Fugoo XL vs JBL Xtreme - outdoor soundcheck

2015-11-18
hello and welcome to my Auto comparison between the FUBU XL and the JBL extreme if you haven't seen my previous endo comparison please have a look at this first this time we would like to concentrate more on sound outdoors how they perform how loud they can play and so on first I thought we would like to simulate some kind of situation where you sit around we are friends the speaker is placed in the center to show you how everyone will hear the sound I will place the speaker's here and then listen to them from some of these places of course I will be using binaural microphones so you should listen with headphones for the best results sorry no classics this time but I will be playing some EDM tracks with the first from continuum called eternal echoes so please put up your headphones and let's have a listen as usual I will start with the fugu XL first and back to from where we started that circle is closed now and I think it was pretty clear that the 360 degrees Santa's version of the for Excel worked pretty well to entertain everyone sitting around the JBL appeared maybe a bit more punchy but everyone sitting behind would rather only get bass so I thought we will do the same now with me wearing a head cam and switching life to see how they compare I will turn the full XL to maximum it's still in normal mode the JBL extreme is matched volume wise so it's still quite a bit below maximum I will start with the XL first and then walk around there is quite a bit of distortion already I will come back give you extreme for Maxim's well now you still have this ramp up but I think you can hear that this big wave cell is quite a bit lower in overall volume especially in normal mode I will try turning on outdoor mode there is still quite a bit louder let's try not attract yeah the difference is pretty obvious yeah we still have this ramp up it's quite hard to judge the loudness difference if the speaker becomes louder after some time some DB louder the group of which there from behind there is not much on there JBL let's try another trick again I'm using two I forced to switch as I thought it would be easier to avoid this ramp up but when it isn't I will go away a bit further to see how they perform from some distance loofa which is still there but the JBL is simply quite a bit louder so for all the party yes I mean the difference is not huge but the punch you get from the JBL is yeah extreme maybe therefore the name let's try not attract again from savasana the Blue Ridge is starting to fade on both I will come closer again I cannot avoid this ramp I'm sorry but you also hear that there is quite a bit of distortion already on the story itself I mean the JBL doesn't sound that great for maximum you hear it sunsets are so but well or making some noise because it's pretty good I think yeah maybe we should try to make a more controlled comparison I will try setting up something I thought we could prepare a controlled sound pressure level metering with the speaker's slightly elevated standing on a bench and the microphone exactly one meter away I will use see waiting and play this because one after the other do the switching in post-processing so you can hear and see which one is louder and by how much I'm standing one meter behind the measuring microphone which is two meters away from the speakers both because we'll be playing at their maximum volume with the Fuji excel in auto mode I will start with the few Excel first yes so yeah I hope you liked this video I hope it was helpful I think it was pretty clear that the food work cell couldn't quite compete with the JBL extreme loudness wise we've also seen it in the sound pressure level metering but you could maybe also hear that the JBL was already struggling a bit with the dance track their bass drum started to bubble a little bit whoop look why the FEU XL despite having some tendency to distort sounded more convincing with these tracks still the JBL extreme has their more pumping sound outdoors the huge bass boost is definitely an advantage while the deeper bass response of the fugu XL gets a little bit lost outdoors indoors I would definitely choose the full XL you also don't need these high loudness levels and I personally like the 360 degree sound dispersion a lot if you're out with friends simply put the speaker in the center and everyone will get great sound while with the JBL you should put it somewhere aside because it only sounds great from from front still for really making some noise both will not be enough I mean you will need a bigger speaker like the IVA XS 9 I already prepared some videos about that Lexus 9 it costs the same still I mean it's larger it's also heavier but for making output party outer event the IVA XS 9 is much better than both of these yeah I think this was it I will probably prepare some other videos of the few excel when some new speakers arrive I'm waiting for the library tones e-mini currently also a 360 degree speaker and we've claimed 60 watts of amplifier so it might be interesting but it's not as recline in this is a rack model you can drop it and nothing happens you can put it underwater and nothing happens the library turns if is more a multi room still may be interesting so next video will be probably fugu XL versus live return zip mini so stay tuned for this thanks for watching and we will see us in the next video have a nice time and bye bye you
