    i have both speakers, the jbl is better for low listening levels with more clarity but when it comes to a barby and outdoor partys out doors the w-king blows the jbl away end of thats why i bought two for less than the price of a jbl xtreme or even three because they all pair ;)

    When you’re doing the W King D8 volume tests are you adjusting volume via your device or the Bluetooth speaker. Only asking because I noticed if the D8 is at 100% and device say is at 20% it’s very bass heavy. However I noticed that if the speaker is about 20% and the device is at 100% it isn’t as bass heavy. Not sure why, thought I was going crazy but now depending on my listening preference at lower volumes I end up doing the latter for late night listening.

    • @alanrossreviews

    Hello Alan, in the time 2:42 where you show us the specs, about the POWER, I wanna know: How do you know that is 30W in DC and 50W in AC mode?.
    Because in the JBL web, in the datasheets they only write about the power in AC mode that is 50W RMS, but never mention the power in DC mode.
    How do you know????

    • @alanrossreviews
      @alanrossreviews  3 роки тому

      i dont, i think i said im guessing at what the equivalence is. they used to openly say it was 30 watts for the xtreme 2 and 1 so maybe its higher now but it doesnt matter, we know how loud it goes anyway.

    I also think JBL is overpriced, it sounds good but it's 300 euros.
    I have a Dockin D Fine now, which is a little more expensive than the W-king but sounds great to me.
    And the Dockin also offers speakers at affordable prices.
    I don't deny the D Fine 2+ 200 euros, it's not that cheap anymore.
    But the basic versions go around 100-120 euros, the whole friendly price.
    D FIne + was on sale on Black Friday.
    It was sold for 90 Euros and will arrive here on Tuesday next week.
    So you could say it was a good deal to buy: D

    I think that the D8 sounds way better, more controlled, by aux cable (connecting to the laptop for example) than the bluetooth mode. Anyway for the price is still amazing value. The extreme 3 has a better bass than the D8 (in bluetooth mode), but is too expensive for what it offers.

    A more difficult but very interesting test would be the D9 against itself or should I say against a pair of itself. Reason is that the internal cavity is shared, so how does that affect it's single unit performance vs if they are running with a single channel per individual unit? I'd think it'd be cleaner as 2 individual units. I'm also thinking that a separate independent passive driver per individual woofer makes more sense rather than a shared single passive driver per dual competing woofers. Instead of a tug-of-war for one large passive driver they should remain separate internally but the D9 is not This theory could be confirmed if they are tested as a single unit and then as a pair. This also assumes that the drivers are wired correctly in the same phase by the manufacturer. Someone on YT mentioned that one of their D8 was wired out of phase with the other speaker internally which is a quality control issue.

    I have to constantly remind myself that a speaker is not a monitor, a speaker is not a monitor, as speaker is not a monitor. Monitors are supposed to be completely flat and neutral with zero listener fatigue after 8 hours in the studio. A speaker can literally be anything else and it's never wrong. A speaker is an independent instrument within and of itself and it can color the sound anyway it wants to. I keep approaching many reviews expecting the speaker to perform like a studio monitor. It's not a monitor. So it can sound like anything it wants to and not be wrong. Of course some speakers sound better or preferred over others. If they do perform like a studio monitor then we tend to like them more for discerning listening. To impress and/or to annoy others we like our bass overexaggerated with a high end boost. That's when we begin to annoy ourselves unintentionally. That what we call a backfire or fart when your nose is downwind of your rear.

      Your comment demonstrates an incredible level of ignorance. UA-cam compression is nothing to do with the lossless testing i do with the original tracks. I uploaded in the highest format and bitrate youtube allows. Nobody on youtube can avoid the final compression youtube does with every channel. Do some serious research next time if you don't want to come over as a dumsky. Perhaps you were attempting to pass judgement on electronic music but your wording shows you have little knowledge on audio. Electronic music is not inherently compressed, any track can sound compressed depending on its mixing and mastering. However electronic music has the widest bandwidth of any
      Genre. Youre welcome dumsky.
