@@vlatkomrvelj3081 until it blows out a woofer. No more boom boom for the cheaper speaker. I understand wanting to go for the cheaper priced speaker but Chinese branded speakers are so piss poor quality that if you're dumb enough to buy 3 of them because they could totally destroy a JBL boom box 3 then you get what you pay for. 3 shitty Chinese speakers that will fail and fall. They don't answer to anyone. No warranty. You're fucked.
@@CrashBack7 Dude, i personally have a boombox 3 and i am happy with it, but you cant be running around saying every other speaker is chinese rubbish that will blow out. No, the x20 wont blowout, the guys behind the product are real experts and, as a fact, making a bluetooth battery powered speaker is not sci-fi in 2024. Its a great product for a much lower price that will make people rethink about spending much more on a JBL!
Hello from Brazil. It's really difficult to choose the best between wking x20 and bombox 3. the maximum volume of both is similar. the bombox in some songs seems to have more quality and detail. but the wking seems to be fuller and maintain more sub-bass at maximum volume. So I think it depends on the listener whether they prefer a little more detail or a little more sub-bass at high volumes. The funny thing is that here in Brazil the bombox 3 is normally sold, but the wking x20 is only imported and then it is MUCH more expensive than a bombox 3 here. Brazil is rubbish.
Yo compré primero el JBL boombox 3, después ver los números de potencia de W king 20 lo compre y si es mejor el W king 20 que eljbl boombox 3, me gusta mucho el JBL boombox 3, pero el W king 20 es superior., el lo que es mejor el JBL boombox 3 es que se puede conectar a la luz y eso quiere decir que después de que la batería caduque segura funcionando por el cable.
If you’ve just purchased the X20, they’re going to show an available firmware update. It’ll read 2.4.2. Don’t install this update. When I first got mine, I adjusted the 10 band EQ with bass boost off, & had it sounding really good. The bass was smooth, the mids were crystal clear & detailed, with smooth sounding highs. After installing the update, the sound was somewhat dull,flat, & almost muddy sounding. I used same phone, same music, same music app, & the exact same EQ setting.
blast for more serious indoor and x20 for party outdoor fun. depends what you want, x20 certainly will dig deeper so if its all about the bass then x20 wins for sure. but two blasts? hummmm
@@stormlight1553 That's good to know. I just got the Blast like a week and a half ago, and I'm waiting on the X20 to compare. I was contemplating keeping both, using the X20 outside. But if I can EQ it to get some decent sound out of it, I may return the Blast.
I think it's a pretty impressive result from W-King. Not perfect by any stretch but a good showing. I see some significant discounts on it as well where I'm at which further improves the value. Thank you for another awesome review and comparison, Alan! 😁👍👏
Whelp, I watched this video again and went and bought one of these things but not for music actually. I have been looking for a battery powered bass practice amp and pretty much everything I am finding is just a guitar practice amp rebranded for bass. This seems to go down to 40 hz sorta so I am hoping this can handle a 4 string decently and at least maybe be able to hear the low B on a 6 string enough for practice. This thing is heavy but it would be a LOT easier to lug around than my old 50 Lbs Hartke practice amp and battery powered as well. Watching the results of their "10 band EQ" it almost seems like maybe the DSP only really has a 5 band and they are combining sliders behind the scenes in the app...
Thanks for another great review. W-King seem to be producing some real contenders. I love my T9 (following your recommendation). The T9 Pro looks interesting (although big and heavy). I think Sir Tommy Steele is still with us!
Would love to see a review of Philips tas7807b. Listened to it locally and was quite amazed with its sound! Not loud, but very balanced with tons of deep bass.
Alan, The internet is absolutely desperate for someone to plug a guitar into the X 20! Webmasters have informed me they have no reference and our future A I. Overlords are not pleased...

