Enter our huge giveaway here to win a Prime Go & Sounboks speaker: bit.ly/ourbiggestgiveaway
Done👌👌😍
When are you mentioning the winner of this giveaway?
I currently have one Yorkville Sound excursion mini- 60 watt (115 db) and am looking to do outdoor bridge/abandoned building parties...Would getting another yorkville be enough or would I need something more powerful like the soundbok?
I now have one. It's downright a beast. Plus the bass update/patch makes it even better . Putting it on my lowrider bike so I can have the loudest lowrider around that also bangs concrete
Nice one! Price is a bit high but the specs are great. Do I need it? Probably not. Do I want it? Definitely yes!
I bought one and it broke down in less than a month it's too loud and I think they need 2 work out the bugs still.
Then buy it
@@Realtwod how did it break?
@@Realtwod good thing you fell under the 100 day warranty they off. So no worries at all! You didn’t lose!
You get what you pay for if you want huawei or Samsung or Apple,
Do you want foton or mahindra or nissan or Audi,
Do you want credit union or barclays or JP morgan & chase or HSBS?
I just received mine. It’s freaking awesome!! It’s very loud ! I highly recommend anyone who wants a portable , battery wireless Bluetooth speaker . This is the one!! Thanks soundboks! I’m gonna piss off my neighbors!😈Jk!😁
🤣🤣🤣
As a DJ you can get more from a single 12" powered speaker, and 18" powered sub for about the same money. I'd have to hear this unit in person to make an informed decision, but the portability, and the ability to link multiple units together has me intrigued.
but portability, soundbok is perfect for on the go when you dont have a car or other transportation yk
I like Bass
12" / what's the watts
@@catherinedavis349 1,000 rms all day, 1,500-2,000 peak.
@@catherinedavis349 Mackie Thump and Head Rush are really good budget speakers.
I was literally just thinking of how awesome it would be paired with Denon Prime Go and then I saw their giveaway.
Ok.. so i now have two units and tested all the functions. The sound is pretty good from the battery power speakers and its sturdy, good bass (not deep though). Can say its one of the best out there now. However in regards to skaa tech, its a gimmick for djs, as it creates a noticeable delay when you activate host&join modes. not between the speakers, but between your mixer’s other outputs and these speakers. Its still great function when only used for playing music, but for live performance, so do not even hope... the unit still provides audio out so you can daisy chain them physically so use that route if you are going to buy multiple of them for djing.
Wow that’s exactly what was running through my mind. Thanks
I have a pair of Samson XP106's and while I love the portability, they're only useful as monitors for myself since they peak really easily at louder volumes. This Soundboks sounds like exactly what I need to retain my mostly portable setup.
Crossfader in depth reviews are the best🔥
I agree, but this was a sales talk
If they work like you say i would definitely get 1. They are advertised as everything a traveling djay would want. I will be on the lookout for more reviews from other djs. This might make it to my must have list
I use this for my sets, friend of mine and I daisy chain them together and I xlr in with my tables and boom, full dj setup anywhere
Great review! 128 dB is indeed massive for a battery powered speaker!
Very loud!
The loudest
getting crossfader ad on crossfader video
gr8
i had once an after party on campsite and someone had this speaker
there was about 200-300 people in front of this speaker, it was wild ahah
sounds crazyyyy ! was one speaker enough for a group of 200 ?
I love it.....Very Impressive for a battery powered blue-tooth speaker...... got to get me one!!!
Soundboks need to make a brand new Soundboks 4 with a bigger battery with two 15 inch speaker, bigger is always better.
Haven’t even seen the review. But this thing looks like a BEAST 💪🏾 🔥
I'm thinking of this for karaoke and busking. How does it stack up with the Bose S1 for sound reproduction and volume? Does it have separate controls for my music tracks and microphone?? Thanks!
I'd say teenagers on the London Underground take the cake for loudest music Bluetooth speakers
WE ARE CROSSFADER!!
but we are not a crossfader
Now i want to see you do a video walking along the Street with the Speaker on your back and the Denon Prime Go harnessed to your front dropping some tunes :)
Jump to 12:10 if you wanna skip the rambling and hear the 30 seconds of sound test
Thank you for this........sounds like shit 💀
@@sux2suk prob the choice of song! I thought it sounded incredible
I have one belive me this speaker shake all my house best party speaker ever buy it and no regrets trust me
Thinking about all the trouble id get into with this. Pop up djs sets in the strangest places
We are thinking along the same lines haha!
