Best portable Bluetooth speaker 2017: Denon Envaya DSB-250

2017-12-08
hi and welcome it's been quite a long time that the small portable speaker impressed me as much as then you would then on environed here we have the overall Rena 2017 for the best portable Bluetooth speaker and I don't want to talk around how great it sounds how great it looks and so on simply let you listen by yourself you can of course also check it out through my speaker audio database compare it against any other speaker like that Bose Soundlink mini or the old and I am what I also prepared some contenders here most of them are top in their class like the JBL charge 3 quite highly rated also their band or simply play one one of the best sounding ones and I think that they don't can even compete in the higher class like with the effacing key here which is larger also way more expensive or the Riverina thanks to this optional battery pack it becomes also a portable bluetooth speaker and also quite popular the Bose Soundlink revolver as always I will be using binaural microphones so for the most realistic sounding question you should of course wear headphones please put them up and let's check it out first let's start with the Denon buyer in the JBL charge 3 and it read from soul person and princess freesia the dinner we'll be playing first the JBL it sounds a bit couples is it was broken or something the trade wall and this yes if some weed was taken away or so much broader soundstage it's quite a different experience you are getting from the denim another quick also listen here to the definition of the drums hi heads and everything chari regardless how you turn it I think it doesn't make sense to continue in further with this right that's why this in here is if you listen for some long betrayed mp3 without any detail in the trash thinks of intermodulation at around half volume and here the travel is not clean anymore although the JDL maybe appear slightly more punchy so it has this artificial trick but when we decrease volume like this for example for more ambient listening let's do this on that tragedy as well I think this is already the first volume step after the update they really changed everything even the volume stepping is different now so this really becomes quite a bit kitchen area or like sounding let me try matching then roasted peppers and an outright system here as if to speak up we're playing some effects coming from here and here that radio and not sure why there has been put into drivers course we can also try what happens when we increase volume and the nice thing about the denim is that the sound remains small is the same of course with some base width option but a decent main characteristics remains remains the same when I do this with the trust way way more you still get some nice error here with the demand let's final track so the JBL will definitely appeal or simply also because it pushes meets way more and higher levels this still sounds a little puller maybe also softer but apart from that let's try some rock track both are playing it makes you know this is the denim this modification here so the venom definitely remains cleaner at high levels now the Riverina but keep in mind that together with the optional battery it's quite a bit more expensive and also way larger let's start again with the end then on it's simply way more defined especially made and travel sound much more direct by the river appears with diffuse it's why this listen to the sound of the violin which starts to have a disappear on the river it's not easy to mention as the meets are simply way more yeah of course at high levels that demouth cannot quite compete anymore the reverse way more powerful but let's check them at higher levels I solve X's so this is the Darren in it has more base the river there not surprising but still the venom appears clearer so let's tell them for maximum becomes infamous sounding but it seems as if the treble beginning software it was before not sure which is better here this fight the river being louder it's louder more powerful so face his home quarter but still there then on somehow sounds nice and more - for some it's even close to blasphemy to compare the smaller and cheaper than on via against a fee for anything key which is something like the king of portable speakers still let's try again then I'm playing first fee-farm not a crack Yeji file appears even more we find somehow multi paint film is somehow small find another style a little track both shoot very well with more acoustic stuffs or not dance crap and so on just really detailed and great recorded music here that all sound great on their own just a little bit different so this has more meets maybe this sounds a bit warmer you can hear this pipe something different that venom can easily compete here you know you think inference has to be come in a bit too sharp I'm drowning the keeper for neutral I'm not sure this will work it usually doesn't they works better on Android but iOS check is still quite unusable here it is and goodness and let's try to turn it to neutral and have listen again but this will make the salt also cleaner try to make sure that it is better then also at low levels yeah now with neutral is it more pronounced this becomes simply too thin even with late night to the FIFA still sounds thinner if this is more and more compelling may eat more I don't know more exciting maybe increase again game or less equal loudness let's try this with SOPA soma you'll hear really the difference in Jason yeah I would say that demo who's here especially a FIFA with neutral get stats to sound great at high level let's try this and of course he had been on will start to reduce base from here on why the FIFA will become better and better than higher we turn it so let's try how they perform at higher levels so there is at maximum and yeah is quite a difference we can again check taking the same from sunchaser how this performs on both together they don't despise something great notice over I'm not sure this is vibration now something is vibrating too much over here something is a grating here yeah that's the problem of the passive Raiders as they are so close just emitting through a slit so we can hear some airflow already here then on doesn't maybe a comparison against an omni directions because a little bit unfair but still both Coast mode is the same so let's compare them anyhow again then I'm playing first is quite impressive it's not there a one plane here but this is the stereo imaging from here one and you can again these typical Randolph's target it tries to push lower base way too much and this results in this kind of this motion so the denim that listens myself costs only direct direct sound but still not rack and here you definitely benefit from this great soundstage