No idea unfortunately. Hopefully someone can review these more soon

@@mark-bellamy thank oyu verry mutch for answer me

Not been able to compare directly my self, but the sound this thing puts out is awesome! I find it works a lot better in my smaller room than larger, as the bass seems to cancel it's self easier. It's all about getting this thing setup on the perfect position and it's unstoppable!

@@noragalano-g9x bose soundlink doesn't come close to this speaker :) but yes, you can yet this to distort, but then you can any speaker if you drive it beyond it's limits. Brilliant speaker though! At 30%, the bass can start to be heard down my apartment corridor, so very easy to upset neighbours with this

Will try and get some more this weekend 👍 the speaker has to be in the perfect position. Walking round the room, you can hear the bass go from full on to nothing. In my living room, it does not do it justice. Maybe try and outside test. Unfortunately I have nothing else to put it up against.

@@mark-bellamy thank you so much! Usually most speakers have some room cancellation due to frequencies bouncing off the walls, but so far it sounds awesome!

@@keviningram1914 no one yet. Am sure Brane will be looking for a distributor. No idea on the legal side if they can sell this or not outside the US. You can get them, but you would have to get it sent to a forwarding service.

@@kingkobra1956 hey, have you managed to test this? They say 12 hours at reasonable volume... Which I can only assume would be roughly 30% I have not tested this, but have had the device in the office playing between 30% and 50% and it was almost at 50% battery life after around 4 to 5 hours.

I also guess it depends on how you want to use it. I keep it plugged in when I'm at home, that way it's always on and always charged. I can then grab it and take it to the park or too the pool where I spent maybe 3 hours at most, so it actually works pefect for this scenario :) In the UK, I do music for events and I use the SoundBok, they can fill a large area for 15+ hours and the batteries are swappble but the thing is massive. Dual 10" speakers. Thinking about it, Bass pulls a lot of power. I have it set to medium / high in the EQ. This will massively impact the battery life. Turning this down a bit will probs get you upto the stated 12 hours easily. But then you do lose the products main focus. Hope any of this helps :)

@@kingkobra1956 even more digging on this subject.... The device has "6 standard 3400mAh Lithium-Ion Batteries" I'm going to guess they are wired in parallel to create a 2 cell battery, so slightly higher voltage but half the capacity. So 8.4V with 10200mAh. Or 3 cell.... 12.8V at 5100mAh. That gives us at nominal voltage (11.1) roughly 52W hours. 52W / 12 hours = 4.3Watts. Now as Watts are not linear per output, I would say around 30% volume seems about right here. This is all just a quick research, hopefully someone can provide more accurate info :) again, hope any of this helps in some way haha Main thing is, enjoy 🎶

@mark-bellamy I read a review of the Brane X because I was contemplating purchasing it and the review stated battery life was four hours.

No idea :( hoping more people review this! Amazing speaker

I just ordered one and will be comparing them to some of my beefy Bluetooth speakers! Can’t wait to hear or feel the results!

@@Matthew-vg7xh can't wait to see some more reviews against other products. Compared to my old bose sound link, it's no compaison, but this is much bigger. But then the sound bok Bluetooth speakers are amazing, but massive!

Hey! So there is a black fabric and behind that there is black plastic mesh. The sub is hidden also behind plastic which has holes, so you can see it just. There is another video by Brane which shows you the speakers and how they look :) but due to them being water proof, I guess that's why they are hidden.

So Brane says US only. Not sure if that's due to some legal reason. You can get this posted to a service which will forward it over to the Philippines for you! But any issues could be a nightmare if you had to send back

Me too

True! There both similar sized. I think the Brane will win for stereo image and mid range. Bass.... It's going to be a close one. I think it could be a tie for bass. Overall I'd expect the brane to win 👍

@@RomeenSabahi-y1x weirdly I have just been say in a bar, with 2 sonos Play 3's playing. I had no clue what they where until I search your question. I can tell you now, the bass of the play 3s doesn't even touch the Brane X Speaker. They was quite loud though, and sounded ok. Hoping soon we get more people reviewing and doing comparisons, but doubt they will match the Brane bass wise, not at this size anyways :)

Yep. The DC brick works on America and UK AC input. Just swap out the cable to the DC brick for couple of quid and your sorted.

