I just can't believe how you can manage to make a scientifically accurate yet informative video, and spice it up with hilarious sound effects on top of it. Awesome stuff! Attention to details is full on point!
It's made mostly for the outdoor so the mids and highs need to be up there...so it's not being "harsh", it just sound like that because it's made for it. It's not brain surgery to understand...
@@jedvaulten02Nope, Xtreme 3 is nicely hearable donw to 50hz, and Wildbox down to 45hz. 40hz is rolled off and impossible to hear in most acoustic scenarios. 5hz is still a lot though. I hear nice 47hz basslines on Wildbox that are completely missing on Xtreme 3.
i like the mifa! but i chose the motion boom a fter your reviews. my jbl extremes 123 are just to big and bulky to drag around. my friends all want a boom! im very disapointed with jbl products. im on the list for motion boom plus!! a usual great precise video from ur lab.. cheers!!!!
I almost ordered extreme 3 before I found this video. I am now ordering MIFA WILDBOX,and put it in my bluethooth collections. wildbox is way cheaper, but still has decent bass and sound stage. and design appearance is slightly better than soundcore motion boom. Thanks!
Just ordered mine on amazon, got blessed with a $15 off coupon & ended up paying $103 Can't wait to compare it to my motion+ which was only lacking bass. Thanks Alan lol
it lacks here Anker Souncore Boom with custom equalizer setting - still probably best value for 2022. Mifa is 1/2 of JBL price, but Anker is 1/3 of his price, and emuch easier to buy. Maybe in next episode You add also this popular Anker ?
@@alanrossreviews yep, but JBL had no eq at that time, and in comparison with Mife u set eq. in Soundcore to make his sound same as Mifa, while biggest difference and advance of this speaker is big, fully controlled equaliser.
Let’s Go Alan!!!!!!! Watched the whole thing 😍 My thoughts…… Give me the Wildbox over the Extreme (it’s a quality about that bass I like on the Extreme. I’ll give it that) Surprised the JBL extremely priced 3 can go 100 Watts on AC (That can’t be right can it??) Love to see that sexy pound for pound Boom in the back. Another great video as always 🤪🤪
well dont know how they measure it and its not just about watts. end of day we know mifa can go slightly louder but with mains lead in xtreme 3 is a couple of db loder. if mifa is 60 watts and doubling power gives about 3db more than yes it does tally with 100 watts.
@@alanrossreviews Oh I definitely agree with you Alan, was just more so shocked. Didn’t know it did 100 watts plugged in. I guess because I haven’t really studied the extreme 3 like I do other speakers (well most extremes anyway) Would’ve thought it was around maybe 60-70 on ac. Was a big shock to me I guess.
So just to be clear: The Wildbox officially dethroned the motion boom? Your conclusion from the past comparison felt kinda like a draw to me. A great and entertaining video like always, thank you for taking your time and providing such valuable content. Keep up the good work.

I am shocked, well actually inot that shocked. Sound is all about preference. I love how motion boom sounds but i bought mifa wildbox because it sounds good too and it microsd slot is a kicker for me. Personally i would not pay full price for xtreme 3. But again it is just a preference.
After watching all your videos about mifa wildbox, I decided to buy it and to be honest I was very surprised, especially that the loudspeaker goes down "maybe only with me" from 40hz, this is epic 😱😱 You can get so much bass from such a small enclosure, it's amazing !!!! Of course, there were also good medium and high bands. I sincerely recommend it, a successful purchase. There is only one major problem with this bluetooth speaker. Is it possible that your mifa has no bass at all?!?!? . I'm rushing to help. If you have Android, it could be a common Bluetooth volume issue. Just configure the bluetooth volume settings to adjust the volume of the speaker and phone separately. I had such a problem at the beginning and I had to use an audio jack cable because I didn't know this method back then. Thank you and best regards from Poland, Mr. Ross
The Wildbox looks interesting… 🧐 I think you pay JBL prices for things like warranty and customer service, as well as the product it’s self. Always good to know there’s a budget option though! 💸
You definitely pay JBL prices for the JBL name as well. This happens in car audio as well. Other brands such as Hertz are higher performing for the same money, but those brands tend to only be recognized by people who spend real time in the car audio world, whereas your average person going to a big box store, and paying for an install will instantly recognize the JBL name, so JBL can get away with that brand name markup, and a brand like Hertz can not.