Can you tell me if the W-King X20 has latency in its AUX IN, if you connect a musical instrument there, is it possible to play the instrument connected to the AUX IN, without latency? I know that this model already has a LINE IN for Guitar, but I would like to see if the AUX IN works without latency. I've already tried it on JBL and it doesn't work, JBL's AUX IN has a lot of latency and it's impossible to use it to play an instrument.
I've been waiting so long for this review. Is the x20 on the newest firmware? I hope W-king can fix these eq issues with a software update. Are you ever going to use a custom eq on the x20?
Have this speaker it only has one down side they forgot to put the led in the back panel other than that it’s a 10/10 since the update the bass is much rounder and smother than when first released
I hope you can reply. I have watched several of your videos. Would you still recommend the soundcore motion boom??? I see you have it listed as former champion
hey bro, yes the motion boom is absolutely recommended. I bought it a month ago and its awesome for indoors. For outdoors maybe you would need something bigger, like partybox 110.
Alan ,with the right EQ adjustments can you make the W-King sound better… if so can you show me the EQ settings like you did on the soundcore boost and boom?
Alan, your settings on the SC Boom gave it a clear warm sound with an emphasis on deep bass. That’s what I’m looking to do on the WKing , make it clearer but have that warm deep bass sound…. Basically make it sound better than the JBL BBx 3. In all the videos I watched the WKing x20 always sounded a little muffled/ muddy compared to the JBL BBx3. But, regardless let me know if you can set the EQ to assist with this and what your settings would be…Thanks!

Hi Alan you are the best your reviews are the best. After your review I bought Stormbox Blast (great speaker) and now W-king x20 beast much louder than Stormox. Can you make a video of your eq on the x20? Also if you can test the W-king D320?
Sonova beach... I googled W-King X20 to check the price and nothing showed up. Had to do much digging then I found out it is called the D20 here in thailand (comes with mics and all that bs) and cheapest price here is around 210 usd after conversion. Alan, can you come up with an eq to try flatten the response? You reckon that is possible with the built in eq? Could the eq get you within 2 or 3db max?
im not sure, when i saw how the bands worked i didnt want to try it 😝 seems you can stick a lot of the highs back just by selecting a single slider though. another day i will try but i have things I want to get through first.
Your Majesty, thank you for another unbiased review. Also, please be so kind and advise as to whether I should buy Soundcore Motion + or Soundcore Motion Boom. The aim is clarity and neutral sound over boominess etc. Therefore I assume I should pick up Motion + but I will be much obliged if you chimed in. The reason I ask is that both those speakers are now priced very favourably so I have to pick one of them. Kind regards, Maciek
Got 2 4s and older sub 3 sounds great, say when compared to a blast the clarity and bass on high gain is something.else. Not seeing many reviews, but just one mini rig on its own doesn't really cut it,so I get why people buy these boom boxes if you like something to dominate your space. Great there's so much choice today though.
I wasn't familiar with "W-king" until recently, (living under a rock) so got my hands on the ~W-king D9-1 and I've decided its a brand worth investing my time in. I'm in process of getting the t9 pro , but after the that , its gotta be the W-king X20! and I've noticed with each release since the W-king "D9-1" model they've gotten better as a brand and each speaker release has gotten better. thanks for doing what you do! your videos couldn't keep me more interested in the process! from product review ,to comparisons ,personal opinion, pricing ,tuning, apps, and of course sound tests! ha. ill be seeking this next for sure. I've got the bang max and some new info on that including the halo200 ill email you , ill be doing my best to get my hands on a W-king X20 for sure! thanks again for info ,your time and opinion etc. Greatly appreciated-rich
thanks for watching and your support 👍 at least now we have the app we know what firmwares we are comparing. sadly lots of the past w-kings you were in the laps of the gods as to what firmware you get.
There are two updates released for the soundcore Boom2 recently (3.11), which changes a lot. The overall experience is much better now than before. Can You guess or say what was improoved without reading release notes? I'm verry excited 😁
@@alanrossreviews No, i'm serious. Nothing has changed with EQ or something. But the Boom2 is a much better speaker now. I'm not kidding you. Tipp: Listen to musik at very low volume, before and after the update...
