Hi, thanks for your videos, helps a lot. But IMHO if you just speak a little slower, people will unsterstand better what you say, for non english native speakers, like me. Anyway, thanks a lot!
Very nice review. Thank you! I'm getting mine this week. Question which equalizer setting is best for watching movies? Extra bass, 3d audio or the normal one?
Nice review :) I was thinking of buying this Tronsmart 40W speaker but I am in between this and ANKER Soundcore Boost 20W. Could u tell me which one of this 2 have better bass? I don't listen to my music loud - but I like to hear the bass even when the volume is low. By looking at the "Watt" I guess Trosnmart is more powerfull than ANKER? 40W vs 20W. Correct me if I am wrong. Thank You.
IIRC the Tronsmart is louder and has decent bass (but it's a while since I listened to them side by side!). If you don't need the extra volume I'd probably go for the Anker.
@@TheTechnologyMan I bought Anker and Tronsmart and I like it both but compare the two I think Tronsmart have better bass but nevertheless I like it both :)
Foreword: your review is amazing, subbed to you buddy! Wearing M50x headphones I've been studying audio mastering and sound production for most of my life and have I'd like to think a good ear, but everything is subjective.....so feel free to disagree with me. Everyone has a different taste in audio preference, some prefer more bass, some prefer more warm, some prefer more clear, some brighter, to me choosing speakers is a personal choice, it's what YOU like personally but there are some guidance notes I can put here. Tronsmart Force 40W - I hear more sides on the at first - hi hats (upper frequencies) sound like they have phase issues? punchy bass, not as much below 80/100hz though but that makes sense, the speakers are not 12" and we have to be realistic. TRIBIT - I hear more definition in the MID rather than the SIDE (M/S Ratio) (seems less wide stereo image and I actually prefer on the 2nd M/S positioning as it sounds more realistic but keep in mind the reference track you are using I don't know how the original track was mastered. 2nd speaker also sounds like a slight raised 500hz to 800hz roughly? lower mids, more depth on the vox. ANKER - has a serious droppage of high frequencies, they are just less harsh, everyone has different hearing preferences so some may consider this warmer. JBL - the first thing you`ll notice is the saw-wave synth has a lot more noise happening, the EQ curve seems changed dramatically from the previous example, I'd need to run the audio file through audio scopes activating peak hold I have here to show a visual representation of the dramatic change.
Thank you Gavin McCloy! And thanks for the detailed analysis. As you say it's difficult with one track, uploaded to TH-cam - but at least you can make up your own mind ...
I noticed you mentioned STEREO-PAIRING - does that mean this speaker is NOT stereo? it has two speakers? I take it one is for bass and other for mid/highs? or are they both just for omni-directional sound?
The speaker has two 20W full range drivers and passive radiators for bass. The dual drivers would still give stereo with one speaker but very little spatial separation. They are forward facing directional speakers.
Nice review and leaning on getting this speaker. How is the reliability of this speakers after a year? Are the battery and speakers sound quality still good?
This is a pretty decent option and the Anker Soundcore Motion Boom might be worth considering too if it's in your price range - have a review of it on the channel.
Thank you thank you thank you for this excellent review! They truly help me decide what to buy. I am debating on this speaker along with a few others in mind. Would you pick this or the Soundcore Motion+? Or even a third option under the $150 price tag?
Thanks! Tough one - the Motion+ is more expensive here in the UK at least - but is a more refined speaker. I'll also be reviewing the LG PL5 soon which may be another option. But for the price the Force is a great speaker!
Thank you for rewiew, but can you tell me if also at your Tronsmart speaker do this: when battery coming to end begin blink red light and then 2 -3 times make beep sounds and then speaker turn off ?
These are very different speakers - the Force has a far bigger sound with way more bass. And still has pretty good clarity in the mids. The Soundcore would only really be the "best" if you want a very small speaker with excellent battery life - or it was a lot cheaper.
Didn't do a run time test at full volume the whole way through (it's pretty loud). But got 8-10 hours usage with fair amount of time at higher volumes ...
