Hey everyone!
I just wanted to make a quick video about the sound of the new
Bose Soundlink Color bluetooth speaker
compared with two other popular bluetooth speakers:
the Logitech UE Boom
and the Jawbone Jambox.
This isn't going to be a full review and there are a number of things
like water resistance that the Bose unit lacks
compared to the other two speakers.
Now we're going to do three tests
with three different genres of music.
All the speakers are volume matched
at what is a reasonable listening volume in my tiny apartment.
Keep in mind that everything you hear is coming through my
Zoom H2n microphone, it's gone through Youtube compression
and finally it's going through your headphnoes or speakers.
So it's not going to be the same as if you heard these units in person.
But I think the differences are still pretty obvious
And once the tests are done I will give you my comments
on how I think the units compare.
The first test is 'Wake Up' by The Kyoto Connection.
The next test is Airplane Mode by Josh Woodward.
The third test is 'Hachiko (The Faithful Dog)' also by The Kyoto Connection.
So I don't know what you heard, but here's how I would compare the three speakers based on my own listening.
I actually think the Bose is the most natural sounding of the three speakers
and it also has the deepest bass response.
It is cheaper than the UE Boom but doesn't come with water resistance.
The UE Boom still sounds good
but it has a slightly hollow tone in the mids
and the bass is a little lacking.
It does have some cool features like water resistance
and the ability to pair two together for stereo listening.
I don't think the Jambox sounds very good
but it's tiny and you can get it for quite
cheap on Amazon nowadays.
It feels weird to be saying this about a Bose product
but I think it's the best value out of the three speakers!
The UE Boom is still a good choice
if you're going to use it around the pool or in the kitchen a lot.
I would skip the Jambox.
