is the same price. Thanks for watching and I appreciate your opinion I just disagree.
@@Robsreviewsanddemos thank you so much for the review. I just bought RN7 for $269, so far I loved them. More power & features than my JBL PB100 with the same price
Hi Rob. You are doing amazing so far. Please can you do a review of the JBL Boombox or Boombox 2? It really doesn’t matter which one you do, but I would really like to see how you view the sound quality of the speaker. Keep up the good work!
Thank you I appreciate the kind words. I have played with the Boom Box in the store and it's loud, the sound quality is as good as all JBL products but I find that again, it's overpriced. If you need something with a battery and that's very portable, instead of the boom box I would go with the Ultimate Ears Hyperboom, it's not quite as loud, but it makes up for it in sound quality. Plus it's stylish enough for your living room. Heres a link to the review. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ial_Nodn4fw.html
Robs reviews and demos Thank you. I have seen your review on the Hyperboom and I think it is a very good speaker for the price. I would just suggest maybe doing a review on the Boombox 2 (maybe you can borrow it for a few days) because I would really appreciate your opinion on it before I buy it. Thank you!
@@leigh-ann7508 Unfortunately I have another LG lined up next and I've had several requests to do some sony's. If I do the boom box it will be awhile. Sorry. What makes you want the Boom Box? Because I'm a nice guy I just went to compare the stats for the Hyperboom and the Boom Box. The Hyperboom will go lower on the bass, outputs about the same for both, battery life is the same, but the Hyperboom charges in 2.5 hours compared to 6 hours for the boom box. They are both splash proof. SO basically the Hyperboom beats the Boom box in every category, plus it's way prettier. It also has a customizable EQ in the app and it has the very cool Adaptive EQ, which is awesome. Basically it senses when you move it and adjusts the sound for the placement of the speaker. I have brought it to several parties and everyone loved it. It also retails at 400 bucks compared to the JBL's 500 dollar price tag. If I were you I'd go with the Hyperboom, it's a much nicer speaker and it's cheaper.
@@leigh-ann7508 Cool, according to the specs I just read, the UE actually goes 5Hz lower and it's just as loud. Buy both and return the one you don't like as much.
HI there, I`m looking at the lg Rk7 and Rn5 mostly for Karaoke singing... Do you think these are about as good as you can get for around the 250$ to 300$ range for Karaoke or would I be better off with the Dolphin brand speakers? I see the Lgs are on sale now for 250$ Thanks love your channel.
I love the lg's, for Karaoke they're great. The rn5 has more features and better sound, the rk7's advantage is if you get a second unit you'll have stereo sound. The rk7 sounds decent but not as good as the rn5
@@ZaveAres I went back to get it and they jack the price up by $20 which is not bad comparing to best buy $499 and yes they're not easy to find in stores 😁
@@ZaveAres there are shortages of everything right now because of covid. Sale prices will be hard to find too due to money printing. Inflation is out of control.
Mr Robs I want to buy LG XBOOM ON9 It is the same model as the LG XBOOM RN9, but is only increased in the CD unit I want your valuable advice, Mr. Robs. Is the LG XBOOM ON9 worth buying and is it value for money or not ? And I want to know how many watts it is because I searched a lot and did not find any answers ? Thanks in advance, Mr. Robs Greetings to you .
Hi robs, the xboon rn7 is on sale here in Brazil. I'm thinking buying one. Did you ever test how it works on acoustic guitar / mic ? The partybox 300 is 2,5x the price =( thanks
How abt if the price are the same still but what would be your pick on JBL 710, Sony 900 and the of the line LG X BOOM? Your feedback is greatly appreciated.
I'm so torn between the rk7 and the rn5. How many decibels do they go up to. The rn5 is cheaper but it honestly looks like a washer or a dryer. I just don't know abt putting it in my livingroom. The rk7 on the other hand looks good and can turn sideways Infront my TV console. What do u think ... How many decibels do they go up to
I think they're pretty close in volume. The rk7 will do stereo if you get a second though and the RN5 has better clarity. I like the sound of the rn5 better but it IS ugly.
@@Robsreviewsanddemos just wish I new the spl of the rk7..I plan to get it and use a toslink splitter to play it with my jbl 5.1 soundbar at the same time BC I think my soundbar doesn't play loud enough. Love to sing too. Thanks for responding. Watching fr Jamaica
Sure it will, but it's 3 g's right? I can't afford to buy that yet. I'm sticking with the more reasonable priced stuff because I think most people won't pay that kind of money for a speaker.
They're both nice speakers. The pb100 is great, it goes very low, it has a battery, is very well built and it's pretty to look at. The rn5 is louder, has a more of a jarring bass you can feel thump and has more features. But the frequency response is not as low on the lg and it's not much to look at. If I had to pick one and they're priced the same, I would go with the JBL.
@@happytotin2382 The RK7 goes lower than the rest but the rn5 shakes the house more. The JBL isn't far behind plus it has a battery. If I had to choose one and I didn't need a battery I'd probably go with the rn5, but if I planned on getting two eventually I'd go with the rk7.
@@Robsreviewsanddemos I'm kind of on a budget I don't want to spend over 300$ and I can get the rn5 or rk7 at best buy for like 245$ so which one do you think i should get?
@@jjb_gxp1921 Oh I apologize go with the rn5 unless you will add another speaker later. If you plan on adding a second get the rk7 as it will do TWS. "Stereo"
If you could answer a couple of questions it would help me ensure you get something you'll love. How will you use the speaker most of the time? Do you plan on adding a second unit in the future? What kind of music do ya listen to. How important is the functionality, Karaoke, sound effects, recording, etc? Is lighting important to you? Last but not least what's your budget? Those answers will tell me what I need to know to make a recommendation. Three to five hundred dollars is a nice slice of cash to invest in a speaker, so I want to consider everything and make sure you get a unit you will enjoy for years to come. Also I have tested several other units around the same price that may fit you better and the new Samsung Giga T50 is on it's way.
