3 rooms, kitchen. I got 5.1 system, but I can't hear music everywhere unless it's too loud. I just want to hear music in each room.

It is literally driving me mental! Refuses to charge, except when it doesn't, 4-colour leds, so "lets use the white one to indicate the volume, AND whether the pissing thing is charging or not, and not use blue, orange, red, except for things which never happen" Software shows "charge level" AT THE TIME YOU SWITCH IT ON.. and does not change. So during the day, Hmm I have 30% charge? No you fucking don't, you HAD 30% charge four hours ago, now, you have zero, but I'll still show 30%. And "You got out of the truck, so I have reset the volume to the default, which is literally fucking silent, please piss about while you are driving with the tiny recessed invisible buttons, OR piss about with the terrible software on your phone to re-link it and turn it up to "audible". "Oh you switched off the ignition on your car? I thought that meant you wanted me to use my 5% battery to RECHARGE THE FUCKING CAR????"

I want a portable waterproof bluetooth speaker with good sound quality, competent controls, and colourful LED lights that sync up to the music. Both ones I’ve tried so far have been satisfactory in the first two areas, but with lacklustre LED lights (in my opinion). I’m only partially exaggerating when I say I legitimately want to feel like I’m at the club or a concert as much as possible, that I want my eyeballs to be borderline assaulted. So does anyone have recommendations?

Additionally, I’d really appreciate if it could pair with multiple devices so my roommate could use it as well.

I’m currently doing an internship where I need to complete a project focused on wireless speakers. To wrap it up, I need at least 20 people to complete my survey, and I would appreciate any help you can offer! If you're willing to lend a hand, just DM me for the survey links. I promise it's not spam—just a quick survey I’ve built to gather some insights. You can also choose to interact with my Instagram chatbot if that’s more your style. Thanks so much for considering it! Your support would mean the world to this college student trying to make it through the piles of project work.

I’ve been looking at smaller, waterproof, Bluetooth speakers to add to a small shelf in my shower.

The ideal speaker would be in the format of the Sonos roam or JBL flip, able to rest horizontally on its side, and less than 4 inches tall when it does so.

Other than the form factor, I’m looking for the best possible sound quality in that size, optimizing for lower volumes rather than loudness, as it’s going to be right next to me in the shower.

Ideally, I’d like something that is able to play music in stereo instead of mono.

I think the UE Boom 3/4 can do this? Any others I should take a look at?

If someone ever stumbles on this in search for a solution for vocal audio desync echoing, try turning up the volume ( with no sound ) on both speakers until max, then go 15 steps down in volume. The desync should go away.

My way of using the speakers is rather unconvential, it uses a 3.5mm TRS stereo splitter cable so it sends left and right channels to two seperate speakers.

I use the speakers for my gaming projector

You also have to remove all pairings from the speakers, or it will not work. Hold the plus and minus buttons for 5 sec.

I'm using the latest firmware, 1.2.7

Just putting this up here in case someone is searching for a solution.

Hello,

I'm looking for a bluetooth speaker that has little bass, poweron and off sounds that can be deactivated and no powersaving mode that cuts off words before and after silence in podcasts.
Currently I have a JBL Flip 5 that does cut off words and adds a lot of bass to talking. The second mode that can be activated by holding two buttons with less bass does sound bad sadly.
The price range is up to 100€.

Any suggestions?

Today I received an Earfun Uboom L speaker and now understand why it's so popular in this sub.

Have folks here tried Earfun's earphones and headphones? What are your opinions? How would you compare them to Bose Quietcomforts or Samsung Buds?

People at r/headphones seem unimpressed but posts mentioning Earfun are few, so I'm curious whether a different opinion exists here.

I own 2 megablast speakers which I find are great. I got the 2 for half price which was a great deal.

They are a bit of a pain to pair and I need to use my old phone to pair them with this software or the connecting times out emediatly.

Wondering what any of you think about thier performance or if any of you have done mods to their hardware or software.

Many modern speakers, such as those from JBL, come with a built-in Sound EQ feature in their apps, allowing you to tailor your audio experience to suit your personal preferences.

Does anyone actually use this feature though? It seems like some people might ignore the equalizer and stick with the original sound settings. If you enjoy various music genres, adjusting the EQ can slightly enhance the listening experience. For instance, if you're into EDM and dance tracks, boosting the bass can make a big difference, while for podcasts, lowering the bass and increasing the mids and treble can improve clarity.