Thats a good point about what goes into a retail price. It includes some research and development that is missing from companies buying off the shelf ready to go products that just require some branding and marketing. How you doing? When we gonna see some reviews?
@@alanrossreviews for sure. When I was doing my car audio, I took the time to know my brands, so the JBL brand recognition didn't have any pull. With these bluetooth speakers though, JBL did have a fair bit of pull because I am not as familiar with them. Even being familiar with Anker, I wasn't familiar with their sound products line, so had it not been for reviews (and some of your reviews were among the ones I watched), I would have just gone JBL instead of with the Anker Soundcore Motion+ - or I might have gotten the Motion Boom and been frustrated with the latency while watching video!
Already have the MiFa Wildbox and was planning to buy the JBL Xtreme 3. Now, I will not. Thank you for making me help make decision. One thing though, JBL has a very catchy design which sometimes get me. Question, Alan can you pair two Wildboxes for stereo?
If you look at the cost per square inch of logo the JBL is the clear winner. I heard the EU is considering legislation to force manufacturers to disclose logo surface area and the nutrition facts of the free lunch. I'm not going to hold my breath, though ... unless they include a balloon of nitrous.
Hello, I would like to know between the Mifa speaker and the motionboom speaker from soundcore, which speaker is the most powerful (in terms of sound power feeling) to do parties ? Is the JBL xtreme 3 more powerful than these 2 speakers ? Is it really worth the cost to invest so much money in it ? (great video, +1 subscriber from France 🇫🇷)
Thanks for another great comparison. I wonder about the durability of the Wildbox, looks very plasticy and cheap, else it has a very nice warm sound. I personally would go with JBL because nothing beats that big sexy logo 😉
@@alanrossreviews you did mention it but not talking about durability. would be interesting to see a review of someone who has been using it for 1-2 years and see if it still lasts or are there any issues with sound, connectivity etc.
@@udim7284 FWIW I'm on my second Wildbox. My first one did not survive being plugged into a dodgy USB 3.0 charger.

Hey Alan, great channel. I know not relevant to this video but…I’ve just bought an Onyx Studio 6 for £220 AND a Citation 200 for £255…! I’ll have to send one back, have you tried the Citation?? Reading lots in the comments on your videos and other similar reviewers about the Citation being better than the OS6!! I did buy the Soundcore Motion Boom from Amazon for £62 as per your recommendations, for the money it’s fantastic but lacked clarity and the floor rumbling boom boom!! I currently have an Onyx Studio 2 which I love but one of the legs has snapped (twice!) and I really like the grey colour on the new ones (sad I know!) and feel like treating myself. The portability of the Citation seems pretty cool with the charging dock you just plonk it on and if the deep low bass hits as good as, if not better than the OS6 then I think that’ll be a winner!
Моя Mifa :-) приехала из Китая, еду забирать и наслаждаться, прошивку обещали 2.06new))) позже напишу свои впечатления. Спасибо Алан, и наилучшие пожелания из России тебе :-)
@@alanrossreviews о , Mifa Wildbox great 👍😎 really, listen Dire Straits "You and Your Friend" very very beautiful sound !!! Беру все свои сомнения обратно , это как говорят крупье full house 😎✌️👑а от Pink Floyd Dark Side of the Moon side 1 я просто улетел в космос вместе со своим котом 😂 видел бы это David Gilmore 😂👍✌️😎
I have Anker Soundcore Motion +. Does it make sense to buy a Mifa Wildbox? And it would be interesting they both have auxiliary input to connect to it and make a perfect speaker? Maybe you could connect them with a double wire and test how they sound and who will come out of this?
sure they have very different tuning. well i have so much i could potentially do a video on this isnt gonna be top of the list as it wont be a practical portable solution.
Mifa Wildbox doesn't use the same drivers as GG Xtreme 3. They look like ND Xtreme 3 drivers. However looking similar doesn't obviously mean they're the same. Anyway I'm getting a Wildbox next month since it's available on Amazon now, that's why I came back here. Can't wait to get it 👍
Not sure if it's just me, listening with my Soundcore Q30 headphones (they are awesome by the way), the Mifa sounded much clearer in the vocals at 50%. Some reason the JBL sounded like it had some static as if you were listening to a radio station signal that was not coming in that clear.
