Very details review thank you. Felt your music choices were very similar. Some acoustic and some rock would have given a wider impression of capability.
A lot of people will purchase a Bluetooth speaker because it has big bass and cutting mids. However, when you're actually listening to a speaker for a long period of time at normal volume, you want warmth. It doesn't fatigue the ears near as much as a sharp sound does. I've owned a ton of different Bluetooth speakers over the years and I listen to music almost continuously at talking volume in the house. A speaker like the Marshall that provides a very warm sound will allow you to listen for a lot longer.
Got the middleton last week for 250. Absolutely worth it. Sounds great, and the 360 feature really helps to fill the space with sound. Bass and trebble adjustments should be available on every speaker.
Me too,i got my middleton on amazon for 299 bucks but the good thing is i didnt payed it full. I payed for $60 for 5mos so im good. And the sounds is superb. I know Jbl xyreme 3 has an impressive bass and massive loudness but the middleton delivers clarity and clear sound 😉
Got the Xg-300 $200 at bestbuy. Great video brother. I was going to get the JBL but for 200$ more it wasn’t worth it. Been happy with the Sony. I have upgraded Sony audio in my Ford Escape which I love. You made a subscriber out of me. Keep it up my man.
Nice and informative video. At this very moment I am trying to decide if I need to upgrade my small sized speaker coz I need a lot more oomph! Torn between the JBL xtreme 3 and the sony xg300 but leaning towards the sony more. I have read some comments here that if you tweak the equalizer, they should sound amlost identical. Already got the marshall emberton for casual listening around the house and jbl clip 4 for outdoors. So I will give sony a chance to be my mid sized speaker. Hope I won't regret it😆
@@jalajrastogi5353 it's a definite yes. Tested them both multiple times but I like the rumbling deep bass on the sony much better compared to the punchy bass on the JBL. I have been using the sony XG300 for a few weeks now and following the recommendation for a 25hr battery life and it impressed me so far. Been playing for about 22hrs total now with around 40 percent left on the battery. Volume wise(following the recommended settings for 25hr battery life), it is loud enough, been using it arround the house all areas. Always been a JBL fan but I went for sony on this one and I never regret it👌
@@jalajrastogi5353 it all depends on our preference I think. For me I would like to use this speaker more indoors as I don't have any listening fatigue due to more highs and mids emphasis(although you could alter the settings as long as the speaker has equalizer). If I would go outdoors more often then I would definitely buy the JBL. Bottom line, for me, JBL is built for outdoors and sony for indoors. It all depends on each persons preferrence at the end👌
Greatest review ever. New subscriber here. I got the extreme 2. Couldn't effort the extreme 3. Can you please do a review on tribit stormbox blast 90 watt?
It's the Marshall Middleton all day long. I've owned both. The sound of the Middleton blows away the JBL. I don't care what it cost. It's totally worth it.
you never owned a xtreme 3. Concluded. Or you must be listening with a volume of 35 percent coz Marshall Middleton takes the lead over X3 in bass at only 35 percent. After that to 80 to 100 percentage all the bass lies below X3
Good PC stereo speakers like Creative actually provide more (real sound experience) than headphones. I know all these videos suggest headphones but its you don't feel the bass as much and how it sounds through your body, whereas through good speakers you feel it and not just hear it through your ears, so headphones isn't always best to mimic the actual sound of the speakers tested or shown.
Купил вчера эту колонку, на первый взгляд звуком не довольный. Игрался эквалайзером но вчеравно не то. Играет как в бочке. Попробую сегодня на улице, может там другое восприятие будет. Маленькая старенькая колонка srs - xb31 как то приятнее звучит. Попробую еще поиграться с настройками
I got the Sony speaker for 2 months now... I can't get enough of it. Got it on sale and it was worth every dollar. Love the warm classic sound as if it comes from vinyl. Great video, salute.
Thank you for the test! It helped me a lot! I think I will choose Sony because have no cash for Marshall and after years with JBL I feel it laud but shrill. I just found a great online deal.
I don't like how SONY is uncomfortable with wattage rating for it's speakers, (at least this model for sure, no specs anywhere on watts power on there website). Would you say this sounds as loud as a 60 Watt Speaker? (it's hard to tell through UA-cam on laptop speakers)
They don't advertise the wattage because it's almost always lower than the competition. Instead they focus on overall sound presence. I know because I buy a lot of Sony electronics for years now.
I got the jbl boombox 2. And it comes with a EQ setting on the app and the bass on boombox2 sound tollly amzing to. I am still happy with my jbl boombox 2 However I still love the jbl boombox 3 and the sony x 500.
Xtreme 3 is the clear winner for me. The XG-300 sounded good but the JBL is just brighter and separates the sounds nicely, especially vocals and hi-hats. That being said, the XG-300 has the most natural, "warm" sound with a much more flat EQ, so probably best for movies and TV. The Middleton came last for me, not that it's a bad sound but the other two just sounded better.
I’ve been looking for a speaker like these but with FM radio for use outdoors at a drive in movie theater. Any recommendation to check out for that use?
Don't forget aux capability. Pick a small FM radio of sorts and connect it to your speaker of choice. Get a cheap Sansa Clip. The 3.5 cord is your antenna. And they have plenty of battery life to last through a movie.
I like your style of how you produce your videos. But bro, those sound tracks were IMHO terrible! No bass whatsoever? So how can we compare which speaker has better bass? Also you gotta throw some 80s grooves and Classic rock? The song samples killed this whole test. Sorry man just being honest, each speaker sound was like it was coming from a shoe box.
Done I really loved portable speaker.and for this comparison. Design: marshall “classic look” Ruggedness:i go for sony and jbl. I loved your review sir!❤
I will admit the XG300 sounds muffled out of the box. I don’t agree with the clear choice audio with mega bass being default. With the app for EQ I have treble almost all the way up. Mids are plus 4 and bass is plus 3. I’ve been listening to this way for the past couple days on went back to default and admit the settings “clear choice” out of the box is just bad. I went to Walmart to compare with the xtreme 3 and was almost identical