Sir, thanks for your hard work. I am sold with your recommendation on Tronsmart speakers. Msybi know which one is the best between mega pro 40 watts and force ? I just want a decent treble and crispy sound. Thanks..
I'm just reviewing the Tribit StormBox Micro which does pair - smaller and less powerful than the MaxSound Plus but still sounds good in my tests so far ...
Requesting your help: I'm going nuts trying to select a budget bluetooth speaker. I want it for my laptop & TV (Firestick bluetooth) in a small room. Audio quality is the highest requirement. This is not required, but ability to pair for stereo is of interest. Coronavirus hitting hard, budget low: Around $60 Which of all you've reviewed would you recommend?
Which speaker would you recommend best for TV/Film audio? Want to improve sound from built in 10W projector speaker. So voice clarity very important. Thanks.
@@TheTechnologyMan I can get the Motion+ for the same price as the JBL flip4 currently. On paper the motion+ has more watts however after watching your review on the motion+ makes me unsure which one would be better, Flip4 or motion+?
I was interested in this device but it seems that movie watching from pc, with bluetooth linking is not right choice if not with 3.5mm jack connected (lack of apt-x). Which bluetooth device is suitable for movies and music from pc?
@@TheTechnologyMan for a movie/serie audio sync is essential. If I link it on 3.5mm cable, does the audio sync normally? I assume it's just the bluetooth connection which gives the trouble. Right?? I'll have a look also at these LG later on
I'm very sensitive to lip sync - to the point that I haven't really found a Bluetooth speaker that is flawless - it's just some are better than others. Yes if you don't want any issues use a cabled connection.
Hi, I got the Tronsmart speaker and was wondering, on the box it said voice assistant, was wondering what does that suppose to mean and also would like to know if there’s a mic on it, if so whereabouts cos I tired on phone call with it and apparently my mic sounds muffled or less clear to the other end of the call
The voice assistant isn't built in - but it's accessed through your phone from the mic on the speaker. The mic quality isn't as good as the one on your phone.
I’d recommend the Tronsmart Element Force 40W. I have two of them that I can use either individually or as a pair together reproducing a rich, left channel/right channel true stereo sound. I also have an Anker Soundcore 2 which is an excellent speaker in its own right but nowhere near as good as the Tronsmart. Both of the Tronsmart speakers, when operating in stereo mode, compare favourably with the Sonos Symphonisk that I have installed in another room in the house. At about half the price of the Soundcore Boost you won’t go wrong with the Tronsmart, albeit they do feel a little bulky.
Really depends what you want - the Force if you want the most powerful speaker, the Tribit for the best clarity or the Anker for it's smarter look and USB charging ...
Hi. Great reviews. I have a flip 4 great sound better than charge 3 or 4 even. Sadly I use the aux port and it is a known problem that when quiet passages play or there is a few seconds of silence the sound cuts out and you miss the beginning when sound is back even if the device volume is at 100%. Really annoying to a lot of people. Do you have suggestions for another speaker that sounds as good as the flip4? I thought about sony but they have that annoying message at 20% remaining battery that keeps repeating.
Thanks Jazzy! I've not tried the Flip 5 yet but that may be an option - you will lose a couple of features of the Flip 4 though. Out of the speakers I've tested recently, the Anker Soundcore Motion+ is probably the best speaker that's close in price - but it is a bit bigger.
@@TheTechnologyMan hi! Thanks for replying. The flip 5 has no aux input. Can't stream with Bluetooth and sound quality is always better when wired anyways. The flip 3 doesn't have that faulty feature kind of a power saving thing but isn't available anymore. Pretty sure everything that came out from jbl since flip 4 has that annoying thing. Seen people complain about it. Hundreds of people have posted about it. There is a utube video just on that. Everytime I watch a comparison of flip 4 I always find it sounds better less muddled. It is really unfortunate.
Flip 4 is 16W and Force is 40W. According to these numbers the force equals 2.5 times the power of JBL (40/100) Is there really so much difference between these two? wich would be the real numbers? 60/100, 70/100, 80/100... I want to buy JBL for the quality sound but I'm concerned that it was so poor in power compared with Trosmart
@@TheTechnologyMan Thanks my friend! Would you say Force blow Flip 4 out out the water or there aren't so much difference really. These both could compete at a similar categorie? Because there are many opinions that give the Tronsmart 20 or 30w of real power and the comparisson would be more fair...
