That was a great video. It's impressive how much you get into detailing all the strengths and weaknesses of the three speakers. A truly comprehensive overview that could help anyone decide which one to buy. They are all three cool speakers. Just depends on which features or strengths appeal most to you, or which one subjectively appeals to you
That's good to hear, just took the plunge on the xg 500 and as long as I can dick around with eq i think it could be the best of the three. Plus multiple usb for powerbank charging is the cherry on top

I returned mine because it’s wasn’t loud enough for a party speaker and I was disappointed so i got a boombox 2 and compared it and it was louder and I ended up keeping it
@@Javier03Li thats literal bullshit, since the boombox 2 is 80 watts and the hyperboom is 229 WATTS, there is no literal fucking way the boombox 2 is louder than the hyperboom.
@@Javier03Li I remember when I got the Sony GTK XB60, I thought it wasn't loud enough. Then I got the Volume Maximizer app. That increased the volume and then it got pretty loud when I was using bluetooth. Annoying to set up and figure out though. Maybe you need that app for the Hyperboom on bluetooth. Or it could just sound louder with the auxiliary without using the app. With my XB60 on auxiliary mode, it gets loud to the point you can't hear people talk normally.
Hyperboom is the better party speaker, hands down. Physically wider soundstage by default based on how the speakers are situated--sound is 270 degrees-ish which is better for parties, not just coming from one direction--gets extremely loud with an AWESOME amount of bass, and has the ability to have two devices connected at the same time and easily switch between them with a single button press (it has dedicated buttons for each bluetooth device, which is perfect for switching between different people's phones seamlessly and quickly)... It's sound signature is also PERFECT for parties, I've played EDM, hip hop, trap, reggae, and rock with this mostly and they ALL sound perfect in a party setting. You also get the rare option of an optical port, which I've used in a pinch to connect to TV's to show music videos during parties while using the speaker, to my portable projector/ps4 for games, and to my own TV when my actual soundbar died (while i looked for another one--4 months with it as my soundbar and it worked PERFECT, I returned a $200 Sony soundbar and a family member returned a $400 Bose Soundbar after hearing what this sounded like for the price, I had to get a $650 soundbar to have it make sense). And it's also still somewhat splashproof like the others. If you don't care about entertaining as much and want better sub-bass and more accurate sound with better treble, then the JBL is better though.... for parties, go with the Hyperboom, you won't regret it.
Absolutely the hyperboom is better for parties. I have a megaboom 3 as well as a hyperboom. Another buddy has a hyperboom and a couple megaboom (1 and 2 IIRC) and another buddy has a megaboom 2. Link them all together, you'll really enjoy it. Not only is the user interface better, but linking these together is seriously impressive sound.
@@tomjahn6896 When I got my hyperboom, I tested it with my megaboom 3 and 2 boom 3's and holy crap my ears have never been happier. I was foolish about a week ago though and left my hyperboom at a party so I've been waiting to get that back :P
Partybox 100 is best by far, same with maybe the Sony XP500 (basically Sony equivalent to Partybox) and Probably Partybox 110 but I have heard these speakers sound phenomenal, and plus you can daisychain them together

Tengo la hyperboom y la verdad es muy buena, si es para la interperie es buenísima opción la recomiendo, pero para ser sinceros no sé si sea mejor que la JBL o Sony nunca las he escuchado en vivo, solo en vídeos y pues no es lo mismo pero si te puedo decir que la hyperboom es potente con muy buena calidad de sonido Gran Calidad de estructura y para mí entre más le subas al volumen mejor sonido tiene no se distorsiona, y repito para la interperie es muy buena. Los contras que veo en la hyperboom es qué en interiores no se disfruta tanto lo rico que puede sonar la bocina. Se queda un sonido a secas como sin tanta calidad de audio. Para ser sinceros no sé como explicarlo solo se que la eh probado contra la Harman kardon go play y la Harman kardon go play suena mucho mejor que la hyperboom con un volumen del 30 porciento se nota la calidad al 50 porciento ni que decir.

