Not the most rugged of form factors but the Audio pro C3 offers a taste of hi end hifi in a portable DIY looking box. Fits into the full multiroom system offered by Audio Pro. 25 watt speaker with a ported design and twin tweeters. In this sound test video I will compare the Audio Pro C3 portable speaker with the JBL Xtreme 3 and the Anker Soundcore Motion Boom.

Alan Ross Reviews Top Picks:
Pound for pound world champion:
Soundcore Motion Boom: geni.us/motionboom
Amazingly deep bass to 40hz for its size and price.
Still worth a look:
My former world champ the Soundcore Motion Plus can still offer great clarity.
geni.us/soundcoremotionplus
£50 champion:
Great bass for its size, Soundcore Boost: geni.us/soundcoreboost
Hi End Picks
Minirig mk3 2.2 system: geni.us/minirigmk3
Great for portable low deep kick: Onyx Studio 6: geni.us/onyxstudio6
Monitor Like openess but lacks deep bass: geni.us/audioproc3
Best Micro Options:
Bose Soundlink Micro (warm): geni.us/bosesoundlinkmicro
Tribit Stormbox Micxro (clinical): geni.us/tribitstormboxmicro
Worth a Look:
W-King T9: geni.us/wkingt9
The T9 is a reasonably loud and balanced party speaker with a big bright detailed sound.
Budget Loud Boombox: no clear winner but my pick for fun outside listen would be:
W-King X10 geni.us/wkingx10
Travel Speakers:
Marshall Stockwell 2: geni.us/stockwell2
offers a decent immersive sound with full and tight bass. Beware though it does go very loud
JBL Charge 5: geni.us/jblcharge5
Only mono but has a very clear and dynamic sound at low volumes and can go reasonably loud but will become a little screechy over 80%.

thanks for another great review!
thank you 👍🙏😊
Hi Alan, really enjoying all the great reviews and I'm probably just about to buy a motion boom but would like to know if there are any issues at low to very low volume?
And do you happen to know if would work/pair with my old sony NWZ-A15 mp3 player which has bluetooth?
Amazing way to compare them during the test 👍🏼
👍👍
hello there :)
do you tried other audio pro products? for me these speakers are definetly one of the best things i heard, and my audio pro t10 gen 2 was the first speaker that really opened my eyes with whats possible with details, fun, airyness, spacious sound...
i got now the audio pro t8l and the bigger brother the audio pro t14...i love that they can sound fun AND detailed and airy... i put bass and highs up (atm i have no good position for them in my room)... but even then they sound pheonemal, especially with tracks that have acoustic elements and are well mixed... electronic music is also nice if its mixed well... you can really hear what the focus of the mucis producers have been with these... i really love jazz, big band, rock with them because you can hear how well seperated every instrument is because its recorded well and mixed well...
but these speakers are also very forgivable, making medium mixed quality songs also not bad at all...
but i cant understand how someone would love to listen to them without equalizer...
and i also absolutely love that they can have low volume but sound very loud and passionate... even when people are sleeping in the same apartment, you can listen to music with joy, perfect if you have neighbours and stuff...
good and fun audio dont need to cost much... you dont need to spend thousands of dollars to get good audio quality... i spend 250 on the t14 and 170 euros on the t8l... bargain... most people dont know whats possible with good speakers...
nope this is the only one i tried along with t3 which is same without battery.

I have recently watched your video and it helps me to decide to buy the Audio pro . I really like the audio quality , the bass is loud with >70% sound . With
enjoy 👍
Nice video as always! 👌
Thanks for the visit
Can you make a review the new update of charge 5(0.7.4) is it worth it? I heard that there is a volumen decreased a little bit
Alan, I've been here on your channel for a really long time and you've successfully managed to keep me on my shopping spree.
Did you buy my shorts? 🤔 😜
@@alanrossreviews I'd even get boxers.
no motion boom?????? 😱😱
@@alanrossreviews Can't seem to get my hands on 'em through any online platforms! I am enjoying the LG PK7 though. Hopefully you could give those a review.
The sound core motion boom is for its price a killer bluetooth speaker. I bought one 2 months ago and it performed so well on every occasion. Better than I did: It was collecting a big party crowd in the public entertaining them for hours and at the and I pretended, that its battery is empty to leave the place and went home. I like your reviews very much 👍
i like your comments lots and lots 😊👍
Get the Audio Pro app, go to sound, set bass and treble to +4. Then we‘ll talk again. Love it. 😃👍
doesnt need any more treble for me but i love it anyway..has grown on me over time
Great review as always! Have you ever think about the Alexa speakers?
