Any questions? Want to see a comparison of the W-King T11 to another speaker? Let me know and I'll try and make it happen!
Tribit stormbox blast would be interesting: soundquality, volume
@@bernardlu11 i own both so I'll try and get a comparison done soon. Both great speakers. In my opinion I'll say the tribit has a slight edge in audio quality but the w11 has more low end bass. Battery life is pretty similar. Not too sure about overall volume as I haven't done a side by side comparison yet. I'll get it on the schedule to do soon!
If I wasn't already a DJ with several subs and PA speakers, I definately would've picked one of these up. Looks and sounds like a solid speaker!
With the amount of speakers and subs I own, at this point I might as well start a DJ rental service!
Excellent review! Best yet on CZcams! 👍 I’m getting 2!✌️
Thank you. Two of these will definitely sound great
Looks like a good speaker. I still have my floor standing speakers from the 80s along with my full audio rack. Thats all this old guy needs!
Sounds a lot like my dad! He has speakers and equipment from before I was even born and to this day they still sound great!
Get a Bluetooth dongle to hook up your phone with the hifi
Looks like a good party speaker! Never heard of W-King but I see a lot of these smaller online-only brands are definitely making big moves. Its almost silly to buy popular name brand these days. I own a lot of home theater stuff and its the same thing. The smaller small factory brands are making huge moves and offering A LOT more for your money vs the popular home theater brands. They not be as "pretty", but sound wise they are just as good if not better.
Absolutely! These smaller brands really go above and beyond to give you the best bang for your buck. Also much easier for them to deliver more when they dont margins cut by selling brick and mortar retail
can you still use it when charging it from flat battery
Hi Eric, Just bought 2 of these T11's and the advertised battery life of 9 hours @75% volume with LED lights on is actually 1.5 hours LED with lights ON (less than 2 hours with LED lights off). Researched extensively the JBL Partybox 310, and it's battery life expectancy is similar in comparison. Seems to be a misleading spec by many of these manufacturers for these "high powered" speakers about battery life. Best to plan on leaving speakers with a charging cord attached for longer usage duration. Also find a speaker that allows you to use a 110v. charging unit so you'll have a good power source and not having to rely on USB charging. T11 has a great sound. But don't expect anything longer than 2 hours of battery life. Going to consider finding a way to add additional batteries in parallel to increase battery capacity i.e. amp-hours. BTW I did the firmware update from 2.32 to 2.36 on 1 of the speakers and left the other at 2.32 and didn't (couldn't) hear ANY difference... maybe if electronic equipment were connected one might see a difference BUT NOT BY HEARING.
This was the notes sent to me on amazon when I got it: "
"1. Regarding firmware version 2.36, compared with the 2.32 version, the sound is more balanced. on the basis of the 2.32 version, there is a little more mid-range and treble,
In conclusion, this version is more balanced and powerful sound. Of course, the bass is also very sufficient and powerful, suitable for the needs of most people.
2. Regarding firmware version 2.32, this version is more bass-oriented. Compared to the 2.36 version, it has more bass, heavier. suitable for users who prefer super bass."
I upgraded to 2.36 before I even listened to it so I can't comment on the differences. I did see other reviews where they said there were changes so I'm not entirely sure. Another CZcamsr "Allen ross" does frequency measurements before and after updates and has this speaker, so im assuming he likely knew the definite changes to what was done (at least from an equalizer perspective).
I typically listen to mine on 40-50% volume which is still pretty loud. A few hours here and there I usually dont have to charge it till after a week or so. I never did an ongoing listen to test the entire life in one go but I'll have to do that one of these days.
A good way to extend the battery while keeping it portable would be to pick up a portable power station. Something like a 300-700wh battery should be plenty enough to keep 2 of these charged up for several more hours. I did a review on a few VTOMAN units which are some of the best bang for your buck out there, especially when you consider its also a much longer lasting LIFePO4 battery as well
@@EricReviews thanks Eric I will check out your referral on the portable power station. I listened to my speakers at nearly full volume outside on my deck. Like I said, Excellent sound but only 2 hours battery life without the LED lights.