BTW, I'm nerdish enough to run the sound sample tests through Room EQ Wizard's RTA app set to use my PC's "Realtek Stereo Mix" input to get an idea of how low these bluetooth speakers really go. The RTA suggests that the output drops like a rock below 50 Hz (at least, based on the sample music), but that's still pretty good for boxes that small. Would love to see how they handle music that really taxes how they handle bass at lower frequencies than that. You know, stuff like DeadMau5's "When the Summer Dies" with its prominent 45 Hz bass or even Cristoph's perhaps appropriately-titled "Out of Reach" with its 40 Hz and 34 Hz bass tones. Does the speaker's electronics adequately deal with the stuff that the drivers have no ability to actually reproduce, or does the overall sound turn into an unholy mess? I guess I'll have to buy one of them and find out for myself.... :)
@@alanrossreviews From one comment on the update: "welcome tones are less loud, lights now react to the music, and the bass button now works at all volumes. The sound has changed, it's less bass heavy and clearer".
@@alanrossreviews I'm a little worried too. But not too much. My old Sharp QT3 boombox (Lord, I'm dating myself now!) had an FR that seemed to slope upward from about 100 Hz (and nothing below), but guess what - it was great for rock music when placed on the ground and listened to while you were sitting or standing about a few feet away. The combination of the few dB gain from ground plane use and listening to the speakers off-center instead of directly in line with them seemed to "adjust" the overall frequency curve quite nicely, at least to my admittedly less critical listening tastes at the time (I used to listen to Saxon, Black Sabbath, Judas Priest, etc) . Other boomboxes sounded quite dull and boxy in comparison. If I do pick up one of these boxes (and I'm really leaning towards doing so now), I'll be measuring it under the same conditions, before I do the mods that I'm planning to do to it (btw, thanks for showing that the front grille is easy to get off, giving access to the drivers and subsequently the inside of the speaker!).
Sorry for the late response, did not see this video for some reason yet lol. So as you see, clearly those have the same drivers. This "mifa" speaker did not deliver anything special here, most people still prefer the xtreme 3. They thought that buying the same drivers, putting it in a way way cheaper plastic cabnet with a handle just like the motion boom, it would attract more people. So no, it was a fail. And i bought my xtreme 3 for 190 dollars so deals like that would be prefered any day of the weak than the other garbage that is worth the price and you get cheap crap. You did call me a jbl fanboy, i wouldnt say im a fanboy, im just realistic about things, and i know what most people like in the portable audio world. The numbers do not lie. You own even more jbl's than i do probably, so im not the fanboy for sure 😮
😜 Always make me smile. What i will say is the wildbox has evolving firmware and will sound quite different depending on version. Personally i prefer boom over wildbox but plenty of people prefer wildbox. However you look at it, wildbox is cheaper than xtreme and for a lot of people on a budget thats a big deal.
@@alanrossreviews the thing is, all they tried to do here is to make it sound as close to the xtreme 3 as they could, and make it cheaper. But what if you get the xtreme 3 for such a price like i did? Ofc that the xtreme 3 is the better pick Its the originality, the looks, more bass and power to the sound, durability, nice material use and overall features.
Hi Alan, just wondering what source of input music do u use, I use Spotify but I stumbled on a new radio station an it transformed the sound, my motion plus sounds nearly like my motion boom!!
What do you think about JBL Xtreme 3 firmware 0.2.1.6 compared to 0.1.8.8? I've read about slightly changed sound characteristics, especially reduced bass and boosted mids and highs, which I'm not sure if I want that.
@@alanrossreviews I've seen a video of a dude putting the Motion Boom drivers in the Select Pro and it sounded instantly better. I guess the drivers is the only reason why Select Pro is worse
Alan, a question, what speaker would you recommend that is the maximum size of charge 5? With good bass for outdoors. Tell you that you have the best speaker videos on the internet.
@@alanrossreviews the only bad thing about it is the price. Sony xb43 has better sound and at the same price, but it is not portable like the charge 5, that is why it is so important that the maximum size is like the charge 5. thanks
@@mowglimowgli4971 Get the Mifa Wildbox. It's not that much bigger, plus it has a handle as well. I can easily put it inside my backpack if I want to. The Mifa replaced a Charge 3 for me, which was serving me for about 5,5 years now. (This very video of him comparing the Wildbox vs Xtreme 3, made me finally decide to get the Mifa)
@@pemalama23 hard to tell as I don't have any experience with the Motion Boom. What I can tell about the Wildbox is it has so moderate bass by default that I use it always with bass mode enabled. It also boosts the mids as well, not just bass.