@@alanrossreviews OK, i think you didn't noticed it... The Boom 2 had bass issues at low volume, 30% and lower, especialy with bass heavy EDM. The bass came and went uncontrolled...The Boost Upgraded and the old Motion Boom, they have the same problem. But for the Boom2 it's finally fixed and you can also use it for listening at low levels now 👍
@@TommyM3wow, this is really nice! I don't really like how it sounds on low levels, so I am excited for the new firmware. Unfortunately I don't have the new version in the app yet, maybe it will take a few days.
@@confess2god Maybe it depends on the country. Stay tuned, i'm sure it will released soon also for you. The bass issues on low levels were allready fixed with version 3.10. 3.11 was released yesterday. Not really sure what the difference is, but i think it has a bit more bass on high volume now👍 But as i said, i' m not really sure...
Bass boost kills the x20 abolsoutely shouldnt be there bit Alan this is my newest favorite speaker I stay away from bass boost tune in app it hits harder and cleaner and deeper lol but when they're available again on amazon I'm grabbin a 2nd have had it for 1 month and love it more and more that I use it... also alan I'm only bout halfway thru your vid but hopin ya share your own custom eq !!!! Please!!!! I have 2 one for bass heavy music and 1 for all my other stuff 50s 60s 70s rock n roll blues ... green grass and nighties by the outlaws sounds fn awesome those screaming guitars and bass it is badass and I now do not regret returning the bb3 wifi one bit and got that on sale for 399.99 during black friday this is so simple to use plus this summer I can bring my iniu portable 26mah charger and fast charge this speaker on the go
@@alanrossreviews that def could be I guess ya never know ya hope for quality across the board in their production but i do think they killed it with the unit I got. Absolutely love it but was one update too just last week to my ears and not changing anything in the app as to how I had it set I'd swear it has gotten a tad bit deeper bass even but at end of everyday I'm just a music junkie mailman out workin in the fn rain today ahahahaga but alan as usual man you do a phenomenal job ... also always wish you the best and thank you for makin my shitty day in the rain much more enjoyable... my selfish side would love to see ya really fine tune it to your liking and then same wuth the lil 3 band in jbl app to see amd hear what's what on your graphs but again that's just me bein a selfish bastard ahahahahahaha
The X20 was designed to perform well outdoors, while the BB3 performs better indoors, while being plugged in getting the full 180 watts & placed near a wall.
The dust proof speaker usually have thick fabric that protect outside part (woofer) of the speaker from dust. If it only have waterproof rating, then usually it have metal/plastic grill that dust can still enter the outside part (woofer) of the speaker like partybox or soundcore motion+. That's based on my speaker collection that have ipx7,ipx4 and ip68.
yeah when you open up these ipx7 speakers after giving them a soaking they are still full of water that takes time to dry out. but the drivers are not damaged by it. dustproof is another matter, you cant have any ingress.
I just got the tronsmart bang max and it sounds amazing. How ? in most comparisons with jbl, tribit etc. it sounds bad ....well the answer is the custom eq via the app. It makes a huge diference.
@@alanrossreviews i don't know much about eq description but from a scale -12 - 12, i have the next setting: 6-12-2-2-10 ( all numbers positive) starting from the bass to treble
I just love music I’ll buy all of the speakers I like. I currently have the X20, Bang Max, Tribit stormblast, W-KING D10, JBL Charge 5, pulse 4, and I’m about to get the Harman Kardon Go + play 3 and then I’m all set I don’t need anymore…maybe
i get a few pennies but its not much. on average they say 1 million views get you $1000 so you can see how little a few thousand views gets you. this is why when channels grow big enough that they think they want to do it full time they are so tempted to become shills just to get some money in.