Well in terms of Bass UE has the most Upper bass but it dies off completely at 60HZ Sony has the most mid bass around 60Hz to 50Hz still a new speaker so I gotta see more videos and the Boombox 2 has the most lower bass 50 Hz to 45Hz
Great info! Bass extension is more important than bass loudness imo, getting as close down to 40hz as possible is what you want. I would rather have quieter bass down to 40hz than booming loud bass that cuts off at 60hz.
best sound from the boombox imo, but the hyperboom is good competition. the sony get's nowhere near lmao, sounds pretty bad compared to the boombox and hyperboom
I agree, after the firmware update(0.4.4.0) of the Boombox 2 it has a much more balanced and crisp sound. That really improved the sound experience and quality for me.

@@dread8900 with mega bass on its sounds wayy better.. so i cant understand this. You have to hear it in Reallife because people will Fake this comparison. Trust me
I have boombox 2 for about 9 months now. After watching all the comparisons decided to buy Hyperboom. 30 minutes of indoor tests was enough to understand - in sound quality department the boombox 2 is way ahead hyperboom. BB2 shakes the floor in my room with the deep bass + clear mids and highs, whereas HB sounds like a plastic box with a lot of mid bass. You can’t fix this even with an EQ. I also tested frequency response from 30 to 60 Herz - BB2 is a clear winner. The bass on 45 herz is much louder and more pronounced on BB2. So if the main purpose of the speaker is indoor usage, with the volume not exceeding 80%, I strongly recommend BB2. I didn’t test the HB outdoor or with 100% volume, this is not the way I usually use my speakers. Hyperboom goes back to the seller.
I would definitly argue this between the Hyperboom and Boombox 2. Ive been having both of this speakers for about a year already and the upper bass of the hyperboom is better, but the lower deep bass definitely lacks, and while the boombox 2 upper bass is decent the lower bass is present and better than the hyperboom. In my opinion the Jbl boombox sounds way better because it can reach deeper bass at about 35 hz while the hyperboom reaches about 45 hz so for Rap, EDM, and all type of low bass music i would recommend the Jbl Boombox 2 instead of the Hyperboom the bass of the boombox 2 hits way better than the hyperboom, both are good speakers but in my opinion the boombox 2 sounds way better. Is like a whole concert.
I’ve been building up the jbl party boost family. My speaker needs does not involve outdoor parties but rather indoor set ups. Stand alone I’d probably get the hyper boom. But with multiple speakers surround my living space I think jbl is the way to go. There’s a lot of consensus that placing the hyperboom by a wall or corner amplifies the bass, but I found out that that also works with the jbl speaker family, even with the flip 5. The hyper boom is also known for being louder, however, my indoor set ups (having linked 7-8 speakers together and the reverberation of the walls and tight spaces) means my volume will probably not exceed 50%. This also means I don’t need to worry about distortion or the higher range becoming painful while the lower range is maxed out. The boombox 2 is my choice in this regard. However, not everyone will save up the money in building a family of speakers as I have. As always, it depends on your needs.
Bula from fiji, just bought my jbl boombox 2. I take my bb2 any where I wanna go. It's safe, waterproof, and I'm not afraid of carrying it around. I take it fishing, to the gym, hiking, farming and house partying, I tell you it's worth it. I think I won't be able to move around and have fun with a hyperboom. Hyperboom is for those who spend most of their time indoors. Respect to hyperboom. Both sounds great
I got 2 hyperboom and a megaboom 3 linked up in my room, omg the sound is amazing, the bass and mids from the 2 hyperboom are insane and the megaboom 3 provides nice crisp mids and highs, perfect combination IMO
@@mtjm for mobility, I like to bring them to our summer camp and use them by the fire, or down by the beach and also at home or out by the basketball courts, so basically mobility would be my simplest answer
@@chukob5 ya ur probably right lol but my money is long invested now and I’m good with the sound, indoors I usually just run 1 hyperboom and it’s plenty for normal use. While we’re outside I scatter the 3, only place they’ve sounded terrible was in my car for some reason
i thinking that bcs off that sony dosent use the tweeters on lower volume, bcs ive owhed a 43 and i tested it out at max, the tweeter does kicks in but not fully, but on live i can feel it using it
My biggest problem with the UE is that the handle is not comfortable to hold after like 5 minutes so if you’re going any distance with it you’re better off with the boombox 2

@@alexsantos2604 La verdad si esta mejor y mas me gusta porque se puede usar con linea de audio optico y la puedes utilizar como ( barra de sonido ) yo personalmente puse una repisa arriba de la tele y cuando veo películas en Netflix la prendo y se escuchan súper bien las movies.
