Vifa Helsinki vs B&O Beoplay A2 - soundcheck

2016-03-22
hi today we are going to compare two really interesting speakers the FIFA Helsinki which is maybe what I think the best sounding portable speaker I've heard so far and the bangle of some pure play - both are quite comparable they also have a similar price tag both companies are from Denmark both speakers are green and both look a little bit like handbags as you can see a little bit uncommon for a speaker but of course the main differences between these two are that the a2 is a 360-degree speaker so you get sound from the front and from the back while the FIFA Elson key is a more traditional high five - on speaker of course I tried measuring both and if we have a look at the frequency response measurements you can see that the a2 measures a little bit like some mountain landscape so it has deep bass it has some nice shrill treble but well everything between is a little bit woolly while if you look at the FIFA Helsinki especially with the late type tuning it measures like a straight flat red line of course you only get the sound if you are sitting directly in front while the Bang & Olufsen you play a - emits sound in a 360-degree way so I thought we will hear how these both compare as always I'm using high quality binaural microphones you should really listen with headphones to get the most realistic result so please put your headphones up and let's have a listen to this tool first let's start to listen at lower levels which is definitely a strength of the band all of you play a tool while f if I don't think you rather prefers high levels I'm starting with a few files in key first I think you can hear the different approach to some tuning very strong emphasis on higher treble also base is pretty dominant but the meats sound a bit Hollow if I think it has a much more natural sound of course this changes if we start moving around the room the lemon also maintains the sound quality also from behind you can still listen well while for the before you simply have to sit directly in front I increased volume slightly and put this because a bit far away you know you won't crank them when sitting directly in front let's have a listen to a classical track from Tchaikovsky starting with the 50s thank you first you yeah think you can hear that this sounds a bit artificial not like some Orchestra but more like some synthesized instruments there is something wrong with the frequency response maybe some chess because sounds a bit more diffuse I got thought yes yes the boughs okay - yeah or Russian dance music some retro 80s kind of disco sound wait yeah even more a tip think although this is a modern prep from savasana hear the vocals are somewhere trapped within their I don't know how to describe oh come on it suddenly became more reggae so let's listen to some blues rock and now I increased volume is more and put them closer to the wall let's have a listen again starting with the F if I think you first you're playing a tall start swallowing the whole dynamics the drums have disappeared only high hats and cymbals F remain this still sounds like the original recording yet becomes some sizzling strange kind of song let's try something else also very dynamic electronic drums yeah this is a little bit messy yes again yeah the salsa bit strange the telephone no press there is still lots of punch with the pricing hey let's try the a - yeah bass drum has disappeared I have the difference is my delay here I will increase volume for maximum involved doesn't go any louder if he fights well here it is something else yet became a toy speaker here even the 360-degree song won't help anymore some disco yes a different Freck yeah I don't know I mean it's trying to be loud but you cannot let's try this last wreck the whole dynamics is simply missing here yeah no this is a joke doesn't make sense to compare yeah I think you would hear it if you want the best sounding hand back yeah this is the FIFA L sinky while the Biot play a2 is not a bad speaker but simply compared against their FIFA it sounds a bit tight especially at high levels it's close to unusable also battery life is really ridiculous at maximum volume you will get 50 minutes then it drops exactly to half while with the favela stinky this is not some battery King but I measured more than two and a half hours it makes the moment you could hear that it's it sounded still powerful and was also louder than them and then a two so yeah I hope you liked this video yeah I hope I could convince you again for the FIFA Helsinki as I think this is simply the best sounding portable speaker while being still portable I mean you see how small it is it cannot compete against larger speakers like the I Phi X s nine nine or even the larger FIFA Copenhagen I hope I will get a Copenhagen soon for comparison and we could maybe try putting the Copenhagen against some bigger speakers like the boom stir excel from TOEFL or the is nine it will be interesting to hear how a high-end hi-5 portable speaker sounds against some boom boxes like those so thanks again for watching I hope you liked it yeah please fold up when possible please support me and we will see us in the next video thanks and bye bye you
