Check out my written comparison review of JBL 104 and iLoud Micro here: digitalstereophony.blogspot.com/2019/05/jbl-one-series-104-or-iloud-micro.html -> 10:25
I have a small room, a small table near the wall. In your opinion, will iLoud Micro Monitor be the best solution in these conditions, or can you advise something else?
You all probably dont give a shit but does any of you know a way to get back into an instagram account?? I stupidly lost the login password. I appreciate any help you can give me.
thank you digital stereophony! After i had watched this comparison i decided to buy the JBL 104, considering the fact that i found the version without BT for the Price of 89 euro (cheaper than the Iloud micro). I use it for my small jobs in audio-video editing and I'm very satisfied.
I have looked for a small monitor to use when travelling. I have tried both JBL 104 and iLoud Micro. iLoud Micro is an absolute amazing speaker for its size and price.
I have both pairs in stock. Iloud sounds much better. You can hear the difference in this test, but it is much more noticeable in live. The JBL sounds like a medium desktop speaker compared to the iloud. The Iloud is closer to studio sound.
@@complex_variation It's hard to describe in words) But I have some experience in studio work. And I can say that JBL is a Hi-Fi and Iloud is a professional instrument. If you use Iloud to work with sound, it is definitely a winning option. In any case they are completely different categories of sound. On a scale of 10, Iloud is a 10 and JBL is a 6. Certainly we have this form factor in mind. Mobile speakers.
@@ТимофейСвидан-х8ш Thank you for taking the time to answer. I don't work in studio. I just want to have good sound. I'll have to assess if paying more for the iloud is worth it.

Потенциальным покупателям стоит учесть, что звук из них довольно напорист. Это может не подойти любителям мягкого, более объемного звука. У самого Iloud Micro Monitors стоят на телевизоре. А вот для прослушивания музыки брать Iloud MTM как-то не спешу =)

I’m just watching this video because I want to buy the iLoud, but I saw that you have a problem in your room, a hole in 104Hz in both cases. I had the same issue with all of my speakers and solved by changing the position of my setup from the long side wall to the shorter one. Now it’s soooooo linear. Thank you for your comparison anyway, it was very useful for me.
Legal o teste, mas essa é uma demonstração do som da sua sala. Importante ressaltar que especialmente os graves são totalmente dependentes do espaço e tratamento acústico. Obrigado pelo vídeo!
Indeed, the iLoud bass kind of drags behind too. A bit too boomy to me. JBL is more true to the original imo, although they do have a tendency towards a little tinnier sound.
The JBL's sound like the Behringer MS-16's to me and I have the iLouds the bass is good for a speaker of that size and they did a good job designing these speakers and at low-level listening, the detail will surprise you.
These JBL are just piece of crap. They do not represent the recording. Boomboxes. They have no bass, mids are tinny. Lots of distortion. IK just is as close to the source as possible. "FULL SPEED" track says that all.
iLouds are great for listening and jamming out. They sound great, but maybe a little foo great. I feel the JBL 104 is a better choice for reference monitors, let's you know what it's going to sound like on a cheaper/smaller system.
I have both I travel with the Ilouds the JBL'S are at my computer desk the iLouds sound better until they don't past a certain volume level the iLouds chuff bass port noise the JBL 104"s are more consistent.and have more hookup options but the ILouds have some limited room EQ both are nice small monitors but if cash is a issue get the JBL's
yeah but they're prone to boost a certain frequency due to their design which makes them appear as a one note bass device. it's deep but not very articulated and wobbly
@@juststuff5216 i forgot to add. the bass tube is the fault here. the resonances it emits on higher volume is the actual fault because it's flimsy plastic after all
Sound winner is iLoud, price winner is JBL 😅, for me I choose JBL for travelling, because after that I will bring my music back and mixes with my main monitors in my studio.
Strange, on some tracks the JBL's sound better ( Full Speed and HipHop) and other tracks the Micros (Dream a Dream and Deep) and then they both sounded good (Heart on Fire). I think they're both good. It's mainly a matter of taste....and of course price.
@@keithcitizen4855 We are listening to speakers in a room. So we are hearing the acoustic of the room too. The comparison are better to listen on headphones and keep in head the room affects the sound.
The iLouds were decent when I owned them but you can clearly hear that emphasised bass response in the video, that was my issue with them as near field monitors, the bass is good quality but they're far from balanced and its intrusive when you're close to them.