he doesn't understand deep resonating bass. he thinks that chest thumping bass (upper bass) is good. upper bass is easy to get in a bt speaker these days. deep bass like 40hz and below is not as easy but the boombox 2 does it far far better then the other two. i used to have a hyperboom but sold it because its 4 and a half inch drivers could not play below 55hz. while my boombox 2 with 4 inch drivers could go below 40hz. sure at max volume the hyperbooms bass has more impact but its just not deep which disappoints me.
@@alexlittig7927 the lower the frequency get down the more we got satisfied .lower frequency are hard to get in battery powered speakers . jbl is the best
I thank sony really need to have that same team tuning their top flagship XM line of headphones to really tune the sound signature of they big party speakers. but I love my sony XB33 Though
Can you do a review on the ANKER SOUNDCORE RAVE and also a comparison to these? It's a more budget friendly option and pretty good although bigger and heavier. Thanks :)
I would recommend you to record your audio outdoor also. Because indoor no one listen at max volumes.. And I would love to here outdoors at max volume.
I have used my hyperboom for a while now and it’s been great, even took it on the plane and no problems, always used Spotify but lately I subscribed to Apple Music to try Dolby and lossless. I don’t know why but my hyperboom sounds better with Apple Music. Can you make a video of this? Haha
Try tidal hifi trial and compare,tidal hifi should give u the best quality,compare side by side with apple music and write something here(i got a bbx 2 ) Didn't bought the hyperboom because no romania availability after a year of release and I was a huge fan of ue(3 megabooms
Love Spotify but they need to hurry it up with their premium higher bitrate already. I have Deezer too and yeah the audio sound so much better. It makes a difference for sure when playing over Bluetooth.
The Ironic thing is that, I am listening to this through a pair of old Panasonic Bookshelf speakers! Although the receiver from Sony, its still ironic in my books!
I find now owning the Hyperboom, I don't really hear the bass as much as I do feel it. It's propped up against my wall and damn does it rattle everything above 65% volume. Excellent review as always!
Good quality video. Thanks for the review. Already bought it and just waiting for it to be delivered today. Decided to get hyped by watching some reviews. 👍
@@munkskyline17 the bass is very crisp and clean. That's the best way I can describe it. It can be placed back towards a wall for a higher deeper level. I only use it for my workouts in my garage gym. Also note that I did not customize EQ. Hope this helped.
Reading the comments and have watched the video. Wanted to say I have a boombox 2, and it sounds great on all fronts. Wonder how the others truly sound, but ain’t got the money for that 😂
Hello, if you had to choose 2 among the 4, what would be your choice between the Partybox 110, EU Hyperboom and the tribet Stormblast, jbl boombox2, please because I am lost. thank you in advance
I'm pretty sure they all have the same break when she responds right except for the UE it actually has 2K higher hz, And if you're going to be spending around $400 for a speaker why are you jumping out on just $100 if it could be better 🤷
I had the same problem in the US. I found it at T Mobile. maybe check out the major cell phone carriers. good luck. ordered mine today and I cant wait to get it and show the family. cheers
I you are reading this get the hyperboom I had it since January and it's the best soundings portable speaker hands down. My co worker got the jbl and it sounds great too but he he agreed the hyperboom is much cleaner sound and punchier bass🔥🔥
At the end of your video at 15:00 I was confused because you mentioned Sony party connect is better because you can connect your smaller devices to larger where the JBL you cannot, but then you said right after “so if you are going to be paring your devices you should go with JBL” where I think after what you said it’s the other way around right? Thanks
i just bought the JBL boombox 2 and sony XG500 and i compare thoese speakers and i can say the boombox 2 have no MIDs and weak bass on low volumes but but it have clear highs that sucks and dissapointed product and not worth that money, the sony XG500 has better bass and better mids but only the highs is not clear as JBL
@@HAIYANE9910 i dont have both speakers any more now i testing much better speakers: bose home 500 and sony srs ra 3000 that speakeras borh are best thay are not party speakers but home speakers for movie and have more cinematic bass than boombox 2 for movies
I feel bad for who bought the Sony speaker. I mean the JBL and the Hyper boom just sound so much better and I think the Sony shouldn't even be in the discussion, its a rip off for its performance. Sony just can't seem to compete with JBL or UE at all. But great video!