Hi Alan, can you connect 2 wildbox's and play them in stereo like the Motion Boom? If not... Is the difference very big in quality then if you compare them 2 versus 2?
@@sanja8694 Indeed, it only works when it's not connected to any phone to make it forget the last phone it was connected to. But now we have multipoint Bluetooth though
Hey Alan, can you make a fun comparison between the MIFA Wildbox and the JBL Boombox (the first one not the 2) ? As both of these speakers have pretty similar specs on paper, such as wattage, frequency response....etc. and it would be interesting to see how a smaller yet very comparable speaker would do against the "big party guy" from JBL.
@@alanrossreviews oh ok ok but between the boom and wildbox if paired with 2 in stereo mode which you'd think will sound better if you could answer tht
@@alanrossreviews no but I’ve seen others do water tests and it fails I’d say it’s splash resistant at best. If you want a cheap option go for mifa but for tough use and abuse get jbl because it’s designed better. Motion boom atleast isn’t lying it does resist water a lot better.
i cant answer questions on the mifa because they keep changing formwares and eq so i have no idea how current versions sound. sorry. my og mifa was very similar to og motion boom so it could be close.
@@alanrossreviews what you thinking atm about the boom plus Vs boom 2 plus ? Looks like it's not that much better. Just bought a one month old good condition boom plus for 85 pound insane value
My Man Could You Please Suggest Me A Speaker Under 200 Dollars With Good Loudness But Should Also Habe Good Deep Bass I Was Thinking About The Harman Kardon Onyx Studio 7 Or The Mifa Wildbox
Throw the go play into the mix and the onyx 6. But they dont go too loud due the the amount of bass they retain at max volumes. You can do worse than a pair of booms.
Xtreme 3 have quite a nice quality bass, but does Mifa Wildbox manages such a quality, tight bass ? I know Motion Boom goes deeper but is less tight. I would like to know if Wildbox is better However there's no way in hell that Xtreme 3 is 100W, they maybe use 4 25W drivers but I can't see the amp being bigger than 2x25W
@@alanrossreviews I see, so is Wildbox meatier than Motion Boom ? Because the lack of tightness on the Boom shows as soon as a track doesn't have much deep bass in it
@@alanrossreviews Interesting. Now I really want to hear the Wildbox in person, but dammit they don't want to launch it on amazon ! Aliexpress prices are like 140€...
@Thibaut M̵̺̍ȧ̸̮h̴͓̉r̷͖̋ī̵̖n̵̜̍ǵ̷̝ĕ̴̘r̷̤͆ When/if it hits Amazon it will probably sell for less and I'll have to buy a Wildbox but I don't want to go the Aliexpress route for $140 right now.
The JBL does sound ah bit cleaner and I do hear the hollow vocals of the mids in the mifa. If I was buying between the 2 I'd choose the mifa for the price. But, if someone was giving me as a gift and I had to choose... Obviously the JBL.
Am happy to say that I have successfully upgraded my mifa wildbox to the latest software version, I observed that from volume 1 - 100 there is bass and the RGB light now move with music, compare to the old software that lack bass from 1 - 70..thanks mifa.. I love 😍 mifa.. Motion boom is now in trouble 😂 😂
hum, only had a short listen but while new firmware is much clearer on vocals the bass is reduced somewhat especially at lower volumes. i think this is a love/hate update. but i only had 10 mins or so with it so i might totally change my mind after a proper listen.
@@alanrossreviews 😂 😂 it's confusing, but I prefer bass on low volume, atleast we can now get good bass at low volume compare to before, and the RGB is now synchronised.. Anyway downgrade to the old version is also possible.. Mifa said so..
@@alanrossreviews I like the looks of the Wildbox though it has the same button layout as the motion boom and I have a special eq that makes it sound fuller.

that low end of the mifa is very satisfying...
It's made mostly for the outdoor so the mids and highs need to be up there...so it's not being "harsh", it just sound like that because it's made for it. It's not brain surgery to understand...
@@alanrossreviews I strongly agree and also the extreme 3 can play down to 53hz and the Mifa can almost do 20hz but it does about 30 - 40hz.