Thank you, Alan. I was about to grab an X20 from Amazon till I watched this review again, yes the whole review. I already have the Boombox 3 but the X20 looked like good buy but not good enough.
no i dont think so? maybe i said i cant get it in UK? but i got w-king to send me one from amazon usa and i just had to pay the postage and import duty.
thanks for reply mr ross. big fan love your style! Thats what i figured i had both and compared them extensively and came to the conclusion the wking is louder but the rounded out frequencies of the bb3 wifi just seemed more pleasant and refined to my ears however the wking would probably be better for outdoor use and the bb3 for imdoor anyways keep up the great work youv'e inspired me to give hk go play +3 a try next for a bit more of critical listening @@alanrossreviews
Well, does pairing the boom 2 with another boom 2 make it a sub woofer though? Can someone answer answer this important question for new speaker lovers like myself. I want to buy two of them if they do
nope! pairing two does not give you deeper bass BUT pairing two will go louder so at equivalent loudness two will sound as though they go deeper simply because of more bass boost at lower volume steps.
@@rahannn on the x20? Same reason they dont have ldac, these are built cheap and piled high, no budget for licence fees and features target market are not likely to use on the go.
@@alanrossreviews it’s clear now, thanks 🙏 one last thing tho, what do you think about Dolby atmos support? Jbl has it, but does it make any difference?
This pretty cool. If I recall correctly W-King H10 was quite a beast compared to the BB3 at maximum volume as well. So its neat that with this X20 W-King was able to follow suit on that. It's always more interesting when you review speakers outside of JBL and Sony - being well established you don't expect any surprises from those brands (which I suppose is why many seem to go for them).
@@alanrossreviews Have you seen people using a Sony XG/XE speaker? I've not seen anyone use one. I've come across plenty of people using either an XB43 or XB41.
the onyx series doesnt go loud so x20 for volume would destroy the o5 but bass yes at lower volumes it would be a different story. o5 warmer overall too.

@@alanrossreviews its a bit of a balancing act that one caused by the low q. Think its doable though, just need some time.
A kings fool more like it
The equalizer of the boombox 3 is in flat
in default
Your Majesty, thank you for another unbiased review. Also, please be so kind and advise as to whether I should buy Soundcore Motion + or Soundcore Motion Boom. The aim is clarity and neutral sound over boominess etc. Therefore I assume I should pick up Motion + but I will be much obliged if you chimed in. The reason I ask is that both those speakers are now priced very favourably so I have to pick one of them. Kind regards, Maciek
Yes plus for clarity boom for bass. Some prefer boom 2 but i prefer og boom. 👑 👑👑
Alan, thank you very much. I just ordered Motion Plus. Cheers
Minirig 4?😢
Got 2 4s and older sub 3 sounds great, say when compared to a blast the clarity and bass on high gain is something.else. Not seeing many reviews, but just one mini rig on its own doesn't really cut it,so I get why people buy these boom boxes if you like something to dominate your space. Great there's so much choice today though.
I wasn't familiar with "W-king" until recently, (living under a rock) so got my hands on the ~W-king D9-1 and I've decided its a brand worth investing my time in. I'm in process of getting the t9 pro , but after the that , its gotta be the W-king X20! and I've noticed with each release since the W-king "D9-1" model they've gotten better as a brand and each speaker release has gotten better. thanks for doing what you do! your videos couldn't keep me more interested in the process! from product review ,to comparisons ,personal opinion, pricing ,tuning, apps, and of course sound tests! ha. ill be seeking this next for sure.
I've got the bang max and some new info on that including the halo200 ill email you , ill be doing my best to get my hands on a W-king X20 for sure! thanks again for info ,your time and opinion etc. Greatly appreciated-rich
thanks for watching and your support 👍 at least now we have the app we know what firmwares we are comparing. sadly lots of the past w-kings you were in the laps of the gods as to what firmware you get.
@alanrossreviews Do you know why the W-King x20 isn't available in the UK??
No idea, its a bit weird
@@alanrossreviews it is - there's nothing I can find online to explain it!
