One thing I want to say after weeks of testing. Since this is a 3rd party EQ you will get 3rd party problems. You cannot embed the EQ into the speaker,distortion,Risk of breaking your speaker if you turn off DVC, modulation to further specify the vocals will go down every time bass is produced and depending on what type of speaker you use it determines the severity of modulation. I also a high pitch ringing noise will appear if you tune JBL speakers in the highs .S if o you don't fell like dealing with this the JBL Boombox 2 is your best bet as far as sound quality. Here's part 1 if you haven't seen it th-cam.com/video/KUtyBAYgtag/w-d-xo.html
I was waiting for someone to finally emphasize the EQ for these speaker reviews! and finally we have u man! a Great Video! I knew it, out of the box JBL is great because they adjusted the EQs already to sound great and will mess up the quality if u touch the eq, and for Sony out of the box it is straight out flat, but EQ will definitely enhance the Quality! This Video is 🔥 🤘🏼
Appreciate bro💯 Both Speakers has gotten updates so the Boombox 2 has its own EQ in the JBL App, And the Sony gotten a pretty big volume upgrade so I don't even use poweramp any more as I realized overtime JBL'S really don't act well. I would hear a random sound come from them. The Sony I heard still can benefit from Dolby Atmos EQ. I plan on putting them up against each other again in the future.
@@TheAscendedTechNinja that would be nice man, Sony's Dolby Atmos EQ on Xperia plus the Sony Music Center App EQ. My setup for my XG300 is Bass 2 Mid 8 Treb 5 and almost the same setting on the EQ of my Xperia's. I would love to hear the difference against the JBL's own EQ too. I'm not gonna lie JBL is very powerful man, for Sony if enhanced, it's so Good for my taste.
@@hansnapoco23 Cool I have the S23 Ultra for about 3 weeks now and I also want to test the XG300 soon. Also as you go up in my videos I have a Sony review with the xg500,xp510,xp700 and Boombox 2. Also I threw in Sony party connect which means all three of the sonys are playing together for a little bit at maximum volume in that video😁
what have you improved everything at the sony? could you answer in more detail? You raised the treble and overall the poweramp controller for more decibels for the individual frequencies. correct ?
@@TheAscendedTechNinja good result for poweramp, even surprising for me. not yet so bass-heavy, you could get even more bass with dolby atmos, but bro you got the maximum out of sony. Respect at this point, they even sound the same in terms of height.. unbelievable 🤯
@@TheAscendedTechNinja I don't care, you're welcome to do it. I always support you as you are the only neutral TH-camr. From the beginning I didn't tell any nonsense, no fantasies, just the truth. Thank you for listening to me.
The Boombox 2 sounds way more open and clear whilst producing a more convincing bass line that goes way deeper. The JBL wins hands down. The Sony just sounds boxy
I don't believe that but against the bb2 from jbl he does a great job and overall a prefer the sony. It is really the Sony SRS-XG500? Normally sounds muffled a lot your box is way better. You doing magic hehe
@@TheAscendedTechNinja The high price of jbl is still exaggerated and honestly only because of indoors with Maximum volume it's still a shame because XG 500 Is stronger everywhere else muhaha
How much of an impact on battery life does the poweramp eq settings have on the XG500? Since it makes the XG500 louder than the Boombox 2 it surely must be draining more power to do it.
@@TheAscendedTechNinja oh thanks for replying fast. Does that mean you can make the speaker louder through the sony music center equalizer? If so would you mind sharing your settings?
Can I connect a connect+ and partyboost speakers together. Let’s say, the charge 5 and charge 4. Or extreme 2 and flip 5. Also if I can connect 2 of them, can I possibly connect all 4 of them I just listed all together. If you reply to this comment it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
I always reply to good comments 😁 But sadly no you cannot pair JBL partyboost to JBL connect Plus speakers together while playing in sync with or without Samsung Dual audio. If you have A Samsung phone that supports Dual Audio you can pair a single connect plus speaker to a JBL partyboost speaker😄 Here's a link to a video explaining it in more detail th-cam.com/video/z3cHJoPx2dQ/w-d-xo.html
