Only reason I’d choose the Sony is for prolonged listening. Reason being the trebles of the JBL lineup can be a bit tinny at times, causing listening fatigue.
If you properly run in the JBL the treble should mellow out. Takes about 25-100 hours of use at low/medium volume to break them in properly. Don't turn it up loud until it's broken in.
brother, each time i watch your reviews i get instantly random laughs, so smooth with your talking, so articulate, and most importantly, an authentic guy clearly, never i enjoyed seeing reviews this much, you know exactly what you're doing and keep doing it. gained a subscriber
I have the last model of Sony speaker the XB43, and I noticed those JBL speakers are louder for sure. The edge I would give to Sony speakers is the longevity.
I noticed the way sony makes there speakers they stay consistent all the way through the volume range where the jbl sounds better overall till you go completely max then jbl falls off a little,just from my experience
Just bought the XG300, if you go to Custom DJ effects and edit the settings it will greatly increase the quality of sound of the speaker. I’m definitely happy with my purchase
When I heard the difference in clarity on the JBL with the whispering at 15:53 I did the rock away and leaned back in surprise. That is one clear speaker, surprised I could hear such a difference recorded on a mic and youtube, I love how far these have come in the last 10 years.
Not necessarily clearer warmer sound signatures tend to sound more muffled and brighter tend to sound more clear I've own both sony sounds better inside and jbl sounds better outside due to brighter speakers do better in open areas and warmer speakers are better inside jbl gets harsh inside at max volume while sony doesn't it's all personal preference only jbl speaker I don't own is the boom box 3 and just order the jbl hid speakers
Back in 2013 the Bose soundlink mini was better than the JBL Charge. UE sat in the middle. However, since then, JBL has always had the lead. UE just looks different, no improvement in sound. Bose may be slightly better in terms of sound dispersion and clarity than they were with the original SL mini.
Let me bring some glory back for Sony. It's true that Sony does sound less clear, less punchy or crisp. But for people who truly listen to instrumental music.... ,most would go with Sony. I've asked them the reason, and their replies was 'I can hear the background instrumental playing clearly with Sony speakers and its much more comfortable to listen to'. I say Sony has it's own advantage although it has less clarity, but hey, they're at this for so many years and music or video producer uses Sony products, so I guess they know what they're doing? haha
@@yogenpradhan7503 hey I actually owned both of those jbl and sony speakers, they both sound awesome except Sony are sounded muffled. But for long listening experience, Sony is better choice however JBL is great for party bomber
Dear Sony, please have the audio engineers that work on the headphones and home theaters help your SRS line! Seriously how is it all the same company? From what I can hear Sony is always sounding muddy while JBL has a clarity that's unmatched.
Big Floss! you must know that these JBL speakers are just bass and treble made to bumb for the party. on the other hand the Sony joint is more accurate sound, more mid and level bass and treble not over exaggerated like JBL .
The reason it sounds muffled is because sony speakers have a warmer sound signature which I personally prefer. Jbl had decent bass for sure but if you want deep rumbling bass go with sony but not the xb43 or anything from that series they don't sound bad they are just to quiet to really enjoy.
@@Johnny24rs I got it and I like it very much too but when it comes to loudness jbl is the better choice. For example my jbl xtreme2 can only be at 60 or 70% volume to closely match the xb43 at 80%. I like sony a lot but it's just not loud more so in an outdoor setting
@@gabrielv887 Yeah but with the loudness, you're sacrificing battery life. I work outside and use the XB43, and my coworker uses the JBL Extreme 2. We can hear both of our speakers from a pretty far distance in the same position but the JBL can be heard from about a couple more meters. The downside is his Xtreme 2 only last 4 hours at max volume while my XB43 can last 7-8 hours at full volume on Live or Extra Bass mode. We don't have access to electricity in the urban community gardens we work in, so we have to rely on a full charge from the start of our shift. Sure the JBL can last longer if you turn down the volume to like 80%, but our other coworkers simply don't listen they just want to hear their favorite songs as loud as possible. The temptation to turn it up higher isn't there with the Sony speakers so they just accept how high it goes and I don't have to worry about the battery getting depleted soon. But either way its better to get JBL and other competitors if you're paying the same price and want to maximize loudness. If you see a steep discount for a brand new or refurbished Sony speaker I say hop on it because it is great value. I got my XB33 for $60 and my XB43 for $100. I just ordered a refurbished Sony XG500 for $170 which is $10 less than the price of a brand new Motion Boom Plus. Strange thing about Sony speakers sounding muffled because in videos they sound muffled but in person my speakers don't sound muffled at all. My coworker who owns the JBL Extreme 2 says he likes the sound of my Sony XB43.