There are two updates released for the soundcore Boom2 recently (3.11), which changes a lot. The overall experience is much better now than before. Can You guess or say what was improoved without reading release notes? I'm verry excited 😁
Its impossible to keep up with soundcore eq updates. They treat us all as beta testers.
@@alanrossreviews No, i'm serious. Nothing has changed with EQ or something. But the Boom2 is a much better speaker now. I'm not kidding you. Tipp: Listen to musik at very low volume, before and after the update...
@@alanrossreviews OK, i think you didn't noticed it... The Boom 2 had bass issues at low volume, 30% and lower, especialy with bass heavy EDM. The bass came and went uncontrolled...The Boost Upgraded and the old Motion Boom, they have the same problem. But for the Boom2 it's finally fixed and you can also use it for listening at low levels now 👍
@@TommyM3wow, this is really nice! I don't really like how it sounds on low levels, so I am excited for the new firmware. Unfortunately I don't have the new version in the app yet, maybe it will take a few days.
@@confess2god Maybe it depends on the country. Stay tuned, i'm sure it will released soon also for you. The bass issues on low levels were allready fixed with version 3.10.
3.11 was released yesterday. Not really sure what the difference is, but i think it has a bit more bass on high volume now👍 But as i said, i' m not really sure...
Bass boost kills the x20 abolsoutely shouldnt be there bit Alan this is my newest favorite speaker I stay away from bass boost tune in app it hits harder and cleaner and deeper lol but when they're available again on amazon I'm grabbin a 2nd have had it for 1 month and love it more and more that I use it... also alan I'm only bout halfway thru your vid but hopin ya share your own custom eq !!!! Please!!!! I have 2 one for bass heavy music and 1 for all my other stuff 50s 60s 70s rock n roll blues ... green grass and nighties by the outlaws sounds fn awesome those screaming guitars and bass it is badass and I now do not regret returning the bb3 wifi one bit and got that on sale for 399.99 during black friday this is so simple to use plus this summer I can bring my iniu portable 26mah charger and fast charge this speaker on the go
listening to some peoples description of the x20 i wonder if there is a lot of variance which would make sharing an eq misleading 🤷♂️
@@alanrossreviews that def could be I guess ya never know ya hope for quality across the board in their production but i do think they killed it with the unit I got. Absolutely love it but was one update too just last week to my ears and not changing anything in the app as to how I had it set I'd swear it has gotten a tad bit deeper bass even but at end of everyday I'm just a music junkie mailman out workin in the fn rain today ahahahaga but alan as usual man you do a phenomenal job ... also always wish you the best and thank you for makin my shitty day in the rain much more enjoyable... my selfish side would love to see ya really fine tune it to your liking and then same wuth the lil 3 band in jbl app to see amd hear what's what on your graphs but again that's just me bein a selfish bastard ahahahahahaha
@@wadec6799 what was you doing in the rain??
@@alanrossreviews new firmware cleans up the bass boost? Did you update the firmware before review?
@@stormlight1553 yes the firmware version is right there in the sound clips
The X20 was designed to perform well outdoors, while the BB3 performs better indoors, while being plugged in getting the full 180 watts & placed near a wall.
Hello Alan can you review the latest stormbox 2 from tribit? It's 34watts power it's that true?
watts is pretty meaningless in reality. i dont know how they measure that so no idea if true or not
Thanks , hoping for a review about stormbox version 2 soon
Alan your the king !!😂
just for the day 😁
I never understood the logic behind IPX ratings. Meaning if a speaker is rated waterproof then shouldn’t that automatically mean it’s dust proof too?
The dust proof speaker usually have thick fabric that protect outside part (woofer) of the speaker from dust.
If it only have waterproof rating, then usually it have metal/plastic grill that dust can still enter the outside part (woofer) of the speaker like partybox or soundcore motion+.
