So if youâre in the market for a large portable bluetooth speaker then chances are youâre probably either looking at the JBL Xtreme 3 or the Sony XB43⊠2 very popular speakers that have been updated for 2020. Now even though at the end of the day these are just speakers⊠they are very different from one another. And depending on your needs youâll be better off with one over the other. So lets see how the JBL Xtreme 3 stacks up to the Sony XB43.

Great review/comparison! That was awesome! However, my "real world" experience with the Sony XB-43's battery life is far better than 5 hours. I use it on a daily basis, always in "extra bass" mode, with volume varying from 30-80% with an average of approximately 60%, and usually with the lights on and the battery lasts for days. After watching your video, I decided to test mine, just out of curiosity. I was honestly surprised by the result... I ran it in 4 hour intervals, lights on, at 60% volume, with approximately 20 hours between intervals.
At the end of the 1st 4 hours, the battery was at 70%. End of 2nd 4 hours, battery was at 50%. End of 3rd 4 hours, battery was at 20%. I got the "please charge" notification 48 minutes into the 4th interval, and the speaker shut down 51 minutes later, at 1:39 (1hr 39min) into the 4th interval. For a total time of 13 hours and 39 minutes over a 4 day period.
Now, that being said, I know there are a million different variables that can change the functionality of the battery. Such as heat, humidity, age and the number of charge cycles of the battery, variations in manufacturing, differences in music and audio quality, Bluetooth connectivity, and even the device being used to play the audio. In other words, my test was VARY unscientific with countless uncontrolled variables.
If I can find a way to test it at 80% volume without the neighbors calling the police, I would love to see what kind of difference that would make. Lol
Thank you very much for share.
I have an older Bose Soundlink and I wanted to get something better. After seeing this video and others, I decided to go with the Sony. I will tell you that the Sony has so much more depth (front to back) with the reverb as well as more top end providing a more open sound over the Bose. Of course the Sony is much larger, and heavier (bigger speaker with magnets which add weight as well but its well worth it). Sony is stereo with a left right speakers, two tweeters and and the sub. I also like that the bluetooth option provides an option of a higher quality connection LDAC, aptX HD codec. I turned off the annoying blinking lights. Sure that might be for when your in the dark or something, but it will take away from battery life and can be distracting.
The most important thing to me is the quality of the sound. Not too boomy bass and a good balance. On the sound examples of the JBL, it does sound nice, but I prefer the more open sound of the Sony. I purchased the Sony just under $200 and I prefer its sound to I am good. All in all, I highly recommend the Sony.
Thanks for the video.
@RS1 I'm a recording engineer.
Thanks for the tip mate!
I absolutely agree with you, the Sony has much more mid, on the other hand the Jbl has more low and high what is more impressive for avarage people. But the Sony's balanced sound is so much better at for example acoustic musics or sg like that.
Which soundlink did you have? I have a SLIII and wanting to upgrade to something more bassier, and as clear how will buying 2 of these XB 43s workout?
Thank bro.
The extreme 3 looks like it came from another world but the Sony looks like it's from the future
The pulse looks like a living organism though.
Actully pretty good
You mean itâs from the 90s.....those lights are a gimmick and an ugly one at that
lol i love the lights i always thought it was funny
The XB43 is only 15W though. The Xtreme 3 is 50W.
I agree, I have the XB43 and I does have me wanting more out of it but I knew that I prefer sound quality over loudness especially for for a speaker meant for small get togethers and not a PA speaker meant for a medium sized room! This is a great and unbiased review!
You with what you like. Sound is a preference for people. It's like looking at colors everyone sees it differently same with sound. Everyone hears differently.
I was immediately alienated from Sony just based on sound reviews on youtube, listening through my ipad. JBl sounded so much better. Until I came into the store and had a test drive.. you canât really do it justice, unless you listen in person. Such full, clean, ambient sound that wraps you all around. It really does feel as if thereâs a concert happening in your backyard. A really good one. JBL sounds like itâs playing from a canister. And Iâve got just the small XB23. The XB43 was mindblowing, great if youâre having parties on the beach with 50+ person crowd. Otherwise, the smaller one is no worse.
I did the same, " sound tested in the store". The xp43 sounds much nicer.
I just tried out Live mode and it is GREAT , 6FT away with the bass and treble +10 mid +6 it has just completely maximised the soundstage of the IDM im listening to, I thought it would be a gimmick but I am really impressed by the difference toggling between Extra Bass and it. I can't believe he brushed it off with the "just adds reverb" comment, its specifically immersive surround sound technology they've worked on here , not, they've made a mode that "just adds reverb" what the flying fuck is he on about.
Totally agree! XB43 sounds much more musical, it is much better for music with acoustic instruments. Itâs definitely a better choice, unless vocals and drums is all you want from the music.
