2017-11-21
360 degree speakers are a great way to evenly fill a room of music and the JBL pulls 3ue blasted bose soundlink revolve or three very popular options right now that all cost about the same but they all have very different designs very different features and they all produced at 360 degree sound in very different ways don't forget to Like comment and subscribe and you can watch some when the video is here after you're done watching this video the ue blast is the most expensive advanced and rugged speaker in this group it currently retails for $230 and it comes in 4 colorways red blue black or white the Bose Soundlink revolve is the smallest and classiest speaker in this group any retails for $200 and it only comes in two colorways black or silver and the JBL pulls three is the coolest speaker cuz come on has a built-in light show and it also retails for $200 but also usually goes on sale if you want to pick either of these speakers up I'll have links to description below and I'll keep them updated so you can get the best deal possible now remember this isn't a full review on either of these speakers I'm just trying to point out the most important differences between them so I can help you with your purchase decision if you want to watch the full reviews search the channel or tap the icon on the top right like I mentioned earlier all three of these speakers are 360-degree speakers but they all have very different speaker setups the bosonic revolve is the smallest speaker here but don't let its size fool you it has dual passive radiators one downward facing full-range transducer and then acoustic deflector which are all vertically stacked the UE blast is rocking two thirty-five millimeter drivers and two 81 millimeter by thirty nine millimeter rectangular passive radiators which were all housed internally and the JBL pulls three has 340 millimeter drivers one at the zero 120 and 240 degree mark and two exposed passive radiators one on each side now it's important to keep in mind even though the JBL post three is the largest speaker in this group almost all of its sound it's coming from the bottom portion of the speaker what the fabric is and as you'd expect all three of these speakers sound and perform very differently I personally think that you eblasts is the worst seven speaker in this group even though it has the most thumping bass and I guess the loudest it has very we close at mid and ear piercing highs the sound isn't as detailed or as rich as these other two speakers and there's very little instrument separation the Bose Soundlink revolve gets the least loudest in this group and it really likes to push the mids and vocals forward just like his big brother the Bose sound like revolve it has some really good performing lows but not so much thumping bass it sounds good but it's not the best for people who really like bass heavy music instrument separation is much better than the UE blast and the highs are much more tamed as well and the JBL post 3 has the most even sound signature in this group but it also has the most treble which is pretty common for JBL speakers the lows and mids or almost as good of the bose but it does have a little more thumping space the highs are a little brighter than the Bose as well in general I prefer the 7 to JBL post 3 it's an overall good performer for most music genres regarding battery life on the JBL post 3 it really matters on how you use it if you play music at max volume and with an intensive light feature mode set at full brightness then you'll be lucky if you get 6 hours of battery life but if you play music on the post 3 out of moderate volume with a less intensive light mode like jet set at a lower brightness then you'll get a battery life of around 15 hours so at least I have the battery life on the UE blast is pretty average even with Alexa turned off and it not being connected to Wi-Fi I'll go into that in a minute the UE blast is good for about 8 hours so playback time atom moderately to high volume and the bosonic revolve is good for about 11 hours of playback time from a single charge not bad given its size and all three of these speakers also charge via a micro USB cable but I do want to point out to you eat blast doesn't have an ass jack whereas the bows in JBL do so with the UE blast you can only stream music over Wi-Fi from select streaming services or via bluetooth from your own device whereas with the post 3 you can still use a wired connection if you want to instead of just relying on Bluetooth and the bose sound we provoke lets you listen to music via bluetooth the aux jack or you can even get a wired connection through its microUSB port all three of these speakers ah afraid of a little water either the Bose Soundlink revolve is ipx4 rated so we can get wet without any problems but you should not submerge it underwater the jb upholstery is ipx7 certified so it's fully waterproof down to one meter of water for 30 minutes and it even floats but even though the JBL pole story is fairly rugged if you drop it or bump it against something you do risk retching or even cracking the acrylic top whereas the ue blast is the most rugged rock in an ip67 rating which means it's both water and dust proof so the blast can really take more of a beating than the other two speakers the ue blast also has the longest Bluetooth range in the group of about 120 feet whereas the poster II has a Bluetooth range of around 70 feet and the bose has a range of about 40 feet but the ue blast can only be paired to one device at a time whereas the JBL and bose can be paired to two devices at the same time which makes switching from one device to another super easy something you can't do on the blast what really makes the ue blast stand out it's a deluxe a voice integration after you've connected the blast to your home Wi-Fi network and sign in to your Amazon account the blast will work just like an echo dot or standard echo Alexa what's the weather like in New York City today you can look for mostly sunny weather with a high of 38 degrees in a low of 24 degrees where you can also only control your music playback by asking Alexa and it's important to keep in mind the Alexa voice commands will only work if you're using one of the supported music streaming services and if the speaker is connected to Wi-Fi and I've been very vocal about this in past videos but the blast and mega blast not having a manual way to pause or skip a track is very annoying or just sometimes we're being able to manually control your music playback is the most convenient I just don't understand why you even just add all multi-purpose button on top coz the blast over-reliance and Alexa can be a burden for people who don't use Alexa don't have a stable Wi-Fi connection or who don't use one of the supported streaming services because both the Bose Soundlink revolve and JBL pulse relay you fully control your music playback straight from the speaker itself and on that note the Bose has some really well laid out concave buttons that make it really easy to know which buttons you're pressing just by touch whereas all of the buttons on the JBL post 3 or flat so you never really know what your press without looking I just wish the blinds up to JB ' were raised but what really makes the JBL post three standout it is 360 degree light feature it's the best out there you can control it directly from the speaker itself or you can also control it from the JBL connect that and you have several light modes to choose from there's wave jet fireworks equalizer rave rainbow campfire and you can even make your own and if you want you can even change the color by using your phone's camera or the color wheel just keep in mind the light feature doesn't do too well with direct sunlight so if you do decide to use the speaker outside just turn the light feature off by pressing and holding the light button on the back that way you'll save a little battery life you're welcome and finally let's talk about chaining these speakers together to other speakers as right now the UE blast cannot be chained to any other UE speakers or whatsoever which is a bummer because that's a pretty standard feature these days the JBL post we can be paired to other JBL speakers using JBL connect plus like another post three thoughful afford the JBL boom box and now the JBL charge 3 thanks to a for more update but the post we cannot be paired to all the JBL devices using the older JBL connect but using JBL connect plus is super easy you literally press one button on each speaker and you're done you can chain up to 100 JBL speakers together but if you want to get left and right stereo audio going you need to pair two of the same JBL speakers together whereas the bose sound look revolve lets you get left and right stereo audio with almost any to both speakers that are paired together but I do have to admit the pairing process on the Bose speakers isn't as seamless as JBL speakers it doesn't always work on the first try and it does take a little longer personally my favorite speaker in this group is going to obviously be the JBL pulse 3 because of the light feature but with the light feature aside I still prefer the JBL post 3 because of how it sounds like I said earlier the ue blast has some really weak laws and mids and the sound isn't as rich or as detailed as these other speakers do you weight blasters really only worth getting if you're heavily invested in the Amazon ecosystem the Bose Soundlink revolve sounds really good for its size and it's a good sounding speaker in general I just personally don't like how it pushes the vocals so forward but some people like that if you're looking for a small solo speaker you can't go wrong with the Bose Soundlink revolve but personally I prefer the JBL post 3 because you're getting so much for the same price as the other two speakers you're getting good sound and an amazing life feature but remember this isn't a full review on either of these speakers I'm just trying to point out the most important differences between them so I can help you with
