It depends on the music you listen to the most. The Marshall sounds like it’s built for Rock and vocals, it makes you move the head. While JBL is more for Hip Hop and Bose for Techno. At least is kinda my perspective.
I also have a SONY SRS-XB100 and it sounds really2x good. Also it is loud for it's size. I don't have the 3 other speakers on this review but XB100 is the mini speaker to beat. What's also amazing for XB100 it can make the surface to vibrate, you can really feel the power of this mini speaker!!!
I think the Sony needed to be placed stabbing the correct way because of its driver placements. Especially for bass, it needs to be placed with bottoms on top of a table to sound it's best
I agree. In person that's the best way to listen to it for sure. I originally did the audio test with it vertical, but on camera it sounded extremely muffled since the sound projects up instead of forward like the other speakers.
@@dotunmakun I absolutely agree. I was going to say that. I heard the Sony in a store and it sounded better. It uses the table as a soundboard. So this video didn’t do it justice but still I think it might be the weakest of the 4 in terms of sound anyway so the result is still relevant. But it is definitely worth the price being the cheapest.
best speaker review channel, i just saw jbl clip 4 vs sb sony again and was going to see this vid again, both again because they are two most benificial vid of all what i ever see about this topic . But this the vid doesn't have your face so the previous time i didn't known this is your vid, but this time i just saw the channel part and so suprised.
I tell you: CLIP5 plays LOUD ! It gives nice , rich sound and it is durable[once it fell off a shelf , 2metres, nothing wrong with it now:) ] I own Clip2[but not only] as well and I regard the line my favourite among JBL ones.
I’ve tried the jbl 4 and clip 5. They sound a little harsh at high volumes. Even when you adjust the EQ. Planning on comparing the Marshall Willen and Sony Xb100. If I don’t like those maybe I’ll try out the Bose micro or tribit micro 2
When it comes to utility the clip 5 blows all of these out if the water. I regularly ride my bicycle on miles of trail. The clip 5 having the clip is super useful and i can clip to multiple areas on my bike. Its also perfectly loud enough for me to listen to my music while not bothering others. I prefer it over headphones so i can still hear cars and those crazy fast as f$%k road bikers speeding past me. It handles rain mud and dirt with ease, and if i want to hike i can just hook it to my belt loop. You can maje arguments that the other speakers sound better, but the clip 5 is a rugged beast so far.
@@jamiefinlay6674 I would say Bose but I bought it and a few days later it started having power issues. It wouldn't turn on until I plugged it in and it was charged but with the plug it cut in and out so I returned it. No issues with the Sony so far
Thanks for the discorey and review of the Willen! I didn't even know that Marshall had left one such a gem nearly 2 years ago! 🤯 I'm even considering buying two to use them in stereo like my Tribit Micro 2 😬
Hard to beat Marshall, its clarity is superb, maybe creative speakers will compare with it as they sound more natural and specialize in audio/computer tech.
i prefer the jbl clip 5. i like the sound in it a lot better and if i need to i can use the custom eq. i have the jbl 660 live and go 3 for my walks but the go 3 bounces around to much an then the speaker gets covered and with the wattage, i have to have it on like 70% and then the battery dies quickly.
Bose soundlink micro balanced sound is good and it saves energy also charges lst longer, however microusb… no ty to f old . Today I found Srhythm K1 Wireless Bluetooth Speaker, Bluetooth 5.3, IPX7 only costs 50 bux on amz… and gonna buy that to my electric scooter check it out and ty for ur great review
@@gtbigdog3507 indeed! Ive had some amazing small Bluetooth speakers from the UE Roll to the Minirigs 2.1 and the Tribit is a serious contender. It's also the smallest yet best sounding. Especially when you tune the sound with the app to unlock it's real potential. I actually am going to get one more for some beautiful/portable stereo sound on the go, while I'm biking
I had one and thought it was great, however after about 6 months it just quit working. Zero sound would come out of it. I still have it but it still doesn’t work
For me the Marshall Willem was the cleanest sound by far, and the bose was pretty great as well... But at my local best buy the clip 5 was half the price of those and, more importantly, it was purple. 🤷♀️
For me these the numbers for quality sounds 1. Marshall willen (High quality detailed clean and louder sound 2. Bose SoundLink micro (clean sound although disappointed for charging port) 3. Sony SRS-XB100 (great for balanced sound, even has a punchy & deep bass) 4. JBL clip 5 (impressive for louder sound)
I think that Tribit StormBox Micro 2 should be added to this list and right before the SoundLink Micro (MicroUSB in 2024 🙈 I sold them nearly 2 years ago for that reason)
Thanks for narrowing down my options! These 4 speakers were in my comparison list and I’m glad to have found your video on them! Now it’s just between JBL and Bose for me; wonder which has better bass when comes to hip hop/ club music. I personally like to use Black Eyed Peas music to test the bass and overall sound as I find their sound dynamic and not focused on a type of sound. But obviously I’m not a sound/music pro but this is just my preference. I wonder if anyone here hast tested based on these and can help me out. Thanks in advance!
Thank you for another comprehensive comparison video!! For me: 1. JBL 2. Sony, and it works as a speaker phone. No point even considering the Bose because of the micro USB. Totally unacceptable in 2024!!
I sold my Bose because of the micro usb. We need to include the Tribit in the conversation. I do like my Sony and keep it in my home work station because of the phone feature
@@gtbigdog3507 - me too with the Sony's and I have a pair, that stereo set up makes them sound even better!! I think micro USB in 2024 is so outdated and Bose should have changed it by now!! How hard would it be to change it to USB C?!?