@@kimelmore5114 it does i have a xb43
@Daniel Arellano no need to be toxic jeez
I had sony xb43 3months now,the quality sound is so great,clearer and very relaxing in d ears even the fullest volume. The sound is so nive to be heard. I used it everyday in 90%volume and the battery is incredible it gives you playing longer in 20hrs-hrs imagine that
Yay I just ordered one canât wait to try it! Only $150 right now
AAC and LDAC is a game changer
It means high quality Audio đ
You wont tell the difference on those codecs on a bt speaker đ
@@haraldsvik1452 placebo for sure. Especially if itâs sitting on a picnic table outside with background noise all over the place. Lol
Sony is not not for this gener of music...jbl is focused on youth, and they listen trap, d&b , hip hop, so long, and it does a great job!
You should hear Elke Klein - summer days and night on sony, and you will sell the jbl.
And no, it means a lot in nature, you need a background music, not brute music that can become tying. With sony, you feel a lot of echoes, spacial sound, not just a single point-source of misic...the bass is deep on lo-mid volume .
I have a xb22 and on the beach, it sounds is like a life concert in front of me...
@@haraldsvik1452 not just about sound quality but latency. SBC on the JBL speakers is awful for watching videos
Yup game changer for me. Of course will opt for better bluetooth connection. In car I have Sony head unit at music is at stick. Did read a few years go about loosing quality because of Bluetooth. Now when is bluetooth up can by sony speaker and some mp3 player, Fiio or Sony, and use it at job site. Throw mp3 player in some shelf and drag speaker around with me.
If you're 20 years old and you want to have a loud party, buy a JBL. But if you want quality sound, buy SONY.
If you are 59 buy both
@@gtbigdog3507 JBL for the 20 year old Son đand SONY for yourselfđ
I got the chance to try both. The JBL is definitely the louder one. Out of the box, the JBL definitely has more emphasis on the highs, and the Sony can a bit deeper with the bass. But the Live mode on Sony does make the highs much clearer, that I couldnât distinguish either, while still having the better bass.
So I really think itâs just a matter of preference in terms of sound quality. The Sony is the better indoor speaker, while the JBL is definitely the better one for outdoors. I returned the JBL and kept the Sony since I use it indoors all the time.
Only just tried Live mode since I got it 2 weeks ago.. it is a major plus for the music.
Have you tested both..?
Interesting insight!
How does the sony have better bass? Do you mean deeper as in louder at high bass, or actually lower Hz?
@@TheSergio1021 he probably means the speaker can actually reproduce lower frequencies, which makes quite a lot of sense considering the frequency responses of both (20-20k for the xb43 and 53-20k for the xtreme3), for outdoor use i kinda prefer the xtreme tho as it simply gets louder lol
Sony is light years ahead than others. For people who says JBL sounds lively than Sony they should know that this liveliness is nothing but a boost in the treble which on long run will damage your eardrum. U can easily make ur Sony sound like that by selecting the "excited" mode in it's EQ setting. But Sony doesn't prefer to give a treble boosted sound out of the box because they have the technology to give u a warm sound signature that will suit most of our ears, something which JBL simply doesn't have. Before commenting learn how to use Sony and it's EQ setting. u can actually make the Sony sound like the way u want. So don't comment like a kid by saying JBL sounds lively
Have you ever tried the eq of the XB43? It's not that great and definitely can't give a clear sound signature. It will always be flat, muffled and simply nog bright enough. Maybe the XB43 will stay more solid around 85 - 100%, but imo, I wouldn't even use both speakers on those kind volumes, because THAN... it will truly damage your eardrums and the speakers itself. Every speaker will damage your ears when playing on high volume. The Xtreme3 just has a lot of clarity and will definitely not damage your ears when you're playing on a normal volume.
It's also about which sound signature you like and even with the eq on the XB43... it can't compete with the Xtreme3 for me, simply because it lacks highs and therefore detail in the music that you're playing.
Jbl would blow every speaker out of the water if they actually make an good app and not switch between connect features every single year. Im sure u can connect the xb30 to the xb 32. And not connect the Xtreme 3 to Xtreme 1. JBL sucks for now if u look at features...
Jbl is the best đ
No need to be so harsh, as a JBL fan, I take offense :/
Agreed tested both and Sony sounds balanced and I prefer sony for long time listening
I have the xtreme 3 and I love it. My favorite feature is when you plug it in it gets a sound boost.
Tested the JBL extreme 3, Charge 5 and XB 43 at Mediamarkt.
I must say the difference of the smaller and larger JBL wasn't that big. The JBL has alot of bass but lacking in mids and has a high pitch treble that left my ears tired from It. The Sony has a much more musical If not more relaxing tone response IRL.
What was surpising was the sound spread oattern! The JBL had 40degree sound cone before it dropped of by 50%, whereas the Sony had a 90degree sound cone.
So the Sony is better for entertaining a few friends on a blanket in a park I would say. The JBLs bass is a bit much in the park aswell đ
This is a rare audio review where ALL my questions are answered. Thank you.
Glad I can help

