hi everyone and welcome today we are going to look at the boom box more targeted at professional users or musicians entertainers and so on no kiddie stuff this time this is the Mickey free play life recently Mickey s released three different speakers for the free play lineup this is the biggest one the free play life there's also a medium sized one the free play home and the small one I only have these two but this time we will concentrate on the biggest one next time we will check the free play home so what is this here it's not a boom box it's more like PA speaker equipped with XLR inputs also a monitor out so it's really more aimed at musicians but it has a battery built-in also Bluetooth so you can misuse it as some kind of boombox apart from that there's also some EQ mode music life it also has some user adjustable EQ through the app also some free channel mixer which is quite nice I would like to show you this also demonstrate with a sound first we'll get a listen here indoors at normal levels I thought we'll compare it against the powerful booster which is the closest competitor and fuses around $400 this is around 300 to 350 euros so quite comparable so first how do they sound indoors at rather normal levels and later on yeah it's currently snowing so let's get out and listen at higher levels at maximum which one is louder and so on I already included the Mickey free play home also the life if life in the home both are included with my database unfortunately I yeah I didn't quite notice that volume control is not synced therefore the maximum volume recording is not playing at maximum it's way louder I noticed it up afterwards so I will correct the recordings but yeah as for now let's check it here with this video I will use my phone or microphones also head cam for this kind of first person impression and 3d sound put up your headphones and let's check it out I will start with analog a song from so persona impresses freedom as you can see the actual volume level unfortunately volume is not in sync so I will increase it to maximum so we have the entire volume range from here you can also switch between two different EQ modes this is life which is more neutral there's also a music EQ which beats bass and treble slightly life against and I would also like to show you the app you can also switch between music and life here and you'll see the three channel mixer each of the channels has an on 3-band equalizer and a reverb sent channel but bluetooth has only the 3-band equalizer so you can also increase travel needs or bass and this also works on top of the music mode so you would get even yes double the base maybe here there is no real lower base that place rather starts to roll off at around 80 Hertz so I will again reverse to life let's increase volume slightly and let's compare it to the quarter so I want to switch to a music balls as this yeah it makes them a little more comparable let me see yep again we reduced a slightly so also increase Trevor and me like this I think can still hear that their voices sound somehow bigger so more sparkling more kick more lower pay this is a little movie because of this strong bass boost this right now - you can hear way deeper bass acoustic 50s a little bit near boring it's quite a new first song but simply without any any amateur side trains or whatever not work I'm switching him back to life mode maybe here it sounds more like some kitchen review like this so music definitely makes it sound better but also a little bit more booming something else it's quite a new person's accelerate of extension both traveling days that's right something else the Sun is the neutral not come up in any way it's not really impressive let's write history listens let the apexes can hear the dispersion is quite nice but on both so the sound doesn't become much worse of X's but you can definitely hear if I'm standing in the room mode you can hear a much lower base from the talker yet the ponies the taifa will start to reduce base from some certain point on so let's increase Piper is already lost two three fourth meeting this maximum reduce space quite a bit replaces I think my recordings were distorting and way too much way so let's go out and compare them out to us volume is set to maximum both on the iPhone it slightly below half for the Mickey above half for the type of bumster and the free life is playing with its life mode and let's start with the track from Sovereign Prince region and they make you playing first if our friend it sounds a little bit the appalling Midland let's try this music mode which is spaced slightly but it's rather only some mid-face for similar to the severe extreme still has way more kick somehow doesn't sound bad quite neutral but simply without any any lower base so here can hear more refinement for the sound simply nice hula ma Mitra now track but let's see what happens if you increase volume so us you are still below half it starts reducing base and doesn't sound that wait anymore so for high levels this still keeps the kick so here for Mama levels I wouldn't choose the Mickey while at high levels it definitely sounds quite a bit better they're still in above half so there is way more volume let's write this right and thus increased way more - this is mixing call it - sir it has to sound like a kitchen video so increase the Mexico may come as well hand it in here quite loud peace all over again yeah this is the maximum so it has no chance against regarding some Rock Creek so not sure how I can get without falling over so I may be 15 or 20 meters away no - you can hear it start sounding really lost you could try also adjusting basing I hope to say work my own is completely wet we have the option for some additional fertilizer so we could make it even louder let's increase basing now although you can you can hear the limiter already working so look like that layer again Pfeiffer this is it sounds like a clock rate you know at this distance you can hear it sounds quieter see for Tyler's maybe let's make some slides my respawn base around half Mary no chief it's better when okay if you the limited Aussies were that much here it's something more regular if you it like that can't I play yeah come closer again but people tell us also this is not your fault you can manage this version seems quite nice from both so more base to the site somehow every play you can hear it has no base to the side not sure why I mean some panel here some other side it something better than confirm up and not sure why the base doesn't go to the front really let's try maybe not rec let's listen to the base so purposes full of homicide by freak you know voice a great speaker has no chance against their and make you feel like they're not perfectly clean thoughts really not if you consider that they're horrible Sanji's nearly as loud as the JBL home box so the neck is way louder there's some nice low base but simply a consult this doesn't have this lower base everything from the side identity some fuller somehow maybe cause mids and travel is not as pronounced anymore so I think there Mickey Freda life does a great job for high-level some nice party speaker this was sounded like how much watsonater all the drag it's not hundred percent clean but still I think quite useable so when I reduce volume to same level it's appropriate parties have mixing now while they make nice it hurts so quite an impressive Palace because if loudness is important I figured here out was the title had no chance the hotness wise not enclosed if you keep in mind that the GBI boom box is about as loud as the powerful boom stir they make is way way louder yeah I'm quite impressed although at normal levels you could hear the sound is a bit underwhelming it's quite neutral so let's check some frequency response measurements this is with its life mode and if we switch to music EQ you can see it boosts bass with a peak at around 80 Hertz at the same time there is some slight treble boost but overall the sound appears a bit more booming then how does it's may be nice and you could hear it didn't reduce bass at all even at maximum we can also check out the 3 band EQ and you can see all settings with bass mid treble at maximum and at minimum so the bass control X is some kind of low shelf starting at around 500 600 Hertz trailer control is a high shelf starting at around 1 kilo Hertz and meat is a simple band pass filter so overall I think it's really nice it's not for normal listening but for others making some party it misses this lower base so the sound is not that exciting but here the XI loudness is really impressive maybe you should go out and do some SPL measurement I think it's even louder than JBL party box but of course without this impressive bass still I think it's quite a nice speaker not too heavy maybe not even 4 kilograms so much lighter than this Bose s1 or something but of course without this this this bass still you could hear quite control after make some very slight distortion so it's really impressive and next time we will check out the free play home which is also nice but maybe not as impressive as so I hope you like this video again sorry for my database I will have to rerecord the maximum volume setting yeah I because here volume is in sync so when I confirm free iPhone it also controls here my heat was set to some some level I turned volume to maximum and thought it was already at maximum I was surprised it's not louder nothing really if it was I should have turn it to make some directly on the speaker so I hope this could give you some idea about the sound was about the loudness if you want next time I will go out and do some SPL measurement please tell me if you need this but loudness wise they are not comparable so it should be well other than a total boom store Excel I think it should easily reach more than hundred 10 decibels from what I could hear now so thanks all for watching and see the next video probably with the free play home to realize time
