what's up gyms review room family it's been a busy time of year and I know I can't be fully aware of every product that's being released but thanks to you guys and so many suggestions coming in I'm reviewing an item that the fans have suggested today I'm reviewing the massive fugu XL that I personally paid for priced at 299 dollars retail and what I'll do is I'll place a link in the video description below for you guys to click on and that way you can see the most updated prices as of today and last before I begin you'll see the JBL Xtreme here from time to time since many we're asking for me to do a comparison so without further ado I'm Jimmy with Jim's ravie room and my channel is here to help you make a purchase decision welcome everyone to another video going over the physical features first for a Bluetooth speaker this is quite large it's technically still portable but more holding it within your arms rather than using a book bag or such when you put this side-by-side the fugu is a bit more narrow versus the more rounded design on the JBL the google weighs slightly less as well at 4.2 pounds versus the extreme which weighs in at four point six now going over to lay out the top has all of your physical buttons that glows in the dark which is a nice feature on the left has your play button with skipping and going back on tracks and other side vine down an action button for answering phone calls or disconnecting is right in the middle and less to the right is volume up all very clicky and very responsive to rotating to the sides one air has your power on and off with a 3.5 millimeter auxiliary port for connecting your devices physically next is the bluetooth pairing button and last which I personally did not find convenient is the LED information to view how much battery you have left you tap on the power button and you have to count how many blinks you would see one green blink being low with six blinks being full offering an array of LED lights like most other Bluetooth speakers would have helped but the fugu does disclose audibly the estimated amount remaining and since we're on the subject that fugu XL is charged with a supplied wall adapter and you don't necessarily charge this with a USB cable like the JBL extreme and most other large bluetooth speakers better life is claimed to be a crazy 35 hours of use on this thing with my test at 50% volume to get a median result leaving this on overnight and partially into the next day I was able to achieve a still very impressive 27 hours and 23 minutes straight use until the unit died but going back to the connections the other side features a tight seal here for waterproofing purposes which I'll demonstrate shortly but behind here you'll find a microUSB port that is only used for updating the speaker's firmware the DC port to charge the fugu XL with again the supplied wall adapter and last a charge up port for charging your phone and other random devices via USB overall the fugu comes really rock-solid here and one of the biggest selling features is the design not the aesthetics but the build quality the design features a shell which see here though rotating to the bottom I'm going to demonstrate I'm going to take up these two screws that releases the core and it slides out the unit physical features that does make the fugu a considerable choice includes being reinforced with a fiber resin making this shock resistance from drops up to 3 feet from the ground it's also dust and sand proof with less being waterproof up to 3 feet in the water for up to 30 minutes and despite being one of the heavier speakers from my test it did prove that the fugu does float so the three feet maximum shouldn't really be an issue if you did drop this into a st. Lake and very last and very notable this is one of the few speakers that can output 360 degrees sound this speakers on the front and then rotating the fugu here there's speakers on the rear as well and very well on the sides the only other speaker in this class that can output 360-degree sound is the UE mega boom so far everything sounds amazing since from my test here this did confirm it to be built like a tank everything so far it sounds amazing as well but this leads me to the sound quality now play several songs and then give you my verdict afterwards Oh you yeah cuz I got it like that flow so smooth like I got it on tap yeah and I'm a shake it be a good night while I'm on Mike England while I'm drinking Bud Light can you get it when you miss me like I'm wit risky drinking Jim Beam hey baby did you do it do it that way do you do that do you take a break you know that I'm a beast when I kill it on the piece like a sex on the beach like it's not lagoon Jess you see the California way we go we care baby she could Californication I stuck here all the flowers it might I put it down like this 24/7 and they had the button get in secretly get you going out so hot just like innovating myself just to touch it lit so fire it's all my hey baby little my all the watching cuz if the sudden close fool knows they might learn something aim there you have it folks now sound recorded on my end and then played through your speakers or not the best depiction of audio quality hence my review here based on this thing is deep and strong most likely more than any other large size Bluetooth speaker that I've tested and that includes the now recalled beats pill excel now there are times however where there is slight spillover of bass but I'm certain bass heads wouldn't mind at all for the average consumer most would still appreciate the sound as the bass isn't droning or muddled and if there is any spillover to the mid-range this is minimal at times and happens only once in a while uncertain bass heavy songs as for the mid-range this does well in offering a more neutral soundstage voices still comes across clear enough and can be appreciated by most and when compared to the extreme I do personally prefer the JBL's brighter sound signature as vocals are much more distinct pushed forward and interpreted as clear with the fugu XL if and only when you do put these side-by-side and perform a test like I did here you can hear the fugu sound a bit more recessed however if you were to test and play this without a comparison most average consumers would very much appreciate the overall sound the difference is there but it's not a deal-breaker by any means it regarding the high notes the fugu keeps within reason without overreaching and becoming ear ringing or ear tinging overall the definition and clarity performs similar to most other Bluetooth speakers including the JBL extreme meaning this isn't up to the Bose Soundlink 3 standard which home it is not easy to beat for a Bluetooth speaker now when comparing overall loudness both the fugu and the JBL can offer sound for large rooms and they sound almost equivalent when you're standing at moderate distances now when you're standing closer to one of these speakers it does seem that the JBL is louder most likely due to the more Ford mid-range and last regarding Bluetooth signal I was able to walk to the other side of my house here and downstairs with no issues having a signal go through several walls and of course the first floor ceiling overall this is a great speaker if you do value its protective casing and waterproofing features and where the foogoo XL shines is how loud and how basically this can get well not distorting or becoming a recipe or droning aside from the lack of an easier to read battery indicator the lack of including in the package a caring strap like the JBL extreme this speaker comes highly recommended let me know what you think down below do you prefer the fugu or do you like the JBL extreme that much better so hope this review helped you in some way be sure to add me on to Facebook Twitter and or Instagram and if you haven't already be sure to like and follow my channel I'm Jimmy with Jim's reavie room and my channel is here to help you make a purchase decision you guys take care I'll see you in the next one bye you
