hi today we are going to compare JBL connect against Harman Kardon dual sound what is this this is some kind of proprietary Bluetooth protocol which allows two speakers to play simultaneously there are plans to include iva-mos because then too but currently only two are supported in case of JBL connect if you have two equals because you can either set them for stereo so when we play the left the other one the right channel so wireless stereo or what they call party mode where both will play the same Harman Kardon dual sound only supports this party mode so there is no option for left and right but when while I was playing around with JBL connect also including the JBL extreme or the pulse 2 I noticed that the reach was not very far after 3-4 meters they already started to stutter while when playing around with the go and play here I noticed that the reach was much valid I would like to demonstrate you this I will walk around with both playing in JBL connect and with dual sound mode so that you get an idea how far you can get and set them apart please put up your headphones and let's check this out first let's try JBL connect I will use the JBL charge free and the JBL free--free for demonstration is both a difference because they only work with party mode just like the Harman Kardon here and the JBL charge 3 will remain here as master and I will take the Flip 3 with me to see how far we can get without losing connection yeah then connected now and let's start playback all should be playing yeah and let's see how far we can get yeah already breaking up yeah this was the problem I always had with to flip three playing in stereo I couldn't even put them here although now it seems to work but not very stable let's try getting farther a bit you can hear it already cuts out maybe if I held it up well no not really I think we won't manage to get even any father yeah does it work so Maximus maybe ten meters with breakups but not very far you can see it always taught us a bit so let's try JBL I mean Harman Kardon a dual sound no again this will be the master this one will be our slave for taking with us yeah they are connected now and we can start again playback yet over playing and let's see how far we can get now yeah no problem so far I can put it here with both playing yeah no problems here as well so let's see if we can get farther now yeah I think these are now 20 meters the other one is standing over there we don't even see it it's there so 20 meters maybe let's see if we can get even a bit further okay now it starts stuttering but you can see it stands on the floor and still works okay here but it still works I mean there is no line of sight anymore maybe 30 meters Hank it still works of course the other one plays as well I can show you we will leave this one here yeah I think you can hear it already so both are really playing in sync unfortunately not in stereo but anyhow of course in this case it would have been helpful to be able to control volume separately for one and the other I mean they are not playing in stereo so as a kind of wannabe multi-room system it would be a first grade to be able to reduce volume on this one while the other one should continue playing with high volume I don't know there is still some work to do for Harman Kardon they should release an app which enables you some option especially connecting them for stereo also to disable volume sync for both so they can really make one softer while the other one plays with higher volume but tread controls are working well I think let's see not quite this is our slave so obviously it only reacts for four volume changes but I cannot quite control preg changes or even stop and pause music obviously anyhow the reach is really impressive I think 30 maybe even 40 meters with line-of-sight should be possible so not sure if Harman Kardon uses another protocol than JBL I mean this is the same company so it should be the same or if simple the the antenna is so much better in the going to play speakers yeah this was it I hope this could give you an idea how far you can set the speakers apart I mean with the Harman Kardon going play it's very impressive I could set them at the edges of my garden and still have sound maybe it's just better antenna design I don't know but the JBL extreme which is nearly as large should also have better connection while in reality the JBL charged three together two three three have a wider reach so the only thing missing with dual sound is now of course an own stereo mode I don't know if it will come if it's also technically possible but I would wish an app where you can switch between other either party or stereo also of course this abling volume sync would be great and the next step would be to include more speakers than two not sure if it is technically possible but let's hope so thanks a lot for watching have a nice time and bye bye
