    I know I'm old school, but I like how it still has an aux jack. Yes bluetooth 5.2 is pretty great, but nothing beats the ease and quality of a cable plugged into anything from a laptop, to a 40 year old Walkman. The aux cable needs more love.

      Srs Xb43 has auxiliary and what I did is run the headphone jack from my TV with a stereo splitter to each of my XB43 so I can have a wired right and left channel as well as Bluetooth if I really want need to but I find it's not as nearly loud and definitely bass suffers the most but it does get substantially louder when hooked up with the auxiliary cable

    I'm a farmer and after completing different works every day , evening I spent some time with my Sony XB43 & I have bought 2 of them to stereo pair on my bedroom & I have my custom EQ , which makes me feel more relaxed & refreshing, I don't use the lights of speaker . The sound from it is more balanced which feels really good & I spent hours listening to it & I'm happy with it.

    I just got the sony srs xg-300. I don't have anything to compare it to because this is the first quality Bluetooth speaker I've owned. I have had high quality house sterio systems with full suzed speakers. I definitely know quality when i see and hear it With that said, i love this speaker. I'm not looking to piss my neighbors off. I've outgrown that.

    I have used both jbl and sony speakers for years and I have noticed one thing that the first impression of a jbl is wow ...it has great bass and treble is so clear and sony will be like oh it sounds good but nothing outstanding... but wait after listening them for a long hours you will realize that bass on jbl is good but that sibilance is just so annoying. That's why I gave up on jbl . That's my personal opinion , nothing against jbl fans . So don't bother replying with abusive comments

    • @NewStuffTV1

      I have had that same issue with JBL. I like JBL's speakers, they are some of the best looking speakers out there, and the bass is great. A couple years ago I was listening to both the JBL Charge and Xtreme, and immediately I could hear that the treble/highs were too harsh. I can't listen to that for an extended period of time.
      I had this same issue with a Harman Kardon Onyx Mini. Several years ago I found it on sale for 75% off, and I had great luck with HK before. I tried listening to the Onyx Mini for a few weeks, and the treble/highs just annoyed my ears. So I gave the speaker away to a friend.
      My sister has the regular HK Onyx Studio 4, and it sounds amazing, so clear and detailed. But that was before HK started to downhill.

    While I don't own a JBL, but I do have a friend with a very large JBL speaker, not priced too differently than the XG300, I do own the XG300, and without tweaking any of the default audio profiles, the JBL was just punchier than the Sony.
    Once I went into the audio settings and upped the bass and the mid it was very close between the two. I think that's one aspect of these devices that gets overlooked in these reviews. I get the whole trying to be neutral in the reviews, but I think it's something people should be made more aware of.
    So if you don't like the default sound profile for the Sony, just remember it does have an EQ in the Music app that let's you find what works best for you and your style of listening.

      You posted your comment 7 months ago. I hope you got the xg-300. While the app has a 3 band eq, if you have a Samsung galaxy series or, i believe any Android phone, it has, i believe a 9 band eq. You can really spend some time and tweak it to near personal perfection. I just got mine yesterday. While this is my first Bluetooth speaker, i do have decades of sterio quality experience and enjoyment. This xg-300 is very impressive.

      @@Godric_71if you have to tweak the eq using 9 bands, the device is moot. The point of high wuality audio devices is that they are optimal out of the box. If the device cannot produce the quality that was intended by the creator, the device is not good enough. Facts.

    Yes! Just because a speaker isn't the best, doesn't mean it's a bad speaker which I think some people miss in comparison videos. I have Harmon Kardon go play, Studio 4, Studio 5, Urbanears Ralis, Braven XL, Tronsmart T6 Max and the One More Bluetooth speaker and I love them all even though they have different sound signatures. I think some speakerphiles get offended too easily. So while you're doing comparison videos, also do videos focused on one speaker and it's best features. It might help if you had a rating system (like an 8 out of 10) to let people see a speaker can be good even though it's not the best. Good video!!

    You have to spend a little bit time with it, customize it or adapt to it and then sometimes you can get some great deals with Sony products which are pretty fun in most cases.
    However some had bad firmware support or bugs/missing features that got never fixed 😌
    But Sony bluetooth speakers are great, I use them since I changed my old JBL Extreme against a pair of XB-41s. In Stereomode it was a pretty nice feeling and with some EQing it also sounded great 👍

    I had this speaker but returned it. Its not a bad speaker but the bass is not puchy enough even after tweaking. I also had the JBL extreme 3 but even though it has more punchy bass the overall sound profile doesnt suit hip hop music. Listen to Aint no Fun by Snoop Dogg and you will know what I mean. The best speaker in this category I found was the Motion boom plus by Soundcore. However its to big just to put in your hand luggage. Its hard to strike the right balance with these speakers. I will stick with the bose flex for the time being. Good little speaker

  • @RampartDistric213
    @RampartDistric213 2 дні тому

    I've owned both and I like the Sony better. The JBL has bloomy bass while the Sony has a well-balanced bass. The Sony has two speakers inside set for stereo and the JBL only has 1 driver and 1 tweeter. The Sony has two tweeters and two drivers. The JBL sounds like noise coming out. The Sony has more of a sound stage, separating the instruments.
    I got mine on marketplace for $120. And the cool thing about it is that I can replace the battery if it ever goes out. No special kit needed.

    • @edcipriani8873

      Good to hear that you like the Sony. Question on the XG300 - how are the mids and highs on the speaker, and does it have good detail? I had a Sony Bluetooth speaker a few years ago and it sounded good, but had a slightly muffled sound to it. I just don't like the JBL sound signature where the treble/highs are often too harsh.

  • @timothyhewitt6736
    @timothyhewitt6736 2 роки тому +3

    I somewhat agree with yoyr comments. Sony has been criticised for their lights, which I get and understand, but I'm not bothered by them. Yes aesthetically it's a nice speaker. But here's the thing, the sound tuning. Sony just has not got this right, so therefore in no way is it a $350 speaker.
    In the uk it's been dropped to £199/$220 ish. That's it's pricepoint. Perhaps even a little cheaper.
    Sony need to get the tuning sorted, imo it's a marginally worse sounding speaker than the XB43, which is where the XG300 problem lies. It has the base to be something very good, and a good burn in does help, but Sony needs the brighten up the sound a little.
    There's too much competition out there now for it to sound the way it does. Get the tuning sorted and yes it becomes a great speaker. As it is, it isn't.

    Hell no. CHANGE THE SETTINGS! +10 bass, +8mids, -4 treble....but I like my old school rap music...once you do that it sounds bascially the same as the jbl but louder...that clearaudio+ setting is garbage and that's why it's sounds so much worse on this video... sony XG300 is equal if not better afterwards

    I hate all things JBL. I've never listened to them, but the reason I don't is that they're over priced and are a bad value compared to what you can buy elsewhere . For the same reason I won't buy a Mercedes Benz or a BMW. They're bad value for what you pay. I just don't buy them or want to own one.
