- Sound comparison test between Bose and Fender PA system.
Test 1: Play backing track thru both systems
Test 2: Acoustic guitar & vocal on both systems
To me Fender's sound is like more real, in a way is more like a PA system; BOSE's sound is more like a high-end home speaker. BOSE of course is more powerful in term of the loudness but Fender is almost half of the price. Anyway all I did is provide you the "sound" coming out of those two PAs, you can draw your own conclusion!! - เพลง

Thanks for taking the time for this demo, I mainly wanted to hear the Fender system and I liked what I heard. This equipment is all new to me so I really appreciate what you've provided.
I am glad you find it useful.
I love both systems :) I loved your singing and playing of "Maggie May".
nice comparison. I have a Bose Compact and was looking at the Fender Passport systems.
Thank you. Nice singing and playing.
I use the Bose L1 Compact it is fantastic price difference is worth it for the size and the spread, i used it with a large salsa event and it carried perfectly and the sound is so defined. best thing i have bought. ps thanks for taking the time to make this video. nice demo
Good Demo! I'm liking the fender system. To me, I think it sounder better. I've heard issues with tower systems being tricky on the voicing. 👍
Amazing!!!! Hate to say this it but the Fender sounded so much better. I would have loved to hear you using the Bose l1 model s
I think the bose is good for Dj's, and party music with deep bass. And the fender is good for bands and overall use for speakers. It sounds more even, plus he's using the conference with 150W. If he used either the 300W or the 800W fender passport, it would've made a lot of difference. In my opinion.
Wow, I liked the Fender better. I never thought I would say that. It sounds just more full, complete. Nice.
I love Maggie May sung with the accent. Awesome.
The Bose sounds better, especially when played live with vocal and guitar. The Bose has better build quality and more compact to move and setup. Thanks for the demo.
Nice job. Well done.
Also, I've use the Bose at assemblies in front of a crowd of about 200 people and I only had the system at 12 o'clock, (about 50% or at 5 out of 10) and it was loud enough.
I dj'ed a wedding last year that also had a couple of guitar players with some backing tracks there to jam. They had a Fender Passport system (not sure which model) and I brought my Bose L1 Model II w/ the B2 module. It was an outdoor gig and being confident in my setup I allowed them to setup their system in the ideal location for sound, while my Bose L1 sat quite a ways behind all their stuff. They had trouble with getting the sound out to the audience without it getting too harsh and had to point the speakers at different angles and mess with the eq and all this other stuff. Prolly took about an hour to get their setup going. Needless to say even though it was behind everything and not in an ideal situation for sound the Bose blew everyone away. It filled the entire area outside with clear lively sound but was pleasant enough to not interfere with conversations. It was nice to have a system that was easy to setup and because I had confidence in my sound I was able to relax and enjoy the wedding
L1 Model II w/ B2 module is much more powerful than the L1 Compact system which might explain why you have no trouble getting the sound out. Not sure which Fender Passport system the other guys are using, the one in this video is 150 and I believe if you use it in a open area like out door wedding, yes you will have trouble getting the sound out but if you use 500, you maybe ok.
Good job! Thanks for sharing. I'll go for Bose.
Great choice!!
they both sound excellent
Thankx for the effort :)
Thank you, Lotoqui. Thanks for doing the demo. Outstanding job!
What was title of the music being played at the start of the video?
The best video Bose L1...
Top top top
I have used both systems and could find no difference in the sound quality. In fact I found the Passport easier to set up and break down. I'd rather pay for two Passport systems for less than the price of a single Bose system.
I've had both, amps, mixer and rupture inducing speakers. I now have a Bose. Would I go back to the old stuff ? No chance
Bose sounds like mostly lows and highs, with heavily rolled off mids, which is to be expected from a bass module paired with a bunch of tiny woofers. This is the common Bose sound signature for their speakers; tuned to excite the ears at the cost of natural/flat sound.Fender sounds more even.
Once he plugged his guitar in, the Bose sounded better by far.
Ok, on fender you can tell from its sound that its coming from two channel because of the wider soundstage. In bose however its a bit narrower but it will surprise you to know that an equally big sound is coming out of that single unit, both units sounds very good btw
The fender sounds better in my opinion the bose just sounds condensed or lacking in low mid. Also a fun fact for Bose fans the fender passport pd150 and pd250 speakers were designed by BOSE for fender. so in reality your listening to 2 bose systems.
wow nice fats ... bose is better he was only comparing 1 speaker against two speakers ....
THANKS BRO! IM GONNA GET THE FENDER...
