    For indoor use, I would grab the Sony, but i need to use my boom box for the outdoors. Going to the springs, hiking, biking, offloading with my go cart and motor bike friends, just for that, I would have to get the JBL. I would cry if someone threw it in the water or got dirt on it, we're fighting. I see both being used, like you said, one for indoor and one for out door... but that extra 5 hours ain't nothing to laugh at, especially if your camping over night. Appreciate your service brother, 0621 in Camp Lejeune.

    So I have both the boombox 3 and the xg500 and have spent many many many hours listening to both, in my very personal and honest OPINION I feel as if the Jbl, definitely has harder hitting bass, but with that being said at higher volumes, which is normally needed when I’m listening outside, the tonality differences of the bass and mids start to merge, I’m not saying they aren’t clear, like you can hear them, but it’s almost as if the extra subwoofer they added gives it’s too much umph to the bass at that volume, it’s not exactly muddy but the best way to describe it is, linear? It’s not as dynamic as it is at lower volumes. At least in my ears I hear that, also the highs at that volume range have the slightest bit of distortion not much at all, but if the song you’re listening to is peaking that frequency range you can kinda notice, but again only at the 80-90 percent volume range. The Sony xg-500 however is really good at picking up those tonality differences in the bass and the mids, I’ve played the upright bass and the bass guitar for years, and that might be why I’m able to pick up the slight difference but none the less, the Sony doesn’t have as much umph to its bass, it’s not a hit you in the chest hard type bass, it’s a nice warm, low bass, it can definitely get pretty punchy but not as much as the Jbl, I think that’s why even at the higher volume range like 80-90 present you’re not getting that loss of different tones, and the slight note changes, and the highs are wayyy softer so even at higher frequencies it’s not distorted as much, but that being said, it can sometimes make the sound stage feel a little small, it’s not bad, just not nearly as “open” sounding as the Jbl, it’s almost like you are still listening to it inside. I love both very much, and I honestly use the Jbl for hip hop, and r&b mostly but for everything else the Sony is my go to, especially with that live sound option it really helps pronounce those instruments and different sounds, kinda makes it more of a spatial sound, leaning more towards the “open” Jbl sound but still with that warm bass I love. Also this is after the recent sony firmware update as I didn’t own the speakers before it. They came with the update.
    Side note: I also have the little brother to the xg500 the xg300 it was the first one I got out of the two, and it’s generally the same just not as loud (obviously) and has an even softer tone than the xg500 again because it’s not as big, and it’s ip67 rated so it can be submerged for a bit without worry, (yes I’ve personally done it to my own) and the mesh on the outside is technically washable on both, I just wouldn’t recommend dunking the XG-500 in water at all. they both have the x-balanced speakers and they are what help the Sony achieve the ability to keep clarity at the higher volumes. I do not own the smaller jbl extreme 3 but I have compared in person and I have to admit the jbl, at that size is the better choice, although it tends to be more expensive than the Sony. Not all the time though you can catch deals on both.

    I have the Sony, my friend has the Boombox. We both agreed on the Sonys behalf being the winner. It just sounds different. Not that amount of bass the JBL has, but its a cleaner nicer tone bass. And it just sounds so much better. Sounds cleaner and has a lot better acousticity, fills the room/house pretty well with its warm sound.

    • @NewStuffTV1
      @NewStuffTV1  7 місяців тому +11

      This is something it took me a while to figure out. Initially, the loudness and brightness of the JBL made me feel like it was the better speaker. After listening for around 20 mins, I would find myself turning it down lower and lower because it was becoming annoying. My wife noticed the same thing.
      We switched to the XG500 and went a full day in the backyard without adjusting the volume or moving the speaker around. Then we started using it around the house and figured the warmer sound is simply more "listenable."
      Personally, I think all of the Sony speakers are good for all general purposes. I like the JBL speakers for things like working out, sports or events with lots of distractions

    • @thatdeathstepguy8719
      @thatdeathstepguy8719 7 місяців тому +1

      @@NewStuffTV1 Yes, right. The JBL has the common listening market, the Sony has the guys who have more refined ears than the usual. So the power is good for outdoors, the warmness is good for indoors. The problem is the same as you said, at the first time your jaws drops, then you hear the Sony, and you cant hear the JBL the same again, it just sounds.. cheap. It sucks to say for a brand with a size and reputation like this. But I can relate to this, I have a built sound system in my car done by myself, and the sub is a JBL for obvious reasons, power. But I listened to another Alpine sub in the same category as my Splitstream 1000, and god.. it sucks compared to the Alpine. And I didnt even mention JL audio.. I feel like its a long lost shot for JBL. Not the same as it was ever once.