The portability of the Citation seems pretty cool with the charging dock you just plonk it on and if the deep low bass hits as good as, if not better than the OS6 then I think that’ll be a winner!
well i havent tried the citation so cant really help. but if its deeper than o6 it must be a bit special.
hey allen just got an update for the motion boom any take on this update thanks for your excellent reviews and also prompt replies
not had a chance to look yet, sorry.
finally the video i was waiting for
Its here 😊
Моя Mifa :-) приехала из Китая, еду забирать и наслаждаться, прошивку обещали 2.06new))) позже напишу свои впечатления. Спасибо Алан, и наилучшие пожелания из России тебе :-)
хорошо, дайте нам знать 👍
@@alanrossreviews о , Mifa Wildbox great 👍😎 really, listen Dire Straits "You and Your Friend" very very beautiful sound !!! Беру все свои сомнения обратно , это как говорят крупье full house 😎✌️👑а от Pink Floyd Dark Side of the Moon side 1 я просто улетел в космос вместе со своим котом 😂 видел бы это David Gilmore 😂👍✌️😎
I love your reviews. Can you compare the Mifa Wildbox against the extremely cheap Tronsmart Bang? I really would like to hear your opinion :)
noted..................
I have Anker Soundcore Motion +. Does it make sense to buy a Mifa Wildbox? And it would be interesting they both have auxiliary input to connect to it and make a perfect speaker? Maybe you could connect them with a double wire and test how they sound and who will come out of this?
sure they have very different tuning. well i have so much i could potentially do a video on this isnt gonna be top of the list as it wont be a practical portable solution.
Will be very interesting to see this video. Maybe its can become minirig speakers category :)
Hi sir Alan 🥳, 2 motion booms? Or 1 w-king x10? Is a little more $$ for 2nd boom way more worth? I really love bass and loudness though
two booms is simply different league to a wking x10

Really nice review, but i love motion boom the most. Waiting for the new motion boom firmware update video review. Thank you 🙏🏻
got a ton of stuff backlogged at the mo 😂
@@alanrossreviews no problem, waiting for it eagerly 😂
Mifa Wildbox doesn't use the same drivers as GG Xtreme 3.
They look like ND Xtreme 3 drivers. However looking similar doesn't obviously mean they're the same.
Anyway I'm getting a Wildbox next month since it's available on Amazon now, that's why I came back here. Can't wait to get it 👍
yeah i cant say they are the same, just repeating what the jbl fanboy told me 😁😁 welcome back 👌
Nice vídeo.. the motion boom is not in alli express 😭😭😭 i'm never going to have ir
You can't get from amazon?
@@alanrossreviews un Amazon cost 250 euros.. it's too expensive
Wow, thats not good.
@@luisignaciogarciaguarda6626 has motion boom and mifa wildbox on aliexpress
The price of xtreme 3 in Poland varies, although on the Polish amazon it costs PLN 1151, which is some 200 pounds
That's a bit more respectable at £200
Not sure if it's just me, listening with my Soundcore Q30 headphones (they are awesome by the way), the Mifa sounded much clearer in the vocals at 50%. Some reason the JBL sounded like it had some static as if you were listening to a radio station signal that was not coming in that clear.
well it might be the wonky highs due to 13khz peak
Hi Alan, which version of Charge 5 is the best? I've seen your flip 5 video, but maybe it has changed a little since that comparison
i really only tested the one version.
okay thanks man
@@LNY_rzvk for sound paper cone version, if i am righ TL or whatever?

Wildbox is Motion Boom 2 😝
😝
I wouldn’t sell yourself short. You’ve produced a lot of good content featuring their speakers. So with that said how could they not notice
Well when i asked about getting the coloured motion pluses i didnt even get a reply 😭😭😭
Thanks for review! 😅
My pleasure 😊
Mifa has provided a software update that adjusts the sound of the Wildbox a bit. I wonder how the updated Wildbox would do against the Extreme 3?
probably close 👍
BTW, I'm nerdish enough to run the sound sample tests through Room EQ Wizard's RTA app set to use my PC's "Realtek Stereo Mix" input to get an idea of how low these bluetooth speakers really go. The RTA suggests that the output drops like a rock below 50 Hz (at least, based on the sample music), but that's still pretty good for boxes that small. Would love to see how they handle music that really taxes how they handle bass at lower frequencies than that. You know, stuff like DeadMau5's "When the Summer Dies" with its prominent 45 Hz bass or even Cristoph's perhaps appropriately-titled "Out of Reach" with its 40 Hz and 34 Hz bass tones. Does the speaker's electronics adequately deal with the stuff that the drivers have no ability to actually reproduce, or does the overall sound turn into an unholy mess? I guess I'll have to buy one of them and find out for myself.... :)
@@alanrossreviews From one comment on the update: "welcome tones are less loud, lights now react to the music, and the bass button now works at all volumes. The sound has changed, it's less bass heavy and clearer".