@@GYMCADDY Bought it. Easily my best Sony bt speaker. Sounds great for close range listening at low to moderate volumes. The best all round speaker for computer for general general.
Considering you can get the Sony for 150⏠(like it has been the black friday week and even today ciber monday) , there is no contest here. You can get 2 and even save 50⏠compared to one JBL Xtreme 3.
Also, setting the eq in the Sony to the Live mode through the Music Center app, makes it sound even better than the xtreme 3.
Or the Extreme 2 for 170
I think it's the Sony's Punchy bass really loud Punchy bass that fools people for the first 5 minutes
@@michaelhopkins5531 I dont listen to music with loud bass, and I even lower it in the eq, so no, it's not that.
This speakers has different sound modes and eq for a reason, not to play music on them on stock settings.
But again, I just stated that considering the sound quality/price ratio, the Sony wins easily.
@@SuperLisandro86 sure I think the Sony is great for the price I'm sure the sound is really good I watch so many videos on the extreme and the Sony everybody has a different opinion and I listen to this on my extreme to not a pair of headphones on certain occasions I would listen to this Tony on other occasions I would listen to the JBL I love speakers in general I collect them I wind up going to the store and listen it for myself I want to get the Sony and I also want the Xtreme 3 I also would like 10 other ones on top of the eight I already have I like rumbling based on the JBL when I'm watching movies and listening to hip-hop or what not I'm sure the Sony has a nice open Sound four kinds of music and it is very pretty you know the lights like I said you can get the JBL Xtreme 2 or the Sony at about the same price two different kinds of sounds for different kinds of things it's just fun thanks for your reply
Some of my opinions are based on the opinions of other reviews so it's personal taste and I like them both but the Sony xb43 for a buck 70 oh yeah
I was searching about this two speakers and this review is the best by far, all the points clear. Thanks
I own the xb 43 and it's so clear and it's slightly better than my co workers xtreme 2 but I would love to see my speaker go against the xtreme 3 in person
I feel sony speakers sound not as sharp as jbl speakers.
I disagree. I have both. It depends on music though. But Xtreme 2 sounded better most of the time. And bass is deeper and better .with xtreme 2 compared with XB43
@@ulysescasilum7023 no it isn't. The XB43 can reach as down as 40hz unlike the JBL which can't.
I compared both speakers in store. Personally, I think the xb43 sounds much nicer than the jbl extreme 3