Ok Google, tell Alexa to f]
Sir do the Wonderboom 2 vs tribit max sound plus comparision
Watching and listening with my motion boom shakka lakka !
boom boom in da room!

Wow that Audio Pro C3 has unbelievably good balance in mids & highs for a budget bt speaker the only thing wrong with the tuning is the boosted upper bass especially near at 80% volume the sound gets quite boomy but hear me out if this did deep bass it would be an H/K Go+Play killer!
In there eco system they actually do a seperate subwoofer but reviews are not great
Does the subwoofer play as deep as 40 Hz?
i never tried it as i think its wifi only but i may be wrong. but when i was looking at it people were saying when wireless it doesnt produce enough power.
Also from Denmark. How is the C3 compared to dynaudio Music 1? Thanks
never tried the dynaudio Music 1, sorry.
I am quite intressed to see if JBL makes the EQ for tge xtreme 3. Huge preformance boost or none? Your videos are always a pleasure to watch. 😄😉
JBL have announced on their website that they will release a firmware update which will enable EQ settings. I am not sure why they are taking forever to get it to consumers. 😅😅😅🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@helmutnamwandi6815 is the point i was making.....they announced this weeks ago
Inb4 JBL changes their mind and makes it exclusive for their newer/unreleased speakers. Something they tend to do pretty often, especially with the whole "JBL Connect" thing
JBL just released an update to Charge 5 but that was not the EQ update. And I don't think the Xtreme 3 will be the only one with EQ settings. For sure the Charge 5 will also have it because it is newer than Xtreme 3 afterall.
@@helmutnamwandi6815 where exactly, I asked them under the Xtreme 3 "questions and answers" and one of JBL employees confirmed that the EQ settings can be accessed if I update the app. But nothing. And the new firmware is 0.1.6 on the Xtreme 3.
I would love to see Alan review a Diamondboxx L3
my neighbours disagree 😣
I don’t know what all this technical stuff means or is about but I bought the motion boom…couldn’t be happier
Saved a bunch of money and has a handle. Took it out to the lake all day on a double decker pontoon boat cranked it up and rocked the place. Got home had half battery life left. Good job Anker. Also bought one of those 10L dry bags to store it in. Works great and protects the radiators and finish. And I have a dry bag If I need one.
You can download the soundcore app in the Apple store or Play store, and match his equalizer settings, you will take it to another level.
Yup, you dont need to know the techie stuff, end of the day this is a great value speaker 🔊
👍
Ive got a T5, its amazing.
👍👍🤗
I like the mids and highs on the C3, but the bass needs improvement. If it wasn't so expensive I would grab one.
Yeah a warmer bass would have made it a major go 😝
I've seen the C3 around in my past speaker researches. It was praised as audiophile-like and I'm happy to finally see some measurements from you. I don't see this as one I would personally be interested in, though. Although sound quality will always be first and foremost for me I think it makes the motion boom look beautiful by comparison (as much as people complain about the boom's anesthetics). I think the (normal) price tag of the C3 is a little hard to swallow as well considering what it offers and that missing mid bass is kind of weird. I am still thinking about picking up the Stockwell 2 at some point. I wonder how the C3 would sound compared to it? 🤔 Awesome review, (as always) Alan! 😁👍👏
yes that would be an interesting one.....
incredible : I was looking for review for this speaker wondering if it works with CZcams music. But I was thinking "okay nobody except me use CZcams music and the chances of finding a review of that specific speaker with someone saying if it works or not with YT music are one in a million".
I guess I was wrong :-). Also now I'm disappointed about the C3 not supporting it :'( . Maybe I'll get the non WiFi version since I'm not sure I'll have many uses for it.
wifi is always handy to have an option for, it does improve sound quality

I recently recommended the urbanears 'RALIS' speaker to you as it has really deep bass but you said that the ported box type speakers was not 'your thing' After watching this review i still think the ralis is a better speaker with far deeper bass and costing only £49.99 from HMV makes it a steel.Maybe a comparison between the audio pro, urbanears and your pound for pound champion of course would be very interesting.Cheers,keep up the good work,love your reviews.
i said ported was not my thing? not something i actually think so not sure what context i would have said that 😝 i have looked at that speaker but its not really interesting to me.
