Vifa Helsinki vs B&O Beoplay A2 - soundcheck

2016-03-22
hi today we are going to compare two really interesting speakers the FIFA Helsinki which is maybe what I think the best sounding portable speaker I've heard so far and the Bank of San Pio play a - both are quite comparable they also have a similar price tag both companies are from Denmark all speakers are green and both look a little bit like handbags as you can see yeah a little bit uncommon for a speaker but of course the main differences between these two are that the a2 is a 360-degree speaker so you get sound from the front and from the back while the FIFA Elson key is a more traditional high five - on speaker of course I tried measuring both and if we have a look at the frequency response measurements you can see that the a2 measures a little bit like some mountain landscape so it has deep bass it has some nice shrill treble but well everything between is a little bit woolly while if you look at the FIFA Helsinki especially with the late type tuning it measures like a straight flat rat line of course you only get the sound if you are sitting directly in front while the Bang & Olufsen do play it - emits sound in a 360-degree way so I thought we will hear how these both compare as always I'm using high quality binaural microphones you should really listen with headphones to get the most realistic result so please put your headphones up and let's have a listen to these two first let's not - listen at lower levels which is definitely a strength of the band all of you play - while they're v I don't think you rather prefer high levels I'm starting with the FL dinky first that they can hear the different approach to Santa tuning very strong emphasis on higher treble also bass is pretty dominant but the meats sound a bit Hollow if I think he has a much more natural sound of course this changes if we start moving around the room the lemon also maintains the sound quality also from behind you can still listen well while for the before you simply have no seats directly in front I ain't wist warm slightly and put this because a bit far away you know you won't crank them when sitting directly in front let's have a listen to a classical track from Tchaikovsky starting with the 50s thank you first yeah think you can hear that this sounds a bit artificial not like some Orchestra but more like some synthesized instruments yeah there is something wrong with that frequency response maybe some chess you she may be also like Russian Russian dance music with some retro 80s kind of disco sound even more ated although this is a modern threat from savasana vocals are somewhere trapped within their I don't know how to describe they suddenly became more reggae so let's listen to some blues rock now I increased volume is more and put them closer to the wall let's have a listen again starting with the F if I was in key first you're playing a to start swallowing the whole dynamics the drums have disappeared only hi-hats and cymbals have remained this still sounds like original recording yet becomes some sizzling strange kind of song let's try something else also very dynamic electronic drums yes again yet the subsidy strange we still lots of punch with expansively let's try the 8 oh yeah base from has disappeared I have to finish my delay here I would increase volume to maximum involved doesn't go any louder it became a toy speaker we are given that 360-degree song won't help anymore a different track yeah I don't know I mean it's trying to be loud but the penalty let's try this last wreck now all dynamics is simply missing here ya know this is a joke doesn't make sense to compare yeah I think you would hear it if you want the best sounding hand back yeah this is the FIFA Helsinki while the Bo play a2 is not a bad speaker but simply compared against the FIFA it sounds a bit toyish especially at high levels it's close to unusable also battery life is really ridiculous at maximum volume you will get 50 minutes then it drops exactly to half while with a few fighters in key this is not some battery King but I measured more than 20 half hours it makes a moment you could hear that it's it sounded still powerful and was also louder than the and then a - so yeah I hope you liked this video yeah I hope I could convince you again for the FIFA Helsinki as I think this is simply the best sounding portable speaker while being still portable I mean you see how small it is it cannot compete against larger speakers like the I Phi X s 99 or even the larger FIFA Copenhagen I hope I will get a Copenhagen soon for comparison and we could maybe try putting the Copenhagen against some bigger speakers like the boom stir Excel from toyo or the Iowa XS 9 it will be interesting to hear how a high-end hi-5 portable speaker sounds against some boom boxes like those so thanks again for watching I hope you liked it yeah please vote up when possible please support me and we will see us in the next video thanks and bye bye you
