@@gavmansworkshop5624 in order for the JBL to get that low you have to use low frequency mode which is dangerous because there’s no protection and it also sounds terribly flat at low volumes.
The Xtreme 2 has more bass but the XB43 bass is a lot tighter and better sounding to me. With the JBL you can really hear the plastic chassis resonating.
I think they are both good. I found the JBL had slightly more punch in the lower register whereas Sony was a little softer in the lows with a clearer higher register. It is very subtle and the difference to me can only be heard when the speakers are played under controlled conditions. The JBL has one definite advantage it has a carrying strap and for me, that is a bonus.
I bought the xb33 first, took it to work and couldn't hear it, but I loved it. I have to wear ear plugs and it's VERY loud at work. So I took it back and spent the extra money and got the xb43, and I'm glad I did. I also learned about LDAC, it's a whole different level of output. So needless to say, I can hear the xb43 in a loud environment with ear plugs in. I highly recommend both speakers.
At 4:15 jbl volume is getting down when the bass come out from the drivers this is because they are too much boosted in very low frequency, while Sony is more open
Wow, I watched a bunch of useless videos till I get here and watched yours. You are the best by far, every piece of info is just incredible . Congrats on this amazing work.You really Rock!
This is good because I've just ordered the XB43 I drive an old T600 Kenworth and I want to pump the music also when I got peeps in the crib I become the chef/DJ all in one go lol
Sony made so much improvements this year! They can be the best at so many things at once; speakers, headphones, TV's, and surely, this year's coming consoles.
I have an older Bose Soundlink and I wanted to get something better. After seeing this video and others, I decided to go with the Sony. I will tell you that the Sony has so much more depth (front to back) with the reverb as well as more top end providing a more open sound over the Bose. Of course the Sony is much larger, and heavier as well. Sony is stereo with a left right speakers, two tweeters and and the sub. I also like that the bluetooth option provides a higher quality connection LDAC, aptX HD codec. I turned off the annoying blinking lights. Sure that might be for when your in the dark or something, but it will take away from battery life. All in all I highly recommend. the Sony. With that said, based on the sound examples of the JBL, the JBL is nice as well, but I prefer the more open sound of the Sony. Thanks for the video.

at this level in the range, both offerings are looking pretty good. JBL is still offering good highs, though at this point the fact that they're still going with that "loudness" sound with boosted highs and lows starts to become unreasonable. While it works well with their smaller speakers, a speaker this size is getting plenty loud enough to go with a flatter sound and still be easily heard in louder environments. The Sony has taken the correct approach I think. The speakers are large enough now that the flatter sound that Sony seems to be going with throughout their product range really starts to pay off here. I think this is a win for Sony for the more accurate reproduction.

These speakers can't produce 20hz though. It's a trick, a nice one but still. What they did is: use a 20 Hz but steep eq it and only keep the harmonics so it still sounds a little bit like 20 Hz but is actually the second (40 hz) and third harmonic (60 hz)etc. Now you know :)

@@DLXWillington hi thanks a lot for the great comparison video just one last thing please confirm which one has more bass in battery mode and which if xtreme 2 has more bass when in ac mode in comparison to eq tweaked to its highest on xb43.. please it would help a lot.
Danny i can confirm that this is true. You hear a lot of harmonic distortion with low notes on the Sony. Even at 60hz, the Xtreme 2 manages to play the note much cleaner.
I love the sony. I got it way before this review when it first came out and couldn't be happier. Also the bummer part of not having handle. You can get any 20" extension cord wrap for it and carry it anywhere
The Sony SRS-XB43 is on fire it’s cool extra bass waterproof and also has light modes Yellow mode Red mode Blue mode Also rainbow mode The Sony also has 4 Square Speakers and 2 White Tweeters The 4 Square Speakers can Glow like the Tweeters
I auditioned both speakers at the mall and I can conclude that the JBL has a little more bass but the clarity and top end belongs to the XB43! Love it. anyway, can't afford it at the time so I settled with my old XB30, which is a lot more silent and my twin JBL Go 2's.
Finally Sony is has a challenger for the Extreme challenger. Against Charge, since xb31 sony has doing a good job and win. I miss live mode of xb43 in the battle.
