    D9 really shines in max volume. Mainly used outdoors to 80-100% volume. Packs a punch for a small speaker with no real distortion. I agree the D8's sounds better in lower volumes but didn't buy these to play good music indoors at lower volumes, there are other speakers for that.

    Just bought the D8 to blast out tunes in the warehouse, where I work. Tried it at home for the first time last night. It's brilliant!

    I have the D8 and a friend of mine just got the D9 and now I want one too. It sounds bloody fantastic even at highest volume and it is very loud! The D9 currently costs less at amazon than the D8 and sounds much better and louder. Just placed my order, but thanks to you -- I think I will pass on the firmware update. Cheers!

    I'm using my Status 3 IEM Ear buds so I can VERY clearly hear the difference. I bought the D8 years ago and LOVED it. I had no clue I saw the price and went for it. A few years later I got the D10. You even commented on my comment on another video of yours... the D8 is constantly leveled in sound and bass. It has way more fullness sound to it compared to the D9 and D10..

    Hey Alan,, My D9 does not need the firmware update. It's is so crisp and warm beefy bass I used the tube amp pro and the adopt a sound under 30 yrs.. Sounds ridiculously amazing 👏 . If you have a Samsung Android phone use those 2 options on the built in EQ under sound settings I keep everything flat on the mix. Low bass is nice and deep and clarity is crisp. Try it and redo your audio file test! Sounds amazing at all volumes. The Best speaker you must rerun your diagnostics with these settings. 😁👍🏻

  • @dabroster8427
    @dabroster8427 3 роки тому +5

    The audio balance could be corrected using an app. It’s always nice when audio companies release an app to edit speaker audio settings, but when that option is available you can find apps to directly change audio settings on your paired device. So the more bass forward approach is meh, I do like the bigger battery, and the increased power, plus I do love bass. Though I just want a speaker that will out perform my JBL flip 4 which died after 3 years, and the W King D9 at a slight discount seems worth it.

    By the way, the D9 handle can be detached if the two flat rubber cap in each side is removed. There are 2 screws per side. The D8 grill can also be removed if you use nylon fishing line bent in a curve, sticking in and out through the holes of the grill. No scratches like that ;-)

    Sweet! Thanks. I do play a pair of D9s at maximum and they sound good at the top. At 30% off it was a good deal. The distortion is bad on the D8 at max. I also removed my D9 handles because I don't need them. I'll bet that the ratio of cabinet size to woofer size isn't proportional to the D8. Drivers appear too large for the cabinet. It's also possible that they sound better as 2 independent channels, one per unit instead of shared. The combination of every factor makes them an instrument all their own, meaning that D9 is a completely different instrument than the D8. Hopefully they will keep adjusting the EQ to make it better or provide us an assortment to chose from.

      Ferrite speakers and larger is a cheap alternative because the paper is cheap and ferrite is the only expense when you don't have to increase watt output to be cleaner with high-efficiency magnets. But they didn't go with ferrite mags.

    Well thanks for that, since I was super happy with my D8 even if it weren't as face meltingly loud as I wanted it to be to compete with my lawn mower and being set stationary by my door with me being a maximum distance of about 200ft from it. THOUGH even on the mower, it's not amazingly loud either. It gets to "AUDIBLE" over the rumble of the motor. It's a push electric motor. WHICH is frustrating since I have a Mifa F60 and it seems equally loud and cleaner in half the size. I don't regret the purchase. Edit: but this did help me decide not to go with the D9.

    you can remove the handle on the D9 by taking off the small little tape on the side where the handle connects to the speaker and use a small hex tool to take out the screws and the handle comes right off. It takes about 2 minutes. You can also set the handle on the other side, not sure why you would want to but it's an option haha.

      soundcore motion boom is still not in the UK, I own the black version of D8 and it's just amazing, got it on a discount for £68 so for price to performance It's just a killer!!! My dad owns the JBL Charge 4 he bought it for £99 and honestly, it's quieter and less mids and less bass, it just has better highs... Not worth extra 30 quid even he said it

      the motion boom is special because it can do deep bass while staying very flat and you can then customise into firmware your own eq.

      These can be had for $40-60 on sale. You could almost afford two d8s and play versus one anker boom. And both a bit louder, too.
      But I'm sticking with Anker over w king, I'm just playing Devil's Advocate. In fact, I own q30s, and life U2 neckband, too.
      But I could think of a use case where it makes sense to buy the D8 (usually $55-65 on sale or (less likely) the d9, which was $60 at launch with sale.
      Anker doesn't have nearly as many sales. For instance I wouldn't buy my sister $100 boom box for Christmas. We just don't like to spend that much.
      But if the d-8 is $39.99 or (more typically) $55? That's within my price range.
      But for tech enthusiasts? It's worth the extra 30 bucks to be able to play with the app and get ankers sound quality.

    Opinions are all over the map regarding the firmware update. Some have stated it made the speaker quieter, not louder. I noticed a substantial improvement in bass and a fuller sound with the firmware update on the D9. I was fairly disappointed in the D9 out of the box, especially the treble heavy, light on bass EQ2 mode. The firmware update saved the day, IMO.

    • @alanrossreviews
      @alanrossreviews  3 роки тому +1

      certainly on mine the bass was bigger and fuller but at a cost elsewhere along the frequency range. cant say this is a keeper for me. the eq2 mode i assume is the outdoor mode and meant to simply be louder which they do achieve but reducing bass and having a more high end heavy sound but even that changed on my firmware update. wonder if this speaker has regional differences.

    Hi Allen, thank u for this review and all the best wishes for 2021.
    For me, this result is quite dissappointing. I had hoped the frequency response was flatter and it seems like W-King did some artificial trickery that except for loudness, sacrifices sound quality. Especially dissappointing to see that while having bigger
    woofers, the subbass extension (40hz) is less then on the D8. Looks like that update made it a lot of extra work to custom eq it with a third party app. Might gonna cancel that D9 order and get a 2nd Boom instead, what do u think?