That's based on my speaker collection that have ipx7,ipx4 and ip68.
yeah when you open up these ipx7 speakers after giving them a soaking they are still full of water that takes time to dry out. but the drivers are not damaged by it. dustproof is another matter, you cant have any ingress.
@@Blue1-pf9zv Cool! Thanks for the info
@@alanrossreviews Thanks Alan
1st time 👂 about this brand 😅
They've been around a long time
can i use it while charging
yes
I just got the tronsmart bang max and it sounds amazing. How ? in most comparisons with jbl, tribit etc. it sounds bad ....well the answer is the custom eq via the app. It makes a huge diference.
whats your eq?
@@alanrossreviews i don't know much about eq description but from a scale -12 - 12, i have the next setting: 6-12-2-2-10 ( all numbers positive) starting from the bass to treble
This king AL guy pretty funny
@@raymay9276 💪💪
Alan! Just realised that i’ve been commenting on the wrong video. I was asking about the mic control for this X20 on your T11 video 😅 sorry about that
its ok i knew what you meant, the x20
Hopefully this gets released in the UK soon and for a reasonable price not over priced cos of the uk market
maybe they have production issues
Another award winning review from the Alan Ross Labs!! 😁!! Enough said!!!! From across the pond 😁😁😁😁😁😁😁!!!!
I forgot to leave a comment on this, so there you go, for the algorithm 😂
Not much to say about this speaker, it’s not for me…
Ive been waiting for your comment 😁
you need to rate and review the LG XBOOM XG9S
sure, let me just check with my bank manager about my overdraught 😭😭
@@alanrossreviews money is not the problem, it is the solution to problems 😂
can you make a review of the go 4 vs go 3? everyone say that it's a major upgrade, also would be nice to hear it against the micro 2 or bose micro
I just love music I’ll buy all of the speakers I like. I currently have the X20, Bang Max, Tribit stormblast, W-KING D10, JBL Charge 5, pulse 4, and I’m about to get the Harman Kardon Go + play 3 and then I’m all set I don’t need anymore…maybe
@@keme9325-g7b you always need more 🤣
Hey Al, what firmware was the BB3 on at the time of this comparison?
It is written! During the sound test
@@PaoloMarchi533 thanks, hadn't noticed that
@@PaoloMarchi533 😁😁
There is new 7.0.0 idk what's up
King alan vs w king! Always a great show! 😂
Who won? 🤣
😂
Love these videos Allen, not seen a single 1 I found boring if u make money out of adverts I'll leave em running 4 u.
i get a few pennies but its not much. on average they say 1 million views get you $1000 so you can see how little a few thousand views gets you. this is why when channels grow big enough that they think they want to do it full time they are so tempted to become shills just to get some money in.
That's a shame, thought u might make something off ads. I've casted it to my shield to play in background. Hopefully u get some ad revenue
@@Starvinmarvin1111-u4k good job 😝😝👌👌
Thank you, Alan. I was about to grab an X20 from Amazon till I watched this review again, yes the whole review. I already have the Boombox 3 but the X20 looked like good buy but not good enough.
ultimately yes the bb3 sounds better
Why are you dressed as the burger king man? lol
Mr Alan im between the BB3 and the X20 which one would you recommend me through this day i want something powerful with good bass and portable?
@@norbertmarrinez7013 bb3 for deep bass, x20 for upper bass
who got a best sound quality and bass? tribit stromblast or Wking x20? which is better? except in loudness.
blast for quality x20 for loudness
I am surprised u spell the speaker literally W-King. I always thought it should be spelled like Vi-King (scandinavian).
well in English W is double you 😁 i have no idea why they went for a hyphenated name!
thanks for the review, Alan. love the 'artistic' drawings in the background of the sound tests segments 🍆
i have no idea what you mean, but i will say that audio should not be boring right? it should stimulate all the senses and im helping that! 👍
@@alanrossreviewsgrateful for your help 😊
@@udim7284 too much information 😅😅
@@alanrossreviews lol, i was just enjoying the view, nothing more
lol i thought that you will not review this one, i think you said it in comment section, but good to see you again alan!
no i dont think so? maybe i said i cant get it in UK? but i got w-king to send me one from amazon usa and i just had to pay the postage and import duty.
