I prefer Onyx Studio 8. The issue with too bassy speakers is that if the sound is not loud you cannot appreciate it. With Onyx, even with 30%, you hear everything at its best.
I believe that in order to evaluate the sound quality, the comparison should be done at the same volume. They have completely different power. If you just set 80% on both devices, boombox sounds significantly louder. Please add this kind of comparison to your tests
yeah, BB3 is louder , the bass is louder too, but for what ypu are paying for the OS8 you are getting much more refined audio, and overall clearer sounds , a loud bass is not better than a refined and clear bass.
Heavy bass is a must but doesnt mean its good overall, but with the price gap, i rather go 2 HKOS8 (stereo paired) instead of single BB3, for bigger sound stage and of course much heavy bass with this setup 😂
To me the Onyx is more refined, very composed and compressed sounds. The bb3 has kind of loud noise around it. And i prefer composed and compressed sounds more. So the onyx ix my pick.
O que percebi é que a onyx 8 tem um som mais refinado enquanto a bb3 tem um som muito bom e forte, mas temos que lembrar que a bb3 tem 130W vs 50W da OS8, sendo assim é óbvio que a bb3 ficará mais alto tendo em vista que a cada vez que dobramos a potência ganhamos +3db de pressão sonora, mas como qualidade e potencia são propósitos diferentes resumo que: quem deseja qualidade de estúdio vá de OS8 e quem presa pelo volume vá de bb3. Abraço e parabéns pelo vídeo!
hello sir.. I have the same speaker Studio 8, and i am facing a problem, when i play music on it BT or AUX mode, after a few minutes it hangs with a buzzing sound and automatically powers off.i already rest it by the help of your video on youtube but problem is still their.can you please suggest me a solution to solve the problem..
It's difficult to tell but the Onyx 8 seems to have richer more balanced sound, where as the boombox 3 is a lot clearer and greater seperation, but costs more than double the price of teh Onyx 8
I'm more of a bass head so I'll take the bb3 any day of the week.... But the onyx 8 does have great sounding highes and mids.... But the bb3 still wins in the end... Good job JBL😎💯
The tech specs are when the speakers are played on battery mode or AC mode? I've been with HK Onxy Studio speakers up to their 6 but, I would go with JBL for their higher output range and better portable/carry design. I would attach neck strap to JBL handlebar and wear it when on my Segway Ninebot S. HK Onxy Studio 8 design is horrible for carrying or wearing portability. JBL speaker battery mode always surpasses HK Onxy Studio battery mode by twice as much play time at full volume. I would usually have portable speaker connected to portable power tool battery power inverter anyway to get the best full range sound out of them over their battery mode and just replace drained power tool battery with a charged one to keep speaker going on the move and away from power outlets.
Hey bro, i have a question for you. I'm thinking of buying hk onyx 8 for my car. Do you think it's enough for a sedan car? Loudness and power is enough? Thank you, like your videos...
Yes! You'll love the sound a lot better in a close space when it comes to quality and balance. I cannot judge your tolerance to loudness bcoz cars usually have bigger speakers.. so loudness maybe a question.
I have the OS8 and that thing sounds so loud even at 50% also has to do with the quality input. its so clear and refined, my Roomate has the JBL and yeah its bass is def punchier but sounds terrible with anything else.
Since the price of bb3 equates almost to 2 os8, maybe you can do comparison between 1 bb3 vs 2 os8(link together) in the near future. Just a suggestion but i think more viewers are also gona like the idea. =)
I just pulled the trigger on the Onyx 6 brand new right from Harmon Kardon for $100 bucks! I heard one at a mechanic shop that's about 80'X40'. I didnt even know what it was until I was told I could turn it down, because it was too loud! When I went to do to turn it down, and saw what I now know is an Onyx 6, I about crapped my pants! I could buy a 7 for $150 but why? The bad is I had already bought a new Sony receiver, Neumi BS5 speakers and a Elac 1010 subwoofer for my garage, when all I needed is an Onyx 6 on sale! I got good prices on the equipment through Amazon, but still spent $500 and needed to install wall mounts, run wires and find a place for a subwoofer. We also bought two JBL Charge 5's last week! So many choices out there. Would love to experience the Boombox 3, but the Onyx was a cheaper solution.

