Sold the Xtreme 3 after trying the X10! The W-King X10 on 75 -100% kills the JBL Xtreme 3! The X10 sounds superb with a little EQing of highs/mids and tbh is not far off some studio grade monitors I have! Incredible speaker for the price. Stock sound is good but needs a little tweaking to make it shine.
@@monsteryt4735 Really?..! The Xtreme 3 loses bass at volume above 75% whereas the X10 maintains it's warmth without losing bass all the way to 100% volume! The JBL has some deeper lows and higher highs BUT you can run EQ through the X10 and really make it sound fantastic by lifting the highs just a little without making them over emphasized like JBL do! This is a good video but the X10 can sound even better and kills the Xtreme 3 once you crank volumes up over 70%! JBL Xtreme 3 are overpriced and not as enjoyable to listen to for long periods of time vs the X10s paired. The Xtreme 1 had a nicer sound profile with less over emphasised trebles which seem to be a thing for JBLs. X10s bass is more smooth deep vs the hard low deep of JBLs. Personal preference at the end of the day. Extremes can make for tiring listening if other areas are lacking. The X10s tick more boxes overall and are extremely enjoyable all round for hours of listening. Plenty of warm deep bass if you know where to set them up and have good EQ settings. Song choice will produce varying amounts of bass and depth too.. (Xtreme 3 for sale - been replaced with 2 X10s!)
@ryt4735 It didn't in this video, the King sounded better to me by far, but my JBL sounds a lot better than in this video that's why I couldn't give the video a thumbs up. The X-10 weighs 7.93 lbs., the JBL weighs 4.34 lbs. and the King is just a half-inch longer and about the same height as the JBL, which tells me it should be a better speaker. I have an Xtreme 3 and love it, I'll have a King X-10 tomorrow and will try to get back to give my opinion. The only thing I don't like about the JBL is that it shuts off too quickly when not in use, about 5 minutes or so, 15 minutes would be much better imo, and a half hour would be better yet, when it's not playing it can't be using much energy. I think the most important thing between the two is which will operate the longest before giving out, but I guess we will have to wait and see for the answer. At almost 4x the money you would think it will be the JBL, but who knows these days. There is one more thing about the JBL that irks me, JBL won't pair but with a few other JBL speakers, I find the aux cable input on both a very good idea, a cable will always give better quality sound than energy floating through the air, so I'll just get a splitter. I use my JBL as a guitar and other musical instrument amplifier as well as listening to music, movies, and podcasts. I hook it up to a Berringer V-9 preamp that's connected to a Boss acoustic singer and love it. I'm thinking I'll use the King for an amplifier and keep the JBL for music, YT videos, and movies, you've got to love the design and the large JBL logo on the Xtreme. My JBL is a dark blue with a black rubber protector on it, and it's very stylish, lol, but true.
@@daver6555 no way, and there no bass under 80hz so any eq under that frequency isn’t heard, like a soundbar with its subwoofer off or missing (also I behave a 5.1, sometimes the subwoofer disconnects and sounds like the wking) Thus I hear my xtreme 3 all day and no fatigue at 50% or a bit more volume and plain equalizer
@@jcmolero71 how did you arrive at that conclusion? My x10 produced 41hz just fine after some external trickery. Loses no bass with volume unlike the Xtreme 3 which sounds tinny in comparison and ears get easily fatigued listening to one. Stock X10 is muddy and lacks low bass..
Got the W-King X10. Great sound for the price but short lived. After 2 months of use, sound is still good but it takes forever to charge fully. I can't use the speaker while it is charging as it discharges faster than it can charge.. Charging time keeps increasing with every charge. Specs says 4 hours charge time and 50 hours playback time. Mine is 18 hours charge time with 30 hours playback time. Support is non existent. Upgrading of firmware is not possible because there is no proper website to get the firmware from. Should have gone with JBL from the start.
If you want a louder and less deeper sound with the jbl xtreme 3. you can put it in a different mode were it is much louder and sharper sound. You have to push the volume down button and the bleutooth at the same time for 10 seconds and than you its mouch louder.
X-10 has a 7800mah battery now, not a 15600mah or even the 13500mah like the older versions, Just sent an x-10 back and got the JBL, no comparison. Don't be fooled.
I'm a musician and I've been involved with speakers for over 60 years. I bought an Xtreme 3 and an x-10 and compared the sound and features for a week. I returned the JBL yesterday and bought another X-10 today. The X-10 is the superior speaker in every way.
Must've blown out your hearing with all that sound. The Wking is mashing the treble in the vocals and stomping on the mids with bass. Maybe with some EQing it could be fixed, but the default sound profile on the Xtreme 3 is superior.
@@yunggolem4687I do use a mixer as well, but I compared the JBL & the X-10 using the same equipment. If you bother to check out the specs between the JBL and the X-10 you will find the X-10 weighs almost half again as much, and that in itself should tell you something. The X-10 has approx. 20% more wattage too. Many once great companies have sold out to foreign owners, JBL is now owned by Harman International, a subsidiary of Panasonic, which doesn''t make it bad, but it's not what it once was. The Japanese aren't stupid, and if they can sucker people in by milking a once rightfully prestigious name they will do it.