I heard the c5 for the first time in Currys/pc world. It was the first speaker that I was truly impressed with. Something I truly wanted. However it was a little expensive for me at the time and it wasn't portable like the C3 was.
I got the minirig3 set (which is more expensive lol), but sometimes I still long for the audio-pro.
well audio pro is fine but you wont get the stereo and instrument seperation you get with a minirig setup
Damn I’m late.
But you know I couldn’t miss out on one of your videos 🤪
ive been waiting for yer!!!!!!!!!!!!
@@alanrossreviews I gotta be better 😂😂
Crazy how I was just watching your video comparing the Onyx 6 and 7, took a nap and woke up to this 2 hours later.
your saying my my onyx compare put you to sleep? 😭😭
@@alanrossreviews 😂😂😂
Nope nope. Was a little tired before I watched the video, and made sure to watch the whole thing before I took a nap 🙌🏼
I really just love watching your videos because you teach me (and others) so much about the audio world, and make it so easy most of the times to explain.
The C10 Mk2's great as well
Not coloured and neutral are the best traits a speaker can have. Just make sure you put on a useful treble and bass knob there or even an eq for consumers to adjust to their liking. But neutral is the best starting point. Give me a flat response from 20hz to 20khz anytime anyday. :)
P.S : The Xtreme 3 sounded awful here. LOL!
not asking for much then 🥳🥳🥳
You are the best!
This is true 😁😁
I would take the c3 anyday, although a bit too expensive 😉
If its not expensive its not audiophile 😝 gotta have bragging rights 👌
review audio pro c10 mkII
Agreed. Do this one.
Try the Audio Pro C10. This has the bass and the volume missing in the C3. It's a portable indoor speaker that sounds almost as good as my living room hi-fi. But if I'm doing a BBQ I'll grab a pair of waterproof Bluetooth speakers and let my guests choose their music.
Portable as in has a battery?
@@alanrossreviews Please review the Treblab HD Max
@@alanrossreviews No battery but as a multiroom speaker to liberally dot around the house it's outstanding and you can pick them up for 260ish which is a steal.
Which one would you prefer more Audio Pro C3 or Marshall Stockwell 2 ?
hum, thats a close call. the s2 is more travel friendly, the c3 does look or feel like a portable speaker, but yes i know it is 😋
@@alanrossreviews How about Marshall Stockwell 2 vs B&O A1 1st gen ? 🙂
@@igorz.3972 Well that's not a fair fight, the a1 can be carried in a pocket, the 1st gen is my go to for a small travel speaker but on. Axis indoors id listen to the stockwell 2. Its bigger and sounds bigger
@@alanrossreviews Got it, thanks a lot ! Will check them both 👍
I've just bought a C3 and it absolutely wipes the floor with extreme 2. The extreme is louder and produces deeper bass, but in comparision to the C3, sounds muddled and the bass is boomy. Bass lovers will prefer the extreme but people who understand and appreciate sound quality will prefer the C3. It has more clarity and detail, and the lows, mids and highs are of much better quality. Overall it sounds more audiophile. The kids may not appreciate it but those from a more 'hifi' background will. I've owned many speakers/separates from Arcam, Audiolab, Cambridge Audio, KEF, Mission, Q Acoustics, B&W, so know what good sound quality is. Audio Pro have nailed it!!!
at the end of the day we have different tastes and our taste matures as we listen to more and more gear. but you only have to like what you hear and thats the bottom line. i loved the charge 3 as well 👍👍
Totally agree, ive had some pretty good speakers and amps and the c3 is in a class of its own on my opinion. Its got tone and rhythm. Anyone who hears my c3 either ends up singing along to the music or comments on how good it is. Chuck it near the wall and give the bass some support and it sounds very balanced. Down to 60hz with a tiny woofer too is impressive. Also stream through wifi using something like tidal and the quality jumps a lot. I also boost the treble by a couple of notches.
I compared Sony XG300 with C3 and for me the C3 is much better for me. I think its a small HiFi BT speaker with great battery. I love it.
the x3 is/was a rare buy, much perfer the mb over the xtremely priced xt3
Xtremely priced 😝👌
Watching this again because I have a speaker that actually have a similar bass tuning (Vulkkano T40 ARC), though with more mid bass.
It does have a hole between 60 and 50hz, and the bass is weird, but on some tracks it does kinda work.