No it's much closer than that. JBL's always a have bright sound that a lot of people like. And their build quality is good. I would probably make the decision on features you want and price ...
The Force is a bit louder and has USB-C charging which I like. It's a bit bigger than the Boost though. Hopefully this video and its sound test will help with your decision?
well, I didn't think it would be so difficult! here in Australia, I can but Tronsmart Force for $80 AUD from Amazon, However, Tribit Max sound plus is $203 ! more than double the plus! and Anker MotionPlus is not even available, so my question would be, do I buy the Tronsmart? or wait for the Anker to become available with the risk of a higher price? or is Tribit worth the price tag here? or any other options I should consider?
The Motion+ is is a different class - here in the UK at least - it's double the price and much bigger. The Tribit is not worth 2.5 times the price! I would give the Tronsmart a try - and just buy from Amazon or similar where you can return it if you're not happy with it? The Anker Soundcore Boost would be another option?
@@TheTechnologyMan Thanks for that! just to clarify, if I could get my hands on the Anker Motion+, not considering the price difference, is it considerably recommended than Tribit/Tronsmart speaker? I know price is an important factor, but if you were to rank these speakers 1 to 5 how would you place them?
@@TheTechnologyMan just saw a new model of anker the anker soundcore flare plus.. Is it good compared to boost or tribit maxsound Can u help. Both r on sale.
If you had it connected to Echo Dot it would. Or you could use the Alexa app on your phone. But it doesn't have Alexa built in if that's what you mean?
@@TheTechnologyMan Thats what I mean sorry yes....paired up to an Echo Dot - with echo dot in bedroom and the speaker in bathroom - so the speakers microphone acts as a go between. I have an Anker Soundcore but this doesn't support that
How much louder is the W-King in comparison? There is only a 10W power margin, however, the sound tests imply a vast difference in volume and general oomph. Extremely high quality videos by the way - very much enjoying them.
Just got one of these speakers, instructions mentioned "green" light for charging. I haven't seen a green light, and after seeing your review I now know why, there isn't one, it's RED. Thanks, you were very helpful to a very confused man.
Very, very good channel. I need to buy tomorrow. 3 option same price. 1... Tronsmart Force plus 2... JBL Flip 5 3.... (2x)Tronsmart T2 plus(using tws for stereo) which option is the one that has the loudest, clearest sound and best bass? Thank you very much 
Thank you carlos varela! Sorry not tried the Flip 5 or the Force+. But the Force most likely has the most bass and is pretty loud. But if you like spatial separation 2 T2 Plus sound good and having a stereo pair of speakers tends to conjure up the perception of more bass. Te Flip 5 will probably sound the crispest.
Great review. I had one I really enjoyed it.. Then it stopped working :( It just would not charge anymore. ITs a great speaker but I fear it wont stand the test of time.
@@TheTechnologyMan going for a replacement but if it fails again then I'll look elsewhere. Seems to be a common issue with these speakers, so maybe one to mention in an up date?.. it's always good to know how long these items will last. Tronsmart themselves are impossible to get proper communication with but as I bought it online the distributor offered a full refund and that allowed me to repurchase. Perhaps the warrantee is not as useful as it seems..
Got mine today and... well it's not even close to what the reviews are showing. I was expecting more and better sound. But ended up disappointed. Not worth even the money it costs 👎. I'll stick to the ANKER instead 😉
@@TheTechnologyMan My colleague got the new SoundCore Motion+. The cleanest speaker so far available in frequency, i mean in bluetooth speakers, it's amazing really. I had the SoundCore Boost, alao a great one. 👍 up to ANKER
The Motion+ is better - but in the UK at least it's twice the price so not really directly comparable. The Boost is very popular - it feels more premium than the Force - but isn't as loud if that's important to you.
