  • Hidden Eq modes on the Harman Kardon Go + Play 3. Turns out the Go+ Play 3 has three EQ modes that can be enabled using the secret button pushes. In this video I show you the buttons to push and what each of the three Go Plus Play 3 EQ modes sounds like.

    Alan Ross Reviews Top Picks: Full list at www.otza.com/speakers/
    Top For value
    Tribit Stormbox Blast: Pound for pound champ! Unbeatable combination of deep bass and balance imho for the money. geni.us/stormboxblast
    Harman Kardon Go Plus Play 3: probably the minimum you can pay currently for a sort of hifi sound geni.us/goplay3
    Special shout-out
    Soundcore Motion Boom: geni.us/motionboom Amazingly deep bass to 40hz for its size and price. My last pound for pound champ before the Blast.
    Mifa Wildbox A Motion Boom alternative.. Some prefer its more neutral sound (they say) .geni.us/mifawildbox
    Soundcore Motion Plus Still worth a look, my original world pound for pound champ the Motion Plus can still offer great clarity.
    geni.us/soundcoremotionplus
    £50 champion:
    Soundcore Boost V2 Great bass for its size, This is classed as a compact travel speaker but for me is a best buy at around £50.
    geni.us/soundcoreboost
    Good value Speakers I actually listen to:
    JBL PartyBox Encore: Very small battery but VFM for a deep bass party speaker
    geni.us/jblpartyboxencore
    Harman Kardon Go+ Play 3: warmer, smoother and bigger sounding than the go play 2, geni.us/goplay3
    Onyx Studio 5/6 These two speakers are the most deep bass heavy of the entire Onyx Studio series.
    geni.us/onyxstudio6
    Bag of Riddim 2: Not for everyone but a lot of fun especially with some reggae music geni.us/bagofriddim
    JBL Boombox 3 WiFi: Crazy price but I much prefer its balance to that of the BB3 bluetooth only edition which has a silly 700hz peak
    geni.us/jblboombox3
    Minirig mk3 2.2 system: The Minirigs are as fiddly as hell to setup and the app is flakey but when you get it right and the full 2.2 system (or 4.2 with the minis) is a fantastic hifi like listen.
    geni.us/minirigmk3
    Audio Pro C3: Open and neutral but lacks deep bass, also has WiFi connection
    .geni.us/audioproc3
    Marshall Stockwell 2: balanced immersive, not loud. A go-to for me for a relaxing moderate volume listen and quite accurate with bass at 8
    geni.us/stockwell2
    JBL Charge 5: geni.us/jblcharge5 Definitely one of JBL’s better value speakers.
    Mifa WildRod: geni.us/wildrod sits between Soundcore boost and Tribit maxsound plus in sound and is about the same size.
    Beosound A1 1st gen: better than 2nd gen, connectivity and battery issues. Deep bass for small size. Not cheap but one of the best listens for its very small and flat size.
    geni.us/a1gen1
    Denon 250bt: discontinued but still a reference for size/quality ratio.
    Tribit Maxsound Plus: The most neutral speaker you will find for size and price.
    geni.us/maxsoundplus
    Bose Soundlink Micro Same size as the Tribit Stormbox Micro but different sound signature. Very warm sounding but falls away at loud volumes (relatively). geni.us/bosesoundlinkmicro
    Tribit Stormbox Micro 2 Much cheaper than the Bose Micro option and way better value but a very different sound. More clinical (neutralish) than the Bose.
    geni.us/tribitmicro2
    Tribit Stormbox Pro: Recently dropped to $99 making it great value
    geni.us/tribitstormboxpro
    Bose Revolve+: Crazy high price of $250 normally. I can’t recommend to buy it for a single driver 360 degree speaker at that price but at around 70% volume I find it a great listen geni.us/bosesoundlinkrevolve

Se debe compartir el conocimiento de una forma honesta, leal, sincera, me parece incorrecto que usted se exprese de tal manera hacia otro youtuber que también trata temas relacionados de altavoces, pienso que para ganar suscriptores y generar visualizaciones para que UA-cam pague por dicha publicidad y ustedes cómo UA-camrs ganen dinero no deben jugar sucio, este campo es muy abierto y hay para todos pero sin desmeritar el trabajo de nadie como lo haces en este vídeo pasando por encima de otro colega tuyo que tratan el mismo contenido de altavoces, la competencia no son tus enemigos más bien aprende de ellos, seguía tu contenido lastimosamente no me gustó este video, no pasando por encima de los demás para conseguir tus objetivos y observé el contenido del otro youtuber al que usted nombra en el vídeo lo encontré como Pro Audio su contenido es muy bueno e interesante aunque se nota que esta empezando en su canal tiene un contenido excelente...pienso que debes una disculpa al canal del joven....pero igual esa debe ser tu decisión.

    Just got my Go+Play 3.
    And oh boy, the hype is justified ! 🎉
    It sounds so good !
    The bass is really clean, tight and qualitative.
    Mids and vocals are defined.
    And treble is nice and smooth.
    The slight highs peak I saw in some of your track analysis is nowhere to be heard by ear.
    For someone who hated the upper mids / lower treble of the Go+Play 2, this 3rd one is AMAZING !
    And it easily destroy my Onyx Studio 7, which is far from sounding balanced now that some time have passed and now I've heard a lot more speakers.
    It's up there with Boombox 2 and Partybox Encore as my favorites speakers for indoor !

