hi and welcome today we will try to figure out if it's still worth buying that both something we need to in 2017 worldwide this is still one of the most popular and best sold Bluetooth speaker UNIX errors but now even both came up with a new model or a successor the sounding revolve which I personally liked much more because of the 360 degree or a directional sound also better and more rugged build quality but it's not that great for critical listening or if you really want to sit directly in front of the speaker the sonic mean might be better but now there are many other speakers much cheaper ones this sounds better but before taking a look at these some history first when the Bose Soundlink me the first version was released on years ago this was some kind of revolution this was really the first because it was able to produce some big full-bodied sound that many others or all others were not able for example the gem box was popular back then the beats pill they claimed big bass heavy bass but in reality they both on the very first which really opportunities this heavy sound especially at low levels all the others have skinny created sounds and it was unique back then so it was the only one and there was no real alternative but it was not without flaws when I bought it I went to the Bose store the very first day they released it I played too young to die from Jamiroquai and I already could hear that there is something wrong with the bass it was there was some distortion the bass sounded uncontrolled also treble was a little bit yeah muffled still I bought it immediately because it was so impressive I came back from the store wow I've never heard a speaker so small producing such a big amount of bass of course I knew that there were many traits to achieve this I had the Howard opposed computer music monitors at home one of them is not much larger than something mini maybe even smaller still sounds better it would be a mono speaker but it's constantly better more controlled bass nice a treble my hope was always that both would release something like a portable in music motor that was one version for the Japanese market with which took batteries but this reduced volume and they didn't really last long so they're still the Bose Soundlink mini was quite unique and great but it was never perfect then those two years later they released the solving clinical which really didn't improve much on the sound so they just added USB charging some voice prompt nice bluetooth pairing features and so on but the sound didn't change a lot they just reduced based lightly but the trebles feel was muffled about 10 kilos is hardly anything and too much intimate relations on at during the time the other companies simply caught up they they tried to copy this design and offered better results for exactly the gen heavy metal or the cyclonic getting reuler are all blatant copies of the Soundlink mini but with better results they sometimes we better have better treble I'm not sure why both never took another look at this and and to achieve a better sound also the Kenton music excess is more or less based on the boss but with better results with better treble so now looking at the Soundlink mini - now it's a little bit disappointing and i thought we'll compare it against three speakers that i prepare a very cheap from the ice sound bar this is the SL thousand or the older of model there is a new one I think kr thousand which I also have but it's going to be improved in reality it works there is some distortion with base which there SL thousand doesn't have the most impressive thing is this 3d mode which is included with some some next audio algorithm which opens the stereo feels quite a lot and also bases deep but not as boosted as with the Bose so it's because as you can get for $40 especially for lower levels delivers much better results than they both sound with mini if you really want to listen directly from front unlike the summative off which sounds the same regardless from where you listen then here I have the anchor sound caboose and you release currently $80 so less than half the price of the boat most perfect but with this base top feature you really get this full-bodied sound of the Bose at low levels at mid-level is there is some slight distortion with bass top so it's better to maybe turn it off but it's also a louder without the strange compression which kicks in on the both at higher levels you can hear it rather and there is some volume ramping also much better battery life is also more rugged physically so I think that the anchor is also a better alternative and last but not least the henwood 8's bt 77 this is a Japan release only Japan or in Japan but there are some Chinese versions that you can get on the Chinese local market for around thirty forty dollars I'm not sure if they are really completely equal they look exactly the same they have a different brand a friend of mine is trying to get hold of such as because in order to really be able to compare them but still you can get one of these also similar ones on the canadian amazon score for around $120 settings and also much better alternative than they both this has a completely - like flex tuning also an edit surround mode similar to the them I found by here but with better results it also kicks up well it holds up well at high levels so even as maximum still sounds normal unlike the power switch just does really strange stuff so I thought will compare the bowls against these three doesn't really make sense to compare it against any other speaker like a one from Dino dilution which is much better or the Riva S which is also better so I really want to concentrate on these three years simply to show you that there are better alternatives and it's not really worth spending $180 for a speaker like that which has so many flaws and doesn't really sound that great so it's always only of course using a head cam to offer you a first-person view also my general microphone and you should of course listen with headphones this leather the headphones are tuned the better I use the Sennheiser HD 600 as reference so with these you will get the most realistic impression so please put your headphones up and let's check them out first let's compare the bosonic me to against the chip a sound bar displaying with its 3d mode which is I think the most impressive one I will start with the boson Tecna - and the trek from supersonic princess feature laughing Oh her phone oh yeah also its lower levels and you get this incredible sound stage with the high sound bar here now let's compare the sonic me to against the Incas on caboose switches around half the price the entice playing with its base up mode and the boss will begin first competitive ear be six seven eight zero eight emphasis which tries to simulate some clarity the Inca is a much meta tuning without result which pays up some other phone something could be there it won't get me the song and let's write how they perform at higher levels is the suppose increasing volume to maximum maximum now the ink as well mix them and quite quite obviously proposed from restraint is not much louder but it keeps all dynamics and while they both compress