In this video we’ll be comparing 2 portable bluetooth speakers, we have the “Soundcore Boom 2” and the “JBL Xtreme 3”. Both great speakers, but the Soundcore is hands down the better choice in my opinion.
JBL Xtreme 3 and Xtreme 4 are very similar sounding speakers, so this comparison will also apply to the Xtreme 4.

After listening and comparing them both some more, the soundcore is 100% better when it comes to maintaining its sound throughout all volumes. JBL Xtreme sounds great at 50%, but as you crank the volume higher, the bass quickly starts rolling off and becomes very anemic at 100% volume. Meanwhile, the Soundcore is still thumping at 100%. At higher volumes, it's embarrassing for JBL how much better the Soundcore truly sounds.

@RealG23__ 2 месяца назад

But the soundcore has no bass at all no matter where u it from. I heard the sound irl by accident, but tbh it has no bass the soundcore

Anker sure is becoming a powerhouse of a company these days. From power banks to all this!

@marv2400 5 месяцев назад

damn.. Thats right. I still have my old anker power bank. I used to buy em left and right every time they were on slick deals, lol. Good stuff but now they cost a lot more since they came up in the tech world

@josesantiago7240 5 месяцев назад

JBL gotta get with the times. They used to be able to charge what they wanted, but now that speakers like this are all over the market, they're just overpriced and underdelivering. If it wasn't for their status of being a popular speaker, I doubt many people would even buy em anymore. Does soundcore sell in stores like best buy? If not, they should definately do so. I'm sure they'll make a killing when people can compare it side by side with a jbl. Great and in depth review Eric!

@marv2400 5 месяцев назад

100% agreed. JBL is old tech at crazy prices. the bass roll offs are just embarrassing and awful compared to these newer internet speaker brands we have. Yet JBL is still one of the most expensive out there

I bought a soundcore Boom 2 but I have got a defective unit. The woofer makes a metallic noise even at low volume. I am returning it and I am not sure if I should buy the same again or if it is better get a different speaker..

@EricReviews 4 месяца назад

Sounds like a random defect which can happen with any company. As long as they're not giving bad customer service, I'd give em another shot. I use mine a few times and week and haven't had any issues.

@AntoG4RS 4 месяца назад

@@EricReviews I have other Soundcore devices and this is the first time I find a problem. I gave it another chance and I ordered a new one. Hopefully this time it will not be defective. The first one, at the beginning was sounding ok. After pushing the volume UP for some deep bass music the music started rattling even at lower volumes. Like if there was no protection against speaker damage.

@EricReviews 4 месяца назад

@@AntoG4RS Yeah, sounds like you just got a defective unit. I've been using mine near max volume with a lot of bass heavy music and havent had any issues

@jedolivier2688 3 месяца назад

Yeah, if you’re gonna get the EXTREME 3 use it indoors where you can plug it in & get the full 100 watts. In A/C mode you’re getting 25 watts per driver & tweeter. In battery mode, you’re getting 50-60 watts. 12 1/2 - 15 watts per driver & tweeter. This is why it doesn’t sound like 100 watts when it’s plugged in. You’re only getting 10 - 12 1/2 watts more per driver & tweeter. They distributed the power equally among all the tweeters & drivers.

This looks solid. I left JBL years ago because in this day and age, they're just overpriced. Back in 2010ish they led the way, but now they're just riding their brand name and not really offering anything of good value. Great review Eric.

@TimG-lb1nh 5 месяцев назад

Technology sure has advanced. Seems crazy that you can spray a speaker with water and it just keeps pushing like nothing is happening. Electricity and water usually dont mix, but here we are, lol. Looks like a good speaker and it sounded like it still had a good amount of bass outdoors as well. How does this stack next to the Tribit Blast or W-King T11?

@EricReviews 4 месяца назад

It's a solid speaker but the Tribit Blast is in a different league. It's much louder with a much bigger sound, but also a lot bigger and heavier as well. In the end it really just depends on what you're looking for in a speaker.

@jedolivier2688 23 дня назад

@@joshuavantongeren1734I own both speakers & all I can say is that it all depends on where you're going to use it the most? Indoors or outdoors. If your preference is indoors, while it's plugged in, the EXTREME 3 sounds really good at max volume from the highs, mids & bass. The Boom2 doesn't sound anywhere near as open & sounds dirty compared to the EXTREME 3. For outdoor use, I wouldn't use either one of these speakers. Go with the W-KING X10 or D9-1.