    But in the last couple of days i saw this new soundcore boom 2 appearing, and honestly, i like how it looks, i don't know how it sounds tho cuz we don't have quality sound comparisons yet. I really wanna know if the boom 2 competes well against the xtreme 4, which needs a new firmware update because of it's kick distortions at high volumes.

    It sounded like the default was pretty well adjusted or level 1, of course also depends on the song, and it depends on how much has lost hearing:P It's true, those different eq adjustments could be done with a separate button. The combination of buttons and and long time delays is not convenient. Or just a manual graphic equalizer.

      Try adding a fair size peice of open cell foam over a tweeter or both under the grill.
      Or just EQ it down in the 6K - 9k hz range. Or
      Bring all EQ sliders down then starting at the bass low end bring the up and keep them all under the flat line. Most people add above the flatline. Try it you may like this method as I sure do.

    Good to see you back Alan...nice to be back from the little hiatus.
    It's the start of the speaker season...I'm sure there are/will be a lot of incoming in terms of new speakers.
    I'm curious to see what the Soundcore BOOM 2 will bring as compared to the original PFP Champion given it will have just one driver/speaker and two twitters. But it looks to be a bigger speaker compared to those of the original MB.
    I did sign up for the early bird. But frankly I want something Bigger and badder... that's why my sights are set in anticipation of a second generation MB+, whenever that will materialize. Hopefully before summer. Beach Time!!!😅
    But I'm glad to hear Soundcore will be sending you a Boom 2..they better do so ASAP cuz in my view you nailed it when you crowned the original MB the P4P champ. Even without twitters that lil guy was punching way above his weight class. That's what I'd like to see with the second iteration of MB+...that is a speaker that addresses the shortcomings of the MB+ [ two bigger drivers (two of the drivers used on the Boom 2 or even better) and way more better twitters, better tuning, more power and a size increase]🤞

    They say it automatically adjusts to the surroundings. So this threesome EQ must indicate the minimum and maximum level of adjustment. It starts with default 2 and it can vary in between 1 and 3.
    So these min/max values are set in the speaker, but they are hidden because they are not meant to be actual EQs.
    I think it's difficult to measure if the default mode 2 is changing within those limits, since that would mean also changing the environment of the recording.
    Anyway, it's a nice and interesting discovery.

    I now watched videos about portable audio speakers with bluetooth etc. all day long (4:00am whilst writing this comment asking) then I stumbled across your video(s) about the SC X600, and I ordered it before, and after watching I cancelled the order. Then I saw this video and thought maybe I get the H/K Go+P3. (A friend of mine got the "H/K Go+ Play", the first version I assume, for at least 2 years now, and he räped it quite actually, and it still holds very good and sounds the same as when it was new, nice battery life etc., and most importantly, with all the other positive stuff, it sounds amazing and it is loud especially with this size)
    And now I am here asking if I should buy the Harman/Kardon Go+ Play3???
    I appreciate any recommendations.

      ​@@alanrossreviews so should I get this one as a top speaker for this price range? Because I don't buy a speaker and only use it for a few years, but for about 5 years or more, so it has to be really good quality and you have to be able to enjoy it for a long time. (As I described about my friend his box is really great, but he got the older version).

      @@alanrossreviews well so far I have only spent a day listening to bose but here are the things I have noticed:
      1. The clarity is exceptional. There is only one tweeter in the middle and I think two full range drivers and somehow together, they paint an amazingly clear soundscape. Might sound ridiculous but the sound actually feels 3d in many instances without losing focus in the center.
      2. The bass is always there and audible no matter how low the volume. There is definitely some dsp trickery there but this is a great speaker for quiet listening. Has a satisfying sound even at low volumes.
      3. It’s super portable compared to the HK Go Play 3 yet the bass feels more powerful and rumbly. I have only compared both at low volumes so far.
      4. The in-app eq is smooth and easy to tailor the sound albeit not as flexible as Soundcore. Increasing the bass eq dramatically adds heft to the sound.

    Perhaps they view their target audience as those who possess money and a disinterest in giving any thought to the sound of the speaker. In that case, why trouble their minds with a button that does that?

    @alanrossreviews Don Alan hay una Frase que dice: "GRANDE ES AQUEL QUE PARA BRILLAR, NO NECESITA APAGAR LA LUZ DE LOS DEMÁS ". Se debe compartir el conocimiento de una forma honesta, leal, sincera, me parece incorrecto que usted se exprese de tal manera hacia otro youtuber que también trata temas relacionados de altavoces, pienso que para ganar suscriptores y generar visualizaciones para que UA-cam pague por dicha publicidad y ustedes cómo UA-camrs ganen dinero no deben jugar sucio, este campo es muy abierto y hay para todos, pero sin desmeritar el trabajo de nadie como lo haces en este video pasando por encima de otro colega tuyo que trata el mismo contenido de altavoces, la competencia no son tus enemigos más bien aprende de ellos, seguía tu contenido lastimosamente no me gustó lo que haces en este vídeo no pasando por encima de los demás para conseguir tus objetivos, observé el contenido del otro youtuber al que usted nombra en el video lo encontré como @Pro Audio es un joven que esta empezando en el canal pero tiene un contenido muy bueno e interesante..pienso que debes una disculpa al canal que mencionas...pero igual esa debe ser tu decisión. Dios te bendiga.🙏🙏🙏