Soundboks + DenonDj Prime Go = Best stress reliever🎵🎵🎵
Agreed!
have 5 now v impressed important tho to give good signal to host ie via xlr or the skaa akio pro
Excellent portability considering the awesome power 😃👍🏾
Thats the amazing part, the battery power
Just bought my second one lol this awesome
Ima buy this and play hardbass at max volume
Did i see right? The volume goes up to 11?
Awesome!!!
Yep, ELEVEN! How cool!
@@Crossfader whatt😮
As a truck driver who drives a truck with low/medium quality speakers who is also unable to upgrade the speakers since it's not my truck should i buy this? I need my bass to be loud so that people will know whos there to load/unload!
No but for real, should i buy this? i want high quality sound and a fairly intense bass that makes you not just hear the music but physically feel it, it's important since you don't always sleep well and a high quality bass keeps you awake and alert and is just plain awesome, is there a drawback to it being a portable sound system rather than built in? I mean the battery is removable so it's perfect for just leaving in the truck over night.
Ps, can you stand on it without breaking it?
Yes my friend has it you can jump off of it without it breaking it’s made for hardcore parties.
It’s a really powerful speaker and it will definitely fit your needs it’s just large maybe look at it’s dimensions to if u can fit is somewhere nice u don’t want this speaker flying around breaking everything
It’s awesome
That's depends... are you planning on having dance parties when you're loading and unloading? If so, then yes buy it. If not, then it might be overkill LOL!!!
I need four of these so I can play our outdoor events without having to run a generator. Would like to see more video of this thing in action with an actual multi speaker setup and demo.
That's huge must be the biggest portable speaker 👍❤️
It's a big boy indeed! It's the sound it produces that is most impressive though!
@@Crossfader yeah👍
What a great video. THANKS
I love the spinal tap reference on speakers, it means the makers have a GSOH.
Very true! It's quite satisfying turning the speaker up and then clicking one notch further to 11!
I want to get these and pair them with a dedicated subwoofer. I feel like these new speakers are the future
Can these be connected to power to avoid the battery dying on you?
This would be so amazing to win!!!! 🙌🏻
Bought one 1 minute after seen this video ✌🏻
Amazing, enjoy!
Would love to see what kind of drivers they are using. I use pro speakers and at the price of the soundbok, I wonder if they keep up with some of the cheaper DJ speakers? Some half the price like the Yamaha dbr15. What magic are they using?
When the editor wanted to reach his fx quota in the speaker comparison and distracts the viewer
id love thos speaker but i dont actually have that type of money so i hope i have a chance with the give away and good luck to everyone who enter the give away
Seems very interesting, ?'s
Why Bluetooth 5.0 and not 5.1, Can you play it loud while plugged into a power source?
Wow nice speaker 😍
It really is! Make sure you're entering the competition for a chance to win one!
How did you conect the UE BOOM with cables ? 😮
Very interesting. Got to be better then lugging a 15” Thump around with a petrol Generator. Top review as always guys. Keep up the quality 👍🏼
Would you know how it would stand up with a thump and an 240v li battery costing £200 on Amazon ?
Can l connect mick and guitar at sametime?
For the price, go buy the QSC K12.2 with 130 db or EV EKX15P. Both out gun this speaker and both have a track record for incredible sound and performance, and you can get a pair of either in the boot of your car. Real DJs don’t run on batteries, why pay for one when you can get a class D amp in your enclosure.
I need one❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Make sure you enter the competition and best of luck!
SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY!!!!
I wouldn't say 70 watts amp is much, that is pretty low for how the 2 woofers look. I would say get a normal PA system and that would easily out perform that thing. I myself like subs that can handle 20 hz minimum, soundboks should make a model that has a sub, mid woofer and tweeter. It wil make it much more powerfull and the bass is much more punchy
I Would love to win the soundboks
Do they have a stripped down version for random people who just want a loud awesome battery speaker?
