    Dockin d fine+ mk2 50w bluetooth speaker. Is the German made Dockin D Fine+ mk2 a JBL Xtreme killer? How does it stack up against todays best Bluetooth speakers in 2020? I go over the main specs, tell you the headline features and test things like frequency response, volume levels and different sound modes.
    Tested against the JBL Xtreme 2 and Soundcore Motion Plus.

      i would suggest you all, rather get a jblx xtreme 2 for the same price or even vor 180 euro. OR EVEN BETTER: spend 50 euro more and get the Teufel Rockster Cross (if you live in germany at least or europe i guess). The rockster cross from teufel destroys jbl xtreme 2 and the dockin dfine +2 also of course

    You can easily control the equalizer in your mobile settings or in apps like Spotify. I had the same problem when I was listening in nights while sleeping. Put the volume at 30-40% and lower at the equalizer frequency.

    Sounds nice imo, feels more open than Motion+ and is it just me or does Xtreme 2 do something weird to the vocals? The price kills it for me however.

    • @alanrossreviews
      @alanrossreviews  4 роки тому +1

      the xtreme does have un-natural sounding vocals maybe due to roll off from just 6khz. yes dockin is priced high now, maybe in future that will change. the motion plus is more open in the high end while dockin more open in mids to my ears.

    Bob on timewise for me because I'm looking for a replacement speaker and was considering the D Fine + (price wise lots cheaper) but still wanted to get the low down on this. Pity you didn't start with the original Award Winner because I'm sure Dockin may have sent you a later model for your reviews free of charge. DOCKIN GIVE THIS MAN EARLIER ITERATONS STILL FOR SALE FOR REVIEW!! But for me I could only come to a conclusion about 23 mins in when a clean sounding vocal came in - and the dockin sounded best for that. All the heavily syntesised sounds you use leave me a bit lost because I have no reference - what are they supposed to sound like? It goes 'boom boom' but what is the real 'boom boom' supposed to sound like in Audition or Ableton or whatever. It is a bit abstract for me. Sorry for long comment!

    • @alanrossreviews
      @alanrossreviews  4 роки тому

      yup, whatever i use for test clips someone will say its no good :) these electronic tracks are great because they are complex and i do mix in vocals. I also do the charts. not sure you will find anyone doing much more than this??? i asked Ströer Products who sell the speaker for a review sample, they never replied :)

    Smiley responce makes the speaker more appealing at first but long listen, makes me tired...Ofcourse it depends what kind music we listen to. Just a bit little bit smiley responce is good but mids should remain flat at least...
    I like sound options more, instead of eq...Also dynamic adjustment is really useful and mostly necessary for bt speakers. I love to hear enough bass in low level listening...

    • @alanrossreviews
      @alanrossreviews  4 роки тому +1

      the weird thing is most people prefer a flat sounding speaker because indoors you get some boost with reflections and because hopefully the mix for the track took account of our smiley face hearing. Its weird when you actually follow the chain to see that the reason flat speakers sound best indoors is not because they follow a flat chain, but because they are last element in a chain that is far from flat, if you see what i mean. Thus the harman curve being anything but flat. 😱

      @alanrossreviews  3 роки тому

      2x motion plus. dockin is a bit niche with its warm rich detailed lower mids but isnt an all rounder. it has bigger bass than the m+ but the m+ is more open and clear and with two you have nice stereo.

      can only comment on this mk2 and bass for me is very well controlled, nice weight and nice resolution. some clarity is lacking due to 1-4khz dip but i love the strongs upper bass and lower mids, i was looking for a speaker strong in that area.