Jack Ropes Bose sounds much smoother.
Fender Passport 150 4:30
Bose l1 Compact 5:58
Don't thank...
If anyone else has actually used both of these systems in a live setting, I'm sure they would prefer the Bose. I've run an open mic with a Fender Passport 150 and it CAN NOT compete with the Bose L1 Compact. The sound projects 180 degrees and throws a balanced sound all the way across a venue. I decided to buy a Bose system and I have played over 1,000 live performances with it, as it is my main source of income $$$ :) . If you're serious about live performance, it would be best to save up for the Bose. If you're just getting started, the Passport will satisfy your needs until you can save up for something of higher quality. You really get what you pay for in this situation, but you have to hear it for yourself instead of through the microphone on this video. These PA systems are for LIVE sound, not to be used for recordings, necessarily.
I know this is an old review but it is very informative, thank you. I’ve seen some reviews that slate the Bose L1 when used through certain mixers. What mixer do you use ?
@@micktmusic i have never used a separate mixer for my solo work, as the Bose is "pre-mixed" for acoustic and vocals. I think I used a cheap Behringer mixer for a few open mic nights for multiple people. Bose has their own, but at $500, oouf!
Ben Aaron Thanks for the reply 👋🏻
In this comparison the Fender system sounded the best . I have 2 Bose Li model 2 systems, each has 2 subs, and I have never heard anything close to their sound .
The Fender has it
honestly I couldn't make out his lyrics on the Fender and lyrics and guitar a lot clearer and natural on the Bose.
For the people saying the Fender sounds better, it could be because of the Volume difference.
If the Bose was turned up more you would hear better clarity.
Both sound good. I think the Bose sound more "natural"
A qué te refieres con más naturales?
A qué te refieres con más naturales?
Can they be used for drums and bass guitar together.. For live gig?
Drum ok but not bass.
keep in mind that bose L1 compact is just mono not stereo system.
could you pls try to compare the JBL EON ONE vs. Bose L1 and Fender vs. Lucas nano 300 or JBL EON 208P. hope to see these match up.
An fair, efficient & intelligent review, great job Iotoqui! The Bose works well if home Stereo system play back was what you had in mind, but for the piratical musician's use, I think the Fender (Yamaha make an excellent system as well) is a singer & guitar player's best choice.
Not sure about the Fender (though they probably have it too) but for sure, Yamaha's 600i system has a 'sub woofer' jack that allows you to add a floor monitor to the mix that allows you to dedicate the low end to that sub woofer so only the high & mids go to the Left & Right speakers giving you that full sound if this full bassy sound is so desired.
I prefer the Fender the clarity is better, the Bose sounds boomy and muffled
not only does the Bose sound MUCH better, but it's ONE unit that sets up in a minute or less. Sure, it's an expensive speaker, BUT it's better than looking at speaker tripods and cables dangling everywhere. I have a compact and LOVE it!
I think the Bose sounds pretty muddy and shitty compared to the Fender PA.
Klynx22 You have to be way fuckin tone deaf!
Jeff Richards I love bose, but the fender does sound bettter
@@CyberneticArgumentCreator But he made no attempt to eq the Bose for a similar balance. That means the test was a waste of time.
Listen to this with headphones. Bose bass wins and i hear trebles too. I liked the passport too nice clarity in the mids but it just does not have as wide a frequency range.
The big difference is that The Bose is a line array system which disperses the sound more evenly which means the sound carries a lot further than traditional systems like the Passport. I have 2 L1 Compacts and I do agree that they are a bit overpriced, but they sound great, they're easy to set up and extremely portable. Plus, you don't need additional monitors with The Bose system. If you're performing live music you'll need at least one monitor with the passport. If money is an issue I'd go with The Fender Passport, but The Bose is a much better system in my opinion.
bose is missing Midbass, needs an additional sub set to lower hz for the kick that its missing
$400 vs $1000... I appreciate the comparison you made. In this video I do prefer the sound of fender but the bose sounds livelier and the fender sound lovelier. I wish someone can make a video comparison of fender passport venue and bose l1 too
And this is like a beats by Dre and audio technica headphone comparison
would this be good also for watching movies? thanks
+Uri Tumo No the Bose L1 would not be good for movies. The L1 line array speaker is designed for covering an area 180 degrees with sound. With a home theater system you want separation between 5.1 channels for the surround sound effect. The L1 was designed for Live performances.