Es de tomar en cuenta los códec que estamos acostumbrados a usar en dispositivos Bluetooth. ¿Por qué los dispositivos Sony tienen un sonido más claro y nítido? Por el códec de bluetooth LDAC que permite una reproducción en bluetooth de alta fidelidad, de alta calidad. En cambio JBL con el Boombox 2 solo permite el códec SBC que no es malo pero solo permite hasta 328 kbps, mucho menos que un CD convencional. Pero eso no quiere decir que el sonido del JBL sea malo, NO. Al contrario es potente y eso lo compensa. Mi comentario va hacia las personas que quieren saber porque el sonido es diferente. Es por los códec de audio que utilizan las diferentes bocinas bluetooth, o los códec de audio que permite tu teléfono Android o dispositivo de reproducción.
For sound JBL and Hyperboom have very similar sound but jbl is better because of lower bass. If I had to put a place I would do 1. JBL boombox Gen 2. 2. Hyperboom. 3. Sony xd500.
@@Sportsguy-rl8wj the haters will hate sony ppl who know how to tune their speakers understand about quality i just going to say as i tested it my self plugged in in a Sony Center shop there is no such thing as muffed it really depend what kind of music you listen and how you tune the EQ from the app which makes some diffrents only downfall is that the sony app dont have all the nessery EQ options soo i used my EQ on my phone which gives all type of EQ nessery settings to tune the music even further ,in therms of loudness it is verry loud for indoor more loud from 2x srs-xb43 playing on 100% volume,and i got that boombox only on 55% volume plugged havent cranck it further couse it is too loud for my ears that's why that boombox is made for outdoor listening not indoor :)
I got mine xg500 and i paired it whit 2x srs xb43,the result is oh my sweet baby jesus, and ontop of everything got a nasty 300$ deal for it :) feels good.
Why ate you comparing a speaker that's not really portable? I'm sure you can guess which one I'm talking about. When you're looking for a Bluetooth speaker you can take with you it needs to be portable with a handle or strap someway to carry it..tight? 🤔
completely wrong the custom eq from sony is useless still need some hotfix because it can't really change the sound. You should use a different equalizer and it will immediately sound a lot more present. More highs, more bass. unbeatable
Something about carrying around a box like the hyper boom doesn’t cut it for me... hyperboom just looks like a coffee table speaker. Jbl takes this one.
I bought a JBL Xtreme 2 and wasn’t impressed, so I got the UE Hyperboom and now I’m not sure if I should return the JBL or just throw it in the trash to save the next schmuck!
Design and looks indeed subjective. The UE's rectangular box design looked really ugly, atleast for me. I felt it was too flat for a speaker. Something we had long back. Old is not always gold
Been having an issue with my two JBL boom box 2s linking together after last update. The volume will short out and raise and lower randomly when connected together now. Anyone else experiencing this?
@@The_Animal_Man I have reached out to JBL seeing when they will send a firmware update. They never did it on version 4.3 but as soon as I got 4.4 it started to happen…
i was team xg500 because of the looks but after this video i couldnt help to return and exchange the sony for the ue hyperboom lol (bought both for $200)
I cant figure out Sony they have the knowledge and money and people who can easily make a portable speaker that will blow away any other but it feels like they never change there sound its always flat lacking on the highs ive owned the xb40 xb60 and whilst they were good in person they just lack what others have! Sony need to do it properly!

Ive been having both of this speakers for about a year already and the upper bass of the hyperboom is better, but the lower deep bass definitely lacks, and while the boombox 2 upper bass is decent the lower bass is present and better than the hyperboom. In my opinion the Jbl boombox sounds way better because it can reach deeper bass at about 35 hz while the hyperboom reaches about 45 hz so for Rap, EDM, and all type of low bass music i would recommend the Jbl Boombox 2 instead of the Hyperboom the bass of the boombox 2 hits way better than the hyperboom, both are good speakers but in my opinion the boombox 2 sounds way better. Is like a whole concert.