I am listening this on my jbl xtreme lol
Me too haha
Since when do you have it .. Any disadvantages
Ive noticed that there is a very technical approach with those who prefer the XB43, while those choosing the JBL X3 use terms like âway betterâ, âmuch better soundâ, âthe best bassâ, âclear winner hands downâ. Total turn off⊠Stick to clear metrics, technical terms and acknowledge and demonstrate the XB43 sound modes and EQ on Sony Music Center or get out.
Legitimate analysis leaves no room for fanboy nonsense or feelings. I own products from both manufacturers Sony and JBL/Harman/Samsung.
Decent review. Disappointing and predictable comments.
I tell you what. The light show on the xb43 is something you don't think you need. But it makes all the difference. It's the reason I picked it over the extreme.
The Xtreme it's si much louder than the xb43.. i like the Sony But it's no way better than the Xtreme 3
@@luisignaciogarciaguarda6626 but xb43 plays layers in songs that xtreme 3 wont. Think about that. If u like only bass go for jbl but if u like to music how it ment sound go for sony. Simple as that
@@barbar1an_ that's not true, The JBL lets you experience the bass much and treble where as the sony doesn't have the sharp treble of the JBL.
@@freshtowels3917 no not really but since u have jbl infecting ur brain and blood cant really argue
@@freshtowels3917 dude I've just decided to try Live mode,, its incredible, he did t review it properly
I have both of em and i actually prefer xb43 becz i love bass and it suitable for those who love to watch movie cuz it has live sound and at the same time u can custom the EQ for the crispy clarity quality and for jbl extreme, it sound balance and dynamic which is the best in vocal quality but the bass doesn't kick like Sony's speakers
Thanks for the comparison!
I love the fuller bass of jbl here versus the rather flat bass of sony
I thought I was the only one that heard how flat the bass is on the Sony. I gotta give my money to JBL đ
JBL has just gotten it down so much better. Between the more punchy bass and the highs are crisp. While the sony just sounds a little muddy compared to it. Don't get me wrong they both sound great but the JBL is the more worth it buy. Even when the Xtreme 2 goes on sell still more worth it.
Haven't had an occasion where I'd need the speaker at 100%. Also the price difference is massive.
I have the Extreme 3 and have never set it more than 50%.
@@gtbigdog3507 how's the latency when watching videos?
@@defnotatroll he never answered your question so I will for you. It's not horrible at all in fact almost none existent. Even on the xtreme 2 which is stuck at Bluetooth 4.9
@@defnotatroll the xtreme 3 has Bluetooth 5.0 so it has virtually no latency for video playback. Recording audio though with mic feedback is a different story.
@@username-zd3pn I have an Xtreme 2 and the latency is very noticeable
The sound of both is fairly similar, but I would have to give it to the SONY. There is just something about how SONY speakers handle the mids IMHO. Clearer and better seperation, whereas the JBL gets a bit muddy. As well as SONY's warmer sound as you noted. Plus SONY at least has an app that allows some customization.
Actually the Xtreme 3 is brighter the XB 43 is a bit muffled.
@@legendaryblood1937 not to my ears regarding the mids. I said specifically the mids. Not the highs.
@@Sabundy even if you like it or not the frequency response says the Xtreme 3 has better frequency response and overall a flatter sound signature with a peak at 6-7 khz which makes it sound harsh.. but the Xtreme 3 is closer to neutral sounding than XB 43 but it was just my opinion.

A proud owner of sony srs xb43 using it since past 2 years....i also have a jbl, in short jbl is a rowdy beast while sony srs xb43 is a badass gentleman
Live mode on xb43 is great ! 6ft away inside with EQd bass +10 it expands the soundstage massively and makes an immersive surround sound quality. Not just add reverb? Or even it just does those things and I don't really know what your talking about "just adds reverb".. ? Its a total soundstage xpandr mode
Listening from my Sony xb43. The lights on the Sony xb43 are fairly customizable , so, it don't have to interfere significantly with your over all battery life.
Just purchased the xb 43 brand new for approx. âŹ119.
Huge price difference compared to the xtreme 3.
You did well
One thing that is completely forgotten, the battery is easily replaceable in all JBL extreme's.
The speakers should be thrashed to death and a new version should be available before the battery gives up.
@@audioman6007 I should try this idea with my car!!
From what I've heard though, the battery doesn't last as many charge cycles.
The treble and bass of xtreme 3 is a click better bass deep treble is like crystal but there is not much difference between them and jbl xtreme 3 is 315 dollars, sony xb43 150 dollars there is 2 times difference between sony you can get 2 times more sound
my choice is SONY XB43
I like my xb43. It has a loud classy smooth audio output .
And live mode much louder đ€
@@ujarkk2 yes its louder.
JBL has the signature headache giving fake treble
Both sound great !! Preference i would say to which one you like..
JBL extreme 3 us well made, when you get in the pool with it the woofers head upwards that way even floating in the pool you can listen to music things like that no one reviews them, the chain it has makes a big difference for portability, the only down for me is that the output is not really 100w is more like 60w is loud but not as loud as id like.
Alan Ross Reviews clearly showed that the X3 is better than the xb43 and the X2 plus the x3 is even better if you supply 20v via the usb C port so if you have a Powerbank with 20v output capability you will have its full power on the go
Agreed jbl hands down
Alan Ross reviews have setting eq sound so bad why Alan Ross dint want review without adjusting the eq
Live mode on XB43 is killer
They both look awesome but Sony is amazing when it comes to music quality, even though the Extreme may sound louder I still think I'm getting the Sony of the Sound Quality and also the Lights đ„ makes you feel nice.
Agree.. But The XB43 sounds about 4Db louder
Sony is more louder with eq and you can get better sound ( i'm french)
The XB43 sounds more balanced, but the Xtreme 3 is very nice too.
I wish the Jbl logo was smaller đđ
@MrGriff305 I can hear 60-80 Hz notes clearly, especially when i put it on my cupboard behind the bed, but only extra bass and live mode. The stamina totally cuts the deeper frequencies.
@MrGriff305 The little size has it limitations... :)))
The Xtreme 3 punches stronger, but the XB43 sounds warmer.
@MrGriff305 You won't be let down by the bass, I just got the XB43 and it is notiecably better than my Extreme 2 with bass.
@MrGriff305 can u tell ur eq setting i heard a guy wit an x33 in the park and it sounded bassy energic im interested in the setting of ur eq
No brained there the JBL kicks it out I guess the charge 5 wasnât out when this video was made itâs an awesome speaker power and sound signature is incredible
I just buy extreme 3

