Oldie but goldie: Klipsch KMC 3 vs JBL Boombox

2017-10-07
hi and welcome I got this for a friend yesterday for 70 years thanks a lot Martin and the clips came she free is a real oldie I think it was released around five years ago so I was interested how such an old retro speaker would compare to a recent release from JBL the JBL boombox of course they are not quite comparable so the clip James III needs eight huge D cells battery for portable use it cannot swim it cannot be paired with another one but still sound wise it would be interesting if there was some progress during the last four or five years so if the JBL is really much louder sounding much better and so on as always I will use my banal microphones also had came for this immersive 3d sound experience you should really listen with headphones otherwise it's waste of time for watch this video please put your headphones up and let's have a listen one is slightly above half of books because the Jay Bilas set fits in the mode and I will start with an unrestricted person amuses region a kind of 70s retro disco the kv-3 will be playing first so let's have a listen when Toby Toby it sounds a bit cooler but also maybe more muddy but also just because the JVM is so boosted in the travellerbruce region has this nice extra pasty this knots more natural black also saw us on princess freesia based on some sample from the 70s as well and yeah that's increased volume is not just maybe the moon box as well here it has this bass kick which can sound a bit artificial media still this one Santos will find more balance but the basis yeah rather in the lower region midbass is somehow missing from the GBR here and because almost with us but what a 4-inch I was eligible for it why the JBL has tweeted we should have an advantage of exes still lips on somehow smooth I will say I will try to step back in my father yeah oh to find a better place here and let's try another one from no correct but the base is really nice you can hear some lower base this also gets some and if it's digital fault but with beep some recording significant for despite some pasta there is some limit on which sending on a battery tries to control volumes on JBL not much louder the meets are definitely this over-exaggerated here this indifference is hearing it's Prada and becoming a bit scruffy maybe some rock more dynamic somehow but still it is cool it's on super so I reduce volume and as a fuller but also maybe more boxes song also quite a big collection also becomes exactly on axes what I would like to leave me analog from savasana Pacific princess puja I know that the cliffs suffers from some pot noise there is something but you will probably hear it more from the back but not that strong so let's increase volume slightly and see what happens again more than four euros because this is quite impressive so yeah the JBL definitely won here with more bass modern emic sound also more controlled although the overall tuning is not an impressive I definitely prefer the smoother sound of the Eclipse cream c3 and I'm a bit disappointed that during the last four or five years JBL didn't manage to squeeze out more loudness out of it they are comparable in loud over here the JBL is a bit more controlled but also bigger and heavier yeah I'm not sure why clips didn't release any successor because of these batteries it's quite a bit subpar for portable use you can of course power it by some power bank I don't think that the clips the three or the one real success models thanks to this wooden enclosure also hard edges so you really cannot take them around they don't have any grip like this here so this is at least a little bit portable so I'm still quite impressed with this old speaker you can find it here four hundred fifty two hundred dollars is new used I bought it for 70 euros and definitely a keeper really great also at normal levels sounds quite a bit nicer than the JBL you could hear it from my Soundlink micro video which was not meant that seriously but they're both at low levels on somehow or under better than the JBL and at high levels it makes me it gets this harsh sound this this yeah so yes still old but great and quite surprising that during the last four or five years there was not that much progress if you compare for example the very first JBL flip to the flip phone they are worlds apart but here yeah not that much difference yeah I hope this was helpful I hope you liked it anyhow a full review is coming soon but it's definitely not a keeper for me maybe there are some who like this tuning but it hasn't sound great so for normal music listening it's yeah it's a bit annoying and for making noise okay but still it's not really that great selling it would need some slightly tuning taking down this five kilo Hertz 7 kilo Hertz boost maybe there is something wrong something went wrong it also has some slight hollow character to it if you compare it to some others because you will notice this probably well so stay tuned for a full review until then have a nice time and bye bye you for this I will try to step back here a little bit father here I couldn't find a better place so let me stand here and increase volume to maximum again click the her chaser hit a Bob Marley for Davos skip stock net