Robs reviews and demos hey I’d love to answer these and have you recommend as well’ So I’m in college so having one that will be good when we got the house full of people is important. I don’t plan on adding another speaker unless I had to. I want one loud enough to use outside obviously not too far away but be able to hear it playing bags or whatever. We listen to a lot of country but the parties have a lot of EDM and rap as well. The lights and stuff really aren’t important. I just want solid Bluetooth connectivity. I’d be willing to spend up to 500 bucks. Thanks a lot!
@@caseyleez2477 I absolutely love the Ultimate Ears Hyperboom. The Hyperboom goes for 400 regular retail. It's very easy to move and sounds amazing. It's plenty loud for reasonable sized parties. If you want around 600 watts of power for those huge bashes, go with the LG RN7 which I am reviewing now. The LG does not have a battery but handles all types of music better than most speakers. The connectivity is good to around 60 feet I believe, the speaker is loud and sounds excellent. It sells for 500 bucks regular retail. I picked one up for $450 on sale. Here's the video for the RN7; ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-wiB71dfFltU.html&t= Here's the Hyperboom, my 2020 Portable speaker of the year. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-KvGobxT3FWs.html&t
good luck getting much right now, seems like many are out of stock. Either way try to get the Partybox 310 if you need a battery. If you don't need a battery I recommend the LG rn7, you'll get about twice the volume with the same sound quality. Won't go quite as low as the jbl but you get a lot more speaker for the same price.
Watch the bass boost demo and you decide, it's towards the end. I liked the lg rn5 best but the rk7 goes lower for sure. It doesn't sound as crisp though.
You gotta remember speaker sensitivity has a lot to do with how loud a speaker is. So even thought the JBL's output is only 240 watts the speakers are more sensitive witch is why it's louder. I do agree it's way over priced at regular retail but if it's on sale it's worth it. It also has a huge battery that lasts hours and that's a great feature. That said I have no use for a battery powered speaker that size, which is why I like my LG's more.
My experience is that the LG Rk7 and the JBL are not so different of the volume because the Rk7 goes to 40 max .on the Mobile phone maxed it goes only to 25
@@thefirstscranox4719 Yep, that's the one thing I hate about the lg's, gotta use the remote to turn it all the way up. The PB 300 is definitely louder than the rk7.
Portanto, eles não avaliam a potência nos novos modelos, mas se eu tivesse que adivinhar, diria cerca de 240 watts de áudio reais. É assim que o JBL é avaliado e eles têm quase o mesmo volume. Thanks you for watching Antony.
@@a..b..9308 No it's not and yes I'm aware it's about frequencies, speaker sensitivity and power. The Rk7 went way deeper than the pb300, sorry that's a fact you can hear it. My mic goes down to 17 hz. If you can't hear it sorry buddy. All I can do is share my experience, you don't have to agree with it. Maybe you should start your own channel and do some tests. Thanks for watching and have a merry Christmas bro.
@@a..b..9308 Sorry but you obviously didn't try a comparable lg model. Which models did you try? I've had many models side by side and while the jbl's used to have better sound quality the lg's always had better bass all the way through the volume. When I did my first battle between lg and jbl I had never owned an lg before and I thought there would be NO WAY the LG could stand side by side with the jbl. But they have, and the new models are a better value, have equal sound clarity and more bass. I know you're a fan of JBL and so am I, but I will NOT lie to my viewers. The LG's are ugly and the large models don't have batteries, that's the only place they are lacking. When it comes to sound they are at a minimum equal and they actually beat the jbl's in some cases, especially when it comes to the new RN models. They also have way more functionality, the on board EQ for example makes a big difference.
I had an rk7 and don't get me wrong it sounded great, but it's not no 550 rms...more like 100 or so plus my aiwa exos 9 rated at 200 watts sounds just as good if not better in my opinion.
Wattage can be misleading, it really depend on a combination of wattage and speaker sensitivity. Decibels is a more accurate reading of how loud a speaker is, but then it can be loud and have no bass. That's where I and other reviewers come in. You either trust the reviewers opinion or you don't. I've seen some reviewers that give everything a great rating, it helps them get more free demo products from manufacturers. I'll never do that, I will always give you my honest opinion and if I think something sucks I'll say so. I haven't tried the Aiwa, but I hear good things. The Rk7 is a decent speaker for the price, it's missing something in the mids and highs though. I find most speakers without mids never sound quite right. Some do better than others like JBL, but some like Sony stick if they don't have mids. Thank you for the comment and watching.
I've always been into audio systems but I've noticed quite a few company's over exaggerate their wattages or they're rating them a lot differently...take receivers for example..a lot of them are rated at 100 watts a channel or more..then you take a 40 watt a ch receiver from the 80s and it'll blow them away even through just one single speaker, but if you ever do get a chance to try the aiwa...jump on it. It amazes me every time I turn it on..plus it has a 5 band equalizer to adjust the sound too. As an owner of both myself I think the aiwa sounds every bit as good if not better than the rk7 and can get pretty loud too but what's even greater which was the one thing I hated about the rk7 is the fact it has a battery too. I guarantee you won't be disappointed if you get one plus they have really good customer svc too if you would have problems.
@@justingalasso1850 I believe it when it comes to the aiwa. Check out my videos on the Hyperboom. It is absolutely my favorite bluetooth speaker I've tested by far.