That sony speaker shouldn't be placed like that, it should be placed vertically for the passive radiator which is firing downward for the bass output, if you have put like that, then it would be the most bassiest speaker out of this bunch!
I know it's not designed to be laid down. I originally did the sound test with it vertical, and it sounded extremely muffled compared to the other speakers. I Figured facing the driver towards the camera would be the better way to compare.

There's nothing rich about it Sony xb100 has much more bass and fuller sound of positioned correctly
@@darrenwipf9868 I cannot deny your say, I have not heard the Sony yet.
Clip 5 is definitely loud!
@@CEONTHEMAKING Once I turned it on, I thought it played louder than my good friend Charge2:)
I got the Marshall Willin II yesterday. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT.
I'll pick the Sony with all things considered including the mic that I see the reviews giving a thumbs up to. The Clip 5 was a bit irritating.
I agree👍 💯
Does Sony xb100 have aux input?
The Sony XB 100 cuts the cake for me!. Its sound is fuller, although not as bright sounding, I find it more balanced troughout the full range.
I’ve tried the jbl 4 and clip 5. They sound a little harsh at high volumes. Even when you adjust the EQ. Planning on comparing the Marshall Willen and Sony Xb100. If I don’t like those maybe I’ll try out the Bose micro or tribit micro 2

How many times can I drop my clip 5 since it's happened 2 so far?
Stuck between Bose and Sony any recommendations
You should get the JBL clip 3

The clip 5 blew them all away, that was NOTICEABLY better, and given that it’s also a lot more affordable, seems like a no brainer

Don't.... you can't get stereo with two. You can get "party mode."
Marshall clean and best sound signature
Why no soundcore select series? I have soundcore select 4 and the sound quality is at par or beter than jbl clip 5 and the price a lot cheaper
Marshall willen is the father of all speakers 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Excellent review brother❤

For the cost of 1 Bose Micro you can get 2 SonyXB100s and still have $40 left over.
Marshall and Sony well balanced. Sony. The xb100 should not be flipped like that. It can be best enjoyed straight. Sound diffusing technology.

JBL Clip 5 for me, my next speaker😍
can you please try the wisetiger Q60P, I think this speaker is better than go 3
I think JBL really needs to have a speaker phone feature with their new range of BT portable speakers!! 💯
Sorry all but the Tribit StormBox Micro 2 kicks all these other speakers a$$e$ lol plus they're only like 59 bucks!
I have two of the Tribit. I also have the Sony and the JBL clip 4. The Tribit is a very strong speaker.

You can link Marshal to other speakers too