I can agree that Jbl have some harsh treble, I have a pk7 and my mate has a charge 3 and 4 and when comparing them thr jbl sounded very treble and harsh
Finally Sony yes yes we have to wait so long to just make better speaker than JBL. At meantime I have Extreme 2 but I always love the Sony products because of the history and so many things they invented for the first time like Walkman, LDAC codec, DVD BlueRay. The most recent LDAC almost everybody has in their premium headphones like Techincs and other brands in their products. This new speaker of Sony is more refined in every aspect well done.
I work at a Military PX and I get to buy an XB43 for $129.99 tax free when the price drops again (I already know when it will). Regular price at the PX is already way cheaper than anywhere else at $179.99. So if you're looking to buy one and you know someone in the military, ask them to take you to your local PX/BX.
Thanks a lot for review! You helped me to choose! Sony is better for my requirements - a little bit less bass but much more crisp vocal and mid and high range. JBL is mixing all ranges into "cereal" with bass accent.
Thank you for this nice video 👍👏 Unfortunately xb43 is not available in France. I also find with this video that the sony highs are not well integrated with mediums. The highs seem like "separated" from the rest. This afternoon I compared xb41 and xtreme2 with classical music. The what we can tell "soudstage" (regarding the size of these speakers!) was wider and flat with the xb41 live mode, and less wide but more deep and separated with the xtreme2. With JBL more air between instruments. I finally bought the JBL Extreme2 ! I would like Bose to build a "big" Mini Soundlink which was the best 5 years ago. But last products disappointed me.. I think the most important is ENJOY MUSIC !!
I got a charge 4, when i try to connect it to my charge 3 it connects, but when i play some music only one speaker is playing, and after ~10 or more seconds the other speaker is playing too, anyone know what is the problem? It worked perfectly with other Charge 4 speakers 3 of them.
You cannot connect them i have just recently bought a charge 3 and wanted to get a charge 4 so i double checked to see if they were Compatible and they are not unfortunately. Next time ask Google. Andy England 🇬🇧👍
Not so much difference at all (hearing storybook earphones). Both are pretty good. Just a question of choosing with stil style of them attract you more.
I just cant find the sony xb43 in stock anywhere here in romania. I can find the jbl extreme 2 at about 190 euros. Do you think its worth it ? Or wait for the sony xb43 to appear ?
Xtreme 2 has better bass tho, like for the sony the lower Hz is not as deep as the JBL. The JBL has a more richer, deeper and natural sound. The other parts sony is kinda better. But I prefer the JBL because of the bass, as a buyer my main preference is good rich bass.
Akhil Kattuvelil Sijo sony has better bass then most lf its jbl speakers I heard them in the stores the xb32 has more deeper bass then the charge 4 and the xb41 has more bass then the extreme 2

The Sony SRS-XB43 is on fire it’s cool extra bass waterproof and also has light modes
Yellow mode
Red mode
Blue mode
Also rainbow mode
The Sony also has 4 Square Speakers and 2 White Tweeters
The 4 Square Speakers can Glow like the Tweeters
YESSS! Finally the Review I was hoping to see, THANK YOU. Unfortunately I already have the Exreme 2, and have yet to fully abused it yet.
I auditioned both speakers at the mall and I can conclude that the JBL has a little more bass but the clarity and top end belongs to the XB43! Love it. anyway, can't afford it at the time so I settled with my old XB30, which is a lot more silent and my twin JBL Go 2's.
You violated me when you whispered in my right ear at 45hz
I was wearing the Sony XM3 while watching this video, and I almost went to deck someone in the face on that part.
rwplm 😂😂😂
You have hit it on the head ..that frequency diplay was THE best production viewing i have ever seen ! TERRIFIC 👍👌👏
Ahhhh finally the beast is back!!!!!!
For real ahahahah!!
The god 41
Aha!
I love your comparison
Finally Sony is has a challenger for the Extreme challenger. Against Charge, since xb31 sony has doing a good job and win.
I miss live mode of xb43 in the battle.
Good review mate ! Thumbs up
I have XB33 and XB43 too. The 33 is great, but the 43 is fantastic! The JBL Extreme 2 has more harsh and grainy treble compare to the XB43.
I can agree that Jbl have some harsh treble, I have a pk7 and my mate has a charge 3 and 4 and when comparing them thr jbl sounded very treble and harsh
Is harsh good?
Please can I use this as a phone call Bluetooth speaker inside my car?
