Not gonna lie Flossy, you are definitely one of my favorite reviewers! Thank you for your videos and your opinions!
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.
@@The.JZA.it's a very minimal change after the supposed break in period. Not enough for the casual listener to really notice.
@@AxlAX I thought the speaker was a bit too sharp/sibilant when I first got it but it definitely mellowed out.
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
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
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
True👌
Lol yeah okay. Whatever floats your boat.
if sony is mustang then the jbl is Lamborghini...😁
@@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
Sony sound clear tho, jbl sounds like to much vocals
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
@@benkennedy6194 the sony still sounds muffled and distorts at max volume, while jbl stays controlled
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
One of the many things I've learned watching Floss over the years, is you will never regret going with JBL.
Fax!
💯
Jbl all the way
jbl nr one i have a jbl boombox 2 no one better 👍👍,,mark
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.
JBL has been a superior product since I had my first experience with their GTX series 12" subs in the late 90's.
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.
Never experiences this with Sony tho
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.
I got the XB43 and it sound awesome, loud, clear and powerful bass
@@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.
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.
120 refurbished
wait for sony firmware updates, then check again, build quality is very good.
This man never disappoints.
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.
Floss! Now I wanna hear some Mobb Deep and 2pac since you mentioned that! Thanks for a great review.
If it wasn’t for copyright, that’s all you’d hear on my videos lol
@@FlossyCarter I miss the Amazon Warrior days and the 6-12 hour streams lol. I seriously remember one of your streams going for 12 hours!
@@FlossyCarter Floss, so to get around that do a karaoke version! Haha
Picked this up for $199 this month, absolutely love it.
Sony or JBL?
I always wanna see how LDAC performs.
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!
Only thing I don't like about the XB43 is the volume. It's not even as loud as my XB40, despite being much bigger.
sony is never better. thats the fix for this entire comment
Lol I agree, JBL beats Sony easy
@@FlossyCarter tho XG500 gives a fairly good fight to the boombox 3, but yea overall jbl just killes it once again
@@FlossyCarter Yes i am getting the jbl flip essential 2
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.
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
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
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
I got the sony xb300 i got samsung Galaxy s23 plus how do i get it on my phone LDAC.codec please help reply to my comment as soon as you see it
I own a JBL 310, 710, and will buy the 1000 in the future. Loyal fan. Both of these speakers are solid but JBL wins in my book.
Bro I don’t watch any other reviews since I found your channel!!!! Thanks again
I appreciate that!
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.
Hey Carter! Y got mine for 137 euro! I love your review! Good job man!!!!!! (Italy)
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 .
That all depends on your music preferences lol
@@FlossyCarter exactly! Or purpose of use, party mode or editing mode.
@@LaloylosDescalzosTV what kind of music do you like?
Floss - just an FYI, I’m seeing this refurb on Woot for $130. At that price this seems like a MAJOR go.
Buying two ebay refurbished units this weekend. Thanks floss for your time on this.
ive been watching your videos all day and havent regretted a single second of it 😅😅
Thanks for always keeping it 100% Flossy!!
❤️🔥
This is why I like your reviews. JBL came through much cleaner on my end.
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...
Fabulous review Flossy bur JBL all the way , a bit expensive for the quality thanks again king Flossy 👑👏😎🇮🇪
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 💪🏿✊🏿
your cat is very cute, also thanks for being the most consistent reviewer out there
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 need an audio drop of floss saying "ain't nobody buying this shit for (insert price)." I laughed so hard I damn near died!
😂😂😂😂
Thank you for your review bro! I’ve been a sony fan for a long time and honesty is always appreciate it. I will wait lol
Get these speakers refurbished on eBay at 109.00 now that’s worth it
You were correct I have just bought this for £135 which is 162 usd , great speaker at this price, cheers
Sony is much Bass❤
I picked up the Sony at Target last week for $109. It was a no brainer.
104 indeed. I'm in target in Peachtree city and that have 2 left
I love your channel bro!
ikr
Thanks Fellas!
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 👑
JBL makes the best speakers and earbuds I love their products great video flossy carter 🔥
I don't even need a speaker. This vid bout to make me get one
Just picked this up on Target clearance for $100 😮
I like Sony but JBL Takes the W on this review. I will wait four to six months on this one.
Need a floss approved "24 hour diner" shirt
Floss awesome Video and definitely hear the difference and I also love Sony products.Thank you so much for sharing Deb ✌️
Hey Floss, hey white shoes 🤗💕
JBL is killing the speaker game
I picked up one of these a couple weeks back, and I freakin love it. Great and entertaining review as always, Floss.
Thanks for your video. NO for this speaker: TOO much bass and too little treble. For the same price, almost the same power and perfect sound, it is much better to buy the Marshall TUFTON
Wish they will make a new Marshall tufton upgrade
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
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
I wonder what a hundred of these linked together would actually sound like lol
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
Liked the video before watching bc I already know Flossy stay making them bangers 💯💯
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 better definitely, but sony is nice too
Sony just shit in with last speakers not for this price :D
@@DenniS-zw1zm yea, u are right
Love the stare on white shoes 🤣. Great work on the review always a major major god tier effort 🇮🇪🇮🇪
I don't know how I miss some of your UA-cam video
On video, I like the Sony's sound better, due to MEGA BASS.
We need a review of whiteshoes 😄
Honestly I like the warmer tone of the Sony. I hope the battery lasts.
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
Another great video homie!!!! Shout out to tha man himself and white shoes as well!!!!
JBL xtreme wins too easy. Better BASS, better everything I love the sony design but that way over priced at $350. Maybe for 250$.
This still costs like 290? XB30 pointless for me now
The corny DJ gets me every time lol keep it going man. 👍🏾
Can you compare UE mega boom 3 vs JBL vs Sony 300
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 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 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
The JBL sounds way better, clearer and better bass
Sony trying to make a come back 🤨. If they cut down on the price it might work. Jbl my brother.
Back again with another masterpiece 💪💯
lol you the goat for playing a sound test with Marc Rebillet
JBL lands the left hook! Down goes Sony! Great video vato!
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!!
Good video - THANKS - u sold me on the JBL
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?
Great review. Would love to see a comparison with the Sonos Move.
Guys pls don't listen to these guys. I checked the Sony in a store that is having a very total sound signature a warm sound while jbl is more open sounding. It all depends upon u. Go to a store check by yourself and buy that's it
It really depends on what music you listen to, my daughter listens to anime and JP music and the Sony is a much better speaker for it and it doesn’t look so horrible in her room like the JBL
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 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
Sony master of electronics
JBL is King! Years later, my JBL still slaps like hell! 👏🏽🔥
Awesome review Sir. As always. Thank yoy
Your right not even close I have the extreme 2 and love it
Floss always keepin it 100 and taking those Ls so we don't have to.
I wonder if it sound muffled because of the water proofing
What’s up Floss? Thanks for another wonderful video
I paid 200 for mine I'm proud of my budget skills.. Feel like I got a good deal I amit I'm a Sony fan boy.. I hope these companies are taking care of you Look atur video Let me know I made a good decision and not take it back
JBL Allday!!! Your nephews song is 🔥. I recalled you saying it drops in the summer?
Best buy have it for 200 right now
The best Sony speakers were the original XB series all downhill after that