@@Daxter609 that is actually really cool to hear and that is very true my xb43 doesn't sound muffled at all maybe the xb41 because it had no tweeters but I loke they way it sounds but the only reason the jbl sounds louder is because it doesn't have the deep bass that sony has which is why I prefer sony over jbl
You also find that the Sonys are great for other types of music such as jazz, , latin, easy listening etc. Unfortunately UA-camrs only ever demo with dance music or hip hop. Subjective opinion which I am sure I'll be corrected on. But I also think it could be an age thing. The teens/twentys have grown up in a generation of small computerised tech be it laptops, phones or portable speakers so are used to a more thinner open sound. Whereas the older generation had larger drivers and home hi-fi which also due to an older technology (discrete components) where naturally warmer.
Bro let me ask you something did you try to use LDAC codec?,LDAC is a proprietary audio coding technology developed by Sony, which allows streaming high-resolution audio over Bluetooth connections at up to 990 kbps at 32 bit/96 kHz. It is used by various Sony products, including headphones, earphones, smartphones, portable media players, active speakers, and home theaters
Great review Floss. I was wondering about this since the x43 wasn't cutting it. I currently have the extreme 2. Also shout out to White Shoes. I've never seen a cat so chill while you're opening stuff so close. That purr be activating my bass. Lol
Why is it that Flossy is the only one who talks about such things as "underrated speaker features", Flossy really is the best reviewer out there that is why. White Shoes does look offly cute with that upside down look.
What I learned from my JBL vs Sony experience is this. JBL is better out of the box, Sony is better if you tune it with the app. I personally much prefer a tuned XB43 over a Xtreme 3. It might be the case with this speaker aswell. Good review!
Floss, should I wait for the next upcoming new generation of JBL speakers and I heard that they will be coming out by the end of the year if I am not wrong? I have been eyeing to buy the Xtreme 3 last year but was hesitant about getting it because the price was too steep. Now I have compared it with this Sony SRS-XG300 but looking at so many reviews, is it a better speaker than the Xtreme 3? Price is slightly lower but is now confused and baffled by the other competitors. So many good brands out there to distract our deciding factor of which one is the best to get lol 😂 😝I owned some Xdobo and Soundcore speakers too, what do u think of the new Soundcore Motion X600?
I bought Sony xg300 last year for xmas. it was on sale $199. I want to buy another this year to pair both in stereo. every speaker has a sonic signature of their own. I am happy with Sony and the price $200 is perfect. this year 2024 on sale again. I will buy another
The sony looks better imo. Like a more modern materialistic look VS JBLs rugged look. Sony seems more indoor. (just by the looks). What would I buy for my money? JBL obviously. Sony if i got it at some crazy deal.
I have the JBL flip 5 but just upgraded to the Sony XG300 for $150 at Best Buy Black Friday. It was $10 more than the JBL Charge but up a level in size. I hope that I made the right choice.
i totally agree with you there JBL all day , if i were to go with the sony i would definitely go with the previous model , But as soon as i upgraded to my jbl extreme the sound really impressed me!!
Yo floss , I need your opinion. Right now the flip 6 is the same price , if not higher than the charge 4. What should I go for? I really have no idea and both are great choices
I love OG musice and I must be able to here the instrutments 📯🔔🎵🎶🎚🎛🎷🎸🎺🪗🎻🪕🪘 and voice crystal clear🎼🎙🎼🎤🎧! Especially the separation of each in my in my ears👂🏽! Like The Touch of You😍! Some might not know that one! Time to upgrade to JBL X-3 from UEBoom🤩 Thank you , Flossy 👑
I was seriously thinking about buying this yesterday for boxing Day and it was either this Sony or the Bose SoundLink Max but I chose the Bose instead and the guy at the counter said if you have any issues with the battery we can always exchange it for the Sony xg300
Yo Floss, is there any way that you could do in updated video on rechargeable compressed air devices, like the ones you would use to dust off your desk or keyboard?
