After listening and comparing them both some more, the soundcore is 100% better when it comes to maintaining its sound throughout all volumes. JBL Xtreme sounds great at 50%, but as you crank the volume higher, the bass quickly starts rolling off and becomes very anemic at 100% volume. Meanwhile, the Soundcore is still thumping at 100%. At higher volumes, it's embarrassing for JBL how much better the Soundcore truly sounds.

Anker sure is becoming a powerhouse of a company these days. From power banks to all this!

damn.. Thats right. I still have my old anker power bank. I used to buy em left and right every time they were on slick deals, lol. Good stuff but now they cost a lot more since they came up in the tech world

This looks solid. I left JBL years ago because in this day and age, they're just overpriced. Back in 2010ish they led the way, but now they're just riding their brand name and not really offering anything of good value. Great review Eric. I'm a speaker head myself so I just ordered one to try it out. Appreciate it as usual!

Me 2 but seconds before I've wathced this review :D 90 USD deal got me buying it blind :) Thankfully now I'm reasurred of my choice! What's more - I have flip 4, partybox 110 and anker motion boom plus, I had Xtreme 3 - I Love JBL sound but X3 dissapointed me so much - it's awkwardly bulky and I thought it would be just in between flip and partybox. It is not and totally not worth the original launching price - maybe 200ish - maybe at this pirce range I'd forgive the sound quality above 70% of volume.

JBL gotta get with the times. They used to be able to charge what they wanted, but now that speakers like this are all over the market, they're just overpriced and underdelivering. If it wasn't for their status of being a popular speaker, I doubt many people would even buy em anymore. Does soundcore sell in stores like best buy? If not, they should definately do so. I'm sure they'll make a killing when people can compare it side by side with a jbl. Great and in depth review Eric!

Technology sure has advanced. Seems crazy that you can spray a speaker with water and it just keeps pushing like nothing is happening. Electricity and water usually dont mix, but here we are, lol. Looks like a good speaker and it sounded like it still had a good amount of bass outdoors as well. How does this stack next to the Tribit Blast or W-King T11?

@EricReviews

29 күн бұрын

It's a solid speaker but the Tribit Blast is in a different league. It's much louder with a much bigger sound, but also a lot bigger and heavier as well. In the end it really just depends on what you're looking for in a speaker.

Another thing, I'm looking at YOU, JBL👀! STEP. IT. UP!

The Xtreme 3 is definitely a let down. good at low volumes, but 50% and up the bass just vanishes. I also own the JBL Charge 3 and that even sounded better to me. Boom 2 definitely blows them both away while somehow managing to be cheaper as well

I bought a soundcore Boom 2 but I have got a defective unit. The woofer makes a metallic noise even at low volume. I am returning it and I am not sure if I should buy the same again or if it is better get a different speaker..

@@EricReviews I have other Soundcore devices and this is the first time I find a problem. I gave it another chance and I ordered a new one. Hopefully this time it will not be defective. The first one, at the beginning was sounding ok. After pushing the volume UP for some deep bass music the music started rattling even at lower volumes. Like if there was no protection against speaker damage.

Soundcore doesn't sound boomy at all in person. It has a built in EQ so it could always be tuned down as much as you'd like as well. JBL sounds good below 50%, but the Soundcore puts it to shame at anything above 50%.