In my opinion they both sound really good. the sony wins on features because you can pair all sony speakers together plus they have more options at the back. the jbl looks more rigid and better water resistant. Sony also wins on battery life, its a win if you buy either one, getting both is the best option.

    Mic input of the XG500 is a dealbreaker for me. Make the speaker much more versatile than just music, and long trip in car is way more entertaining with karaoke. I never have to worry about battery life either.
    Indoor, 30-40% volume is way more than enough unless I wanted the police to give me a visit. One complain is that sometime the bass is too boomy and drown the mid and high if you leave EQ at default.
    Outdoor, it is fine if you are about 5 meters or less; if you want the sound to travel further then only way is to get a big one. The speaker cannot give full power on battery though which I think should be an option.

Mind that it is my personal though, and the feeling of bass will change not only from the setting but also the environment - like playing in a small bedroom then big living room or open space. In those case I can change the EQ so it'll fit to my liking.

    I issue. If your playing one speaker Vs. other don't play several songs and then use the other speaker. You can't remember how the other sounded during that song in a particular tune. Play some of a song and then play the exack same tune with the other speaker. Then go on to a different genre and again play a little of the song(maybe 30 sec's. and then the other speaker playing the exact same genre and the exact same part of song. Your setting is very nice to look at but it's outside and inside is where maybe most people are going to play there speakers. Or play same in and then out side when you've done with all the same sounds but outside. IMHO

    I have the sony xg 500 , and it sounds amazing , however to get the most out of it you need a custom equalizer, using a modern samsung A series or S series phone.The equalizer apps from the playstore are very poor and only introduce distortion.
    If you dont have a samsung phone , you will not get the most out of this speaker
    I realized there are some problems with the xg500
    1 is that the factory treble settings used by sony is way too low. This can be rectified with the built in equalizer on samsung phones, you need to raise
    4k , 8k , 16k treble to the maximum , when this is done the muffle sound from the xg 500 is totally gone.
    2 another problem is that the material sony used for the xg500 , creates the muffle sound, it blocks out the treble , the material looks great and is durable , however it blocks out treble from escaping from the 2 tweeters. This is totally rectified by boosting the
    4k , 8k 16k treble as i have mentioned before on the samsung phones.
    3 the app sony provided has poor equalizer adjustments. The app gives you the remaining battery life etc, has lighting controls, karaoke settings , it is very good. Much better than the apps from jbl, however sony hard limits the anount of treble and bass you can add. Which is why you still need a samsung phone to get the most out of the xg 500.
    My battery life is amazing even at max volume. To get the xg500 to play at its loudest , you need to plug in the wall adapter.
    All in all i didnt regret choosing the sony over a jbl boombox. The sony is more versatile , like having mic inputs, turning it into an instant karaoke machine, i just plug in my wireless mic.
    The boombox does not have this function, for my speaker collection i have 2 Harman kardon onyx studio 3 , a jbl party box and the sony xg 500

    @JuanAuribus Рік тому +21

    Fortunately the xg500 has headroom for some serious EQ, unlike the JBL models. But the stock response is quite poor, (extremely deficient above 1khz) so it's practically necessary to EQ to a more neutral and low bass (rather than upper bass) tilted response, unlike the comparatively better stock JBL response. Only upside to Sony really is that you can get these for under $200 used, with good enough headroom.

    jbl speakers have a bright sound, but it sounds flat, and high-frequency sounds will start to choke on metal music because of the bright sound. Sony has a more voluminous and muffled sound, which allows you to reveal the sound of complex music. Well, third-party equalizers have not been canceled.

Unfortunately, most people have to chose ONE to do everything.
