    For young ppl outdoor music blasting wich is better, onyx7 or xb43? Whats the real battery time for those 2? I have xb43 wich is still having some % in the morning (going out nigh and going home morning)

    • @TheAscendedTechNinja
      @TheAscendedTechNinja  2 роки тому +1

      I would get the XB43 but for outdoor use but I wouldn't pick either one. The reason is the XB 43 only plays at max volume for 30 minutes and it automatically decrease the volume and it does this around 5 times then once you reach 20% it will consistently tell you to charge the speaker and the Studio 7 battery is just awful 1 hour 30 minutes at max

      No was not surprising because Sony had to compete against the Onyx Studio 7 with its bad out of the box sound. I even find that the Onyx Studio 7 sounds identical to the jbl boombox 2 and that's why I find both speakers perfect for indoor use and sony for Indoor too bass heavy and outdoor areas stronger as jblb2 and hs7, but only stronger at high volumes with dolby or poweramp to raise the treble and the bass deeper to boost.

      Upper Bass, ou "graves secos", na nossa linguagem, é o que a Sony tem de melhor! Estou pra ver uma caixa portátil da Sony que responda ao menos 50Hz bem.. Não tem! Muito menos abaixo dessa frequência.. A Onyx Studio leva a melhor em ambientes internos e nos graves e subgraves + qualidade de agudos e voz (médios) limpíssimos. A Sony leva a melhor em ambientes externos, volume, bateria, e nos graves mais "secos", que ajudam a preencher melhor o espaço em ambientes mais abertos. O som em geral da Sony é abafado, mas tem quem goste.
