Dude your videos keep getting better and better, great content. I trust your opinion more than anyone else's in this space. Please do more content on stereo pairing theses speakers! It is the future of portable audio
To be quite fair, the A5 was not facing the correct way when your parents were listening (the tweeter, a very directional component) was facing the fireplace. Moreover the A5 is tuned for big open spaces. In a “home” environment it should be room calibrated to perform to spec. Otherwise it’s quite boomy and unbalanced (which is easy to comp, too little boom… not so much) in an open room/outside the “boomyness” is actually a good idea since humans tend to lean into the high and low frequencies. It is quite expensive yes, but also usable as rear, centre, back, left, right etc channel in a home cinema setup. Granted the wood of your example is not great, I’ve seen and touched it quite some times and it has alsways been super smooth (ps the wood is from Denmark) and it has C2C certification for easy repairability instead of becoming garbage when a component breaks. The room comp possible also applies for the Sonos, I don’t know about the rest. Great vid in general, I’ve enjoyed myself! But try the room comp it makes a world of difference.
I think Brane product is definitely in the good direction by bring big speaker sound to small portable speaker market, it beat Devialet in sound and cost. Really hope they can survive and release second generation.
I have 2 Harman Kardon Go Plus Play 3s and still is my favorite sounding speaker to this day, the price was increased recently on the Beoplay A5 which is sad but the Brane X is probably one of the first speakers I plan on getting for next year. Great video, Danny 💯

The way did the comparison test is flawed and cannot be trusted. You ALWAYS need to level match all the speakers within 1 dB with pink noise because the louder speaker almost always sounds better. Also they all need to be setup equally in the same environment (eg. Don’t place one speaker on the floor while others are raised up. Floor placement will boost the base).
hope you can get better binaural mics for recording samples. It might be a good idea to also mention your preferred sound signature so we can gauge better for our tastes :) Good luck!
Have a sonos move 1 which is getting buggy. Bought and returned a few possible replacements. Got the JBL 300 and underwhelmed with the sound , loose and lean but a heavy thud style bass not integrated well. I have an audio pro t3 and even though its far smaller it sound so much better. I wish they did a battery powered larger speaker. May try the Brane next. In the meantime I will put up with the slow response of my Sonos which sounds good not great. Thank you for the video.
I own the Authentic 200 and 300. As well as 2 manias i do use the Authentics more because its more android friendly. Also the Authentics now have a update they allowes you to use Auracast and connect with the nonwifi speaker's they jbl has. The new line up btw
I recently bought the Marshall Stanmore III and Tufton after watching your reviews. Coming from the Marshall speakers, I'm liking the sound of the Brane due to the bass. The other speakers sounded great as well, but at some point there's a diminishing return in terms of the cost to value.
Hey Danny. Greetings from Lithuania. Why don't you never review or even consider Beolit 20 speaker. I think it sounds best for it's size. Better than Bose MAX and Others.
For the price of the Devialet, I'd add an extra hundred bucks and pair up two of the BraneX's like you mentioned. I recently sold the JBL 300 and opted for the 500, much, much better speaker!. I am thinking about the BraneX..or two.
The B&O Beosound A5 sounds really terrible for its self-confident price and the product seems so bad to me. And when you stroke it, you get a B&O splinter on your hand that they send you from China.
Coming from Sonos to Brane it’s honestly an absolute disgrace how bad Sonos software is. Takes me 20-30 min on average to just reset the WiFi to connect. Brane X for a first launch has its quirks but it’s miles better where it actually matters on a day by day basis.
To add in about the Sonos - If you only plan on using WiFi at home and never take it out the house AND do not plan on having 2 moves to stereo pair, you’ll do alright. However, once any of the latter variables come into play it becomes $h!t show
I have the authentics 200 and I regret, bass I so basic and no powerful. And it doesn't support Apple Music, so stupid taking in consideration their Loseless Hi-Res.
Please turn off in TH-cam creator studio the audio dubbing. Iam German. Like to watch you with your real voice in English. But with this KI voice I have to cancel your channel. This is awfull. And not your fault, it's TH-cam.
@@ashyouknow7420 thanks for letting me know, I've disabled it. It'd be OK if it didn't force you to watch it with the dub, but if it's forcing you then it's degrading the content.
@@DannyPops it's forcing to the default language of my account. If I switch to English. Then I have the original voice but my German channels with a English KI voice. This is something that TH-cam do without asking. A lot creator are unhappy with. I think you need to delete the automatically added audios for already existing videos. There some channels to present solutions for creators.

