@@vishred all products from soundcore have a customizable equalizer, I think if you set it on this speaker, the sound will be no worse than on JBL, it’s just that the author of this video probably didn’t do this in tests, and this is the most important feature of all products from Anker Soundcore because only with adjusting the equalizer and headphones and speakers from this company reveal their 100% sound!
Soundcore is known for it's punchy bass while JBL has deep bass and clearer treble. Total Harmonic Distortion is much lower with the JBL at higher volume than the Soundcore. It's been my experience that speakers with the lowest THD are a bit more expensive and I believe that's what you're paying for when you buy the JBL
I agree with you. The soundcore is tuned with punchy bass. Where as ur playing the raw speaker driver output in JBL. And I beleive JBL should be the one people should be buying
@@dawid3743 in USD and MXN are way cheaper Being the jbl at 339 USD OR 6000 MXN And the sound core boom 2 plus at 245 USD or 4350 MXN Just 100 USD of difference it's very close
I got a refurbished Boombox 3 for $260. At that price it’s a no brainer and probably best value for your money. If you peruse eBay lots of people are selling used ones sub $300 right now since it’s on sale for $350 brand new (which I feel like its on sale at that price every other month).
If your looking for more bass from a speaker. Put it in the corner of your room. Certain areas in your house will have great bass. Its how frequencies bounce of the walls
Thanks for the comparison. My first Bluetooth speaker was of course JBL. A Charge 3. Exactly after 2 years and 2 weeks it broke. It stopped charging and the sound creaked. Then I bought an Anker (Soundcore). Paid a quarter of the price. The sound is comparable and after 4 years the thing still works like on the first day. AND it has been dropped dozens of times! JBL failed because they sell products that are supposed to break after the warranty period.
I love Soundcore (Anker) stuff, but I'm not brand loyal. So the JBL sparked my interest. But, as you said, the difference in price makes this an easy choice for me. Running 2 Boom2 in a stereo configeration is such an enhanced sound. Not the quality, but now you have a stage and you are able to be loud enough, even for medium sized locations for like 30-40 people. BTW: If price is the main criteria, I would run 2 linked Boom1 plus for a bit more than you pay for 1 Boom2 plus. If even that is to expansive, two Boom 1 (non plus) cost around 100-110€.
I don't believe you. I've heard that the Soundcore Boom 2 Plus has better bass and richer sound. The Boombox is quieter, so you might think JBL is better, but it's inside a room. The JBL is designed for rooms, while the Anker is made more for outdoor environments.
I'm sorry but what?? The boombox is quieter? Tis each their own but like I can hear my boombox 3 from the other side of Walmart where I work lol I work nights so we can bring our own speaker I don't see the boom plus 2 doing that and I'm not exaggerating I can leave it in grocery and still hear it in electronics in the back of the store
Me personally prefer the sound of the boom 2 plus… but for the people that prefer the JBL… does it sound x2 better than the JBL? As you mentioned 2 boom 2 plus for the price of 1 JBL… for me boom 2 plus won this one
Mids on Soundcore sound better to me but the Highs on JBL are richer. Soundcore can float on water though and cool light show at night. We'll be watching 4th of July fireworks in my 92 degree pool with my Soundcore blasting tomorrow night from Palm Springs. Hope I don't get electrocuted.
JBL sounds better to me. I do not hear any high-level sounds on the Soundcore's speaker, unfortunately. Maybe, it is due to the specific sound profile. However, thank you for the honest review since other reviewers made their own reviews more complementary to Soundcore than they should have.
people don’t realise how fucking big and heavy these speakers are. I thought it was gonna be the medium sized speaker but when i bought the JBL Boombox 3 Wifi it was bigger than expected
They're both great speakers. If only the speakers boombox wasnt so expensive, its a no brainer for the quality. But for the price, the boom plus has me sold
It cracks me up that people have sound tests on a speaker review. Why? Like its is going to tell me in any way how the speaker will sound. It is pointless. I know a lot of people do it but if you think about it for a moment it makes no sense. There are so many things in the sound chain changing the sound that what I am hearing in your video has zero resemblance to the speaker sound.
Mainly just to contextualize the differences in sound profile. Obviously, there's no substitue for hearing a speaker in person, but it can at least give you some insight on a speakers character.
I have the boom 2 plus bought it on amazon it was on sale for 140 bucks and it's a powerhouse! But the thing that i don't like and many bleutooth speakers have this problem and that's the bass lose above 70% volume or so. The bassup 2.0 sounds great but only untill 70-75% volume after that it loses it's bass and power and it turns into a mess, really frustrated!
Buy refurbished from JBL and save a ton. For amazing sound and portability give the Soundcore Motion x600. I have both the boombox 3 and x600 oh and the motion 300.
The JBL Xtreme 3 would be a better comparison to the boom plus 2 as it is a speaker the boombox 3 is a stereo system not a speaker because it has a subwoofer so it's not really a fair comparison.
I already own the JBL Boombox 3 and the Motion Boom Plus I don't plan on getting the Boom2 because I've been spoiled by the JBL so now I'm thinking about getting the JBL Xtreme4 for portability if it comes to the US because the JBL Boombox 3 is a bit hefty! 😅
I think the Souncore sounds muffled. The JBL sounds much more open. Keep in mind that I don’t recommend the Boombox 3 at retail price, it’s only worth it if it’s on sale. Otherwise just get the Soundcore and save some money.
Soundcore is a great choice if you're on a budget. However, Boombox 3 is on a different level for fuller, richer sound and bass. Also if 6 additional pounds with a handle is too heavy for a guy, then maybe their girl can do what they can't. Rolling eyes

It resembles the sound of the Tribit, even in the bass, but with more power. Tribit has a very good sound, but it loses in final power to the Bombox 3. This box turned out to be incredible.

soundcore boom 2 plus vs sony ult field 7 plz🙏
Boom 2 sounds noticeably fuller. The boombox 3 is a little harsh and lacks some midrange.

That $40 code didnt work. Was about to purchase
For me boom plus consistent from low volume til peak,while boom box only good at mid range.
You skipped that the jbl doesn not have usb c so you can not charge it in the go witch for me is a dealbracker
The JBL Xtreme 3 would be a better comparison to the boom plus 2 as it is a speaker the boombox 3 is a stereo system not a speaker because it has a subwoofer so it's not really a fair comparison.
The Soundcore would probably destroy the Xtreme 3 in terms of sound! The smaller Boom2 already sounds better than the xtreme 4.
You cant charge rhe boom box 3 on the go. You can charge the boom 2 with a battery bank.
Listening through Good buds the boom box 3 sound cleaner