@@TheTechnologyMan Yea i know. I've had the Boost, all though. It's not louder, but the sound is way better than the Tronsmart, you can feel the bass more significantly, and overall tones are cleaner.
Horrible la experiencia con Tornsmart. El primer uso fue con la carga que trae, lo probé maximo 20 minutos, luego lo cargué por 2 o 3 hrs app, encontré que duró poco tambien con la carga completa (7 u 8 horas en total, no lo usé de manera continua), se apagó, lo cargué, al cabo de 15 o 20 min se apagó la luz y probé, tenia 70% (raro, en tan poco rato) asi que seguí cargandolo para llegar al 100%, igual no lo necesitaba en ese momento... nunca mas prendió, no hace nada, probé lo del play por 8 segundos (reset segun el manual) y asi con todos los botones, no lo manosearé mas, abrí una disputa, ojala tenga suerte y me deshaga de esta basura, no lo compren, es una lastima por que suena, se vé y se siente muy bien, pero es solo eso, luce bien, pero no sirve. Busquen info sobre este problema, es muy comun.
Feel free to use the playback speed controls in TH-cam - 0.75x may work for you. Or enable the full transcription I provide by tapping the CC button. Or look at the written article at thetechnologyman.com. Hope one of those suggestions helps.
How can we trust your review, when you don't understand the simplest part of sound technology, the person listening, will only hear the music , on their device, and that means they're not going to have a clue what the sound quality is like from the one you review.. !!! Durrrrrh
The sound demonstrations are really meant as a comparison between the different speakers. You should be able to at least some differences between them. It helps listening with decent over ear headphones. But it's never going to be the same as listening to the speaker in real life. I still think a lot of people find it helpful, together with my overall impression of the speakers after listening to it myself for hours on end - and having many speakers to compare it to.
@@TheTechnologyMan I understand that you're attempting to make comparison. You don't seem to understand that any sound , being played through a speaker, will only sound ,the way the speaker it's being played on does.. there is absolutely no way to portray a speakers quality,, by playing it on another speaker, this is the best example of an exercise in futility I have ever seen. Sorry but overhead earphones mean nothing in this example. You just don't get it !!!! There may be a noticeable change in the sound, on the device that that watches and listens to your video, but it is absolutely removed from any example of what the speaker you're using does... It's that simple !!!
Which speaker do you prefer the sound of? And with all the features this speaker has, are there any missing that are important to you? Let me know down below!

Thank you Jan! That will depend on what you're watching. If you want to hear voices clearly I'd probably have Bass off.

The Micro is completely waterproof. It's not as loud as the MaxSound Plus - but remarkably capable for such a small speaker.

The flip 3 doesn't have that faulty feature kind of a power saving thing but isn't available anymore. Pretty sure everything that came out from jbl since flip 4 has that annoying thing. Seen people complain about it. Hundreds of people have posted about it. There is a utube video just on that. Everytime I watch a comparison of flip 4 I always find it sounds better less muddled. It is really unfortunate.
Ah that's a shame - good luck in your quest ...
Thanks man. Complete reviews. It makes me think of replacing my jbl go+
Thank you karl james macabata!
I want that tronsmart, what is the price and how do I get it in Uganda
I got mine from Amazon - if you can't find it where you are I'd suggest contacting Tronsmart. Good luck.
Which is the loudest and which has the best bass?
The JBL and Tronsmart are the loudest. The Tronsmart and Boost have the most bass.
Hi, did you tell about changed back passive radiator and dsp. new force play a bit different than old one.
I don't have an old version to compare it to - sorry.
thanks! I going forward with Tribit!
Great I hope you enjoy it!
você já testou a T6 PLUS ou a FORCE PLUS, são todas da Tronsmart e pelos comentários me parecem melhores. Você poderia fazer um comparativo?
Eu tenho o T6 plus, mas ainda não o revi. Quando o fizer, compararei com a Força ...
I have the tronsmart connected to my fire tv cube but disappointed that you can’t control the volume remotely.
Can you not set the volume on the Force to say 75% volume and then just control volume on Fire TV cube? Sorry, I don't have the Cube.
Flip 4 is 16W and Force is 40W.
