puhhh difficult with deep bass I can't hear the supposedly deeper bass of the Harman Studio 7 in the video... either the recording is not suitable for deep bass or sony has flattened the studio because there's more bang here.. 😱
The room has a lot of glass which increases upper bass which the Sony is great at along with mid bass however you should still hear the difference in the frequencies
@@TheAscendedTechNinja But it's a small room and even there the difference isn't really there because I've been listening with my headphones even for indoors Sony is better for me
@@TheAscendedTechNinja for sure all i have seen now was a long video but i stick to it no difference in low bass at all. You even say yourself that you want to do part 2 with Boombox (2) and Sony XGG500 to improve the sound signature for the highs and bass. Then the Onyx would only be a toy against Sony.
You call this a long video 🤣this was short video for me still took 14 hours to edit not including everything else. But the deep bass in person except for the Studio 6 and citation 200 there is no speaker that can match the amount of deep bass from the studio 7 Boombox 2,Xg500 ect
No was not surprising because Sony had to compete against the Onyx Studio 7 with its bad out of the box sound. I even find that the Onyx Studio 7 sounds identical to the jbl boombox 2 and that's why I find both speakers perfect for indoor use and sony for Indoor too bass heavy and outdoor areas stronger as jblb2 and hs7, but only stronger at high volumes with dolby or poweramp to raise the treble and the bass deeper to boost.
Только тот, кто имеет обе эти колонки, согласится с автором. Хорошее видео! SONY- побеждает в верхних басах, громкости, практичности, водонепроницаемости, батарее, подключение микрофона и USB с WAV.

I know this is old . The prices of studio 8 have SKY ROCKETED… it’s hard to find them under the 499$ mrsp .. BUT I found a BNIB , studio 8 on Facebook for 140$ …. You think it’ll be good !? I had a Sony XB43 before but I left it at beach … so want sum better sounding , not necessarily louder . Thoughts !?( my xb43 lasted forever with battery but I always keep it plugged in anyway, also it would NEVER update , so max volume was even)
@hunterbasselite6826 If it's going to be mainly used indoors, then I would go for it. But that is pretty funny about the price being more than the go plus Play 3, which is a much better speaker
@@TheAscendedTechNinja thanks for response ! yeah I have a turtle box for outside (fishing/hunting/crawfish/seafood boils) this would mainly be for like small get togethers/parties inside . My xb43 sounded great , and the battery lasted sooo long whenever I didn’t have it plugged in … but honestly i didn’t see the hype behind the xb43 , for being a “bass” speaker it was veryyyy dissatisfying with bass , but quality was good . Sounded almost identical to my old Beats pill tbh which was 100$ less tho … But thanks ! I think ima scoop it up today , I was reading on a Harmon kardon forum that there was a first gen set of studios 8s vs a built after Dec 2023 studio 8, that’s basically identical just slightly tweeked/revised .. so we’ll see !
@@TheAscendedTechNinja bought it yesterday ended up getting it 120$ BNIB ... Wayyy better than my XB43 , not even a comparison tbh , the bass is much nicer and deeper than my xb43 and JBL charge 5 , and clarity
For young ppl outdoor music blasting wich is better, onyx7 or xb43? Whats the real battery time for those 2? I have xb43 wich is still having some % in the morning (going out nigh and going home morning)
I would get the XB43 but for outdoor use but I wouldn't pick either one. The reason is the XB 43 only plays at max volume for 30 minutes and it automatically decrease the volume and it does this around 5 times then once you reach 20% it will consistently tell you to charge the speaker and the Studio 7 battery is just awful 1 hour 30 minutes at max
@The Ascended Tech Ninja Is it normal that The studio 7 sounds much louder and better with the DC connected? or can it be that the device wasnt fully charged? i mean i would like it to sound the same with and without DC...its kinda big difference to be honest
@@TheAscendedTechNinja yep i saw that later, but damn imagine if it would be as good without the DC plugged in...that would blow away all the bluetooth speakers cause with DC plugged in its so damn good!