Marshall emberton 2 overhere it sounds amazing for it's size!
Thank you SO much! This is exactly what I needed to see & hear, to make my purchase decision. A very well put together video
What did you choose?
I went with the JBL. I got a super deal on Amazon. I’ve been very happy with it.

Does the low rumble bass hearable outdoors? Planning to buy middleton upgrading from c5
I had a Middleton, it distorted heavy after 70/80% and after 70% loses all bass, such a disappointment of a speaker. And I own about 6 speakers.
i line your review 👍🏿
i think marshall is the best one hands down

Vielen Dank für das Video, sehr aufschlussreich.
Middleton for bass and nice design, sony for warm sounding
Got Middleton last week, didn’t produced adequate bass with high volume, it lacks by a big margin, so looking out for jbl or sony
@@sahibgill5458 Middleton only gives good bass at moderate volume. mid and treble are nothing special
I got the Sony speaker for 2 months now... I can't get enough of it. Got it on sale and it was worth every dollar. Love the warm classic sound as if it comes from vinyl.
Great video, salute.
Definitely bro! I wasn't super impressed when it originally came out for $350. But lately I've seen it as low as $200, which is definitely a steal!
@@CEONTHEMAKING exactly! Here in Canada it is priced at $499. I got it for $199. That's a lottery win for the quality it produce.
@@ChristopherBernard88 wow! That is a good price! Here in Australia it sells for 480 but I bought it for 280aud on sale
I just bought not one, 2 of them after watching a lot of reviews@@RaymundTrojillo
One of my favorite Channel. Because of only one thing that honest review ❤. Honestly am a Sony, Jbl, Marshall Fanboy 😊
😁
Thank you for the test! It helped me a lot! I think I will choose Sony because have no cash for Marshall and after years with JBL I feel it laud but shrill. I just found a great online deal.
Glad it helped!
How’s the bass with sony ? Is it keeping up on high volume?
Super explications, merci 👍
i got the sony speaker and it did not satisfy me i’m going back and changing it for a marshall

I was all jbl until the boom box 2. The. I went back to sony. Still rocking my xg500, gtb x90, and now looking at the xg300...
I own the xg300 and I'm very happy. Whit the last update it sounds better.
Wounderful review again.
the sony wins by a long shot because its the one i own
Are there any updates on JBL Charge 6 and Extreme 4
Extreme 4 is available right now.
Great comparison.
Done! This might not be relevant but do you know anything about car speakers? I really want to upgrade my speakers on my truck and need some guidance
Done. I'm loving these video bro
Thank you bro
In india sony 300 expensive then extreme 3 so which one will be better speaker and deal ?
Which one have you bought then ? Please do let me know.
I'm confused between Marshall & Sony.
@@sjsasnagarBuy the marshall is amazing.
Right now sony is 14k and jbl is 19k from Amazon

JBL Tuner FM. Never tried it myself, but it has FM radio.

Onn boombox at Walmart has fm radio for $68

I went to the marshall store i test this i like it but no strap like jbl extreme 3 anddd the price of jbl here is $200usd ill buy it tommorow
Extreme 3 or middleton?
Hi bro!!!
If possible could you please do a video comparison of Middleton vs Acton 3
Love from India
I don't really like the bluetooth speakers as they are not close to my audiophile taste but I prefer middleton over the other two.
Overall value, EXTREME 3 is the way to go. When using the included A/C charging adapter, you're getting 100 watts.
@@jedolivier2688 higher wattage does not mean it does sound better tho.
Actually XTREME 3.
What's your favorite bro?!
Hard to pick! Lol
The middleton , it looks cool
The Middleton gets the ribbon 🎀
Marshall Middleton💗💗💗
Sony is great because u can pair more than just 2 speakers. That alone has my vote, they all sound good. JBL missed the boat on that angle.
Jbl has partyboost and Marshall has stack mode
Marshall pair 60 devices😊
Sony sounds good
Done
I really loved portable speaker.and for this comparison.
Design: marshall “classic look”
Ruggedness:i go for sony and jbl.
I loved your review sir!❤
Which of these 3 speakers has 2 channel audio? I don't prefer mono and 360 audio.
Jbl wins the soundtest
I bought the Marshall and it's insane. Marshall its classy and the bass is superb!
Good giveaway headphones, Done
Bose .?
Tribit the best
Great
I am from india, Middleton costing me 390$ and as low as 315$. May i go for it?
Go for it the sound is amazing.
@@9_9_13 hey I have an option for kilbourn 2 and Middleton, which is best, costing me almost same
You can also go for marshall acton 3..tribit stormbox blast for deep bass

In case someone watching this comment is not aware, but the SONY lowered there price now to 200.00:
$104 at Target now marked down from $349! Hundred bones for this speaker, it wasn’t even a question!
