They actually tested the battery life rather than simply taking Sony's word for it. To test the battery they play an audio track on a loop set to a sound pressure level of 80 dB at one meter away. Sony can claim whatever they want by setting the volume extremely low, Rtings has a standardized test for fair comparison.
Stated Sony battery life is incorrect… it’s actually better than JBL at 30 hrs for the Sony…JBL must have paid big bucks for this biased review. 90+% of other reviewers favor the Sony over the JBL…
30 hours according to Sony, what volume is that at? Rtings has a very specific test, listening at 80dB SPL until the speaker dies so that all speakers can be tested at the same volume. Their Sony speaker only lasted 10hrs at that volume. They said Sony claims 30 hrs when set to 16 out of 51, which is likely pretty quiet.
How much money you got from JBL? I tested Sony against JBL in boutique and the sound of Sony leaves JBL far behind! I am not even talking about functionality, codecs, 7 band EQ and amazing battery life. And the base in this thing is huge, JBL is a child 😂 Battery time is better than JBL just ask a seller in the shop 😉
Bought several to try out , kept the ult7 for many reasons , the complete opposite of what she said , I checked the life with lights without lights got about 22 hours with no lights at 75% volume and the sony sounds much better and fills a bigger room better
The Xtreme 4 shares a similar look but it trades a more balanced sound and dynamics performance for a smaller footprint and lighter construction. You can find out more using our comparison tool here: www.rtings.com/speaker/tools/compare/jbl-boombox-3-vs-jbl-xtreme-4/31312/49707
The Ult 7 kicks the crap out of the Xtreme. Which it should, it's a lot bigger. Had both of these and I personally don't agree with her. The Ult 7 was way more balanced just turn off ult or leave it in 1
Your battery life numbers aren't even close to right.. the sony actually has a better battery than the jbl

@@godfatherip it would depend how they tested each one.

I personally like the JBL Boom box more but I also like the Sony. I might buy it. Do you own the Sony one?
I was looking for this comment

@@godfatheripMost seem to be doing 50% volume now.
This is the tested battery life. Not what they put on the box sadly.
The Ult Field 7 advertises 30 but came out at 10. That's the issue.
Do you think we eat our snot? They can't lie so blatantly about, the lie that exposes them is about the battery life...

The battery life on this is super wrong for the sony. Its like 3x as much
Exactly, they are lying, owners of the Boombox 3 say that the battery at maximum power lasts only 4 hours and they lie with that feeling of impunity
SONY from birth till death.
Like those audio videos.
I sincerely hope you'll find a way to measure vibes. 😃
Constantly trying to figure that one out! 😂
Boombox 3 seems hard to find new now, is the xtreme 4 a suitable repalcement?

@@RTINGScomAudio fake news, Xtreme4 sounds kind of plastic Tupperware against Boombox 3.

@@Tiralfulthere is no bass that thing. my vote still boombox 3. if i want alternative, i would go with X20 or Stormbox Blast
Can you cover the Harman Kardon Go Play mini 2016
Could have showed the JBL back connections sweetheart
DDONT TELL LIES HERE...SONY HAS ALMOST THE SAME BATTERY AS JBL NOT ONLY 10 HRS....OR SONY HAS MORE BAYTERY THAN JBL.
Seems like paid review😊.. How come JBL claims 24 hours of battery life and yet this review shows 29 hours of battery life.. so funny😅
And JBL IS NOT BACKWARD COMPATIBLE! You will not be able to use Jbl boombox 3 with charge 4 or boombox 2
charge 4 no boombox 2 yes.
As long as there is JBL BoomBox 3 I don't even look at Sony. I've never liked Sony on the sound side.
Watching from Malawi,,I like the jbl boombox 3 only that money is the problem 😢
Buds 3 pro review please
JbL is killer bass 🔥 and you can use jbl one app ....sony have no bass it's just beats like a normal speaker 😂
3:58 where is the 710hz peak there? You're measurement was different. It should there's 700hz peak on Boombox 3.
The Wifi version doesn't have that peak
Sony for bass!
5:26 somy is for bass🤡
Look at that paragraph at max volume🤡
No sound test👎🏻
