hello this is going to be a last video about my Bose Soundlink wireless music system this is a kind of old timer in the mean time and although I like the speaker quite a lot I'm going to sell it in my case it was replaced by the JBL Xtreme not that the Xtreme is sounding that much better in reality even that Bose is a bit more balanced despite being a boss but the JBL is simply more racked it has a better battery and so on but still impressive that the speaker six-year-old can keep up with a very actual and new design it's even based on an older design on the bose sound TOC portable that was released eight years ago and it took other companies quite a time to release something comparable still the bose can play quite a bit louder than the extreme but it doesn't sound that great at maximum volume if I match both so that the JBL is playing at maximum and the bose with a comparable volume i still think that the JBL sounds a bit better because the bose is already starting to lose a bit of punch and dynamics and i thought as the last video we should do some auto sound check to see how they sound how they compare and later on we will also go indoors and check them at normal listening levels the JBL is still a bit more bass heavy which is surprising because they're both is not a slouch or on bass so I'm wearing binaural microphones as always please put up your headphones and have a listen as you can see I tried building a kind of primitive natural shelf and put them closer to the floor as you might know this increases bass response quite a bit I will turn both on now they're both needs a remote control to be turned on and the JBL is playing at maximum volume while the bose is matched to the volume of the JBL extreme and later on we will increase volume on both as well but first let's start with metronome for both I'm starting with the boss it's a little bit windy so yeah I cannot avoid it let's have a listen I mean they are comparable in a volume of sound and and bass response and so on but the both can play much louder of course over with quite a bit of compression of distortion let's turn on the bows for maximum now you can hear that it's a bit struggling but if you want to make noise well it's noisy of course JBL mm oh yeah this is quite a difference but GBL still sounds well normal I will reduce volume again to match them and let's try not a threat I would like to see how they sound from from an ale how much thread of lost air is the pose well they are quite similar but let's try increase volume again on the clothes yeah this is nearly well twice as loud but of course not as restrained as the JDL now there's lots of distortion of ecology I would use volume again let's write out a track and let's see how far I can go away until bluetooth connection connection breaks up yeah I'm in the Sun now in the JBL I mean they are not extremely loud this is not a speaker for or the whole village like the Hiva XS 9 but it's loud enough to make some small events of small party with friends now the boss again but between may be here they are matched volume-wise but the boss sounds a bit more forced already with this song while the JBL still sounds pretty good there is still the sponge and everything missing from the polls let's try a song from nocopyrightsounds these are mustard really fat I mean they have already they contain lots of compression already so most speakers cannot compress much more let's have a listen how both sound with this the JBL appeals at this lower volume but I think this on the better more function although I can increase volume again on the post that's why the result is not very convincing the video is simply not pushed as far by the engineers who filmed it although I think it could be made even a bit louder with more DSP processing more compression and so on the boss I cannot let you me they're very noisy very distorted okay let's go indoors now now let's check out why they compared at normal listing levels I will be playing them it slightly above half volume and starting with the boss let's try not a trick became something else Oh or something like that yeah the extreme sounds a bit booming with this trend there are some first hints of distortion away yeah it's definitely an impressive speaker for that age that it has I mean both discontinued it of some years ago already like the boss Sontag potable as well the Soundlink air and the only speaker which still has the same acoustics is the suntouch 20 I think but there is no portable speaker with this with this acoustic core it's a bit a pity because it's really it has lots of potential I mean both simply took away the dock part here and left it empty they could have maybe even integrated the battery inside so it would be even smaller yeah if you can get one on eBay cheaply I would definitely recommend it because it's still a very very decent speaker and I think it sounds a little bit more balanced there is some harshness in the treble of the post but otherwise the bass which is deeper and it's not as booming as the JBL with some tracks the JBL already starts distorting slightly above half especially especially bass drums becoming a getting this dirtiness which the bose is rather missing and it's it plays very very loud as we have heard so yeah this was my last test of the post something while it's music system it's going to another owner now and yeah thanks for watching I hope this was helpful for anyone still interested in this vintage speaker I think it's great it was great it's still great and competes with speakers which are well now currently on the market thanks a lot for watching and see you in the next video bye-bye you
