hi guys I have two speakers here and they're both blue double diamond bye-bye variable okay okay this is the sony srs x-33 and this is the JBL charge 2 plus on their both blue and the main differences between both are the JBL charge 2 plus is water proof or water-resistant and the sony srs x3 well has L back or a DAC some kind of well new codec from Sony that allows for a high resolution Oh screaming not sure why they didn't went for a px which is more common so they went for some own proprietary solution the JBL tracks 2 plus can also charge external devices the Sony cannot do this I don't want to go into technical details you can read everything on the internet I just wanted to show you some differences in sound I'm wearing by normal microphones and we will have a listen to some songs and compare both I will put them up here at the edge to avoid any reflections with their with the surface underneath and I would say that the Sony is quite a decent low level performer it sounds really good at low levels therefore we will start with some jazz song at a lower level and listen to the Sony first another jellyfish too the magic starts if you turn on sound on the Sony let's have a listen it broadens up the sound I mean the stereo image while the JBL charge 2 plus remains a bit of a mono sound source this is the piano it's trapped inside the speaker why with the Sony you hear some with again the charge to plus again with its sound this effect is working pretty well now it didn't work that well on their oath x3 because it changed the frequency response it boosted treble even more although it was already boosted and it boosted pace as well but this time sound only changes really the the stereo image it sounds a bit similar to what Denon is doing with the in via Mini but Sony pushes it a bit further I think because it really makes the sound extremely broad let's listen to another song this is an old recording from the 70s which I ripped from an LP and typical for the recordings of the 70s was lots of stereo separation so have a listen to this I hear the drums somewhere here beyond the JBL charge two plus and the Fender Rhodes is playing somewhere here and now let's listen to the JBL well it's all trapped inside here I mean it's quite impressive you really get an huge soundfield again without sin without son it's still growth but will sound you get much more with Genesis 2 plus yeah I think the problem start with the Sony if you increase loudness a little bit let's hear another trick and I'll turn it up slightly and it starts losing dynamics let's listen to the jagged edge tool plus you can hear the punch the punch of the bass drum while with the solo the bass drum is not there anymore still the JBL is a mono speaker while the Sony gives you this to speak I can even move your head around and it still stays but some songs can cause really problems with the Sony let's listen to this listen to the bass it's distorting at the Trib you have so much more fun shake the song again the basis scratching needs a new we are far from full volume that's maybe three thirds but it's not clean anymore against honey yeah that bass started to disappear I mean the x-33 ree retains more bass than the x3 but I have never heard such a strong dynamic compression let's turn both to the maximum now and let's have a listen how different they managed to sound I'm starting again with the Sony and listen to the well dynamics it's it's completely missing from the Sony the Junior School I think the the difference is pretty obvious well the Sony is more of a low-level performer it sounds better I would say then the jab you touch to Plus also then the demo in by a mini but if you increase volume beyond half you will be getting distortion well lots of dynamic compression I've never heard a speaker with more dynamic compression than the sony srs x3 it's really struggling at higher levels it's a nice speaker I mean but the battery life is not that great you get at maximum volume I got one hour and a half then it automatically reduced volume and continue to play for maybe two and a half hours while the JBL charge 2 plus can be cranked at maximum for about six maybe even seven hours without reducing volume or anything else yeah if you need some nice background music with pretty impressive stereo image well go for the Sony but if you need punchy sound mono sound I would go for the JBL charge too I hope this helped a little bit I will of course add both my interactive audio speaker database in in fact I already added I've still not completely finished therefore stay tuned for maybe be patient for two three weeks and it will be pulled online thanks for watching and see you in the next video bye bye