According to these numbers the force equals 2.5 times the power of JBL (40/100)
Is there really so much difference between these two? wich would be the real numbers? 60/100, 70/100, 80/100...
I want to buy JBL for the quality sound but I'm concerned that it was so poor in power compared with Trosmart
No there are much closer than that. The JBL is plenty loud enough for a speaker of that size ...
@@TheTechnologyMan Thanks my friend!
Would you say Force blow Flip 4 out out the water or there aren't so much difference really. These both could compete at a similar categorie?
Because there are many opinions that give the Tronsmart 20 or 30w of real power and the comparisson would be more fair...
No it's much closer than that. JBL's always a have bright sound that a lot of people like. And their build quality is good. I would probably make the decision on features you want and price ...
@@TheTechnologyMan Ok. Perfect. I think I won't regret of order the Flip 4. There isn't so much difference in price. Thanks a lot for the help!
Thank you for the review!
No problem thank you Heikki Pitkänen!
Se fosse para você Tronsmart Force, T6 Plus ou Anker soudcore pro plus?
If not concerned about size probably the Force ...
If Tribit has an EQ feature well i think it would be PERFECT!
Yes not sure if the latest Tribit's have an app to set EQ ...
Which one is better? Soundcore Boost or Element Force?
The Force is a bit louder and has USB-C charging which I like. It's a bit bigger than the Boost though. Hopefully this video and its sound test will help with your decision?
The Technology Man thank you so much 😊
well, I didn't think it would be so difficult! here in Australia, I can but Tronsmart Force for $80 AUD from Amazon, However, Tribit Max sound plus is $203 ! more than double the plus! and Anker MotionPlus is not even available, so my question would be, do I buy the Tronsmart? or wait for the Anker to become available with the risk of a higher price? or is Tribit worth the price tag here? or any other options I should consider?
The Motion+ is is a different class - here in the UK at least - it's double the price and much bigger. The Tribit is not worth 2.5 times the price! I would give the Tronsmart a try - and just buy from Amazon or similar where you can return it if you're not happy with it? The Anker Soundcore Boost would be another option?
@@TheTechnologyMan Thanks for that! just to clarify, if I could get my hands on the Anker Motion+, not considering the price difference, is it considerably recommended than Tribit/Tronsmart speaker? I know price is an important factor, but if you were to rank these speakers 1 to 5 how would you place them?
Yes it's better!
My soundcore boost is showing problems(just bought) ... Its rattling at low sound. Is it normal
Doesn't sound right - is it vibration? Is is sitting flat on your table. Try it on another surface perhaps. But it shouldn't rattle.
@@TheTechnologyMan done that... Think the product was defective
@@TheTechnologyMan just saw a new model of anker the anker soundcore flare plus.. Is it good compared to boost or tribit maxsound
Can u help. Both r on sale.

Hi, does this work with Alexa for voice commands? ie to have in bathroom while showering to send voice commands to change songs etc
If you had it connected to Echo Dot it would. Or you could use the Alexa app on your phone. But it doesn't have Alexa built in if that's what you mean?
@@TheTechnologyMan Thats what I mean sorry yes....paired up to an Echo Dot - with echo dot in bedroom and the speaker in bathroom - so the speakers microphone acts as a go between. I have an Anker Soundcore but this doesn't support that
Ah I see - no you're still using the mic from the Echo Dot in this configuration. The Echo responses just play out from the speaker.
The Technology Man doh.....wishful thinking, thanks for confirming
Please i would love to know which is best between the tronsmart t6plus vs anker boost
One is 40w and other is 20w... is there much difference between the two of them. Your advice would be appreciated
The T6 Plus has a bigger sound but isn't as compact as the Boost.
Which would you recommend i get?
Just between those speakers I'd probably go for the Tronsmart - if just looking at audio quality.
@@TheTechnologyMan ok thanks
How much louder is the W-King in comparison? There is only a 10W power margin, however, the sound tests imply a vast difference in volume and general oomph.
Extremely high quality videos by the way - very much enjoying them.
Thanks Hastings-Rose! The W-King is much louder (and much bigger)!
quality review, well done sir
Thank you very much Jack Scott!
