RIVA S vs Bose Soundlink Mini - soundcheck

2015-11-21
hello today I would like to discuss with you the most important question with which is the best portable Bluetooth speaker they don't I mean yeah I really like it a lot great speaker or the JBL charge tool also great speaker just look at Amazon on the reviews the calf Muir pretty good speaker or the ballast and we'll Kings t7 what I forgive it five stars some other magazines gave it five stars definitely one of the best speakers according to them but I think the best speaker is their Bose Soundlink mini look at all the reviews there are thousands of user reviews on Amazon also it's one of the most sold portable speakers until today so it must be simply great but now I have here the new brand new rear is and this is not just some Bose copy like some others we have heard that count on music box for example or the anchor premium speaker the gem heavy metal they all use the same design with two drivers two passive radiators Riva came up with something completely new they have three main drivers to add the sides one here in the center and four passive radiators so this thing has seven drivers inside they use trillium processing to enhance the stereo field and so on and I think it's a really good sounding speaker therefore I would like to compare it against the number one until now they both sounding mini maybe will also check it against the highly regarded Bowers Wilkins I bash the speak a little bit and I was bashed because of this so yeah as always I will be of course using my binaural microphones if you listen with high quality headphones you should get a pretty realistic impression of how these speakers sound but first we'll concentrate on the River s and the Bose so please put up your headphones and let's have a listen so let's turn it on and as you can see it has this near sensitive area here when I come closer with my hand the controls light up and it should connect to my iPhone already as I'm paired it takes some time so it doesn't happen immediately and there is a new app called Riva audio and I can connect to the speaker and there are some options for example I already set it to silent mode you can also enable voice prompt tones but I prefer it completely silent so yeah there are no tones and anything and we can start playing some music let's start with a kind of jazz track and I can remotely control the speaker from here and you also have the option to turn on surround mode from here this is some kind of delay between left and right a driver I don't know the exact algorithm but you definitely hear some some get eco or something with some tracks so it works better I think for movies and for also for classical music I will turn it off again it depends on the song sometimes it sounds really great with other songs it's not that good but of course you would like to know how it compares against the post I will set them up like this so that the drivers here can breathe a little bit and I'll switch to the boss now this is much more precise I mean listen to the symbols also much more spatial the sound because of the drivers that aim outwards I will turn on sir on the game it appears already a bit mushy all over the song yeah it's not very critical so you hear some slight room delay effect so I will turn off surround again and then let's try not affect this one is a bit more critical for distortion we already heard it with they come from music box here what you get here is horrible unusable the river plays the screen without any wealth any hint of problem the Canton was exactly as bad as the pose maybe even worse yeah it's simply horrible let's try not a prick also from the side it has a much better directivity this becomes yeah there is not much difference you can hear it this is merely non-directional while they pose this is very focused treble the revised much better in this regard here is nearly no change inside let's try something else again this is a track which really makes many small speakers struggle the bass together with the bass drum let's listen how they're both manages here horrible this is the best portable Bluetooth speaker the place is so unprofessional everything that I have yeah another trick some retro 70s porn music I will stand up again it's this one's okay from above yeah this is night and day difference another pack again you already hear the track becoming softer because of the compressor again something else so personal together with princess freesia a nice 80s retro disco funk bogey track or something the treble is completely missing yeah I hope it's obvious that this is night and by day difference between these two speakers the poster comes together like this but I can afford it in my hand the whole time like this another salt Poisson attract some mushy I will try increasing volume for maximum yep that boss is louder but how I'm eating the result this is unusable therefore the river doesn't compress anything you have the whole dynamics even at maximum volume while the boss tries to keep the song loud but you've heard it's horrible let's try it again both at maximum really No that's like this and it's pretty low volume now let's try the pose much louder this No I mean yeah the post was not as loud anymore the problem is they try keeping the level always maximum but when you get this punch some kicker here it struggles while the river s doesn't do anything there is no dynamics processing if a song is recorded soft it will remain soft while the boss tries to make it louder than here so it depends I mean is this is not a bad speaker but compared to the reverse it becomes a toy it's it's you cannot take this serious the result you get from this with many songs I mean it's it's really struggling it appears a bit more bass heavy maybe at low levels but this is not this not natural sounding the revised sounds like like the original recalling and I'm really impressed with with with the result so far I have another highly rated speaker I was bashed a lot because my review of their Bowers & Wilkins t7 was not really positive so people criticized me for having no clue about speakers and no clue no idea about good sound yeah this costs $100 more than the river it can play quite a bit louder but the result is also yeah unusable I thought we will try a track yeah again some jazz track and have a listen how both render the same song I'm starting with the reverse again you know the powers in Philippines yeah this has some FM radio or no it sounds like a low bitrate and pith mp3 or I don't know if you tell me that this is good sound yeah then I really have no clue about a good sound there's no difference I mean this is night and day even worse than with the Bose section even know becomes a bit better on exes but how often can I listen like this I mean it's simply with one word horrible let's draw another track in soul persona yeah this is a toy speaker I think China stuff sounds better than this listen how how the sound changes when I move my head off-axis it loses everything so yeah as you can hear oh this is the river is this is the powers and wilkins t7 i hope you liked this first sump check and first impression I'm really impressed I mean it's not very loud speaker effort they both appeared louder but simply with unusable results you have this this cover here the port cover and can use this like that so its water proof water is resistant to some degree a great speaker I mean one of the best I've heard in this size and price range hey this is look when I touch it what what does is I don't know but I was bashed because I rated it badly and I have no clue about speakers so please buy the Bowers and Wilkins t7 if you really like good sound FM radio sound thanks for watching guys I hope you found this helpful in a bit and yeah I will probably do much more checks with the revised so stay tuned for more until then have a nice time and bye bye so for all these outro levels let's try David against Goliath so which one is playing though I won't tell you you choose the better one yeah you tell me which is better