@@alanrossreviews @franlexjos said: Are you reviewing the new W-KING jbl boombox look like? and you replied “nope 😊”
dont mind me i dont know what im doing half the time 😭
is the wking x20 better than the bb3 wifi edition?
@@dorianvelez17 no
thanks for reply mr ross. big fan love your style! Thats what i figured i had both and compared them extensively and came to the conclusion the wking is louder but the rounded out frequencies of the bb3 wifi just seemed more pleasant and refined to my ears however the wking would probably be better for outdoor use and the bb3 for imdoor anyways keep up the great work youv'e inspired me to give hk go play +3 a try next for a bit more of critical listening @@alanrossreviews
@@dorianvelez17 agreed, the bb3 wifi is better for more serious listening but x20 is great value
My god. I was wondering what everyone was on about until that 100% test! If only they didn't have such an odd wonky EQ.
They never get the second crossover right in these cheap boomboxes.
Hi mate I hope your booming still, I looked everywhere online amazon UK only sells x10s 😢
yeah not in UK dont know why.
Still not available in uk
Sadly wking doesn't want to send it 😢, was curious
i got them to send from us and i paid import
Well, does pairing the boom 2 with another boom 2 make it a sub woofer though? Can someone answer answer this important question for new speaker lovers like myself. I want to buy two of them if they do
nope! pairing two does not give you deeper bass BUT pairing two will go louder so at equivalent loudness two will sound as though they go deeper simply because of more bass boost at lower volume steps.
Karen screaming:
Noooooooooooooo!!!!!
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣
i bought the d20 version which is x20 with a 2pc wireless microphone for karaoke. i don't think it ip67. just ipx7
then they need to stop lying about it! they are NOT soundcore! 🤦♀️
Great speaker but why not WiFi?
huh?
@@alanrossreviews AirPlay is a great convenience while at home/office etc so I don’t understand why they don’t add it as a feature
@@rahannn on the x20? Same reason they dont have ldac, these are built cheap and piled high, no budget for licence fees and features target market are not likely to use on the go.
@@alanrossreviews it’s clear now, thanks 🙏 one last thing tho, what do you think about Dolby atmos support? Jbl has it, but does it make any difference?
Which is better the h10 or x20 for £50 more for overall outdoor?
x20
Which speaker 🔊 get you a noise probation 🤔 order 🤣🤣🤣🤣 . Great stuff. New to channel. You Go King 🤴
Welcome! 🤗
This pretty cool. If I recall correctly W-King H10 was quite a beast compared to the BB3 at maximum volume as well. So its neat that with this X20 W-King was able to follow suit on that. It's always more interesting when you review speakers outside of JBL and Sony - being well established you don't expect any surprises from those brands (which I suppose is why many seem to go for them).
its been years since i reviewed a sony speaker
@@alanrossreviews Have you seen people using a Sony XG/XE speaker? I've not seen anyone use one. I've come across plenty of people using either an XB43 or XB41.
Could you compare the w-king x20 to the harman kardon onyx studio 5
the onyx series doesnt go loud so x20 for volume would destroy the o5 but bass yes at lower volumes it would be a different story. o5 warmer overall too.
@@alanrossreviews could you do a speaker comparison where you compare speakers with the deepest bass
Awesome review as always!
@@rwynne29 😁😁
This guy is hysterical lol.
😋👍
hey alan its me josh byw how are you
yo josh! i am great thank you for asking 😁😁 did you have a good day at nannas?
How powerfull ist it... Interesting w k8ng have now equalizer too..
it will annoy your neighbours unless they are deaf 👌
@@alanrossreviews Mr Ross I got to wait will the price lows down, now in Europe it's about..370 euros wtf...
Can you compare againts Boombox 2?
its not going to be much different though.