Good job. It's nice to reaffirm that you don't always get what you pay for, and that the cost of something doesn't always correlate with quality.

Could you please recommend a portable speaker that doesn't have delay when using the aux input?
Happy Holidays to you and Mom and Dad Pops.
Thank you, Danny. Been a good year.
Happy Holidays to you NiagraFalls :) Thanks for being here. Hopefully next year is good for you.
Can i ask you ? When do expect realese date of jbl flip 7 does it worth to wait?
Hi Danny! Soundcore Motion X600 Vs tribit Strombox blast Vs Earfun uboom X - which one you suggest to me?

now you should just purchase Bowers&Wilkins and you have the whole package :))
all in all- pity I cant put 10 likes on a video, very nice one
@@michaelpriev4851 hahah another incredibly expensive option! Thanks for your 10 likes, In spirit it is.

For your next video show if older speakers are still worth it.
For example I have the boombox2 and love it ❤
Love your videos keep it up!
I have the Harman Kardon Onyx Studio 7 - wonderful speaker -
You should test the new one
Onyx Studio 9
Hey Danny. Greetings from Lithuania. Why don't you never review or even consider Beolit 20 speaker. I think it sounds best for it's size. Better than Bose MAX and Others.
can you listen to music using Wi-Fi on Sonos without the app?
maaan your parents have good taste in sound quality
2:58 😂 meme material expression
I'm waiting for my sunshoiiyn too 🎶☀😎🤣
I loved hearing your parents' thoughts! Interesting perspective but insightful if you're buying gifts for family
Im still looking for something like a soundbar with wifi, bluetooth and Spatial Audio but is portable and not expensive.
Tried Audio Pro T3+ ?
How do these speakers compare to jbl authentics 500
Hi Danny, what about the LANEY F-67 Lionheart ?
For the price of the Devialet, I'd add an extra hundred bucks and pair up two of the BraneX's like you mentioned. I recently sold the JBL 300 and opted for the 500, much, much better speaker!. I am thinking about the BraneX..or two.
The B&O Beosound A5 sounds really terrible for its self-confident price and the product seems so bad to me. And when you stroke it, you get a B&O splinter on your hand that they send you from China.
Danny i cant understand why you did not review Sony XG-300 ? Happy Holidays to you and your family
Max vs a5 which sounds better overall
I own both and A5 for the sound quality but bose soundlink max better value for money. In conclusion buy a stereo pair of bose soundlink max
😮 🔋 5:16 another meme material 😂 lol
Liked the parent collab haha 👍
I had no idea you lived in Tennessee. You give me Colorado, California, Pacific Northwest vibes ☺️
I lived in them all! Military Life.
@ How’d you end up in Tennessee? …and do you think Tenn will be your forever home?
Harman Kardon Aura 4 ?

2 Anker Soundcore Boom 2 Plus.
How so that Marshall is not in the competition?
Good video
Brane X is awesome.
I have jbl authentics 500, worth every penny
harman kardon, unrivalled
Brane X would be my pick 😅
Only if they were actually available in our country.
My cheapest airplay speaker is the $79 onn large WiFi speaker from Walmart and my higher priced WiFi speaker is the hk citation 200.
Not a single Marshall Speaker here, all speakers on this list will get eaten by a Marshall Speaker
I think your mom wanna say bose not boat😂
Review vifa chatmini
bro your videos are awesome but you become so wierd while testing tem?why is that???😂😂😂😂
🤔, So, you've tested them all?? 😂🤣 Not even close!

@machefix, wait so it's dubbing over my actual voice?? I had no idea.
I turned it off, would you let me know if you still see a dubbed version when you can?
Yeah it was really creepy for me too when it happened with me for the first time on a different channel.
@@ashyouknow7420 thanks for letting me know, I've disabled it. It'd be OK if it didn't force you to watch it with the dub, but if it's forcing you then it's degrading the content.

Danny are u married ?
still in the single boys club :(
@@DannyPops oh that’s rough :(
@@chlocifer2715 we can all be single together! Sad people club.
And not a single mention about Apple's Airplay 2 - which is the best way to enjoy multiple wi-fi speakers. Useless.
I think we'd have to dedicate a whole video to wifi interfaces, which constantly change and evolve.