I've made several purchases on items you've considered a major go and I have not been disappointed ONCE taking your word for it. Much love & respect brother 💪🏿✊🏿
i usually agree but i got a xg300 for 199 few days ago at bestbuy there was also a software update the same day it made the megabass setting better ..man i got be honest i absolutely love the handle and the build of the sony and it has decent bass i actually fav using it over my jbl boombox the sony is my fav speaker .also have 2 xb33 but the sony connect thing sux ..also own a bumpbox ultra plus and a studibaker master blaster a side note i used the eq bass on 10 mid on 4 treble on 9 sounds way better and louder n clearer
So why didn't you press the "Mega Bass" bass boost button on the Sony and compare it to the JBL?! You're not giving the Sony a fair shot if you're not using the features that are right on it. And it would have been helpful to us if you had boosted the treble from the Sony app to see if it still sounds "muffled" to you, or if the speaker was fatally flawed. Also, the JBL charges with a power cable that has a brick in it, so the charging cable is not very portable - and you definitely better not lose it when you're traveling about! By contrast, the Sony charges with USBC, and most of us have USBC cables kicking around everywhere. And the Sony has a "quick charge" feature which means any USBC you have around will give the speaker 70 minutes of playback with just a 10-minute charge. Plus the Sony uses Bluetooth 5.2 which means (among other things) that it won't drain your phone battery as fast. And because it's Bluetooth 5.2, you can pair two devices to it and switch between them. So if you're streaming from a laptop or tablet, you can take a call from your phone too, because you can switch seamlessly. BTW, the Sony retails at $200 everywhere, so "jump on it everywhere" as you say.
Thanks for this comment, I want to get a larger speaker outside of my flip 6 and this speaker is refurbished from secondpity for $109, which seems like a downright bargain
Got it for 140.00 CAD My Harman Kardon Go + Play is definitely a cleaner sound, but I like how this speaker can fill a room without disturbing my neighbors. Definitely a win for people with shared walls.
Damn, the JBL just absolutely destroys. I’ve had my JBL Charge 3 for years now - and it’s the best damn Bluetooth speaker I’ve owned. Might need to look into the big boys now. That sounds so damn good
Man if you think the Xtreme 3 sounds good you should look into the soundcore motion boom. You can tune them with a custom EQ to sound way better IMO, and I was able to get two of them for stereo pairing for less than the cost of a JBL charge 5! Two of them are off the chain in loudness and deep bass
bro white shoes cracks me up in this one. The JBL sounds so much better than the Sony. I'm just listening on my phone without no headphones or anything and you can still hear the difference between them.
@@TheAscendedTechNinja Probably because he wasn't fully utilized the way we both saw it. Dolby and Poweramp help again and make it the boombox champion, but that's exactly what makes it undervalued at the same time because not everyone feels the full power.
JBL definitely won the sound test. 😊 what is going on with SONY ?? Some of their stuff they are dishing out is just rubbish!!! There was a time SONY was the only brand second to Bang and Olufsen to consider buying, now that has definitely changed. The manufacturing base in Spain might have something to do with it. Thanks for a decent review Floss!
I ordered Sony (it was on sale for $199 at RC Willey) first and after watching this video snatched JBL extreme 3 at local Walmart for $229 on sale. Adjusted Equalizer on both and listened. Honestly, Sony blows JBL out of window . I am an audio enthusiast with over 38 years of experience in audio equipment. And I don’t know what’s the problem with JBL portable speakers. I tried all extreme line and charge. They sound like a piece of crap. To be precisely it’s like sound coming from the bucket, mechanical and not natural. The Sony on other hand sounds warm and pleasing to your ears. I haven’t noticed any more base on JBL versus Sony. Actually Sony had more base if you adjust equalizer on both of them. And JBL sounds more open and more metallic somewhat like Klipsch horn. So my verdict … JBL went back to Walmart and I kept Sony as my companion speaker next to Ultimate Ear Hyperboom.
