getting started here be sure to check out the link down below that they partnered with Sennheiser they give it away a brand new pair factory-sealed PXE 550 active noise-cancelling headphones now these ones are personally my own I'm not shipping this one out by any means here but they are an amazing pair of noise cancelling headphones click on the giveaway link down below for instructions on how to enter thanks everyone so starting with these small category first you gotta get the JBL flip for this is one of the best Bluetooth speakers in its class it's one of the most rugged and this seriously looks great wrapped in nylon fabric that is extremely rugged and with an ipx7 rating it's capable of being submerged under water for up to 30 minutes in up to a meter of water basically now keep in mind though it's sadly and unfortunately doesn't float now I tested Bluetooth range this has about 50 linear feet of range and fatter life is also impressive with my testing of 50% vom at the 14 hour mark I still had 50% a better at life remaining also JBL connect plus also comes with the JBL flip before allowing you to connect up to a hundred or actually more compatible JBL speakers and have them all play at the same time for $100 this is one of the best out there as much as I want to put these sony xba-1 ahead and pass because the LEDs on those only shined one color it only had an IP x4 rating meaning it was only splash proof and the better life a tested these sony xba-1 inow errs versus again the 14 hours that had got here not to mention the XP 20 did put up pretty sweet audio but it sounded very similar to the flip for in the end the JBL had more value in my personal opinion now the second best small bluetooth speaker on the list is the ue wonder boom now all of the UE products can take a beating the one herb room after numerous drops their numerous drops that is and after being buried in mud can survive after repeated abuse also considering the flip floor and the xB xx it doesn't float this thankfully Kim it's ipx7 certified mini it can be submerged and up to a meter of water again for up to 30 minutes making this perfect for those taking this to the lake or bringing this near the pool a better life is good with 10 hours and 20 minutes at 50% Vaughn and Bluetooth range is claimed at a hundred feet and worked throughout my entire house inside the office here it was perfectly fine going through the floors and walls now as far as the audio experience goes the wonder boom isn't as bassy or deep as the other small class speakers not even close so you do lose that but it provides for mids and an enjoyable casual sound not to mention this thing outputs 360 degree audio while most other speakers can't this one is going for $99 but again I'll leave my links in that better description check out those for the most updated prices now moving on to the medium-size speakers JBL does kill it with Bluetooth speakers at least for the last year or two I personally recommend each charge three with it's amazing better life at 20 hours and 48 minutes of testing time the speaker is IP 7 rated so it can be submerged in water but better yep it does float with my test in the same time it's braided just like the other flip floor here to give it that strong abrasion resistant coating the charge story does have the new JBL connect plus feature allowing you to connect to practically an infinite amount of speakers so they can all play at the same time it does have to have JBL connect plus the additional benefit of getting this over the others you can charge your phone as there's a USB out on the back behind this little flap or cover right here having a speaker will work just like a power bank now both with ranges reaching 40 linear feets but if you want a wired connection there is a 3.5 millimeter port on the back here as well no audio wise isn't that 360 degrees I'll put basically but the charge three is one of the most direct fiery speakers that is available this would surely fill up a small to medium-sized room and somewhat pushes large rooms as well the audio signature is bright and forward and the highs are never too harsh to become distorting this one goes for $150 and it's the mids here I highly recommend that has tons of value now second I'm a mid tier speakers this is the time I'll recommend the Sony speaker it's the sony xba-1 as does the durable housing like the rest of the lineup unfortunately speakers only splash-proof with an IP x4 rating you cannot submerge this thing I said it does offer something similar to you ease develop or JBL connect plus but Sony is limited to 10 speakers which is surely enough honestly for most people Bluetooth range you get about 60 linear feet from my testing here and as for a better life you'll be getting around 15 hours at moderate volume with the LEDs um the biggest perk or reason why you would get these is because of those LEDs they pulsating strobe like the smaller model but they now come in a variety of colors that can be customized with the app now lastly with the XP 30 you get a punchy bass boosted sound signature that's slightly deeper than a charged three foot Ford and bright mids as well the highs were slightly rolled back but overall this speaker has great audio especially here comes for $89 and yes this is a mid tier I'll repeat its going for $89 and Sony's websites or again you can check out my Amazon affiliate links in that video description now last up and yes it's another JBL speaker but I'm sure it's going to be a conversation starter and I don't have at my desk here I'll be right back give me a second alright there we go I think I got it working now so all these colors can be customized the patterns can be customized as well and the