I wanna see someone djing in the snow with this
We know just the event to make this happen!
These are designed and manufactured in Denmark
40 or 14 hrs mate?
I wanted to get one of these for a long time. But they are just a bit to expensive for me :/ winning one would really make my day!
Mackie Thump Go vs soundboks your Opinion Which is better.🇬🇧🇪🇺🇨🇦🇺🇸🏴💯
Hi,
Some things you got wrong about the specs.
But otherwise good review👍
I'm curious about the sound at 50%??? Is it flat how is the bass?
I have a feeling were going to see a LOT of these at the camping festival renegades next year i.e. Dirtybird Campout, Lost Lands, and EDC
And if i win the giveaway you can guarantee ill be bringing it to Dirtybird Campout 2021!
love your vids
Thank you :)
@@Crossfader btw i am also the son of Futurebound in the duo matrix and futurebound
Thanks for the video! How would you recommend connecting these from RCA outputs of a controller? Do I need a separate mixer to convert the signal to XLR?
Hi! Did you find the answer? I'd like to know too
@@P.Gillett pretty sure I was able to connect them with an RCA to 1/4" converter cable.
Can you plug it directly to the wall/grid power?
Yes
Song ID please 👀👀 12:14
How does it do against the big dimondbox?
soundboks need to make a soundboks 4 with a 15 inch speaker
Can you play 2 at the same time?
Cant believe I am going to have to return my 2 soundboks gen 3 units. Truly staggered to discover there is no means of adjusting down a connected microphone to Ch1 or Ch2 when the main volume is set to 11. I have never in my life known of any speaker that did not allow you to control the volume of a mic!! .. considering the p[revious version of the app has a 0 to 100% volume slider, now replaced with an EQ that has zero effect on sound.
Gain bro 🤦🏽♂️ in the app mic gain 🤦🏽♂️ it’s at the top
@@ccarter8020 As the saying goes .. if it were that easy I would have done it.... Gain makes no difference. The mic will either be too loud or too low. The answer has been to use a USb powered mixer (supplied by the company who sold me the unit) - as they agree that issues exists... I now have 2 x Gen3 units and a GO .. still using an external USB powered mixer though!
@@SteelasophicalSteelBand are you still using the original firmware? Because ever since firmware 1.4.4 the mic input mode is +20db and damn loud not +10 which was a known issue on previous firmware versions. XLR mixer note still seems quiet. But you already found a working solution no need to fiddle with it now
How is the sound quality compared to pro speakers? At $1000 it better be as good or even better than mid range pro speaker quality eg Yamaha DXR's. Why i ask is i was planning to buy a DXR for home gig and a the battery-powered JBL Partybox 100 for off-site party gigs, all of which cost under $1000.
Hard to comment on the DXR's as we haven't used a set. However the Soundboks would do both these roles rather than having to buy two separate set ups. There are other reviews on the Soundboks that compare it directly to the Partybox so we'd recommend watching those on TH-cam before deciding which one to buy! Hope this helps :)
@@Crossfader Excellent, thanks
tested a jbl 1000 in a music store and have to say the bass is great and loud but its highs are not so great because of the to much lows 🤔 i wonder how these would sound
soundboks gets killed by Electrovoice zlx 15" at 400 $
@@djsonofibiza watch the video of oluv gadgets partybox 1000 vs new soundboks
, partybox sounds much better with deeper bass but is not really portable
looks like the 1/4" combi-jacks say for instrument/mic in product manual, so were you connecting your DJ controller to those or the 1/8" mini stereo input?
The diamond box xl2 is apparently better, with deeper louder bass and overall better sounding... But it costs a lot more.
For 1700 I would hope so!
so it only plays on 108db? not 126
Can u please send me a link for a Type-C Multi-Port Adapter with USB-C Pass-Through, 4K HDMI, USB 3.0 for my Microsoft surface go tablet?
How does it compare to a Maui 5 in power and sound quality?
Does anyone know where soundboks is made?? It's so frustrating as NO one can answer this and there is no information online!
Song @12:11?