I have ordered both of them, but returned the JBL. It's amazing if you listen to a lot of modern, digital music. If you're more into rock, acoustic or classic music, my advise would most def be to go with the Sony
I tried sony xb 43 and jbl extreme 3(bright sound type) to my experience sony is more crispy sound, have more clear sound, warm sound, less distort on 80% and above sound level. Mean while jbl have bright sound less crispy sound, the sound is unfocus especially the mid sound start from 70% volume and above even the seller acknowledge. I even asked the seller "is this speaker original?" While the speaker were selling in a jbl official store. In my opinion sony is for those who like chill music, jazz, slow music, relaxing music, classic anything chill music. While jbl is for those who like hard music
I had multiple JBL Bluetooth speakers in the pass at least 6 from Clip to boom box with the handle, kind of looking for something Different, still searching tho .🤫
i got a refurbished one for $150, absolute steal since it's on par with the charge 5 pricing it looks good, it sounds good and loud for outdoor use (outstanding for the price), long battery life and durable and I feel like this speaker only shines when you mess with the EQ tho, I tried bumping the treble and bass and it sounds a lot cleaner, it sounds open enough and the bass kicks way harder now the extreme 3 seems overpriced lmao
I think the cloth material does make the Sony speaker seem muffled even though it makes the speaker possibly a little more durable than other portable Bluetooth speakers, but also makes the speaker feel a little more premium with the build. The fabric material on the JBL speakers seems to be a lighter material which makes gives the JBL speakers a cleaner sound and a little more volume than the Sony speaker. Never have I had a Sony speaker but I agree, JBL all the way. I still have a Charge 4 and I still bump it to this day. JBL’s sound for speakers is nothing short of amazing. Great video as always and salute to you and White Shoes. 🫡

@@AxlAX I thought the speaker was a bit too sharp/sibilant when I first got it but it definitely mellowed out.
Bruv. Sony has everything balanced. Whereas JBL has vocals tweaked for which it feels like JBL is louder. But Sony honestly sounds better.
Not even close

Sony or JBL?
As of December 2022, the price of the Sony went down to $198.
Почему такие цены стали?
Yeah I think it's way better considering they lowered the price so in this case jbl loses for bang for buck
Even cheaper in the UK. You can get two Sonys for the price of one JBL.

No xd. It's texture look like a Russian rug on the wall and shake like a hourglass🤣. JBL nice feeling and quality of building
Right now the XG300 is on amazon, you pay 44% less than normal price, i live in europe, dont know if this offer also existing in other countrys
Love the stare on white shoes 🤣. Great work on the review always a major major god tier effort 🇮🇪🇮🇪
wait for sony firmware updates, then check again, build quality is very good.
I have the JBL flip 5 but just upgraded to the Sony XG300 for $150 at Best Buy Black Friday. It was $10 more than the JBL Charge but up a level in size. I hope that I made the right choice.
You were correct I have just bought this for £135 which is 162 usd , great speaker at this price, cheers
i totally agree with you there JBL all day , if i were to go with the sony i would definitely go with the previous model , But as soon as i upgraded to my jbl extreme the sound really impressed me!!

Right now the flip 6 is the same price , if not higher than the charge 4. What should I go for? I really have no idea and both are great choices

Floss what's the best portable speaker that you can also run off the mains
I wonder if it sound muffled because of the water proofing
I think this is one of the rare times I’ve heard him say that something is not worth the price.
You must be new here
Good video - THANKS - u sold me on the JBL
i usually agree but i got a xg300 for 199 few days ago at bestbuy there was also a software update the same day it made the megabass setting better ..man i got be honest i absolutely love the handle and the build of the sony and it has decent bass i actually fav using it over my jbl boombox the sony is my fav speaker .also have 2 xb33 but the sony connect thing sux ..also own a bumpbox ultra plus and a studibaker master blaster a side note i used the eq bass on 10 mid on 4 treble on 9 sounds way better and louder n clearer
Your right not even close I have the extreme 2 and love it
Im trying to decide if i wanted the XG300 vs the JBL charge 5... i mean is there other speaker on the market that sounds just as good?