Hi thank you so much for your reply
+Uri Tumo I have used it during movies. It is not designed for it, but is sounded fantastic. We run a music business... so I would suggest purchasing it for a reason other than movies (more justified for business purposes), but to keep in mind that it is an incredible sound system that would also sound amazing for simple tasks such as movies.
Boss L1 all the way...no doubt.
High end sounded better on Fender than on Bose; low end sounded better on Bose than on Fender.
That could be solved with a small sub on the Fender
@@bryankeller3492 It could be solved by changing the eq on the Bose, i.e., turn the bass down a little. He didn't have them balanced to get more or less the same sound. When doing sound test comparisons of this sort it is best to try to get each system to replicate the same balance. Otherwise it's like farting in the wind. I'm a long time fan of Fender, and also a long time fan of Bose's technology. And I tried them both out at the store. After listening back and forth for a good long time, I bought the Bose.
Is it the Fender passport 150 or Fender Passport 500?
150
The Fender sounded better to me and the price is much less. The Bose is a great system and much easier to set up and manage. So I guess they both have their advantages!
10:00 0 clock is about 40%
L1 the best!
I tried Bose and have also heard other people use them live they sound shrill and boomy but not detailed at the same time especially if you stand near them, with little mid frequencies and although they fill a space they don't project that well you can't hear them that well at the back of a large room , I also wonder if those small speakers are more likely to blow but thats my opinion. It could be improved with a seperate larger mid frequency speaker as it really lacks in the mid frequency area. And why are Bose so secretive about the RMS and SPL ratings.
Actually the fall off in db's over distance is far more severe from traditional PA's like the Fender, i.e., if you set both systems to the same volume on stage the traditional PA will sound far weaker at the back of the room. That's a tested fact.
@@jefffeldstein Over the years I have used loads of PA systems including Bose L1 and have heard several times from an audience point of view the Bose system and in my experience Bose does not push the sound out & has no mids despite the sales talk hype, it doesn't cut it (emperors clothing springs to mind) and that's a fact. Get a decent 12" active speaker and they will totally blow the Bose system out the water add a sub & the Bose will sound like a toy in comparison. That also explains why very few professional people use them
Not smart to remove the column while it's on and playing
i sink dis is a great review
🤣😅
Ric Rey. Was that just one Bose L1 for 200 people?
One Bose L1 is probably good for 100 to 150, I think 200 if you use it in a small enclose room
Boss no 1
There are a few key points that this video does not deal with first, the Bose is easier to set up and covers more area. The Fender has dead areas you truly need to be in the room or he would need to shoot the video from various angles. Trust me people in the back of the room will receive the same sound and clarity with the Bose the passport wont provide that coverage. Second, the Bose truly avoids feedback which is big especially if you play out and your a solo act its difficult to make adjustments on the fly when your speakers are 6 ft away from you. Lastly, the Bose can actually sit behind you and thus act as a monitor as well which for a singer is ideal. If you put the passport speakers behind you welcome to feedback. I appreciate the video but its just not setting the scene correctly.
Bose sounds fuller...coming from around you..not focused right at you like the Fender, But the Fender is 50-60% less....So if budget is a big Deal the Fender will be great...But bulky and taks up a lot of room with the tri-pods ..Bose wins out if money isn't a problem or you have space limitations..
I hear too much distortion in your sub. I think I need to fine tune your board .
Definitely bose
Bose I heard the Bose l1 compact best sound to the person that said it was shitty and muddy go get your ears check
No highs, no lows, must be Bose. haha
HAHAHAHAHAHHA I say this to people all the time and no one gets it... A leftover from my "Good Guys" days I guess.
Oh, you forgot the sky high price tag!🤣
I knew the great BOSE era, the 802, the made in the USA, really fabulous and legendary. Here it breathes, it stinks of made in china. Research done, BOSE does not have a factory in China, it is all under contract and much too expensive, really too expensive compared to the cost of labor in China, excessive exploitation. In addition sound side ... it is not JBL (the brand of musicians for more than 50 years) brand at the origin of this bass cabinet + column configuration, a concept copied by everyone lacking creativity. The JBL EON ONE / ONE PRO is the benchmark. All the components of very high quality are manufactured by JBL including exceptional speakers which allow a perfect power handling during very long hours. Parameters very often forgotten in the test (at JBL 100h full volume "torture test" formidable dangerous... for the transducers)
Passport sounded 'noisy' and out of 'focus'.
Well to me its better Bose
bose
Eq sounds crap on the Bose, radio sounding.
Monsieur Biard à moins la Bosse du commerce..oups...
U
Please. There is no comparison. That fender sounds like crap.