No comparison
But on the beach đ if you plan party not good as I aspect ..

I'm not sure if using Extrabass mode is right choice, the livesound is IMHO much better

@Ezra Redgwellgood IDM very well mastered and usually juicy and flat sound effects , with Live mode on and Bass +10 Mid +6 and my Trebl is at +10 , fuck me its incredible
For me personally, I prefer the bright sound signature of JBL xtreme 3 and its cool design. I guess it's depends on your preference. If you want a warmer sound, go for the sony. On the other hand, if you like brighter sparkly sound signature then go for jbl.
You can adjust the EQ on the Sony to match the sound signature of the JBL Extreme 3.

I bought the Extreme 3, very simple and sounds great. The Sony is too gimmicky, just more to go wrong.
Good thing i have a OnePlus 9 pro. It has Dolby Atmos to be able to mess with the EQ even more. And disable absolute Bluetooth volume to be able to get it to sound even louder for the xb43! đ This is why I love android. You can always do more and get around these limitations.

The sound is way different when you hear it personally. The Sony XB43 does have a clearer and more balanced sound than the JBL.

The mids, stereo soundstage and instrumental separation in the new Sony XB line improved a lot compared to their predecessors. The XB23 is subpar, but the 33 and 43 are very great products. The 33 has a nicely balanced sound signature with rich mids, but the 43 gives a little bit deeper and punchier bass notes.
I have 2 xb43s, it is nice in stereo.
Is the sony xb Waterproof?
Any reviews with good music?
U said xb 43 has support for ldac.. does that mean it can play 900kbps songs without any distortion.. ?
Having had both I prefer the jbl sound but the Sony looks sick
jbl sucks man sony is the best and its loud asf idk what he wants to blow your ears off i have it in the car and put it full volume and my dad says turn it down and he loves loud
@@Silvabross have you owned a jbl bc I guarantee you havenât otherwise you wouldnât be saying that as you wear headphones on this video and hear CLEARLY that the jbl has far deeper and clean bass
@@Silvabross itâs like saying a poodle is better than a Labrador itâs personal preference over which you choose donât just say it sucks because it clearly doesnât you just prefer sony
I like your comparison really much, thank you for that video. It shows up ALL of the functions of BOTH speakers, itâs a fair comparison, so I could decide on my own, which one to buy. That was very helpful! Thank you very much!!
I currently have the Bose soundlink III for many years, would it be an upgrade to get the xb43? I love loudness, BASS, and quality. I use my speakers for when I workout at the park doing calisthenic work
xtreme 3 is a clear winner for me personally, at high volumes I get distortion on the xb43 and very mini sound cut outs. I feel like if youâre buying one of these speakers itâs to play at 80% volume and above and xtreme 3 dominates. Sony just doesnât go loud enough with enough bass. Do agree with you on the highs being a bit exhausting after a while on the xtreme 3 though. Minirig 2.1 defeats everything anyway đ€€
Do u mean minirig sub 3 speaker?
I can't believe That the xb43 sounds better than the Xtreme 3 .. i disagree
isnt true
@@marty1171 i Saw Many reviews and nobody says the xb43 is better.. actually the barrery at max volume is 3 hrs or less
@@luisignaciogarciaguarda6626 thatâs not true
I have had dres beat pill, jbl charge 3 and xb 41, comparing size and price the Sony xbs takes it, better sound quality and bass as also longer battery life, soon to get xb43 when price goes down
Jbl has more treble. Even with the tweeters the Sony still is not as sharp sounding as that signature jbl sound.
Sony Live mode sound batter then jbl
I agree
They both sound really good but it comes to the bass the jbl sounds better and the Sony losses some quality
And thatâs not trueâŠ.