@@chokechange Never heard one in real life, but watching the reviews, the Brane X would stand up against the small one easily. The larger one however ($3000) goes silly loud for it size. This would be a great comparison at some point but also this is Branes first product and it may be easier to scale than the Devialet, so maybe in the future they will bring a bigger Brane xXx out to rule them all haha

@@ostrove4694 I know, I bought this speaker solely off written reviews. Hopefully this can show people what to expect. I can't say how loud it gets, as I haven't measured it, but the sound completely fills my small ish flat and the bass is like having a dedicated sub in the room. Just have to remember this is portable and you can take it out with you, which makes it fantastic. I also own the BokSound Bluetooth speaker which I take everywhere in the UK. Much larger speaker mind, but covers a massive area with sound.

@@mark-bellamy I think you did a really good job. Listening with headphones helps with getting an idea how loud it is when compared to your voice. I think I'll get one too when it's available in my country.

Glad it helped :) As these are being shipped in the US now, more reviews will start to appear. It's strange how the Brane team have not advertised this more them self's. As for the international shipping, I'm from the UK but was sent to the US to work for a few months and I heard about them so was perfect timing for me to grab one to test. Perfect for summer parties. If I'm honest, I also have the 'Bok' bluetuth speaker in the UK. It's a large Bluetooth speaker, has 20+ hours of battery life and goes 3 times louder than the Brane, but it was designed for big parties :) the Bok is my most used speaker I've ever bought carrying out parties for local events and in woods. So worth checking out also.

@@mark-bellamy for more of a clear 'hi fi' speaker, sure along with a good bass. what speaker would you recommend out of the Brane X and the 'Bok' bluetooth speaker.

@@joshuaedwards3522 the Brane X wins here. But you could loose some bass and look at Hifi speakers, and get better dynamics. But the more I listen to the Brane, the more I love it.

@@gumz4183 so at first I thought the highs where really lacking. But I've been listening to Sonos speakers, and they are a lot brighter but the sound from the Brane X is well balanced when the EQ is changed from the default flat position and they sound wonderful. A really nice warm room filling sound. For the price I am super happy!

@@mark-bellamy thanks!

@@gumz4183 after going backwards and forward between Sonos Fives in a stereo pair set 2M apart vs the Brane, you can hear the stereo image is not even close. But it would be hard for any speaker to replicate a true stereo sound with the speakers 15cm's apart haha But In recordings where I could clearly hear the singer on the left and sounds that travel left to right, it didn't come through like this on the Brane. But the brain is still fantastic at what it does. Critical listening the sonos wins, but for pure fun and bass madness, Brane wins

@@mark-bellamy I know they’re a bit pricey, but ever thought about getting another brane speaker and doing a stereo test? I wonder how a stereo pair would fair against the Sonos fives..

@@ianmatthews276 this I would love to hear! But money isn't the issue, I'm not from the US, so I have to get this all home or sell it when I leave. I would guess the stereo image would come to life, but the Sonos will still be a lot brighter and the Branes would bring the walls down. Hopefully Brane can do a comparison for us soon!

Amazing aren't they!! Have to link to a review when you make one!

What I want to know is how long the battery will last and how many cycles. Alexa works flawless also which the era100 totally fails at

Enjoy mate, fantastic speaker. Have to let me know when you review it and your thoughts!

have you already tried it? how is it?

@@derkeckvomeck2574 The bass is pretty kickass honestly. It is louder than my devialet mania. Or my minirig 3/4.