I got the JBLs as I was limited for space in my apartment and had to send them back, I found that the lows were poor and muddled, every kick drum sounded the same.
well ilouds have lower bass extension surprisingly but yeah JBL sounded more detailed and well rounded to me. May be biased as i own a pair. I think ilouds not well represented here tho as they are made to be very near to you whereas in vid it's more mid field which bigger drivers and spread of speaker design on 104 would be better at. I think room affected 104 due to it spreading sound out more so mic had more to pick up.
Hey great video once again! However the iLouds seem to have a huge issue when it comes to the 50 hz frequency and lower. When the monitors reach the low end, the bass port makes way too much noise (like a screech or a high pitched punch sound). Did you notice this too in your testing? (Primarily noticeable in modern hip hop or trap because of the kick drum and 808). Thanks!
Also with low frequency the ILoud go in to peak mode and distort.. I returned my ILouds back to the store as they are not sufficient for any bass music.
@@HAYDENMUSICTV bro , this was super helpful . Exactly what I was looking for , I make beats with heavy 808s and kicks . I thought they would be too small to run hard hitting 808s through. Although JBL is always reliable for that purpose in my opinion
if you need satisfaction out of a pair I assume we should go with iLoud. JBL is cheaper and the sound varies widely with your room and surrounding where iLoud will deliver almost equally in all room condition.
no .. dont believe the hype... ILoud are just good as a 2nd or 3rd pair of monitors to check how well mixes translate. I had to return my ILoud because they do not handle deep bass kick drum and 808s very good at all also they are not very detail monitors
Man if you’re mixing rich low end on iLoud then you have the problem smh! They’re supposed to sound like that. They have a “almost” flat response which reveals your mids for better referencing🧐 th you lot been using it for
heard jbl is acoustically tuned to be placed on the desk (making , let's say 45 degrees, off axis angle towards the ears for a more neutral sound. the speaker stands in the video seems same height to me when being compared. have u read and tried as manual states? was curious. (no shade but from pure curiosity here)
Α great review (+the blog's I mean) again. That's the clash of the tiny titans. If I may, how you'd put these 4 in order: Presonus 5, JBL 104, iLoud Micro Monitor, Mackie CR5? Thanks for once again.
I was about to go for iLoud, but where is the bass? I have checked out several reviews and it's all the same: high + mid and shallow bass. JBL sound more wide and deep. Even my Edifier MS ultracompact speakers deliver more bass...
I have the iloud, here it lacks a bit of high frequencies, and overal they sound a bit muffed. When I mix on them, its hard to translate well on other systems. Are 104 pronouced on mid bass as well?
I returned my iLoud back to the store also the Kali LP and KRK rokit 6 where also returned.... Im looking for a monitor with good clarity/detail but also a decent bass... Would you recommend KRK V6S4 ?
I just watched your JBL/Mackie shootout and was going to try the JBLs... then this happened. Those iLouds have better bass... but they're more than double the price. I hate this.
The impression I got with these is that ILoud's were at a louder volume - which almost always initially can make one believe that they will sound better. The JBL's sounded not as loud, thus the comparison may be tricky to make.
minor difference??? Listen to the cymbals in the "Full Speed" song. The iLouds are more flat and the highs are closer to the source track whereas the JBL's are more sibiliant around 8-10KHz
у jbl середина немного поднята, что прикольно! ILoud побасовитей. Но лучшие за такой ценник edifier mr4 - is the BEST! both in the test is worst then edifier mr4
Lol jbl was very different from original track and when iloud came in there was very little change in how original and recording sounded to me. (Kz ZAX)
The best comparison video. Hi-hats and cymbals sound weird on JBLs… iLoud wins at that point. For the low end of JBL, it depends how and where you put the pair, doesn’t it? they have bass ports on the back.
It's correct . People forget that a monitor speaker is flat of sound . If you looking for hifi sound that those speakers are not for you. You can read it from people who tell that the base more bla bla. No it's have to be Cristal clear so you can make your own sound. So never forget that monitor speakers are make to make the sound like original . Need more in the low end a big speaker is what you need . For monitor speakers on your desk 50cm from your own ears you can use small speakers. And no the speaker do not need to go loud it's need to on a normal level so you can adjust the sound .