True but you can turn the bass up using the built in equilizer (pardon if i didnt spell that right) .
@@edwardireson6901 exactly. Sounds like bullshit
@@yatahey699 true but you don't get a performance boost while plugged in meaning the BB2 will get noticeably louder with little more bass
I’ve been building up the jbl party boost family. My speaker needs does not involve outdoor parties but rather indoor set ups.
Stand alone I’d probably get the hyper boom. But with multiple speakers surround my living space I think jbl is the way to go.
There’s a lot of consensus that placing the hyperboom by a wall or corner amplifies the bass, but I found out that that also works with the jbl speaker family, even with the flip 5.
The hyper boom is also known for being louder, however, my indoor set ups (having linked 7-8 speakers together and the reverberation of the walls and tight spaces) means my volume will probably not exceed 50%. This also means I don’t need to worry about distortion or the higher range becoming painful while the lower range is maxed out.
The boombox 2 is my choice in this regard. However, not everyone will save up the money in building a family of speakers as I have.
As always, it depends on your needs.
Hyperboom is the best overall. JBL Boombox 2 is great and if you prefer to listen to hip hop it's better. I have both of these speakers.
Partybox100 best bass
Bula from fiji, just bought my jbl boombox 2. I take my bb2 any where I wanna go. It's safe, waterproof, and I'm not afraid of carrying it around. I take it fishing, to the gym, hiking, farming and house partying, I tell you it's worth it. I think I won't be able to move around and have fun with a hyperboom. Hyperboom is for those who spend most of their time indoors. Respect to hyperboom. Both sounds great
Bula vinaka
I got 2 hyperboom and a megaboom 3 linked up in my room, omg the sound is amazing, the bass and mids from the 2 hyperboom are insane and the megaboom 3 provides nice crisp mids and highs, perfect combination IMO
Honest question. Why spend a G on 3 bluetooth speakers instead of getting actual hifi gear?
@@mtjm for mobility, I like to bring them to our summer camp and use them by the fire, or down by the beach and also at home or out by the basketball courts, so basically mobility would be my simplest answer
@@darius572 1 portable and a proper home speaker would probably be better
@@chukob5 ya ur probably right lol but my money is long invested now and I’m good with the sound, indoors I usually just run 1 hyperboom and it’s plenty for normal use. While we’re outside I scatter the 3, only place they’ve sounded terrible was in my car for some reason
@@darius572 yeah man if it works for you why change anything.. plus not everyone can have really loud speakers in there house or apartment
Sony forget to Connect the wire of tweeters to the Circuit board.
i thinking that bcs off that sony dosent use the tweeters on lower volume, bcs ive owhed a 43 and i tested it out at max, the tweeter does kicks in but not fully, but on live i can feel it using it
@@afiqlagi6163 u are right
😂🤣
@@afiqlagi6163 of course
No the people forget to install the App to improve the sound
Thanks so much for the thorough and detailed review! Appreciate your time
Which of these 3 speakers is the loudest I just want to know
My biggest problem with the UE is that the handle is not comfortable to hold after like 5 minutes so if you’re going any distance with it you’re better off with the boombox 2
If that's the only problem then I'm about to buy one
@@bradleypage1007 it’s a fantastic speaker. I have 2 and I’ve convinced 3 of my friends to buy one and they feel the same. I sold my boombox 2 after a few months
@@brandonschaufele8844 I'm hard-core thinking of the white version. Have you tried it on your tv?
@@bradleypage1007 the white version looks good but if you bring it outdoors it’ll get dirty fast. And it’s ok on the tv with an optical cable. Nothing special but definitely better than tv speakers
Can’t wait for this summer when you get the boombox 3! I’m so excited to see the boombox 3
Aqui escuchando la comparativa desde mi ( HYPERBOOM con Eq personalizado ) y simplemente es la mejor bocina portátil que he escuchado. I LOVE IT 😃👌
Thanks for the Review GYMCADDY
Lo recomiendas bro es mucho mejor qué el boombox y el Sony ?