How does karaoke work with this speaker
You compared this to bluetooth speaker and basic studio monitors but how does it compare to a, say, a pair of full range P.A. speakers that DJs are more likely to use. There was also nothing about how it performs technically and sonically. This sounds like a great bluetooth speaker for parties but I doubt, based on this review, that it would be great for a proper show. Gimmicky and loud at best.
If you just take one pa speaker for the same price, the pa speaker will be way better
It’s on par with pro PA gear, it has two 10 inch Eminence designed woofers and a horn loaded compression driver tweeter, same as any powered PA.
@@radioraccoon5922 It is not. 126db for 1000€ speaker is not gret at al. This is what a 300€ speaker makes.
It is not at all on the same lavel as a pro pa speaker
@@ggk7605 You can't compare a battery powered speaker to a plug-in PA system. And at least if you do factor in the cost of the speaker amp, inverter, and mega-sized electric car battery. Keeping that in mind you actually get a lot for your money.
it's equivalent to a 300$
PA without battery
where can you get these in canada?
thank
It used to be. But now is the JBL 310 and is IPx4 AND 400 CHEAPER THAN soundboks
reviews like this frustrate me. I want specs and a demo not for you to say the same thing I can read on the manual.
Wow looks unbelievable. I hope I win. #No.1fan#WeAreCrossfader🔥🔥🔥❤️❤️❤️
Best of luck!!
Crossfader 🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞
Great review Definitely can’t wait to try it out. 👌
Thank you, you'll be impressed!
I want one!! 😭
if you have two are you able to link them with the XLR cables or does it have to have both XLRs going to the one speaker?
You have the choice of either connecting both the XLR's to one speaker and wirelessly pairing them. Or you could plug a XLR into each speaker separately. Thirdly you connect XLR's to one speaker and use a 3.5mm aux cable to daisy chain the speakers together!
is there a chance you would somehow be able to message with me and help answer a couple questions for me? i’m a beginner dj and i need a bit of help helping decide what i should be purchasing:)
Had me until you compared it to little speakers., not other bigger sound. Also didn't show guitar connection playing.
If I get 2 of the new soundboks plus the bass+ would it shake the car? 2 in the back seat💯 🤯😁
it would destroy your ears, but will not shake the car very much because this speaker has no deep bass (100hz peak)
yo waht is the song at 12:15????
There actually low powered compared to high quality speakers such as RCF, FBT and Yamaha, ok for bar gigs maybe, but thats about it.
This is a speaker for a house party or maybee for some private outdoot partys, but nothing for a gig
@@ggk7605 I daisy chain a few of them set them up and for a "small" party in a forrest or a certain bunker it is perfect. Agreed when I have power I would def use other speakers
How would I connect from a basic mixing desk like a denon 202. Phono?
RCA to 3.5mm auxiliary cable would do the job :)
Anyone compared this to the alto pro wireless?? That shii is the loudest Bluetooth speaker I’ve experienced
id like to see one that can power a controller and a laptop as well for a few hours saves me carrying a fair few power banks
Dj_Webby_ look into Jackery power stations , that’s what I did. Should provide a solution for that.
The Prime GO has it's own battery which is why we like pairing the two. Also most smaller controllers are powered by the Laptop :)
@@Crossfader thats amazing i hope i win the comp as times are hard right now
Should do a sound blok vs Jbl Party box
There is a video out there
partybox sounds better
Iv only watched 4mins so far. All iv heard is that its battery powered. But not a single thing to inform me about the battery or the capacity of it in contast to the type of music and how loud it is. Ill comment again after watching thru. Maybe he'll divulge.
I love it! But I would not sacrifice quality for portability. I would get the Diamondboxx XL2. Yes it’s more expensive but quality > quantity.
how do i find the speaker pole?
It’s on the soundboks website buddy
I've been producing music for 2 years, and I just started DJing with a 60$ controller from the local store, and I only have some shitty JBL Tune 110 earbuds which cost 8$, it would be insane for me to win this giveaway :')
the box cant reach 126 db, it goes up to 118db. and the teufel ROCKSTER goes up to 121.
is the bass deep?
Unfortunately no. See Uluv YT channel for comprehensive reviews.