Just got one of these speakers, instructions mentioned "green" light for charging. I haven't seen a green light, and after seeing your review I now know why, there isn't one, it's RED. Thanks, you were very helpful to a very confused man.
Thank you ivan ashley - glad my video helped!
How do you fit the handle
Sorry don't have the speaker to hand but will check when I next have it out if I remember.
Does the s8 plus supports nfc?
Yes it should: www.samsung.com/uk/support/mobile-devices/what-is-nfc-and-how-do-i-use-it/
Very, very good channel.
I need to buy tomorrow.
3 option same price.
1... Tronsmart Force plus
2... JBL Flip 5
3.... (2x)Tronsmart T2 plus(using tws for stereo)
which option is the one that has the loudest, clearest sound and best bass?
Thank you very much

Thank you carlos varela! Sorry not tried the Flip 5 or the Force+. But the Force most likely has the most bass and is pretty loud. But if you like spatial separation 2 T2 Plus sound good and having a stereo pair of speakers tends to conjure up the perception of more bass. Te Flip 5 will probably sound the crispest.
@@TheTechnologyMan the force plus is the this 40watt tronsmart you review. The normal one is only 20 watt
T6 plus distorts alot
Great review. Thanks.
Thank you Fil Adamski!
i got the tronsmart and for 50 dollars the sound and duration of the battery beats anything on the market.
👍 - it is good value!
Have to quick press vol up, no way of gagging max sound easy because, if you press for too long skips tracks, which is annoying
A lot of speakers do that - I agree it's annoying!
How can I buy a charger?
You can use any 5V wall charger or USB port (USB 3 ideally).
Not a fan of the Tronsmart sound. I liked the Tribit best and the Anker a close second!
The Tribit does have a very balanced sound with decent clarity.
Great review. I had one I really enjoyed it.. Then it stopped working :( It just would not charge anymore. ITs a great speaker but I fear it wont stand the test of time.
Oh no - I hope you manage to get it swapped out or a refund!
@@TheTechnologyMan going for a replacement but if it fails again then I'll look elsewhere. Seems to be a common issue with these speakers, so maybe one to mention in an up date?.. it's always good to know how long these items will last. Tronsmart themselves are impossible to get proper communication with but as I bought it online the distributor offered a full refund and that allowed me to repurchase. Perhaps the warrantee is not as useful as it seems..
Sounds a good plan! I tend to buy stuff like this off Amazon - so I don't have to rely on the brand themselves for support.
Compared to a JBl flip 3?
I compared it to Flip 4 in the video - that should give you a pretty close approximation to the Flip 3.
tribit or anker?
What's the question - you prefer those two?
Got mine today and... well it's not even close to what the reviews are showing. I was expecting more and better sound. But ended up disappointed. Not worth even the money it costs 👎. I'll stick to the ANKER instead 😉
That's a shame - Anker make some nice speakers so I'm sure you'll be happy.
@@TheTechnologyMan My colleague got the new SoundCore Motion+. The cleanest speaker so far available in frequency, i mean in bluetooth speakers, it's amazing really. I had the SoundCore Boost, alao a great one. 👍 up to ANKER
The Motion+ is better - but in the UK at least it's twice the price so not really directly comparable. The Boost is very popular - it feels more premium than the Force - but isn't as loud if that's important to you.
@@TheTechnologyMan Yea i know. I've had the Boost, all though. It's not louder, but the sound is way better than the Tronsmart, you can feel the bass more significantly, and overall tones are cleaner.
I think tribit has more details ans sounds more balanced. But tronsmart seems more powerful...maybe vs the anker motion + would be more fair
Glad that comes through. Good summary - I did compare it against the Motion+ too but video was getting long enough without!
Very well done review. Just a suggestion, consider speaking a little slower ;)
Thanks Roman Malyarenko!
For what it's worth Gidon, I watch these on 1.25 speed and find you perfectly comprehensible :)
slow the time down to 0.75 its perfect
Great review. Thank you!
(By the way I liked the sounding of JBL, it gave much more natural live feel.)