I own an older W-King speaker.. forgot the model but its a little bigger than a JBL Charge. It didn't sound bad at all but I remember it was much cheaper than these speakers you'll get at Best Buy. This T11 looks good but I got way too many speakers already to bother. my wife would kill me if I got another, lol
Just say it was on sale and you just HAD to get it! It was an abolute STEAL of a price. Thats what I do and it seems to make the additional speaker a little less bad, lol
is this with the latest firmware as i believe that is 2.36 version?
Correct, 2.36 which is the 2nd update they've released (Stock was 2.32, then 2.34 and now 2.36). No app control so it all has to be done manually by connecting to your pc and using their application and fw file
Can you use this while the power is plug?
Yes, you can use it by battery or while plugged in
Have owned my T11 for a couple of months now. Purchased a Tribit Stormbox at the same time and compared the two for weeks. T11 sounds unquestionably better so I returned the Stormbox. I think for the price the T11 is one of the most underrated bt speakers on the market. I've owned upto a dozen speakers over the years, including my beloved WKing X10. The T11's sound with the 2.36 update is fabulous and the best I've ever owned.
I own both of those speakers as well but have yet to compare the two in a A/B playback yet. I know off the bat the T11 definitely has better bass while sounding great. I didn't think I'd care for it, but its added microphone / echo feature is a great addition. My kids have been using this speaker almost every other day as a karaoke machine and I can see how it'll become useful when actually being used in a party. Before this speaker I wasn't too familiar with W-King speakers but this one is definitely a great bang for your buck.
I mentioned in another YT post that I wanted to like the Stormbox Blast over the T11 because returning the Stormbox would NOT be free (I bought it directly from Tribit versus Amazon). But after a two weeks of comparing the two and listening to I don't know how many songs, I had to keep the T11. I'm a bass head and the T11 measures up. And if/when you do a comparison, you'll notice that at higher volumes the Stormbox Blast noticeably drops the bass whereas the T11 does not. My biggest gripe with the T11 pertains to the hoops to jump through to update the firmware. I'm knowledgeable with computers so it was not difficult for me (except I had to borrow a USB A cable with 2 male ends). But for those who struggle with IT stuff, they may find doing the update to be a challenge.
@myidisinhim559 Brother do you know how long does the t-11 last at max volume ? That's kind of a deal breaker for me
How long can you use it with a fully charged accu?
I use it on medium volume most of the time and I've gotten about 6-8hrs. Never really timed it bit it lasts pretty long! I use it a few days before it needs to be charged
@@EricReviews Thank you very much for the Info. 😎👍
How about full volume? How long it takes
I have two of the T11 here. I wanted to upgrad from T9 for more and better sound. So far I am unable to play ANY music from USB sticks in stereo. It only plays when 1 speaker is turned off. If both are on, both are silent and do nothing. T9 worked perfect (in stereo, from USB). What is wrong, what am I doing wrong?!?!
Unfortunately playback via usb is not a feature I use. Perhaps try and email their company and hopefully they can help.
Which position would give this speaker a better sound? Horizontal or vertical?
Better sound dispersion when laid horizontal. Other than that, it's pretty similar
Thank you@@EricReviews
@@seekingknowledge2488 No problem
The passive bass radiator would prob work better with the speaker laid on it's side
Wonder how the new wking h10 sounds compared to this
Thats a tough one. I wish their Amazon listing had more specs. It saids "huge subwoofer and mid range", but no specifics on what size these drivers are.
I want to say this one would beat it in the bass department just due to its much larger size, but that one is not only 20w more, but also a naturally aspirated ported speaker. Ported speakers are usually a lot more efficient than these waterproof speakers that use passive radiators instead.
I'm gonna have to pick one up and do a review on it. I had no idea it even existed until your comment, but now im really intrigued, lol
Have u try XDOBO 1981..?
sorry I have not
You said you played this at 60% on the video. If that was the case, at 50 watts, I would have thought you would have blown the sound off of your recording device. I thought this would be a bit more powerful at 50 watts as I would like to put this out on my deck. Guess I need to buy something a bit more powerful. Also, you needed to play different types of music with this - rock, country, heavy metal, etc. to differentiate the sound. Not sold on these types of Bluetooth speaker systems. Like someone else said - I still have my Luskins, 1980 stereo system which would blow the roof off of this and will probably do just that - buy individual units to rig up on the porch at a later date. Thanks for the review.
