Omaker M4 vs JBL Go - soundcheck

2016-10-13
hi guys and welcome yeah I know the last video I recorded with their brand new GoPro Hero 5 session was quite a disaster I was really surprised by the bed outcome I mean the room is quite dark but it's not really much darker today still this only gives a much better image quality the image from the GoPro was somehow dark noisy also blurry so I'm really not that satisfied with it I also had stability issues of the Wi-Fi was enabled it never quite a pier that I had to reset it so for $300 a big disappointment so far I will continue using my Sony cam and I'm waiting for the new Sony X 3000 but today we are going to have a look at the Omega m4 I never had an occasion to have a listen to it until now and will compare it against the JBL go because I think they are both quite comparable on Amazon the Omega m4 goes for $27 while the JBL go depending on which color you choose calls for 25 up to 30 even $35 but you can have a promo code which is in the description and you will get it for $18 so quite a bit cheaper than the JBL I also think that the battery is much larger here the JBL at higher levels will die after 2 or 3 hours maybe this should definitely play for a longer it's also more rugged pretty light so comparable to the JBL maybe a bit larger and before having a listen maybe let's check some frequency response measurement and you can see it needs quite a treble heavy sound so the sound has a tilt upwards towards treble but this is measured exactly on axis if you measure from an angle of around 45 degrees you can see that the treble gets slightly reduced and when measured exactly sideways so measured like that you get a curve like this which is the most balanced setting but there is still this treble peak at around 14 kilohertz which can become a bit annoying but I think the best position for the Omega would be placed flat unlike the JBL which is more directional you can also place the JBL flat like this but you will lose quite a bit of treble in this case it's even better so let's turn them on both and let's have a listen to some tracks these are the welcome tones let's turn on the JBL again as well yeah and as always i'm of course using binaural microphones so please listen with headphones first maybe let's compare how both sound when place like that later on I will place the Omega flat and we'll have a listen again I will start with the Omega and a kind of funk track so please have a listen Radio it feels definitely more muffled compared to the Omega button where it is a bit more balanced the Omega is really a very treble have a speaker so I will place it slap now and you get a more omnidirectional sound and I think it sounds better because the treble is not as harsh anymore may another Freck we are already at slightly higher levels so I will increase volume if more these are both not very large because the JPL go as well and if we place yet flat it becomes a bit more muffled than the Omega I also think that uh maker has slightly bigger base although the JPL has a more boosted upper phase as we will hear how they compare at higher levels in this case the Omega sounds a little bit more make sure I would say maybe not attract it sounds fuller because of this upper bass boost but the Omega has slightly better bass punch Yates 20 for this song it feels more muffled now so the Omega has the edge here I would say it is some kind of rock track it's hard to choose the better one but I would definitely say the Omegas sounds more convincing positive like that it's a bit maybe full details but you can hear that JT Australians like them there is some compression going on already I will place both left and let's walk around yeah I have to place both to maximum hello mate as well so not that much difference loudness wise you're slightly louder for the homemaker and also more details although you have to like the spread Ojeda son may not attract some dance video in this case the JBL appears louder I think there is some compression dynamic processing going on which depending on the tracks makes it either louder or softer yeah it's really hard to choose a better one here they are off on a similar level the JBL maybe appeals slightly more full-bodied but has less slower pace another track yeah I think the edge goes to the Omega but both are not really class leading I mean if I could their show me me against them yes a bulk sonic is ridiculous maybe let's write a show me the show me is not an omnidirectional speaker but I can also try placing it like that flat which should even enhance bass slightly so let's have a listen again starting with the homemaker and I will go a bit far away get the kiss of course more muffled but in reality it's more balanced and we are hard from maximum I will increase volume for maximum as well Omega was much more base here so let's reduce volume on both we are round hot water now the one disturbing point is are the blips when you change one we always get a peep peep but now the difference becomes much more obvious the Xiaomi has loudness adjustment and sounds much cooler now of course it doesn't have this strong treble boost of the Omega this sounds get quite a bit harsher so yeah I mean for 17 dollars or 18 which would be half the price of the Xiaomi it's maybe not bad but I'm not that impressed I mean depends with some songs the JBL sounds more convincing I'm here the treble is just too harsh you'll really have to listen like that in order to get rid of it and I would also have welcomed some better bass it rolls off at 200 no 150 Hertz which is not bad but you generally you have a upward field so would have been better to make it more even maybe it's not a bad speaker also nice form factor for carrying it around or attaching to some some rucksack backpack and it's rugged waterproof so it's a nice speaker for 17 18 dollars really not bad so take the promo code if you are interested and yeah see you in the next video I hope you liked it I hope it was helpful and see you then bye bye
