hi everyone and welcome although you have my speaker audio database where you can compare us because to each other by yourself also for free as I offer this at no cost people are still asking me if I could compare this because of that one and so on problem is I don't have all of them at home anymore some of them are sold some are sent back but I still have the Harman Kardon go in play and the AIA XS 9 many were asking for this comparison end yet they both sound really great although different still quite similar the most obvious difference is that the IVA is much louder and the Harman Kardon much smaller it weighs around half the weight of the Iowa but there is also some difference in battery life as the Harman Kardon go and play at maximum will play for around maybe two hours while the Iowa will manage three hours and is at the same time quite a bit louder you can also exchange and swept the battery for another one with the ayah if you have a spare battery there is also a double capacity battery which should give you here maybe six or is it maximum but we'll concentrate on sound and later on I will also show you the difference in loudness at normal levels it's definitely a matter of taste which you prefer the armor of the hammer can go and play sounds may be a bit more open the Iowa has slightly more upper base you can of course adjust the sound with that either with the built-in equalizer the Harman Kardon current play doesn't have any but I said the equalizer on the IVA for neutral so or let's say for off so we can hear how they sound with it's with their stock tuning as always i'm of course using binaural microphones so you should listen with headphones I would start with the Harman Kardon going play and an acoustic track later on we'll also play some electronica stuff and yeah please have a listen something else Yago they are matched volume buyers the IVA has some limited built in which sometimes he pushes volume up or down depending on the sound so it's really not easy to match them for all souls this is the Harman Kardon mode I refuse maybe slightly louder come on a song let's call it up ago in the 90s this was called a sea chest high bar yeah you can make it sound slightly more booming play again Trek from Seoul / freesia if they some difference in sound although Metro face which will ignite another frack this is from the German electronica composure Sunchaser you can maybe hear the limiter to working slightly here I have the latest firmware update installed and I contacted Iowa because of this but there doesn't seem to be any fix currently it's especially noticeable as at low levels you can maybe hear that it tries to push volume down Yeah right a slide click on play again another crack some world music down painful this is from British royalty free composure and lumo music we offered me to use all these threads so thanks for that in the Iowa yeah right a bit more upper base this could be of course you want done with some equalizer both are not flat sandal if you can maybe hear before I macadam sounds a bit more open sam'l effect also from a low LUMO music some kind of rock you can hear the limit on again Conte play again you something else also from Illuminism you know that I definitely sounds softer so trying matching them again maybe some dubstep this difference in overall speakers response is pretty obvious here on a song and you will be of course interested in hearing the difference in overall loudness the go in place already playing a bass our volume so I will increase volume from excellent this is the Harman Kardon burn cleaner they're gone now they are met more or less I will increase dive up to maximum as well so you can hear the differences really big between these two go and play again also becomes it is the porti need an untracked maybe this maximum undergoing play you yeah it's weeded out don't blink enough computer so if you are after it makes you love it that is definitely the way to go Kamala Fred yeah that is really crazy how do we use volume again on both yes I told you definitely a matter of taste of all on this wise the Hammond car don't go and play cannot quite compete but it's also way smaller as you can see it's about maybe half or one-third the size three and a half kilograms this has close to six so depends what you like both are great and here in Europe they both should cost around the same in America still the Hammond cannot go and play goes for 399 so hundred dollars more expensive than the Iowa but yeah I hope this was helpful to show you and demonstrate you the difference between both check them out again within the database or switcher yes I cannot say anything more yes I told you both are really great and top speakers within its class outperforming most others I really like the Harman Kardon because it's so small but still pick some punch but of course it's not as loud as the i1 so if you want to make some party yeah take the I bar and it should do the trick also the double capacity battery which cause I don't know exactly but I heard it should cost around $70 or $80 you should get five six hours at maximum easily the man can go and play yeah has the battery built-in which is of course a pity so if it dies once you will have to probably open the speaker somehow and I don't know this is really a pity that still many companies don't really take this topic seriously I mean I heard of lots of users and owners of a Ghibli extreme where the battery died after one year and now it's it's more a paperweight so it with the Iowa you can easily exchange the battery at the back you have there you have it here just pull it out first let's turn it off let me see it's um not that easy but here we have the battery just put in another one and yeah okay now you can do this on the go if you have a second one so yeah a matter of taste definitely both are great but I cannot tell you which one I prefer more as yet both are a little bit different as well so I hope this was helpful thanks a lot for watching and see you in the next video have a nice time and bye bye