My car radio has no Bluetooth phone connection. Thanks
Finally Sony yes yes we have to wait so long to just make better speaker than JBL. At meantime I have Extreme 2 but I always love the Sony products because of the history and so many things they invented for the first time like Walkman, LDAC codec, DVD BlueRay. The most recent LDAC almost everybody has in their premium headphones like Techincs and other brands in their products. This new speaker of Sony is more refined in every aspect well done.
I work at a Military PX and I get to buy an XB43 for $129.99 tax free when the price drops again (I already know when it will). Regular price at the PX is already way cheaper than anywhere else at $179.99. So if you're looking to buy one and you know someone in the military, ask them to take you to your local PX/BX.
Thanks a lot for review! You helped me to choose! Sony is better for my requirements - a little bit less bass but much more crisp vocal and mid and high range. JBL is mixing all ranges into "cereal" with bass accent.
Thanks for the awesome comparison. Im a bass head and i was wondering if the HK studio 6 is the bass king? Or if there is anything bassier I can get
The omni 50+, or if you dont mind the size, partybox 100
I'm here... xb43 yesss.. I like . Dope... I guess I made up my mind ..
Wow Excellent sound test.. Subscribed.. ☑️☑️
Sony takes dub for me 🔥
Hummm, Thanks for this comparison, i think that i will probably buy this Sony to test it on my channel too :-)
Great Job !
Go for it 👍
Personally I feel that the xb43’s highs were a bit too sharp for my liking but that could just be me
I second that..!
As he always said. Sound would differ on headphones were using .so it's not the best way to judge the speaker . instead his opinion.
That could be coming from a typical "u-shaped" frequency response. In other words the mids are less pronounced than treble.
Same
Thank you for this nice video 👍👏
Unfortunately xb43 is not available in France. I also find with this video that the sony highs are not well integrated with mediums. The highs seem like "separated" from the rest. This afternoon I compared xb41 and xtreme2 with classical music. The what we can tell "soudstage" (regarding the size of these speakers!) was wider and flat with the xb41 live mode, and less wide but more deep and separated with the xtreme2. With JBL more air between instruments.
I finally bought the JBL Extreme2 !
I would like Bose to build a "big" Mini Soundlink which was the best 5 years ago. But last products disappointed me..
I think the most important is ENJOY MUSIC !!
Yo! i got the XB43 and i love the sound. But i am wondering what's the sound comparison if the Xtreme 2 is connected to the external power ?
I own a Sony SRS-XB21... And it's awesome...🤘
Good for you 👍
Me too!
Better than JBL!
I got a charge 4, when i try to connect it to my charge 3 it connects, but when i play some music only one speaker is playing, and after ~10 or more seconds the other speaker is playing too, anyone know what is the problem? It worked perfectly with other Charge 4 speakers 3 of them.
You cannot connect them i have just recently bought a charge 3 and wanted to get a charge 4 so i double checked to see if they were Compatible and they are not unfortunately. Next time ask Google. Andy England 🇬🇧👍
Please put a new and nice soundtracks in your next upload. So we can feel refreshness in your videos
Ellooo frum Nigeria 🇳🇬 my brudda!
Not so much difference at all (hearing storybook earphones). Both are pretty good. Just a question of choosing with stil style of them attract you more.
Hi what do you think about the thodio mini could you make a review?
Definitely the sony! They need to add carrying hooks and it would be perfect!
Yes definitely
A handle would be nice so it would not be called an Xtreme imposter
the battery is a problem. Only 2 hours at 100% ....
@@lefteriskaskaniotis7599 Seriously?!
Craig S no he’s doesn’t know it’s about 4-6 hours on full volume
I just cant find the sony xb43 in stock anywhere here in romania.
I can find the jbl extreme 2 at about 190 euros.
Do you think its worth it ? Or wait for the sony xb43 to appear ?
Xtreme 2 has better bass tho, like for the sony the lower Hz is not as deep as the JBL. The JBL has a more richer, deeper and natural sound. The other parts sony is kinda better. But I prefer the JBL because of the bass, as a buyer my main preference is good rich bass.
U Just jbl fan lmao... I have boombox.
@@markdanyi6313 trust I ain't no fanboy, I just like the bass of JBL better, Sony is good on the other bits
Akhil Kattuvelil Sijo sony has better bass then most lf its jbl speakers I heard them in the stores the xb32 has more deeper bass then the charge 4 and the xb41 has more bass then the extreme 2
Thanks for this comparison, it helped me a lot!