@@alexsantos2604 La verdad si esta mejor y mas me gusta porque se puede usar con linea de audio optico y la puedes utilizar como ( barra de sonido ) yo personalmente puse una repisa arriba de la tele y cuando veo películas en Netflix la prendo y se escuchan súper bien las movies.
@@Robertito_Juega gracias por la información amigo me servirá de mucha ayuda 🤝
All these videos about boombox 2 has no sense anymore, there is new update, and now this speaker is next level.
Considering buying a Boombox 2 at the moment, what did the update do?
This video makes no sense. Xg 500 dont have mega bass on because the Red Light is Off.
i have the boombox 2 and the bass is crazy in my house so i’m always blown away when he says the bass is alright or lacking🥲
he doesn't understand deep resonating bass. he thinks that chest thumping bass (upper bass) is good. upper bass is easy to get in a bt speaker these days. deep bass like 40hz and below is not as easy but the boombox 2 does it far far better then the other two. i used to have a hyperboom but sold it because its 4 and a half inch drivers could not play below 55hz. while my boombox 2 with 4 inch drivers could go below 40hz. sure at max volume the hyperbooms bass has more impact but its just not deep which disappoints me.
@@alexlittig7927 the lower the frequency get down the more we got satisfied .lower frequency are hard to get in battery powered speakers . jbl is the best
Called paid advertising.....
@@alexlittig7927 onyx studio 6 has better quality bass then any other speaker in this price range
@@orlandotaavale8672 dont forget the 7 came out and is the same but better soundstage and more balanced :D
I've heard both the boombox 2 and the hyperboom in person and to me the hyperboom sounds better.
Yea if the hyperboom was full waterproof, i would buy it over the boombox but bc its not, i have to choose boombox for river trips
I agree the UE Hyperboom sounds better than the Boombox 2 in person
Have you heard the boombox 2 with the new update?
I thank sony really need to have that same team tuning their top flagship XM line of headphones to really tune the sound signature of they big party speakers. but I love my sony XB33 Though
Look to the mega bass button.. no Red light this means no mega bass on. Think about it
Can you do a review on the ANKER SOUNDCORE RAVE and also a comparison to these?
It's a more budget friendly option and pretty good although bigger and heavier.
Thanks :)
I would recommend you to record your audio outdoor also. Because indoor no one listen at max volumes..
And I would love to here outdoors at max volume.
I would choose sony because i prefer bass and batery life...and have xb 33
Your reviews are the best! Keep it goin' 👍
I have used my hyperboom for a while now and it’s been great, even took it on the plane and no problems, always used Spotify but lately I subscribed to Apple Music to try Dolby and lossless. I don’t know why but my hyperboom sounds better with Apple Music. Can you make a video of this? Haha
Try tidal hifi trial and compare,tidal hifi should give u the best quality,compare side by side with apple music and write something here(i got a bbx 2 )
Didn't bought the hyperboom because no romania availability after a year of release and I was a huge fan of ue(3 megabooms
Try Qobuz instead, thank me later.
@@6mariooo235 hifi on a ue speaker and an IPhone without great audio codecs, oh dear...
Love Spotify but they need to hurry it up with their premium higher bitrate already. I have Deezer too and yeah the audio sound so much better. It makes a difference for sure when playing over Bluetooth.
The Ironic thing is that, I am listening to this through a pair of old Panasonic Bookshelf speakers! Although the receiver from Sony, its still ironic in my books!
I find now owning the Hyperboom, I don't really hear the bass as much as I do feel it. It's propped up against my wall and damn does it rattle everything above 65% volume.
Excellent review as always!
You got wf-xm4?
Good quality video. Thanks for the review. Already bought it and just waiting for it to be delivered today. Decided to get hyped by watching some reviews. 👍
What did you get?
@@munkskyline17 hyperboom. I'm really satisfied so far.
@@Manny_C_J how's the bass??
@@munkskyline17 the bass is very crisp and clean. That's the best way I can describe it. It can be placed back towards a wall for a higher deeper level. I only use it for my workouts in my garage gym. Also note that I did not customize EQ. Hope this helped.