less bass heavy already has me worried 😫
@@alanrossreviews I'm a little worried too. But not too much. My old Sharp QT3 boombox (Lord, I'm dating myself now!) had an FR that seemed to slope upward from about 100 Hz (and nothing below), but guess what - it was great for rock music when placed on the ground and listened to while you were sitting or standing about a few feet away. The combination of the few dB gain from ground plane use and listening to the speakers off-center instead of directly in line with them seemed to "adjust" the overall frequency curve quite nicely, at least to my admittedly less critical listening tastes at the time (I used to listen to Saxon, Black Sabbath, Judas Priest, etc) . Other boomboxes sounded quite dull and boxy in comparison. If I do pick up one of these boxes (and I'm really leaning towards doing so now), I'll be measuring it under the same conditions, before I do the mods that I'm planning to do to it (btw, thanks for showing that the front grille is easy to get off, giving access to the drivers and subsequently the inside of the speaker!).
Hi Allan,
I read about the Sharp PS-919.
Is ist possible to test that Boy?
Greetings from Germany ✌️
not one that i have had much interest in so far.....
HI FROM UKRAINA! VERY DECENT REVIEW. ALSO TO LEARN ENGLISH.
I SUBSCRIBE. THANKS
Sorry for the late response, did not see this video for some reason yet lol.
So as you see, clearly those have the same drivers. This "mifa" speaker did not deliver anything special here, most people still prefer the xtreme 3. They thought that buying the same drivers, putting it in a way way cheaper plastic cabnet with a handle just like the motion boom, it would attract more people. So no, it was a fail.
And i bought my xtreme 3 for 190 dollars so deals like that would be prefered any day of the weak than the other garbage that is worth the price and you get cheap crap.
You did call me a jbl fanboy, i wouldnt say im a fanboy, im just realistic about things, and i know what most people like in the portable audio world. The numbers do not lie.
You own even more jbl's than i do probably, so im not the fanboy for sure 😮
😜 Always make me smile. What i will say is the wildbox has evolving firmware and will sound quite different depending on version. Personally i prefer boom over wildbox but plenty of people prefer wildbox. However you look at it, wildbox is cheaper than xtreme and for a lot of people on a budget thats a big deal.
@@alanrossreviews if you bought your xtreme 3 for 190 dollars, would you still think the same?
@@alanrossreviews the thing is, all they tried to do here is to make it sound as close to the xtreme 3 as they could, and make it cheaper. But what if you get the xtreme 3 for such a price like i did? Ofc that the xtreme 3 is the better pick
Its the originality, the looks, more bass and power to the sound, durability, nice material use and overall features.
@@shoerice5083 for me im not big on the wildbox. However i do pick up my motion boom over the x3.
@@shoerice5083 i have the x3, the wildbox and the motion boom. I choose the motion boom with custom eq over them both.
Hi Alan, just wondering what source of input music do u use, I use Spotify but I stumbled on a new radio station an it transformed the sound, my motion plus sounds nearly like my motion boom!!
yeah but doesnt the boom sound better too????
What do you think about JBL Xtreme 3 firmware 0.2.1.6 compared to 0.1.8.8? I've read about slightly changed sound characteristics, especially reduced bass and boosted mids and highs, which I'm not sure if I want that.
Thank you Alan great work
thank you 😝
Which one is better suited for bass heavy music? (Don't know the difference between warm sound and agile sound)
Personally i prefer motion boom, but x3 would beat the wildbox but at a heavy price
@@alanrossreviews Thanks! How about x3 against motion boom? Which one is better for bass heavy music?
@@All_Black250 x3 goes deeper but can be a bit shreeky when pushed
Mifa is good base but jbl is good saround in my opinion
can you do soundcore select pro vs motion boom, I think a lot of people are confused over it.
possibly but there is enough info out there to know select pro is inferior
@@alanrossreviews Thanks for reply alan 🙂 may be ur custom EQ can do some magic. Still always ur big fan , keep up the good work
@@alanrossreviews I've seen a video of a dude putting the Motion Boom drivers in the Select Pro and it sounded instantly better. I guess the drivers is the only reason why Select Pro is worse
dont know just never saw the point in trying in giving all reports say its worse sound wise.