Tryed them alive. There's no big difference in this video. But in reality BB3 is times better. I don't like the design of both of them. And Onyx is far behind in terms of functionality. But, in sound, (soundstage, loudness)... everything! Everything is much worse on Onyx. I wanted to save money... but, not this time.
I ratter bought a pair (x2) HK Onyx 8 to play on dual mode (no stereo availability) and i found them totally pleasant to listen , even having 2 of these HK it is cheaper than on JBL and sounds better by far!
Please sample real music with actual musical instruments! This is electronic computer generated sounds. Perhaps you like it, but it is not showcasing what the speakers can do! Try getting into classic rock! All original analog recordings; many remastered to high res lossless. Bass is supposed to be musical, with a range if notes, just like a actual lead guitar. Live music bass is not 'thump, thump, thump'! Try going to a small venue and hear some live music to educate your ears and palette!
Harman слишком высоко настроен,из за этого он кажется обладает более студийным звуком,но если слушать композиции где преобладают низкие частоты такие колонки начинают просто выделять вокал и композиция звучит так как будто там баса и никогда небыло и так её и записали. Проще говоря он чаще врёт!!!
Ok video, but really ruined by turning the BB3 off axis for the vast majority of the music playback. I assume you did this to show the movement of (one of) the passive radiator, but nobody needs to see that. You didn't turn the OS8 around to show the movement of its passive radiator on the back, becuase it doesn't matter. It's about the sound, and both of these are directional speakers, which mean they need to face the listener (or microphone) for optimal sound. Overall not bad, but I wish you had not turned the BB3, it would have been a MUCH better comparison.
I agree A.J. before i thought, its looks so flat and boring while both facing front while playing the speakers.. i thought i will look more interesting & realistic when twisted a little bit so they can see its really playing.. well i receive a little comments about that maybe its time to change something. Thanks for your thoughts!👍
I prefer Onyx Studio 8. The issue with too bassy speakers is that if the sound is not loud you cannot appreciate it. With Onyx, even with 30%, you hear everything at its best.

Its hard to find these kinds of proper sound comparisons on yt.. keep it up 👌🔥
Oh my!❤ I appreciate that🙏 Thank you!
Not if you look hard 😁
Love the bass from both..BB3 sound fuller and heavier. But Onyx 8 is more refined and detailed
50 rms vs 130 rms. The fact your comparing them I lean to Onyx.
This comparison is what i've been waiting for👏 finally thank you!! Still can't decide tho.. the BB3 is so expensive. Almost double the $$
thw power is triple, 50w vs 180w
@@raivons the question, this is continues power or RMS? Or it's just an distortion lever or peak power Max power
BB3 is worth to its price my comrade! That is the best portable bluetooth speaker in the world!🤪
One is ugly though
Wym double the price ? The studio 8 is 500$ lol
love the clarity of Harmon kardon
DSP at work
This was such a good review!!!! I guess I’ll buy the Boombox 3
Thank you🙏
I want to get the BB3, but its design is making me lean towards the Onyx 8

Абсолютно верно
80% on both devices: was it not 80% volume for each of them!?
Now its clear to me that I should go for the H Kardon since detailed sound is all I want🤏😎
yeah, BB3 is louder , the bass is louder too, but for what ypu are paying for the OS8 you are getting much more refined audio, and overall clearer sounds , a loud bass is not better than a refined and clear bass.
Yes is all about it. The people don’t understand, the quality of the sound matter. Is not all about loud.
Onyx 8 unplugged only delivers 30w, it was done with it plugged in delivering 50w rms and where does it increase the bass?
Jbl gets a powerboost while plugged in also.
the onyx 8 still very nice for the price. clean sound. bb3 still even cleaner and fuller sound but very very expensive.
Great comparison, but rather subjective.. Kindly use a decibel meter in your next comparison so we get actual info on the speakers
Heavy bass is a must but doesnt mean its good overall, but with the price gap, i rather go 2 HKOS8 (stereo paired) instead of single BB3, for bigger sound stage and of course much heavy bass with this setup 😂
Totally agree
Than have 2 bb3 as well... Is exactly the same thing.
@@inSaNe_44 its not, I mentioned price gap is a thing there 1 BB3 price almost hit 2 unit of OS8 if you go 2 BB3 then you in different server
JBL anytime, anywhere and everyday
I choose OS8 ever, quality sound its unique also looks beautiful
Hey kulas tech show can you compare the harman kardon onyx studio 9 with boombox 3
Will do that once i get the Onyx Studio 9
To me the Onyx is more refined, very composed and compressed sounds. The bb3 has kind of loud noise around it. And i prefer composed and compressed sounds more. So the onyx ix my pick.
Please compare Boombox 3 and Harman Kardon Go Play
Will do soon..

Feeling the BB3 bass from my phone🔥🔥🔥
Gewinner ist einwandfrei Jbl boombox 3.
Jbl sounds more clear/open and has more soundstage, while the HK spreads the sound out in a circle and sounds balanced.
JBL my choice. A handy portable unit with low/deep bass and more life like mids with extended treble without any decay.
I just feel like Harman has a greater sound compare to it's size,harman is small compare bb3.
Can any speaker outright beat the JBL?
Да. любая проф акустика😂
Great detailed comparison .. please next time try with more songs please
Tolong bandingkan dengan citation 200 vs jbl ini
I believe if we compare 2 Onyx with 1 Boombox Onyx will certainly win
In my ears it seems that speakers are at a different level and it's hard to compare the quality of the sound.Other than that good comparison.
If u wanna be louder. Chise the jbl.. if u wnna listening of softly music u can use the harman.....
Its different all of 2 brand's...
Harman kardon owns clarity but overall the JBL wins.

Which is better? I want to buy one let me know thanks

I think JBL is the winner. Not just bc of the bass, it's also clear imo
Simple: I'll buy 2 HKs which is roughly the amount for 1 BB3.