A hearable but soft deep bass floor between 40 and 50hz, and strong mid bass and upper bass.
However when it doesn't work, it falls flat on it's face.
I still prefer bass with no holes lol
@@ThibautMahringer i like it's laid back nature but about speaker robbed of life due to stereo tweeters but mono mids
@@alanrossreviews On my speaker there's two tweeters but only one is active weirdly enough, so it's a consistent mono sound, and it's not V-shaped, but actually balanced so it's actually nice a whole majority of the time, only when a track produces 50hz as the main bass frequencies does my speaker fails completely to deliver 😂
@@ThibautMahringer but is it mono or one side stereo?
@@alanrossreviews You're asking if it downplay stereo or if it's pure mono ? I have no idea lol, how I am supposed to test that ?
@@ThibautMahringer i mean are you losing a channel cause of the wonky tweeter? Just play a left right test track
The Soundcore is not in the league of the other two speakers - sounds too emaciated. JBL will be the party-king, while Audio Pro would be great for vocals and acoustic music. But it wouldnt be a slouch for fun use because it almost transforms at higher volumes (as explained why by you with the graphs). By the way, I liked how thorough and detailed you were with your analysis and preparation, while at the same time being so cool and easy-going in your delivery!
cool and easy going, i'll take that 😝👍 thank you!
No more shorts videos huh ? 😝
Really weird bass tuning for the Audio Pro C3, what a wasted potential... Hearable 30hz would have been amazing for such a small speaker. 😭 Why did they choosed to push upper bass that much ?
Still sounds decent though !
i dont know 😝 so close and yet so far 🤪
@@alanrossreviews My guess is that it's due to size / power limitations. Maybe they can't maintain both mid and deep bass at the same time because it's too expensive for such a small speaker ? So they push upper bass and that 40/30hz deep bass instead since upper bass is easier to drive. 🤔 In theory it's a good idea, but reducing that upper bass to push mid bass a bit more would have been better to me !
@@ThibautMahringer probably the woofer cant handle the mid bass and the port is handling a little deeper bass. i dunno, or its just a crowd pleaser? most people are happy with a big dollop of upper bass.
@@alanrossreviews Yeah that make sense, the ported design might work well in a corner to increase the deeper bass though ! And yeah you're right, I've seen reviews on Amazon saying that Motion Boom doesn't have much bass, obviously those people meant upper bass...
and probably they are stuck in default mode. ❓
Can you test new Audio Pro A15 speaker?
is it any good?
Many positive reviews on internet but just a few sound tests. Interesting your opinion about it after test 😌
just so many requests for so many different speakers i simply dont have the time. have to stick with the most interesting ones. i do like my c3
@@alanrossreviews you should try and i guess you won't regret😆
i guess i wont be buying another bluetooth speaker - still rocking my C5's - i just wish they make a rugged version for these badboys
charge 5s? or audio pro c5?
@@alanrossreviews audio pro c5
Is it better than Sonos?
which sonos?
@@alanrossreviews Well, I guess the comparison for the C3 is the Sonos One, isn't it? I'm just dipping my toe in this stuff at the moment, so I'll be guided!
C3 does look like a house brick with a carry handle 🤣. More suited to classical perhaps? 🤔
the queen is in town 👍 i dont think its got the deep bass to do classical justice, or the harmonics if it comes to that but its flat in between that 😋
Haha… not quite getting there. My HIFI does the classical stuff justice, haven’t really found any small speakers that work for that, as you need sound stage and balance. I will listen to your audio samples with earphones in a bit, couldn’t hear this one too great on my phone. Seems a bit bright. Would like a comparison to the Motion + maybe? Which is louder? 🤔
@@snowqueen7968 yeah i was kinda thinking to myself this is like a hi end motion plus.
@@alanrossreviews Could have saved yourself a few quid 💷 I’m constantly on the search for “ the one” when it comes to speakers. Something you can take anywhere, connect to anything without any annoying lack of features. Alas I’ve never found it… 😭
@@snowqueen7968 kinda like relationships really...😂
I never liked the sound of C3. I kept it just one week and than i gave it to a friend as a gift. This one was my worst purchase as a bt speaker...
Not fun to listen to, basses were awful, upper volumes were even worse...
yeah but apart from that? 😭😭😭
@@alanrossreviews nothing left 😅😃
Very not impressive speaker is this new old kid on the block
It's not bad but sounds off against these deep bass heavy speakers.