Alan, a question, what speaker would you recommend that is the maximum size of charge 5? With good bass for outdoors.
Tell you that you have the best speaker videos on the internet.
well my first question is whats wrong with the charge 5??
@@alanrossreviews the only bad thing about it is the price. Sony xb43 has better sound and at the same price, but it is not portable like the charge 5, that is why it is so important that the maximum size is like the charge 5. thanks
@@mowglimowgli4971 Get the Mifa Wildbox. It's not that much bigger, plus it has a handle as well. I can easily put it inside my backpack if I want to. The Mifa replaced a Charge 3 for me, which was serving me for about 5,5 years now. (This very video of him comparing the Wildbox vs Xtreme 3, made me finally decide to get the Mifa)
@@balintmolnar4873 would you still pick the Mifa Wildbox over the Motion Boom ?
@@pemalama23 hard to tell as I don't have any experience with the Motion Boom. What I can tell about the Wildbox is it has so moderate bass by default that I use it always with bass mode enabled. It also boosts the mids as well, not just bass.
Hey Alan did you planned to get the Tribit XSound Mega?☺️
Got it, next video 👍
@@alanrossreviews looking forward to it😃
@@alanrossreviews Some mono goodness incoming 😝
yup! jbl showed the way 🤪
Mifa Wildbox or Harman Go+Play. Which one is more accurate?
go+ play has the edge but its quite close but that doesnt really tell you about how it sounds in presentation.
Hi Alan, can you connect 2 wildbox's and play them in stereo like the Motion Boom? If not... Is the difference very big in quality then if you compare them 2 versus 2?
no they dont do tws. i havent tried 2v2 since it doesnt have tws and boom is tws only
@@alanrossreviews ok, but does that mean that the Motion Boom will sound a bit better because of the TWS?
Yes can pair two ✌️ for stereo, you can even pair more than two via party add
@@alanrossreviews WildBox does tws, you can pair two for stereo, you can even pair more than two via party add

I haven't done serious testing but it seems nothing have changed
New Firmware has a small bug!

Hi need your suggestion. If I have to chose one speaker for all situation W-king T9 or soundcore motion+ ? Tnx
you can take the m+ places you cant take the t9 simply because its smaller. anyway i would get the motion boom.
@@alanrossreviews but boom doesn't have aux input can't connect to tv. Only Bluetooth
You didnt say you needed that. Mifa wildbox has aux and is similar to boom.
please Mifa wild box vs the W-king t92 and a altec Lansing rockbox Xl
Hi!alan in your review mifa wildbox is lounder but in personal jbl is still louder.
how are you measuring that?
Because i have mifa wildbox and jbl xtreme 3.im your fan from philippines
Hey Alan, can you make a fun comparison between the MIFA Wildbox and the JBL Boombox (the first one not the 2) ? As both of these speakers have pretty similar specs on paper, such as wattage, frequency response....etc. and it would be interesting to see how a smaller yet very comparable speaker would do against the "big party guy" from JBL.
boombox is out of my price range and neighbour friendly range 😭
@@alanrossreviews oh, I see. 👌
Do you think the Mifa Wildbox would easily win today with the new firmware (2.0.6)?
nope
One, Brazil
first!!!!!!!!!! good job 👍👍👍😁
W KING D9 UNDEFEATED CHAMPION IN THESE SIZES OF SPEAKERS 100 PERCENT
2 mifa wildbox in stereo vs 2 soundcore booms? Or whatever other speaker like the studio 7
wont go as low as the 7 just louder. only have one wildbox.
@@alanrossreviews oh ok ok but between the boom and wildbox if paired with 2 in stereo mode which you'd think will sound better if you could answer tht
Cant answer that without trying them. Maybe i will reach out to mifa.
@@alanrossreviews when you say the jbl sounds bigger does that mean the audio coming out the jbl sounds more projected out and like airy?
Mifa is not very water proof though cannot survive even a little bit of faucet and it broke.
did you contact mifa support?
@@alanrossreviews no but I’ve seen others do water tests and it fails I’d say it’s splash resistant at best. If you want a cheap option go for mifa but for tough use and abuse get jbl because it’s designed better. Motion boom atleast isn’t lying it does resist water a lot better.