@@TheAscendedTechNinja yeah that is the only thing about jbl that I dislike because of the new advancing ways of Bluetooth. I wish they all just had the same or could do the same and connect together. It really limits the things you can do with them. Still going to buy more tho lol. I hope in the future they make the go or clip compatible with partyboost or connect plus. That would be nice with the waterproof charge 5 so highs and lows. Your the best reviewer 👍
Thanks bro💯 and I also wanted to mention in my testing JBL Partyboost does work a lot better I'm able to get better range and a smoother connection but it does suck at least they kept it the same for the next generation Flip 6 Charge 6 Pulse 5 Xtreme 4 and the Boombox 3. But the Boombox 3 and Pulse 5 are coming out in the summer and I plan to review them. I'm uploading the soundcore motion boom full review comparing it to the JBL Xtreme 3 and 2 soon if I don't run into any other issues 😅
Sony better as the jbl at outdoors because more bass at total of low frequencies+loudness with poweramP for 60% volume i think sony indoor for true bassheads and 100% JBL for bit more sharb highs and little more deep bass
I plan on making a comparison between the 3 because they have received updates to make em sound a bit better. But what I told you earlier about the Boombox 3 put that know in this video about the XG-500 and Boombox 2. th-cam.com/video/KUtyBAYgtag/w-d-xo.html
Why boombox 2 rip? I don't think it lost at all, they are closely matched tbh, but the boombox 2 still seems to have deeper bass, the drivers just move more.
@@evaristocorripio5434 ya always come with the deeper bass but the SRS-XG5000 can do it just as well for small children it's great when the passive membranes dance more but here the overall picture counts and Sony has won it, especially outside with the stronger bass.
Jbl is a garbage product that does not deserve an iota of money. A person with a real musical ear chooses Sony. Jbl always has an exaggerated artificial sound signature. Bass is delayed and loud.
What are you on about? JBL usually has better specs and at least bothers to try and pull off a flat response on their speakers, much better than the muffled crap that Sony sells on their bt line.
Someone says "you agree that sony can stand up to the new boombox 3?" My answer is. I completely disagree:) because of that giant subwoofer that they put in the center of the boombox 3. The boombox 3 blow out the XG500, even the XP500 out of the corner. Because of that subwoofer 😂
Even you use eq/music center app, even you plugged in it, even you turned on the megabass. But still you kinda sucks. Sony will cry if you compare it to the boombox 3 lol. JBL boombox 3, IT IS NOW USING 3 WAY SETUP MEN.
I made a community post showing the actual speakers 🤯 but the Boombox 3 woffers appears to be the exact same size as the Xtreme 3 drivers. Unless that sub can play some mids I think the sound stage is going to be worse 😕
Is it me or the JBL sound way more clearer then the Sony? The Sony was alright it’s just sound like it was more focused on the beat instead of the voice.But the JBL had both the voice sound clear and the beat was blending in with the song unlike the Sony was
You are wrong because of your dirty ears.Sony has more clear and natural sound.Jbl has dirty and aggressive upper frequencies, vocals are weak and lack body. Bass is prone to distortion. Sony has a more balanced and natural sound signature
Now my jbl boombox2 comes with a EQ app and I can tell my boombox2 sound better then the sony xg500.l . Let's put this the way sony xg 500 lost the competition with jbl and to me the jbl boombox2 distory the sony XG 500 handsdown.

You can order it on Walmart for 147.77 besides that nope the price is most likely to go up due to gas prices ☹️
pls 3rd rematch with the better firmware
Most likely but I still need to test more to see if it is worth doing so

Even with Dolby Sony can't match the deep bass from the Boombox 2 mid and upper bass Sony wins
both play identical Signature lol
My Boombox 2 EQ is increased mids and mid bass
The JBL is louder and it sounds better and it pronounces low bass way better. I have both of them so I’m telling u the truth
Without poweramp you're right and it still does have sharper highs and more deep bass but this is the rematch remember

Has an eq on app????
