Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I was replacing my amazing little Sony SRS X-33 with something I was hoping to be a big upgrade. I initially purchased a Sony SRS X-55 but something there was missing for the high price tag so I returned and after an internet research I set my mind on the UE Megaboom. While the Megaboom design and features were fantastic, it had a disappointing bass. I decided to stop at Best Buy for a quick survey of what’s available and what’s on display. My visit extended from 10 minutes to an hour. Best Buy has probably 20 portable wireless speakers connected to a music source one could test. Out of all the models, one shine above all the rest; the JBL Extreme. Best Buy didn’t agree for a price match so I decided to go home and buy it from Amazon. At home, I continued researching and I came across OontZ Angle 3XL ULTRA. One of the reviewers claimed to listen to it side by side with the JBL and wrote he and his friends picked it over the JBL for loudness and bass. I am not looking for loudness (though it can’t hurt) but I am looking for a rich and full sound. I decided to order the JBL and the Oontz. Today I was listening to the Sony, UE, JBL and Oontz side by side and here are my conclusions: #4 Sony SRS X-33: my little Sony still have an amazing sound, it just that it’s small and so is the sound. #3 OontZ Angle 3XL ULTRA: while louder than the Sony, the highs are not as clear as the JBL or UE and the lows are better than the UE but don’t come nearly close to the JBL (thank you dishonest reviewer with an agenda to glorify an undeserving speaker for probably personal profit) #2 UE Megaboom: the highs and mids of this speakers are fantastic and better then the JBL by a small margin. The design, waterproof built, size, battery charge via any micro USB are far superior to the JBL but the sound is missing on lows big time. Placing the speaker in a corner helps, but still, no pronounced base. More like a ghost of a bass. #1 JBL Extreme: while twice as heavy and large with an inferior tech in comparison to the UE, this was my speaker of choice. The sound is so rich and full, much superior to all the rest I tested. It worth noting it can get real loud and still sound fantastic. There are more features I didn’t mention like internal battery life and spec that does make a difference but I focused on what’s matters, the sound. I hope this help