this LS anyway and last but not least the Kenwood PT 77 this is not me anymore in fact it's older than the sonic me too and was released one year after the first version of the balsamic meaning they can would explain with its 3d or surround mode and the boss will be playing for so let's have a listen you don't turn off this the remote is aspirational I think the project equipped to do the song you can already hear lots of distortion coming from the boss here the camera what a song another thing we never change I love my girl goes to me again and let's check them to higher level so this is collectibles increasing volume to maximum maximum babies French it is toxic appropriate right I think or I hope you could hear that they're both really struggled with some tracks there was some strange distortion you could hear some interrelation bass bleed him into the treble so most of them simply outperformed it the ice sound bar doesn't have this boosted bass so it sounded maybe a bit flatter also more pronounced with treble but still I really love this 3d a mode which gives you the effect of listening to to difference because a much more open sound and they both which simply sounds a little bit muffled and undefined also the anchor is better it still would be better without discover or grill I hope anchor will have a second look at it and maybe boost treble slightly but it could maybe hear that that anchor had a letter response were headed boss as the strange presence boost at five six seven kilowatts which adds the squishy sound so it doesn't really sound that great they try to simulate some some clarity thanks to this boost but any real upper treble is simply missing and I think there can would completely outperform the Bose and it's maybe one that is not a real copy of the boss it's a two-point one system and it came shortly it was released shortly after their first bose soundlink mini so I don't think they tried to copy the post like many others did but they went for something completely different also didn't try to go with this very basic sound but much more I find also add this 3d mode I'm not sure it's not a next organ fact it's something from Yamaha and maybe I will get some more info when I when I get the Chinese version unfortunetely it's only available on the Chinese market so it's not exported but I had some talk to the two main bank good context maybe they will try to sell it through banggood and then you will have the option to buy it abroad as well still I think the Kenwood or the look-alikes copies if they are really perform the same is a great deal and much better than the both battery life is all that great but you can also use it as PC audio speaker so simply place it in front of or below your display with this edit 3d mode you have the impression as if you were listening to two separate speakers while still having something portable with great sound so just to conclude I don't think it's really worth spending under $80 for the song ignatow today it was great four years ago when it was released the first time it was a revolution I really loved it but when I started to listen more critically I heard distortion with every second track it couldn't handle any any bass drum the book did some really strange stuff they improved it a little bit understanding me too on the Soundlink meaning of the first one it was unbearable but it's still very very subpar so the anchor offers you a much better performance and many others because as well which I cannot presenters I don't own them anymore but for example the taotronics boom eggs it cost I think 32 dollars and still sounds better than the boss while trying to imitate the boss so there are a lot of alternatives and the speaker's become better and better while both and not sure if they will release a sonic mini 3 I personally really like the southern quiz off and seats really doesn't make how you place it I had it in my scooter like this upside down and it sounded great regardless if it's played if it's placed in the center of a room outwards and it placed nicely control and nicely controlled something that sounds like you need to cannot so it does just hope that both will release some success or some real successor the sounding minute read maybe with a comparable sound to the computer music mojitos which sound really great I love them also none of these strange distortion issues or the strange droning bass effect I don't know so I personally my opinion is that it's not worth buying it there are many better speakers and new are coming out every day so let's see what's coming up next I hope this could give you some idea and a nice Oh Rhonda is definitely the anchor below hundred dollars but maybe anchor will even tweak it for an even better sound so let's see I'm awaiting a response from them the only thing it would need is a little bit retooling of base up it becomes too uncontrolled at mid levels and maybe a slight level boost then it would be really killer great battery life also loud enough way louder than the bows and without strange compression issues or something so overall I would probably take the the anchor sound code boosters your world winner I even like it more than the JBL flip for which is very very hard sound and loses bass at maximum it's louder than the anchor but actually this battery is worse and at low levels it doesn't give you this full but it sounded to get when you enable bass up here yeah thanks for watching I hope you liked it anyhow and not trying to bash both but I think you think the hype is outdated it doesn't need any help anymore is there are so many alternatives now but back then I remember four years ago it was so laughable comparing the Bose to the gem box it costed the same it cost $200 the gem box was released the same price from the boat it sounded like a complete array here like a disaster and they look any big bass jam box the name alone it says it all the bows were the first ones who showed what is possible with some clever DSP processing some clever tricks the drivers are not great they try it or they they they claim that they they their drivers push twice the air of normal drivers they have some strange dual membrane I'm not sure what's for because they are pretty crappy the anchor is very normal drivers and sound better with better travel dispersion and better 12 / so the boat is really dated now and should need some some we tweaked or I don't know I definitely prefer the revolves but for normal listening let's say sitting directly in front of the speaker which of course also good question for a portable unit that you place somewhere walk around still I was probably get the anchor the Kenwood is only ready Japan so far but maybe we'll find the Chinese versions the cheap ones $40 and if you really get this performance for $40 this will be incredible I hope they mean I cannot say if it's really the same speaker it looks exactly the same the same features the same Yamaha processing but maybe they use some cheaper drivers I don't know yeah so now I'm finished again thanks a lot for watching and see you in the next video I hope I didn't bore you too much this time but some interesting stuff is coming up next so stay tuned and bye bye