upholstery this will surely be a conversation starter for friends and guests that are stopping by now this speaker is super glossy and feels but like hard plastic up top it might be class so it's something to be careful about it is also a fingerprint prone as well though it's hard to tell when it's it when it is illuminated basically Bluetooth range is right around sixty four linear feet and the better life does take a hit here as the speaker has to power all these LEDs in my testing it reached just over seven hours it's really a trade-off between lighting in the battery life now as for these sound experience the pulse is slightly above neutral but not quite bass boosted as the JBL charge three I can't quite hit the depth of the xB thirty as well but again what you're paying for is the light show basically although the audio is not at the level of the two other speakers it's still good audio in general now the mids are very much forward as well you do get 360 degree sound you do lose a little bit of that attack I guess you can say but it's still very much capable of filling up small to medium sized rooms again at $200 I still recommend this thing it's a conversation piece no matter what wherever you place this in your household so jumping into big speakers if you're on the fence of the revolve or the revolve Plus from Bose spend a little extra money I highly recommend to get the Plus model now this sounds much better the speaker is compact especially for our large speaker category and the aluminum body and handle makes the overall shape very convenient it's also bump resistant it has an IP x4 certification it's somewhat durable but perhaps better as an indoor speaker and basically for light outdoor use as where Bluetooth I did reach 40 litre feet in my testing and the better died after 10 hours of playing at 50% finally our recent updates allows the bose revolved plus to interact with Amazon Alexa providing a better alternative to the UE mega blast now in a large room the Raval plus fills up that space very adequately here especially when paired with an another Bose speaker in party mode overall this speaker is it as durable as some of the other speakers on the list I'll omit that but it does provide loud bounce amp with 360 degree audio and that most recent firmer offering amazon's assistance is seriously a plus it boasts roof all plus is going for $300 now next up on my list here if you're wanting something ultra rugged the fugu XL after my testing proves that it's a tank it's an older speaker but it's ipx7 rated which means that I can submerge this underwater but once I was done with my testing I did confirm that it could float the mega doesn't and the JBL extreme is only splash-proof as well now the fugu excel it's rock solid dust proof and shock resistant to prove this I dropped this repeatedly and nothing came about from it it's still working perfectly fine today a better life is one of the best here at 37 and a half hours with medium volume the other big speakers are not even close to that unless this is perfect for an outdoor speaker there's 360-degree audio this because I'm literally every side now fugu does have a basic sound signature and once in a while may muddle the mid-range of bits on bass heavy music the mid-range is neutral and it isn't bright too overpowered and the high frequencies plays without Distortion now with a price tag of $200 it's on the cheaper end of large bluetooth speakers in my list but comes with tons of features for those looking for something absolutely rugged so alright folks to the very last one here I know the Jay Bell extreme is what you thinking of it's honestly an amazing speaker I still highly recommend it and if you don't purchase the one I'm about to show you the extreme is the perfect alternative but keep in mind the extreme is honestly starting to show its age though it's only splash proof the extreme only has 15 hours of battery life while others are offering much born now and last there's a cheaper option out there the biggest reason why I still recommend the extreme it is or has one of the best audio quality characteristics coming out of a portable bluetooth speaker it's basically bright forward and simply in-your-face audio while keeping most of the audio quality intact now with that being said though I gotta hand it over to this here this is the sony xba-40 it's going for a hundred and fifty dollars right now offers up to 24 hours of battery life and the audio signature it sounds very similar to the extreme it's only splash resistant though as well just like the JBL extreme but considering pricing the battery life and obviously these crazy LEDs which I'm probably showing on the screen right now I think the xB 40 wins with this year's round up now the xB 40 is loud for medium to large rooms this looks great with the ability to adjust the colors of the lights here too having a strobe effect that's not available on the xB 30 and the fact that it can go longer than other speakers is a huge plus now this speaker is the best for some of my favorite genres here EDM hip-hop pop music it accentuate the beats and makes the music exciting and explosive and the mid-range complements the bass clearing detail and the highs have no ear tinging or listening fatigue it's perfect for small to medium sized rooms but even pushes large room territory overall it is my highest recommendation of the year here and at $150 at least at the time this video it's a great deal if it if it goes up to $200 I still think it's worth it alright folks that's it for my list here I hope it helped you in some way I know there are tons of speakers out there to choose from but with my testing these are the best of the best be sure to help support my
