2019-06-24
hi guys and welcome about eight years ago I think it was 2011 I still remember it as if it was been yesterday I was at the ball store to try out their new book sized portable Bluetooth speaker called Bose Soundlink maybe some of you still remember it so this was the first one released 2011 and back then it was regarded as decent I also liked it I made a review claiming it to be the best portable speaker because back then there was not much there was the Logitech mm 100 mm 11 I don't even remember or the Logitech has 750 I some Altec Lansing but not really many that small managed some really decent sound so it's some kind of windage speaker and I would like to compare it against a retro speaker from today and the Marshall stockwell to how the sound how the processing how the overall perception of sound quality changed during this time I would like to play some samples as always using my pen or microphones also my DJI Osmo action as head cam you should of course listen headphones is binaural recordings require headphones for best results put them up and let's check them out let's start with the Bose Soundlink and the track from so personam process which is latest album mahjongg is playing with different settings now a liquid of course or Sonic it's more to me like the boss boss again such a smartie without any detail but this was maybe the sound you will regard as decent back then not which one I will reverse phase to neutral again and keep in mind we are listening exactly on axis so when I moved out of their sweet spot that most becomes like this so even more ugly more Murphy Murphy Murphy Murphy Murphy while the stock whirlpool sounds still great so yeah it was maybe great ten years ago seeing that kind of bass coming out of something in Hawke's eyes but yeah if you compare it to some speaker from two dates on just horrible let's try this walk walk you can hear way more controlled deeper bass not as booming so way more open sounding yeah but this was really guarded as decent the Molly remember I think it's improved slightly on sound when a volume was reduced here and increased on the speaker to meet it slightly better slightly more open basilica here some still way more open way more than direct somehow yeah let's try this and it's extremely direction as you can hear so you would have to seal exactly on axis with this here but it sounds here Maxim kitchen radio although I was also impressed this was eight nine years ago but now you can hear it's not just atrocious let's race and pledged listener apexis against even like this great the pose you can hear sounds horrible it's all free let's um Jess maybe more acoustic him any claim that Bowles sounds so great with acoustic stuff so that's a listen make this list like this the marshal still sounds better and listen from the side feeds the room somehow in the sound so became here the level has changed quite a bit during the last year's this was great some years ago while yeah that's right this isn't the face here of course increase again babies will make it a little more droning but it will never sound as the solidus from the hole so much let's reduce base a little bit second here the processing is so good that it does not distort in any way by the pose with this track still things rolling impress people yes I'm quite shocked how bad the pose is nowadays although beg Danny again I can listen like this from the side so let's increase volume in a bit not sure which one will play louder so this is the boss at maximum the marshal some people compress maybe so it makes me Marshall doesn't sound that great that's why this book doesn't sound s process is best sounding 3d later on there is louder with respect and really depends the processing obviously here doesn't have that not met many problems again beause I lost it so both heads nor less the same loudness I think you would hear it it's quite shocking what kind of horrible sound you got for $300 back then this was the original price and eight years ago this was regarded as decent I also was quite impressed by it I made a German review on my blog claiming it to be the best portable speaker because back then there was really not much so it was the first of its kind later on with the successor model the Soundlink - which had an improved cover also sent volume control the sounding 3ei was not really that much of an improvement but when listening to it today comparing it against a recent speaker like the marshall stockwell - yeah it's a night and day difference so it's quite shocking how far the portable speaker market got both on the other hand yet they released the sounding revolve glass we already heard their before class against the marshall so they didn't really improve much on their sound on their tuning rather Amada kind of sound not really opened Bumi so I think the marshall stockwell - shows what is possible what could have been possible already eight years ago maybe the stock well one the first one sounds horrible even worse than this so I am quite impressed what they managed with the stock well - here not perfect but really way way better way more convincing than the boss here but it's a classic I have it from my neighbor when I still had mine eight years ago I had a meeting we did we need some barbecue together and he was so impressed that he also bought one he still has his I sold mine long ago because yeah then the time times have changed so you can get a better sound out of the denim in via which is way smaller than out of this here so I hope I could yeah show you how much the sound has improved on portable devices compared I mean this was really great eight years ago I was impressed I was blown away what kind of base it managed to create out of something that small but if you listen to it now yeah it's just atrocious horribly muddy kind of booming sound so really really but this is typical for both so the bose soundlink evolved plus doesn't sound really that much better just that it's only rational but compared to the Marshall it's also a disaster yeah I hope you liked this little travel back in time with vintage versus retro and see you in the next video bye-bye you