Thanks for the great vids, you are a great real pro and I mean it in the best way
hyperboom is the best ive had all and yea nothing beats it
Partybox 100 for half the price
Reading the comments and have watched the video. Wanted to say I have a boombox 2, and it sounds great on all fronts. Wonder how the others truly sound, but ain’t got the money for that 😂
Hello, if you had to choose 2 among the 4, what would be your choice between the Partybox 110, EU Hyperboom and the tribet Stormblast, jbl boombox2, please because I am lost. thank you in advance
I ain't going cap I give this to the JBL it is the winner💯💣💨
It’s also 100$ more than the UE
I got mine for 425 JBL Boombox2.
Yes
I agree
I'm pretty sure they all have the same break when she responds right except for the UE it actually has 2K higher hz, And if you're going to be spending around $400 for a speaker why are you jumping out on just $100 if it could be better 🤷
I wanna get hyperboom as would be used inside but it’s out of stock everywhere in UK. Anyone know why or where I can get one ?
Amazon US
I had the same problem in the US. I found it at T Mobile. maybe check out the major cell phone carriers. good luck. ordered mine today and I cant wait to get it and show the family. cheers
I had that problem, and u just got to wait in the UK, but check every retailer often
video deserves more likes
getting the Jbl this Christmas💯🔥
I own a jbl boombox 2 and I can’t wait to get my hands on the jbl boombox 3
Love your speaker reviews 👍❤

How are this speakers compared to Marshall.
Woburn smokes them all in sound.
@@William_CD ha ha. .
Well said bro.
I will receive it tommorow.
what software version was the JBL Boombox 2 running for this test?
Is the hyperboom a stereo speaker with a separate L/R channels like the JBL and Sony or does it down mix to mono?
Stereo
It's not
Love your reviews. Could you please review the Jabra Evolve2 85’s!?
sony sound muffed, they forgot to add twetters ?😂
Sony is always muffled lmao
Have to increase the highs+ 10
@@evantodd6582 all JBLs have no MIDs compared to sony
@@automoto95 Sony definitely does JBL focuses on lows a Lil more but I would switch to Sony if I really had to they make some good speaker
Damn, bought the awful sounding one, hopefully the EQ will make some difference to that droning mid and non existent treble. Fingers crossed. 😭
How does sony xg500 compare to jbl boombox 2? Which one is louder?
I you are reading this get the hyperboom I had it since January and it's the best soundings portable speaker hands down. My co worker got the jbl and it sounds great too but he he agreed the hyperboom is much cleaner sound and punchier bass🔥🔥
Wrong
I think will be great an a Outdoor sound comparison between them
Nice video👊👌
Love the optical on hyperboom.
That is easily the best speaker comparison video I have ever seen. Thank you
which is more powerful in sound?
At the end of your video at 15:00 I was confused because you mentioned Sony party connect is better because you can connect your smaller devices to larger where the JBL you cannot, but then you said right after “so if you are going to be paring your devices you should go with JBL” where I think after what you said it’s the other way around right? Thanks
Can or have you done a review with the SONY XB43's and the XP500/700 paired. Im on the fence.
hey i have the jbl xtream 3 wanna upgrade to the xg500 worth it?
i just bought the JBL boombox 2 and sony XG500 and i compare thoese speakers and i can say the boombox 2 have no MIDs and weak bass on low volumes but but it have clear highs that sucks and dissapointed product and not worth that money, the sony XG500 has better bass and better mids but only the highs is not clear as JBL
@@HAIYANE9910 i dont have both speakers any more now i testing much better speakers: bose home 500 and sony srs ra 3000 that speakeras borh are best thay are not party speakers but home speakers for movie and have more cinematic bass than boombox 2 for movies
You should try these out using a DAC and AUX instead of BT!
I feel bad for who bought the Sony speaker. I mean the JBL and the Hyper boom just sound so much better and I think the Sony shouldn't even be in the discussion, its a rip off for its performance. Sony just can't seem to compete with JBL or UE at all. But great video!