Flossy, with the recent firmware updates I heard the SONY rocks. Any comments on this?
Lemme check
@@FlossyCarter Thanks, yeah something with the EQ settings opening it up. Seems out the box, they suck.
This is why I like your reviews. JBL came through much cleaner on my end.
I picked up one of these a couple weeks back, and I freakin love it. Great and entertaining review as always, Floss.
Floss Great review as always ! Pls can you review jbl extreme 3 vs Xdobo X8 Max ? Thanks 🙏
Bass on the Sony is a lot cleaner.
Maybe but (dunno why) Sony always put hard name on their Bluetooth nugget
Nope
Nah
Sony bass is perfect
@@HenryTheBoilermaker3rdYearflossy likes his speakers bass heavy.
So why didn't you press the "Mega Bass" bass boost button on the Sony and compare it to the JBL?! You're not giving the Sony a fair shot if you're not using the features that are right on it.
And it would have been helpful to us if you had boosted the treble from the Sony app to see if it still sounds "muffled" to you, or if the speaker was fatally flawed.
Also, the JBL charges with a power cable that has a brick in it, so the charging cable is not very portable - and you definitely better not lose it when you're traveling about! By contrast, the Sony charges with USBC, and most of us have USBC cables kicking around everywhere. And the Sony has a "quick charge" feature which means any USBC you have around will give the speaker 70 minutes of playback with just a 10-minute charge.
Plus the Sony uses Bluetooth 5.2 which means (among other things) that it won't drain your phone battery as fast. And because it's Bluetooth 5.2, you can pair two devices to it and switch between them. So if you're streaming from a laptop or tablet, you can take a call from your phone too, because you can switch seamlessly.
BTW, the Sony retails at $200 everywhere, so "jump on it everywhere" as you say.
Thanks for this comment, I want to get a larger speaker outside of my flip 6 and this speaker is refurbished from secondpity for $109, which seems like a downright bargain
amen
Got it for 140.00 CAD My Harman Kardon Go + Play is definitely a cleaner sound, but I like how this speaker can fill a room without disturbing my neighbors. Definitely a win for people with shared walls.
Jbl has nailed Bluetooth speakers tunning the way Apple nailed Face ID....but I do like the premium look of Sony better...it looks better to me...
Great video .... yo your nephew got a little bit of a lil cease sound in em ... Good shit..
Damn, the JBL just absolutely destroys. I’ve had my JBL Charge 3 for years now - and it’s the best damn Bluetooth speaker I’ve owned. Might need to look into the big boys now. That sounds so damn good
Man if you think the Xtreme 3 sounds good you should look into the soundcore motion boom. You can tune them with a custom EQ to sound way better IMO, and I was able to get two of them for stereo pairing for less than the cost of a JBL charge 5! Two of them are off the chain in loudness and deep bass
@@HAIYANE9910JBL is really a Samsung speaker since they own Harmon right?
@@jackrock1974 samsung owns both. JBL is kind of the more mainstream branch, and HK is the more "refined" product line
bro white shoes cracks me up in this one. The JBL sounds so much better than the Sony. I'm just listening on my phone without no headphones or anything and you can still hear the difference between them.
I really thought the XG-300 would go toe to toe with the Xtreme 3 but I was wrong. Btw you still going to review the Monster Blaster 3.0🤔
Sony Man really sad, the extreme 3 is older and still beats the XG300 very easily. Thankfully, the XG500 isn't that lousy.
Right I felt like Sony put everything they got into the XG-500 with the update and just tossed out the smaller ones😕
@@TheAscendedTechNinja Probably because he wasn't fully utilized the way we both saw it. Dolby and Poweramp help again and make it the boombox champion, but that's exactly what makes it undervalued at the same time because not everyone feels the full power.