@@dyslectische thanks for your response. I'm an aspiring guitarist and intend to use full range monitors with amplifier simulators as I want to listen to the true characteristics of these simulators without the coloring from a monitor. With that in mind, could you elaborate on if most monitors inherently are built with a certain amount of coloring and if these JBL monitors would be ideal for the job?
Lows on JBL’s are miserable, they are a listening device, you’ll fail at the low end if you mix on them. Low mids sound muffled too. Meh.. Having them as another reference source is fine since they are very cheap.
I bought iLoud mm and I got shocked by it's lousy sound. It was in my wish list after I've watched some reviews on youtube, but I was so much disappointed. I found out it's worthless. I sold it two weeks later much cheaper price than I paid for it, and I bought wharfedale DS-2 blutooth speaker. now I'm satisfied.
That's what I was thinking, too much bell type bass and too much above 6k or so. I'd like to hear how they sound trying the different settings you can get with the switches it has, but so far the JBLs offer a flatter and more even response
@@dominbuleto heard folks taking the iloud back to the store . Said the bass for hip hop and trap is distorted . Guess it depends on the type of music . JBL for me
@@OGMeatball I'm with you, but we're also judging the response of the recorder in that room... If I only had to consider this video, iloud's lows and highs are too fake, whether I'd feel the same if I was in the room I can't know for sure. Too bad the jbls can't be tilted as the ilouds to point to your hears from the desk, that's a cool feature of the iloud's design
definitely not iLouds. they start clipping and rumbling at higher volume. I will return them, they are only for low volume accurate listening. get krk or jbl
Jbl 104 are good! You should try it yourself and do not based it here. Iloud has front port while 104 has back port, iloud has very great near field sound but 104 has a very rounded sound and if the song is mix properly you will here it as if there right on the speaker. I recommend you to try it in your nearest retailer stores 👍
lots of jbl trolls here lolz…its very obvious those ilouds produce less artifacts…the jbl’s passing of excess high’s, the mid’s are being flooded in the process…clean your ear’s people😂
the iloud have very unprecise bass and do lots of rumble, so bass sound as more. but it is fake bass. When compare on headphones in the deep song, the base drum is much longer on iloud play as in the original or JBL.
@@extremumone yes the 104 is weak on low bass. but use the EQ and boost 65 hz with 8 db. then it get same or little more bass as the iloud and the 104 bass stay precise
I disagree with the review. The iLouds have very harsh and fatiguing highs, extremely sibilant and annoying. The JBL 104 have non-existent lows, so piano sounds very thin, and they lack clarity, sounding like a cheap radio. In general, both speakers sound like crap. Get the JBL LSR 305 MKII instead.
Jbl more on low middle around 800-1200khz, and too much sibilands on voice. At all - its hard to listen this jbl 104. Iloud are more balanced but with a little more punch on bass. Of course we need to see microphone amplitude response graphic.
Fuck those ilouds have really idiotic mids highs are not bad though (better than $1k genelec from other video) that still doesnt nearly compensate for mids

Great point, a louder source nearly always makes you percieve a fuller sound.
It's just iloud have low frequencies. Jbl dont. So when iloud comes you hear more sound but it's not louder.
JBL is really good for the price, iLoud really good for the size. I prefer the JBL sound tho. In my country iLoud Micro has become too expensive.
lets keep in mind the ilouds are 2X price of JBL , not worth the price bump with minor difference I hear
minor difference??? Listen to the cymbals in the "Full Speed" song. The iLouds are more flat and the highs are closer to the source track whereas the JBL's are more sibiliant around 8-10KHz
Aside from JBL and iLoud, what is the brand of those bigger monitors used on the original tracks? ..They sound really full and excellent.. ADAM 5TV?

So never forget that monitor speakers are make to make the sound like original . Need more in the low end a big speaker is what you need .
For monitor speakers on your desk 50cm from your own ears you can use small speakers.
And no the speaker do not need to go loud it's need to on a normal level so you can adjust the sound .
@@dyslectische thanks for your response.
I'm an aspiring guitarist and intend to use full range monitors with amplifier simulators as I want to listen to the true characteristics of these simulators without the coloring from a monitor. With that in mind, could you elaborate on if most monitors inherently are built with a certain amount of coloring and if these JBL monitors would be ideal for the job?
@@PlayFloyd_IN I use on this moment the fluid f5 active speakers .