What goes deeper and has better bass at higher volumes, mifa or boom 2 ?
i cant answer questions on the mifa because they keep changing formwares and eq so i have no idea how current versions sound. sorry. my og mifa was very similar to og motion boom so it could be close.
@@alanrossreviews what you thinking atm about the boom plus Vs boom 2 plus ? Looks like it's not that much better. Just bought a one month old good condition boom plus for 85 pound insane value
@@finnmulvey5273 boom 2 plus is all mid bass, crazy tuning. Not tried eqing it. But in default its awful.
@@alanrossreviews fair play well cheers for the info. Surprised at that.
My Man Could You Please Suggest Me A Speaker Under 200 Dollars With Good Loudness But Should Also Habe Good Deep Bass I Was Thinking About The Harman Kardon Onyx Studio 7 Or The Mifa Wildbox
U can get the xtreme 2 its great
Hello mr shoerice 👍
If you don't care about battery life, go HK Onyx Studio 7, the deep bass is on another level
Throw the go play into the mix and the onyx 6. But they dont go too loud due the the amount of bass they retain at max volumes. You can do worse than a pair of booms.
@@alanrossreviews How About 2 Mifa Wildboxes
How about x3 plugged in
everything same except x3 2db louder.
Tankz for your reply idol.your d best
Xtreme 3 have quite a nice quality bass, but does Mifa Wildbox manages such a quality, tight bass ? I know Motion Boom goes deeper but is less tight. I would like to know if Wildbox is better
However there's no way in hell that Xtreme 3 is 100W, they maybe use 4 25W drivers but I can't see the amp being bigger than 2x25W
There is a quality to the bass with xtreme. Its as i mention in the video, it has a meatyness to it that is missing on the wildbox.
@@alanrossreviews I see, so is Wildbox meatier than Motion Boom ? Because the lack of tightness on the Boom shows as soon as a track doesn't have much deep bass in it
I wouldnt describe it that way, i would say leaner which could sound like Tighter.
@@alanrossreviews Interesting. Now I really want to hear the Wildbox in person, but dammit they don't want to launch it on amazon ! Aliexpress prices are like 140€...
@Thibaut M̵̺̍ȧ̸̮h̴͓̉r̷͖̋ī̵̖n̵̜̍ǵ̷̝ĕ̴̘r̷̤͆ When/if it hits Amazon it will probably sell for less and I'll have to buy a Wildbox but I don't want to go the Aliexpress route for $140 right now.
Is the mifa louder than a soundcore rave neo?
You should review the w-kingf d10
link?
The JBL does sound ah bit cleaner and I do hear the hollow vocals of the mids in the mifa. If I was buying between the 2 I'd choose the mifa for the price. But, if someone was giving me as a gift and I had to choose... Obviously the JBL.
two mifas and you still have money over....
Mifa 👍🇧🇷🤝
So Alan, which one has more bass between the two?
Its pretty what i spent 3 days making a video about 😢
@@alanrossreviews haha my bad, i'll rewatch it again, thx for your reply as alwasy xD
Check the lufs i put with the charts, 0 being loudest and - 100 quietest for lufs
Am happy to say that I have successfully upgraded my mifa wildbox to the latest software version, I observed that from volume 1 - 100 there is bass and the RGB light now move with music, compare to the old software that lack bass from 1 - 70..thanks mifa.. I love 😍 mifa.. Motion boom is now in trouble 😂 😂
hum, only had a short listen but while new firmware is much clearer on vocals the bass is reduced somewhat especially at lower volumes. i think this is a love/hate update. but i only had 10 mins or so with it so i might totally change my mind after a proper listen.
@@alanrossreviews 😂 😂 it's confusing, but I prefer bass on low volume, atleast we can now get good bass at low volume compare to before, and the RGB is now synchronised.. Anyway downgrade to the old version is also possible.. Mifa said so..
@@alanrossreviews can you do comparism with old and new firmware... And also with motion boom..

Extreme 3 sounds more harsh and thinned out in the mids and highs.
its certainly not perfect
@@alanrossreviews would you prefer the Wildbox? With the absolute volume disabled trick.
no i prefer the motion boom as it sounds a bit fuller
@@alanrossreviews I like the looks of the Wildbox though it has the same button layout as the motion boom and I have a special eq that makes it sound fuller.