And not everyone has access to that and Dolby atmos is exclusive as well. I hope updates make it better
@@schacktastisch I agree. Sony's shouldve been tested with an android in LDAC
We need a review of whiteshoes 😄
How can we get a proper LDAC test with some Hi Res music please floss ? Tidal or Apple Music Hi-Res instead of 2006 audio compression.
I wonder what a hundred of these linked together would actually sound like lol
JBL Allday!!! Your nephews song is 🔥. I recalled you saying it drops in the summer?
JBL definitely won the sound test. 😊 what is going on with SONY ?? Some of their stuff they are dishing out is just rubbish!!! There was a time SONY was the only brand second to Bang and Olufsen to consider buying, now that has definitely changed. The manufacturing base in Spain might have something to do with it. Thanks for a decent review Floss!
I ordered Sony (it was on sale for $199 at RC Willey) first and after watching this video snatched JBL extreme 3 at local Walmart for $229 on sale.
Adjusted Equalizer on both and listened.
Honestly, Sony blows JBL out of window . I am an audio enthusiast with over 38 years of experience in audio equipment. And I don’t know what’s the problem with JBL portable speakers. I tried all extreme line and charge. They sound like a piece of crap. To be precisely it’s like sound coming from the bucket, mechanical and not natural. The Sony on other hand sounds warm and pleasing to your ears. I haven’t noticed any more base on JBL versus Sony. Actually Sony had more base if you adjust equalizer on both of them. And JBL sounds more open and more metallic somewhat like Klipsch horn.
So my verdict … JBL went back to Walmart and I kept Sony as my companion speaker next to Ultimate Ear Hyperboom.
@@NaMaikaTiHandlea +1
The real review right here! Thanks for the feedback
I have ordered both of them, but returned the JBL. It's amazing if you listen to a lot of modern, digital music. If you're more into rock, acoustic or classic music, my advise would most def be to go with the Sony
I tried sony xb 43 and jbl extreme 3(bright sound type)
to my experience sony is more crispy sound, have more clear sound, warm sound, less distort on 80% and above sound level.
Mean while jbl have bright sound less crispy sound, the sound is unfocus especially the mid sound start from 70% volume and above even the seller acknowledge. I even asked the seller "is this speaker original?" While the speaker were selling in a jbl official store.
In my opinion sony is for those who like chill music, jazz, slow music, relaxing music, classic anything chill music. While jbl is for those who like hard music
Floss are you still gonna review that wking speaker?edit the mifa wilfbox is also an awesome value for money speaker you can check out
Back again with another masterpiece 💪💯
I don't even need a speaker. This vid bout to make me get one
I do love sony a lot. However jbl to me still sound the best. That my own opinion.
Sony are always better,but they want to use Sony media center app to get the best sound.
JBL sounds good but for long term use, I think Sony is way batter.
I had multiple JBL Bluetooth speakers in the pass at least 6 from Clip to boom box with the handle, kind of looking for something Different, still searching tho .🤫
Have you done a video on the XG500 as well?
i got a refurbished one for $150, absolute steal since it's on par with the charge 5 pricing
it looks good, it sounds good and loud for outdoor use (outstanding for the price), long battery life and durable
and I feel like this speaker only shines when you mess with the EQ tho, I tried bumping the treble and bass and it sounds a lot cleaner, it sounds open enough and the bass kicks way harder
now the extreme 3 seems overpriced lmao
The custom Marc Rebillet sound test song is honestly the most impressive part of the video.
Thank you for your honest review , and I like white shoes !!
It's funny they both
have been doing this for the same amount of time 78 years.... JBL wins
I think the cloth material does make the Sony speaker seem muffled even though it makes the speaker possibly a little more durable than other portable Bluetooth speakers, but also makes the speaker feel a little more premium with the build. The fabric material on the JBL speakers seems to be a lighter material which makes gives the JBL speakers a cleaner sound and a little more volume than the Sony speaker. Never have I had a Sony speaker but I agree, JBL all the way. I still have a Charge 4 and I still bump it to this day. JBL’s sound for speakers is nothing short of amazing. Great video as always and salute to you and White Shoes. 🫡
U actually right. Its slighlty muffled. Which for me isnt a dealbreaker. Because the sound is crispy still