The JBL 104 come tomorrow in my home. So I can tell you how the are after testing .
@@dyslectische that would be great and thanks again for pitching in wit your comment!
@@PlayFloyd_IN still not here the speaker I will.let you know
JBL cheaper X2
Lows on JBL’s are miserable, they are a listening device, you’ll fail at the low end if you mix on them. Low mids sound muffled too. Meh.. Having them as another reference source is fine since they are very cheap.
What speakers are being used for the "Original Track" ?
none lol, the original track is just the mp3/wav file itself
This one is not even close, the micro are on a different category.
I bought iLoud mm and I got shocked by it's lousy sound. It was in my wish list after I've watched some reviews on youtube, but I was so much disappointed. I found out it's worthless. I sold it two weeks later much cheaper price than I paid for it, and I bought wharfedale DS-2 blutooth speaker. now I'm satisfied.
that jbl 104 is where its at
Iloud where is the mid freq?😜😅
deep under the bass... 😜
That's what I was thinking, too much bell type bass and too much above 6k or so. I'd like to hear how they sound trying the different settings you can get with the switches it has, but so far the JBLs offer a flatter and more even response
iLoud 10 billion times for sure!
@@dominbuleto heard folks taking the iloud back to the store . Said the bass for hip hop and trap is distorted . Guess it depends on the type of music . JBL for me
@@OGMeatball I'm with you, but we're also judging the response of the recorder in that room... If I only had to consider this video, iloud's lows and highs are too fake, whether I'd feel the same if I was in the room I can't know for sure. Too bad the jbls can't be tilted as the ilouds to point to your hears from the desk, that's a cool feature of the iloud's design
a very similar wording the price should decide
What monitors would suit a DJ?
definitely not iLouds. they start clipping and rumbling at higher volume. I will return them, they are only for low volume accurate listening. get krk or jbl
JBL
iloud is way better in all aspects. (I came here interested in buy the 104 and do not own or have interest in buying the Iloud - too expensive for me)
thanks to your video, I decided not to buy 104, thank you !
Правильно сделал. В реальности они звучат ещё более пластиково, игрушечно и пискляво.
@@benedickcucumber А iLoud Micro Monitor доводилось слушать в живую?
@@Алекс_Лу нет, только jbl. Но на ролике даже слышно, что iloud менее токсичные
104 лютое говнище.
Jbl 104 are good! You should try it yourself and do not based it here. Iloud has front port while 104 has back port, iloud has very great near field sound but 104 has a very rounded sound and if the song is mix properly you will here it as if there right on the speaker. I recommend you to try it in your nearest retailer stores 👍
Have anyone found any inconvenients with iloud micros? I have heard they have some bass port noise occasionally, is this true,?
Yes is true, i sold them because of that
note: 2:00 sample
slowed and looped
You got some room mode at 120hz+-
Thanks for comparison !
obviously iloud better. Listen on headphone you will find JBL is so narrow, muddy and squashed. JBL is more like a consumer speaker
iLOUD is the winner IMO
The 104 are half the price of the ilouds.
my ilouds lack high end
lots of jbl trolls here lolz…its very obvious those ilouds produce less artifacts…the jbl’s passing of excess high’s, the mid’s are being flooded in the process…clean your ear’s people😂
the iloud have very unprecise bass and do lots of rumble, so bass sound as more. but it is fake bass. When compare on headphones in the deep song, the base drum is much longer on iloud play as in the original or JBL.
there is no bass on 104. NO bass.
@@extremumone yes the 104 is weak on low bass. but use the EQ and boost 65 hz with 8 db. then it get same or little more bass as the iloud and the 104 bass stay precise
@@user-lw9py nope!
I disagree with the review. The iLouds have very harsh and fatiguing highs, extremely sibilant and annoying. The JBL 104 have non-existent lows, so piano sounds very thin, and they lack clarity, sounding like a cheap radio. In general, both speakers sound like crap. Get the JBL LSR 305 MKII instead.
Jbl more on low middle around 800-1200khz, and too much sibilands on voice. At all - its hard to listen this jbl 104. Iloud are more balanced but with a little more punch on bass. Of course we need to see microphone amplitude response graphic.
Fuck those ilouds have really idiotic mids
highs are not bad though (better than $1k genelec from other video) that still doesnt nearly compensate for mids
iloud micro
Ilound mm is winner.
i loud goes ahead.
iloud kills