no matter what you say XB43 is superior!
Itâs surprising to me that more people arenât focusing on the enormous price difference. XB43 is $150 brand new right now, Xtreme 3 is $320 on sale. Xtreme 3 should be an entirely different class than XB43 and blow it out of the water completely for that price, and it doesnât come close to that, so itâs definitely not worth the $$
just saw that the xb43 is like $89 on ebay for certified refurbished. Not bad for $249 retail! Gonna order one this month and see how it does as my official sponsor of shower concerts
when do u think the new Sony XB43/44 in 2021?
Sony sounds a bit worse but the difference isn't massive . I would recommend getting the Sony if on a budget and get the jbl if you have the money
I compared the Xtreme3 with the XB43, and I find that the XB43 is lacking a lot of detail in it's soundquality. You have access to an EQ, but that doesn't give you a very much better soundquality. It just always sounds flat to me, or too (ugly) bassy. I would take the Xtreme3 above the XB43 anytime, even if the price difference would be around âŹ100,-. Also I find that the soundquality of the Xtreme3 has much improved over the Xtreme2. A lot more clarity, deeper bass, and gives you a much more open and dynamic sound. Just sold my Xtreme2 and bought an Xtreme3 for around âŹ199,-.
Did u use it with Ldac?
I'm leaning more towards JBL
Set to : LIVE mode , set EQ : Bass+10 Treble +10 Mid+6
He didn't hear Live mode properly which is clear to me as I toggle it between it and Extra Bass,, believe me it throws the soundstage way open with an immersive surround while the EQ up of the bass retains the punch. I just like the treble up.
right now in romania i can get the xb43 at 135 dollars when the jbl extreme 3 is 315 dollars ( or 135$ = 600 ron and 315$ = 1500 ron so i think i will go with xb43 ( almoust a 200$ difference ) and xb43 is better bec of price has the eq is still a bit big you can have it in a backpack so yea.. i right now have a tronsmart t6 plus, that's why i want to upgrade (is bigger, better bass/volume so yea) btw nice video, liked it!
Hey the Harman Kardon Onyx Studio 6/7. Way better than both.
I learned this the hard way. The heavier these speakers are, the more battery they hold and the more bass they have.
At 10:31 the xb 43 have a eq witch can make it more louder
Former JBL charge 3 and Clip 2 user and now I'm using XB43
JBL: battery sucks
SONY: battery are awesome
XD no amigo, la baterĂa de la JBL es mejor, lo digo por quĂ© ya tuve una JBL go 2, una sony xb 22 y una jbl charge 4, en la clip la baterĂa no es tan buena pero en la charge si XD, ah y la Sony xb 22 no me gustĂł la duraciĂłn de su baterĂa
Mine too. 3 years ago I bought a sony xb30 at 8 months and JBL Charge3 at 12 months. A year ago the JBL battery was broken and the Sony one is still durable today.
Hoping to see review of caliber speakers. I got the HBB460BT it sounds amazing and costs half the price. It's big and weights 5kg though. It's built like a tank. It costs 109,99 euros, about 130 bucks I think.
Please show it off against the Teufel Rockster cross.
Is xb43 the first one that has tweeter?
Thanks for your review.
Anyone know whether it's possible to put a strap on the sony? Just ordered one đđ„
Don't believe so
You can order a carrying case for your sony xb43.
A speaker could knock the spackle off the walls and you guys would STILL âwant moreâ even though you have no idea how all of this works. Battery life too - the battery could last for three days and OF COURSE yâall would complain it doesnât last five. If it lasted five, youâd complain that it doesnât last seven. đ€Šââïž
It never ends.
Liked your review here in Cali. I have a charge 4 for 3 yrs now. My music is 100% indoors. I'm thinking either charge 5 or the sony 43. Anybody have any input on that. I'm looking for BASS AND LOUD of course.
Please which do you think is better Sony srs xb43 or soundcore rave neo
im dissapointed with the lack of bass on the xtreme 3 but im trying to find speakers with more and cant...
I Got the jbl xtreame 2 for 80$ and im so happy with it
I just bought the xtreme 3 used on ebay for 149$. Hoping to listen to some Bob Marley.
Finally after ravaging through hundreds of comments
Would you recommend?
for the max volume test for both the if u go in the app for the xb43 and turn the equalizer up for everything it makes it louder than the extreme
Fax
In the end i would go for the xtreme 3