Thanks Michail Nazarenko!
What were you listening on ? the JBL sounded horrible on both my DJ headphones and my 200W logitech sound system !
I still in doubt between JBL and this one tronsmart 🤔
Tronsmart is a little more bassy - JBL is brighter with good clairty.
I am hearing with my shp 9500. To my ear the tronsmart sound fuller.
Nice headphones!
That rubbery finished will becomes messy over time.
It does attract fingerprints - but does make it feel a little more robust.
I prefer compact & bigger watts. EQ will do the magic.
So you prefer the Force?
Im listening this on a tronsmart force
Nice! 👍
Tronsmart the best.
It's a nice little speaker!
Yes !!
The JBLs always seem to have superior midrange and shimmering highs, even if the lower end isn't as loud.
Yes you're right - JBLs always sound bright which a lot of people will like.
Horrible la experiencia con Tornsmart. El primer uso fue con la carga que trae, lo probé maximo 20 minutos, luego lo cargué por 2 o 3 hrs app, encontré que duró poco tambien con la carga completa (7 u 8 horas en total, no lo usé de manera continua), se apagó, lo cargué, al cabo de 15 o 20 min se apagó la luz y probé, tenia 70% (raro, en tan poco rato) asi que seguí cargandolo para llegar al 100%, igual no lo necesitaba en ese momento... nunca mas prendió, no hace nada, probé lo del play por 8 segundos (reset segun el manual) y asi con todos los botones, no lo manosearé mas, abrí una disputa, ojala tenga suerte y me deshaga de esta basura, no lo compren, es una lastima por que suena, se vé y se siente muy bien, pero es solo eso, luce bien, pero no sirve. Busquen info sobre este problema, es muy comun.
Think I just replied on another post you did - but hope they sort you out.
Mhm Notabrick and this look so much alike
Not heard of that one!
the jbl flip 4 is better than alll
I still like my Flip 4!
Wow to me surprisingly the JBL sounded the worst. A weird any tinny kind of sound. That's shocking to me it was the loudest one.
The JBL has a very bright sound - it is noticeably different to the Tronsmart - a little closer to the Tribit. Does depend what you listen to ...
Agreed.
Prefiero el tronsmart forcé bueno en graves
It does have good bass!
JBLだけ全然音が違う
はい、JBLのスピーカーは非常に特徴的なサウンドを持っていますか
Geeesh! He talks a mile a minute!! Can hardly listen and absorb what he’s saying!!
Feel free to use the playback speed controls in TH-cam - 0.75x may work for you. Or enable the full transcription I provide by tapping the CC button. Or look at the written article at thetechnologyman.com. Hope one of those suggestions helps.
To much talk but not the sound of the speaker.lol
Go to 5:30 in video I have a sound test comparing this speakers to others? And in a few of my other videos I also compare against this speaker ..
He talk..but that is good for information.
Even I don't like those speakers.
How can we trust your review, when you don't understand the simplest part of sound technology, the person listening, will only hear the music , on their device, and that means they're not going to have a clue what the sound quality is like from the one you review.. !!! Durrrrrh
The sound demonstrations are really meant as a comparison between the different speakers. You should be able to at least some differences between them. It helps listening with decent over ear headphones. But it's never going to be the same as listening to the speaker in real life. I still think a lot of people find it helpful, together with my overall impression of the speakers after listening to it myself for hours on end - and having many speakers to compare it to.
@@TheTechnologyMan I understand that you're attempting to make comparison. You don't seem to understand that any sound , being played through a speaker, will only sound ,the way the speaker it's being played on does.. there is absolutely no way to portray a speakers quality,, by playing it on another speaker, this is the best example of an exercise in futility I have ever seen. Sorry but overhead earphones mean nothing in this example. You just don't get it !!!! There may be a noticeable change in the sound, on the device that that watches and listens to your video, but it is absolutely removed from any example of what the speaker you're using does... It's that simple !!!
@@TheTechnologyMan you could get the same difference by listening to anything. And adjusting the treble n bass and mid range
Thank you for the review!
Thank you Rogério Figueiredo!