Es de tomar en cuenta los códec que estamos acostumbrados a usar en dispositivos Bluetooth. ¿Por qué los dispositivos Sony tienen un sonido más claro y nítido? Por el códec de bluetooth LDAC que permite una reproducción en bluetooth de alta fidelidad, de alta calidad. En cambio JBL con el Boombox 2 solo permite el códec SBC que no es malo pero solo permite hasta 328 kbps, mucho menos que un CD convencional. Pero eso no quiere decir que el sonido del JBL sea malo, NO. Al contrario es potente y eso lo compensa. Mi comentario va hacia las personas que quieren saber porque el sonido es diferente. Es por los códec de audio que utilizan las diferentes bocinas bluetooth, o los códec de audio que permite tu teléfono Android o dispositivo de reproducción.
Hola amigo, que códec tiene la hyperboom, me gustaría saber.
I own all three and The Sony struggles in the midrange compared to the others
What is common to all of them is that parasite brick
which is the loudest speaker
Teufel rockster 😂😂
Thx 😊
Where’s the WFXM4s
i think jbl speakers are more superior than the comp.
Not really
Anyone know where to buy a Hyperboom? Can’t find one anywhere.
I have tried to buy the hyperboom but there is no stock....
For sound JBL and Hyperboom have very similar sound but jbl is better because of lower bass. If I had to put a place I would do 1. JBL boombox Gen 2. 2. Hyperboom. 3. Sony xd500.
What about charging speeds? Battery stamina is one thing . Charging speeds is another .
Ue Hyperboom !!!!
I just bought today, team SONY-SRSXG500
Does it sound good?
@@Sportsguy-rl8wj Sr, that's my best 480 dollar investment 👌. The soud is amazing.
@@lopezlebeque nice, lots of people said the sound sucks and I’m getting one so I just wanted to make sure
@@Sportsguy-rl8wj the haters will hate sony ppl who know how to tune their speakers understand about quality i just going to say as i tested it my self plugged in in a Sony Center shop there is no such thing as muffed it really depend what kind of music you listen and how you tune the EQ from the app which makes some diffrents only downfall is that the sony app dont have all the nessery EQ options soo i used my EQ on my phone which gives all type of EQ nessery settings to tune the music even further ,in therms of loudness it is verry loud for indoor more loud from 2x srs-xb43 playing on 100% volume,and i got that boombox only on 55% volume plugged havent cranck it further couse it is too loud for my ears that's why that boombox is made for outdoor listening not indoor :)
I got mine xg500 and i paired it whit 2x srs xb43,the result is oh my sweet baby jesus, and ontop of everything got a nasty 300$ deal for it :) feels good.
Sony number one..👍👍👍
Why ate you comparing a speaker that's not really portable? I'm sure you can guess which one I'm talking about. When you're looking for a Bluetooth speaker you can take with you it needs to be portable with a handle or strap someway to carry it..tight? 🤔
Will playing the hyperboom at full volume wreck it?
No
Sony ❤️❤️
completely wrong the custom eq from sony is useless still need some hotfix because it can't really change the sound. You should use a different equalizer and it will immediately sound a lot more present. More highs, more bass. unbeatable
Something about carrying around a box like the hyper boom doesn’t cut it for me... hyperboom just looks like a coffee table speaker. Jbl takes this one.
I think that’s the point, you can place it anywhere and it doesn’t stand out.
what matters is how it sounds right? may be the best out of the 3 lol
I bought a JBL Xtreme 2 and wasn’t impressed, so I got the UE Hyperboom and now I’m not sure if I should return the JBL or just throw it in the trash to save the next schmuck!
Boombox 2 just hits different
Nice shirt tho 👍😁
Design and looks indeed subjective. The UE's rectangular box design looked really ugly, atleast for me. I felt it was too flat for a speaker. Something we had long back. Old is not always gold
Just look at the passive radiator on the boombox 2 is shaky like crazy 😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😧😧😧😧😧😧😧

i was team xg500 because of the looks but after this video i couldnt help to return and exchange the sony for the ue hyperboom lol (bought both for $200)
How the hell did you buy the hyper boom for $200?
I cant figure out Sony they have the knowledge and money and people who can easily make a portable speaker that will blow away any other but it feels like they never change there sound its always flat lacking on the highs ive owned the xb40 xb60 and whilst they were good in person they just lack what others have! Sony need to do it properly!
If u put them sideways and in a corner it will have more bass.