Hard to judge by a video, but I assure you 60% is enough to hear it throughout your house at a pretty loud volume. This would more than enough for a speaker on your deck. Another great option is the Tribit Stormbox Blast which I use just as much as this one
amzn.to/3r2mHua
Worse case scenario you can just return it as amazon is great with returns.. but unless you live in a mansion, this would be more than enough volume for any deck
@@EricReviews Thanks for the info. Will surely think about it. I’m just wondering how well it plays classical rock - Zepplin, The Who, Rolling Stones - where equipment back at that time did not have crystal clear rifts like today.
I hear a wide variety of music and overall it sounds pretty good with everything to me. It's not going to complete with the volume and dynamics of a larger tower speaker, but for its size and wattage, it's defiantly a solid speaker.
If you get it, get it from amazon and then worse case scenario you can just return it for a full refund if it doesn't meet your needs.@@jogordon1530
in loudness, maybe, but if you want any deep bass at all get a JBL, it's cheaper but whatever, all music i listen to or play has deeper bass than this seems to play
Hard to judge the sound over youtube but in my opinion this comes pretty close at a fraction of the cost. That minor advantage in lower end just doesn't justify the cost for me.
If it was an audiophile speaker, then that might be a different story as ive spent more on high end speakers than id like to admit.. but as a speaker just meant to get loud and party with.. I couldn't do it.
@@EricReviews my Boombox 2 was priced down to about 250 when i got it, i know it's not as loud as a Partybox but as i said i mainly listen to music with deeper bass, which really gets broken by any speaker that doesn't have a deep enough bass response tbh
actually often the JBL's don't even go deep enough but atleast most of the deep bass is present, which is a good thing, but i also firmly believe it's better to buy a single good speaker rather than multiple portable speakers of different sizes etc, so i think it's worth it to spend a bit more on one portable speaker and use that for pmuch everything, well except for close listening if you have good speakers at home
@@BH4x0r Ok yeah at $250 I would've gone with the JBL Boombox 2 as well. For a few hundred more I couldn't justify it, but for only that small difference in price, the Boombox 2 would definitely be the better bang for your buck.
If I want some serious bass, thats which I switch over to my home theater system with 2 15" subs on 4000RMS, but for regular listening at medium to loud volumes, I usually end up using the W-King T11 or the Tribit Stormbox Blast.
@@EricReviews ye at 500 it would probly be smarter to get the Partybox 710 for 50 more
Yep, no usb charge port turned me off from buying this model. IF that port is a 12 volt one, maybe there is a cig plug for that.
with all due respect, this doesnt kill or even scratch the boombox 3.
I'll have to see if I can get my hands on a Boombox 3, but in comparison to a Boombox 2 they were pretty similar! Boombox 2 was definitely better, but not quite 2.5x the price better.
@@EricReviews what exactly is the frequency response of this speaker? how flat is it tuned? how heavy is it? can you link 2 or more?
@@xplanetarymusic You can link 2, not sure about more than that, but I don't think I've ever met anyone that links 3 of the same speaker anyways.
Frequencies seem on par with the Tribit Stormbox Blast but with a tad bit more low end bass and punchiness. For some odd reason the frequency specs aren't posted anywhere online (really strange for a speaker), but based off listening I'm going to say somewhere in the 50-60hz range.
Speaker is roughly 12lbs. Definitely not flat tuned, sound profile is definitely V shaped as its intended to be a loud, "fun" speaker.
Battery life sucks!!!!!
I didn't see a boombox 3 in the video at all. You did no comparison. lol. click bait.
Hi Mac, if you watched the video you would have seen it was discussed. No where in the title or the video did I say it was going to be compared to a Boombox 3.
you must not be able to read. It saids JBL Boombox 3 Killer, not VS JBL BOOMBOX or comparison. go back to school and learn comprehension bro..lol
@@josesantiago7240 Who tf are you? This is from 2 weeks ago. I expected to see some proof from the video of the claim on the thumbnail.
