    W-King D8 Mini full review and comparison with the JBL Charge 4 and Tribit Maxsound Plus. The D8 Mini is the little brother to the 50 watt W-King D8 but has 30 watts of power. What does this £40 budget Bluetooth portable speaker bring to the table. Is this the best budget portable speaker?

      for sheer audio quality yes, but not everyone cares about that. This has its place though its not for me. I got a second one but the upper bass is just too much.

    you don't have to be a fan of one person to appreciate their work. in this case I can only honestly take off my hat. Doing so much effort to create meaningful tests and comparisons (although we are in the budget speaker area) is really great! You do that very well. 🦾 👌🏻

    Bought one that is similar to this in UAE through amazon and it goes by a name Promate. Used it mostly for gym and it was loud enough I don't need a new one. Bought is for 1/2 the price of a jbl clip 5 and 1/3 of a jbl charge 4. Best purchase ever. No regrets. Thanks for this reveiw it helped me decide what to buy. You just saved me a week of

    Very thorough review. Thank you. I own a Bugani M83 and like most of these speakers with micro sd card capability there is usually no "random play" mode meaning that music tracks always start at track no.1. So, If you have 100's of tracks on a card you'll rarely get to hear most of them unless you listen solidly for days! Surely it wouldn't be impossible for manufacturers to incorporate a random play button for greater flexibility/versatility without too much of a price hike.

    • @alanrossreviews
      @alanrossreviews  3 роки тому

      To be honest im surprised sd play is still even a thing. But yeah if they are going to give this feature random should be the default mode.