a one he would need a second one but from what I heard the connection is not very very stable still I think this sounds a bit more defiant with more definition now track from Simon gray and his life group Facebook operation funky maybe let a wonder what maybe some better and less like this let's hope it will remain like this is somehow better let's try this if it starts the a1 now now the denim gives a little bit more covered impression but this is just because the a1 is so boosted in the trail region way too much trouble like this so they obviously tuned it for a net placement let me a bose sound a little bit well let's call it high five this right is every suffering place like this none attract pain a lot from circus on faces fever the lazy clean it's a listen which one is louder and of course of exes that then one cannot compete the a one remains small as the same so increase in volume to maximum 31 right loud maybe softer but also more natural no bass sounds my mama in effect also from sofas on princes freesia based on a thread from the seventies anyone is definitely not a year but responsible process so as part of this we could try the boss southern revolve plus the boss is again a 360 degrees because just like labia play 1 so we got this from where listen you will get more less the same sound may be a little bit unfair but let's compare this to also remember the boss is quite a bit more expensive then I'm playing first opposed yes I mentioned eccentric I'm cami result may be racial hood there then I'm like this now that post becomes Elba traitor so you see where the advantage of accommodation speakers but if you want to sit directly in front of the speaker that then gives a better result so the demo it sounds equally bad from behind and you can hear the song remains the same while the down on the hoses of course so this is not an option omnidirectional speaker but at least it sounds really great exactly onyx is why this becomes a bit strange sounding so you can give a sound just strange so if you don't intend to walk around your speaker I would definitely take the denim so let's increase volume I'm not sure if the denim can be as loud as you can hear the sound remains nicely under control doesn't change or doesn't appear compress the bows much more compressed so now the spice kind of compete with the pros let's write something else you can hear see also progression but also way out while this is of course softer but still sounds normal I must confess and not only press but simply blown away it's been quite a long time I have heard such a nicely and tasteful tone sound natural sound out of something that's more it sounds great at low levels and high levels even up to makes me it's not the loudest you could hear the charge sweet would play louder but it's a little slower so there is some intermodulation distortion the treble becomes quite scruffy also it's trying to push meats way more to appear louder why the Denon maintains the same quality up to maximum there is some slight limiting so it's really high levers with particular songs you would maybe hear how it becomes soft we're doing some parts but it's already not enough like this the a1 quite hydrated I think the Denon sounds way more natural if you sit exactly in the sweet spot then a1 has of course the other the advantage that it's an own directions because you get the same sound when you walk around the same father both but you could hear it sounded really strange compared to the den on the FIFA yeah it would need a little bit more warmth it's still more precise more detail than the diamond but it's also twice the price so for this size it's really impressive what they don't squeeze out here with clever DSP processing psycho acoustic tricks and so on yeah I'm really impressed and I would get so far that I would like to compare it against the FIFA Oslo in my upcoming video still one of my very favorites because but it's quite large I think that normal levels this can easily compete even maybe exceeding the pifo Oslo in of course in sound stage and also a little bit more warm there also of course can play much louder and maintains the quality up to maximum but I mean size-wise they are not quite comparable also priced $200 against I think 500 so it's quite a difference still for me the worthy winner of the best portable speaker 2017 no other speaker comes close in sound to this in this size in also in this price there are of course larger more expensive speakers that are better I mean no I always asked which cheap speaker can i buy forget all low budgets because invest some money and buy this one we'll be definitely satisfied it's I mean it's a sound you won't get from any other speaker simply because of this openness this depth warmth it has everything it's not exaggerated at low levels it has some nice base books but not as strong as both usually does with there's something new which tends to sound really boo me you can place this in a corner and it will still sound really powerful right impressed how much dynamics it maintains I compare it a little bit against the Oslo yeah in my upcoming video I really want to put it against it and because they also had higher levels it meant it manages to retain more dynamics more of the transients their texts but they have this impressive don't forget these are two tiny 40 millimeter drivers two four inch drivers with one huge messy freighter at the back while the FIFA Helsinki here has two woofers two main drivers and also to Percy freighters and the denim at normal levels somehow manages to get to exceed the if I have sinking I'm not even talking about the arena whether all Soundlink revolve to us and so on so yeah for me definitely the absolute winner 2017 I was impressed by the diamond box but the sound is not as we find let's say is from the denim so at normal levels at home you take this from the bathroom to the kitchen or your living room or whatever and I think a much better solution than a multi-room system with having to buy five six different speakers this sounds definitely better than this almost play wander just yet no no you would need pool and then they are stationary but this is portable you can take it with you you can get go traveling and so on and so on so yeah I think that they don't really deserves this I'm so impressed really it's been a long time I have heard such a great speaker overall gate has some slight flaws with volume control and also it'll be too much this may be but for normal use it's simply amazing really I'm blown away so I hope this could give you a fair idea about the denim and via get really a huge step above the old denim via which was already great but this is yeah even a glass higher so thanks all for watching and see you in the next video probably against the FIFA Oslo thanks a lot