Hi, these units seem to be first shown off by the company 'Brane' back in 2023, and they was released this year. I'm not sure if they have sold many yet, or just not getting them in fast enough. At the time of posting this TH-cam video, I was the only real video showing of this product. I have searched high and low for reviews and not found any. Any requests let me know and I will try and record but my room echoes so it's not the most ideal.

@@mark-bellamythanks for your reply, it would be great if you make more video this speaker, People on internet are waiting for more review after this product got mentioned on MKBH studio channel and Unboxterapy

@@mark-bellamycan you compare to JBL Boombox? How does the bass compare to JBL, People’s know that JBL is leading for portable speaker with good bass

Brane X Speaker

​@@vutheareach9219Hey just uploaded another quick video of this product. Hopefully giving an even more clear sound of what this thing can do :)

Hi, 2 speakers will always give you an increase in loudness :) aprox 3DB increase. Stereo Pair also gives you the proper stereo image, which is why I have 2 :) they sound amazing when set up correctly.

The mackies unfortunately where not what I expected. Hence I bought Yamaha equipment instead.

@@mark-bellamy i got a couple of 15bst and i found its just my phone that doesnt have the bass 😂. But they are missing a little bit of power unless i crank it up a bit. I got a jbl sub as well so that should be more than enough for a small patio gathering.

@@puga420 What the mackies do have going for them is the lightness. So easy to move around! And the Bluetooth pairing is amazing and so convient! I have used myne on there own, at a field for back ground music, and being able to set the speakers 60 foot apart from great! And using virtual DJ, I was able to use my microphone as well (With some delay of course) but worked fine. So I have kept them for this reason! A sub makes all the difference though. I have yamaha DZR12's and they have lots of bass, but start to party levels and they bottom out. So I eq them and remove all bass from 100hz down and add 2 x 12" subs dxs12mk2. With some careful setup, the little subs can shake a room! And with the bass removed from the tops, they go stupid loud.

I use a pair of DZR12's now rather than the mackie speakers. There design and wooden cabinet give them lots of advantages over the mackies. They also have great low end but! They can't be pushed loud with the low end enabled. So I cross them over at 80hz with the dxs12 subs allowing for better head room when turned up. For loud discos, the subs are a must for me otherwise I have to dial back the bass too much on the tops and I loose the fullness of the sound. From reviews the DXR speakers are also very good! They have a different tone to the dzr series but that comes down to musical preference :)

@@mark-bellamy Cool! Im going to use them on vocals. Do you know if the Yamaha dxs 12 r way better?

@@reinsbo I wouldn't be able to advice sorry :( the dzr12 sounds amazing for vocals due to the tone of the speaker but nothing beats hearing them in person if you can!

@@mark-bellamy I have heard them👌🏻

@@reinsbo and which did you prefer?

Hi Stian, in this video the Yamahas are just adding there wonderful low end. The mackies are great speakers but seem to lack the bass. They need some subs to fill them out :)

Around 25% ish. This was more just to show the quality of audio these speakers can produce. I will be doing a party soon where I will be running these at 80 to 90% of there capacity so I can get some real footage from a small venue.

Nope. Not allowed in garden. Max volume is about 116db ish. Which gives around 110db in front which is fine for small venues to fill a dance floor in front of them and people at the back of the room can still talk fine

How high % volume on Mackie? And how many people are Mackie speakers able to sound?

@@nixx4430 this would be like 15 to 20% just to show the bottom end that was missing. I bought proper subs anyway rather than using the subs you see here. I have used these, maxed out, for an event in a pub with around 60 people just fine but I used subs.

@@bellamym62 Thank You!

They are a thick cloth with a metal grill behind it.

The Mackies are great speakers. Not the loudest, but still sound awesome!! And the Bluetooth is a great feature. But the Bluetooth is a lot quieter than using cables. I tried to use Bluetooth at a gig, but it didn't work out, was half the volume as the cable. Still they are a great choice. And super light to move about!