I have flip 4, partybox 110 and anker motion boom plus. I had Xtreme 3 - I Love JBL sound but X3 dissapointed me so much - it's awkwardly bulky and I thought it would be just in between flip and partybox. It is not and totally not worth the original launching price - maybe 200ish - maybe at this pirce range I'd forgive the sound quality above 70% of volume. I got Boom 2 for 90 USD and I hope it will do the job :D This video is reasuring :D

@EricReviews 4 месяца назад

The Xtreme 3 is definitely a let down. good at low volumes, but 50% and up the bass just vanishes. I also own the JBL Charge 3 and that even sounded better to me. Boom 2 definitely blows them both away while somehow managing to be cheaper as well

@sf49erswarriorsgiantsgumba99 2 месяца назад

I’m a JBL fan, and have a jbl 310 PARTYBOX and a boombox 3. I also have the 1st version of the soundcore motion boom. But I’m really impressed with how Anker has come up, and is up there with the big boys, with half the price of a JBL. No more JBL for me, as there’s so much good speakers out there catching up,if not better and half the price!!

@687donny 22 дня назад

I have both but if I had to sell one id sell the soundcore only because since it has no midrange and only tweeters drivers it produces so much bass it swallows up the vocals but the bass it produces is thic©©© but the Xtreme gets close if you know how to push the speaker in a smart way

@Bound4Earth 3 месяца назад

I just can't get over how the Anker looks like a cheap plastic toy. Good on Anker for continuing to iterate the Soundcore because when it launched it bass was garbage. They have finally caught up to JBL, sadly Sony already ghosted em with a product that doesn't look like my nephew is playing with it.

@EricReviews 3 месяца назад

Which speaker? Sony's new field 1 is not in the same league as the Soundcore. It's weaker and closer to a jbl flip in size / output yet costs the same as the Soundcore. I'll admit it's a sleek looking speaker, but I'm not picking looks over specs and output.

@haroldjones12 3 месяца назад

yeah the soundcore is nice and all but it doesn’t do a good jod when it comes to vocals nor separating vocals unlike the jbl its does all that. no where near as clear as jbl, however the soundcore is too boomy and many who reviewed it said the same and countless have rated it a 7/10 which isn’t too bad given its price

@jedolivier2688 3 месяца назад

The JBL is an inside speaker, especially when you plug it in & get full power. To do this, the battery has to be fully charged. You’ll know that it’s fully charged once the battery light stops blinking & eventually turns off. That’s when you’ll know that you’re getting A/C power, the full 100 watts.It’s only putting out 50-60 watts in battery mode.

@808jspekeg6 Месяц назад

Indoor speakers would be from their parent company, Harman kardon (Onyx studio, go + play, etc ). The Xtreme is designed as an outdoor speaker. In addition, the boom 2 utilize all 80 watts on battery. It is embarrassing that the $370 Xtreme gets slaughtered by a speaker that is normally on sell between $89 to $99.

@jedolivier2688 23 дня назад

@@808jspekeg6All I know is that I own both of these speakers & when used indoors with the EXTREME 3 plugged in, it smokes the Boom2 in volume & sound quality. I use a 14 PROMAX with phone EQ off & the JBL EQ on the flat or 0 setting & at max volume, the EXTREME 3 sounds really good & full from the bass, mids & highs. I don't get that same type of sound quality with the Boom2.

@jcmolero71 4 месяца назад

Soundcore could be more bassy but they are more fatiguing since they are boomy, hard pass for me

@EricReviews 4 месяца назад

Soundcore doesn't sound boomy at all in person. It has a built in EQ so it could always be tuned down as much as you'd like as well. JBL sounds good below 50%, but the Soundcore puts it to shame at anything above 50%.

@@joshuavantongeren1734 You have to keep one thing in mind. In battery mode, you’re only getting 50-60 watts. It distributes its power evenly to the tweeters & drivers. 12 1/2 - 15 watts per driver & tweeter. In A/C mode, you’re getting 100 watts, 25 watts per tweeter & driver. This is why most people don’t think that it’s putting out 100 watts. It doesn’t sound like 100 watts in comparison to the 50 or 60 watts in battery mode, due to the power distribution.