@@mark-bellamy if you get the none bluetooth ones it may be better but if you drive them correct they'd get very loud man

@@JGilly-cp1tk I drive them from a mixer desk into a DB Rack? Can't remember what I use haha but they top out around 116db, which in front on the dance floor is around 110db which is perfect tbf. But people further back said it was too quiet lol

@@bellamym62 I'm not sure what to suggest once I finally order em due to financial issues il have a look what's your complete setup please it sounds great

Hey! Glad to hear this video has helped you make a decision. You won't be disappointed with these speakers. They pack a good punch, and apart from staying crystal clear, they have such a nice tone! Easy on the ears, like your B&W headphones so your audience won't end up with ear fatigue lol. Would love to hear about your setup when you get them! So keep me posted!!

@@mark-bellamy Thanks Mark, I'm super excited to get them, interestingly the covers are only £61 and they have a nice rain cover included, whereas the other speakers I was looking at are around £80,, so additional value. Just thought I would throw that in, along with 7 year warranty which is more than anyone else.

@@DjMarkyBatch how much did you end up paying? When I bought these they was £900ish each and did not come with any case. I also bought 2 dxs12mkii subs. I looked at bigger subs but I couldnt move them lol good point. For anyone buying these, first thing I did was activate the 7 year warranty!!!! And it's also transferable if you sell them.

@@bellamym62 I paid £1380 for the pair, no covers included.

@@DjMarkyBatch that's a great deal on these speakers!!! I bought my pair in 2020 just before lock down started. So not been able to try them out in a venue yet.

Nope, no lights.

@@mark-bellamy Oh wow! I wonder how much Yamaha saved by not including a LED light? I guess I'll look for a good deal on the DSR line. Thanks for the info!

@@mark-bellamy Thanks for replying!

Hi Halalisa, from my experience, no speaker on its own is ever going to produce music at 139db. The horn has the potential to go to very high spl but that would require using eq to remove all the bass and mids. These speakers play at around 110db with a nice bass to them, but getting to higher volumes I use EQ to remove some bass from the tops and use subs under them. Again the yamaha dxs12 mkii subs say they will do 134db, but they would be in a very specific sweet spot playing only a specific tone. Depending on your requirements, generally a few speakers are required and good placement of the speakers. I like my sound to be super clear and full and using my DZR12 and DXS12 subs, I average around 110db just in front of them while maintaining a great sound and not causing anyone permanent hearing loss. RCF HDM45..never heard them so would be unable to comment, but the Yamaha has such a nice voicing, 80s music sounds perfect through them and vocals are super clean. They also have a reduced high output, but that makes them super easy on the ears unlike some speakers that cause ear ache after half an hour. Anymore info, please let me know. Cheers Mark

@@bellamym62 thanks for your reply . how would you compare the DZR15 to RCF art745mk4 or the new RCF hdm45a as a stand alone system, without subs. right now im confused. someone is willing to sell me 2X vrx 932laps. I already have 4 Yamaha DSR112 and 4 RCF subs .

@@halalisasibisi44 I've only heard the RCF Art745 speaker against the DZR and the DZR sounded loads cleaner for me. I've not heard the newer RCF. The VTX range allow for a flown array and am sure they will get a lot louder than your normal pro consumer speakers like Yamaha. As a stand alone system, the DZR series was great for a small room in a pub. But I've always used subs to get the extra punch. Sorry I can't help any further, but hopfully someone will have more experience with all these speakers. Each speaker will have its own sound and depends on your hearing and taste :) For me, you can't beat the sound of the DZR range!

it will depend on your conditions. how many people, what music, inside / outside. In my opinion 2x 12inch tops and one sub is a very flexible setup.

@@neurofanaticyt157 its a light and portable system! Makes it easy to throw in a small car and away I go and still plenty of sound. That's the only reason I went with the 12s. If I had the space and the strength lol I would be using double 18 cabs without a doubt.