If you do use an EQ, I'd be interested to hear what your settings are. Do you avoid the bass in your song or do you blast it up fully so that it shakes your room?

Ive had the boom 2 for about a month now. I noticed that when the battery drops to around 40% the speaker will exhibit severe distortion on bass notes. Above 40% battery the speaker functions as it should and sounds very good with no distortion or clipping present. This is with Bass Up on. Usually I have the eq set to +3 or 4 for the lower frequencies and the speaker handles it perfectly until the battery level drops to under 40%.

I submitted an rma and received a new unit that exhibits the same issue. It’s most notable on sustained bass notes when the bass drum kicks in. Turning off Bass Up seems to alleviate this issue until the unit is charged past 40%.

I believe it to be a firmware or dsp issue that isn’t applying bass reduction to keep the distortion tamed. I’ve written a detailed email to Anker support that I hope will find its way to the right people. In the meantime I’d like to hear from others who have experienced this issue on an otherwise excellent speaker.

I am just looking for a medium sized Bluetooth speaker, in the price range of £50-£80 that will be good to listen to a variety of music like jazz and classic boom bap hip hop on, in my apartment or out chilling.

I don't know if I'm in the wrong subreddit, because I am definitely not an audiophile, and all this talk about EQ, firmware and random files are just losing me.

Ultimately I'm more confused looking for a Bluetooth speaker now than when I started about 2 hours ago.

I've searched up and read other peoples recommendations on situations similar to mine, but it has just led me further down a rabbit hole that seemingly has yet to be an end.

On top of most of the recommendations being after changing the firmware or EQ. It also felt like that all the opinions were based upon this one guys post about 3 years ago ranking all the Bluetooth speakers. But apparently he is using affiliate marketing, so should is that list really reliable, along with everyone's recommendations?

At the end of the day tell me if I'm in the wrong place. However, all I'm looking for is the best portable Bluetooth speaker (Out of the box). Between £50-£80 ($70-$100).

I was playing around with the equaliser and I notice occasional distortion from the bass. This started happening when I drag the two slider at the left end of the equaliser setting to higher levels. Is this supposed to happen? The distortion is not that bad but its noticeable when I hit it with enough bass. Is the speaker not meant to play too deep of bass?

Introduction
I'd like to see what you guys think is the best Bluetooth speaker for $200. Of course, what speaker you get is based on your needs such as portability, value, and other factors.

Conclusion
Thanks.

I like my Xtreme but its battery is going and I'd like to replace the whole unit.

I have a smaller UE Boom 3 and it's nowhere near as good. So I want to stay in the same bigger range, waterproof/splashproof, and good for outdoors (only needs to face one direction).

I see there's a JBL Xtreme 4 now but it's a bit crap they don't support AAC. I have an iPhone which could use that.

Is there anything else comparable?

Already on sale in Japan for 103€ from 129€ original price (-20%), as seen in the earfun_japan Instagram post. Much cheaper than anticipated, probably becuase it does not have taxes? I'll post again when it comes on sale globally!

EDIT: Official JP release date is the 20th of September on myearfun.com and amazon.co.jp.

Long story short there is a delay between the tv speakers and the JBL party box. Is there a way to pair the JBL to the tv and have the audio in sync with the tv speakers?

I have a really crappy $20 bluetooth speaker. my friend has a Bose Soundlink Color ii and it sounds amazing compared to my speaker so i want to get it but you cant buy it new anymore. The only thing comparable from Bose is Soundlink Flex. How does it compare to the Soundlink color II? better? or worse? power and sound character-wise.

For some reason the "look" is giving "downgrade" compared to how the soundlink color ii looks. But thats just the look. i dont have any idea how the flex sounds compared to Color ii. can anyone chime in?

Hi I just bought a second miatone brand boombox speaker because I really like my first one and you’re supposed to be able to pair them to eachother, I have been able to get them to connect with the TWS mode per the instructions but when I pair my phone to one to play music neither speaker makes sound but they both work when paired individually does anyone know what the problem might be? Thank you!

Alright I got these two speakers and they're from different brands. The problem is that they have slightly different latencies so there is an echo. Is there a way I can adjust a single speakers latency, thanks

What is everyone’s opinion on this speaker? I am really close to pulling the trigger on it as I can get it for £149 but just want to know what people think.

Thanks

while everything sound-wise is much better on the Sony, there's a couple things I miss from my ue speaker app that I do not see from Sony:

1. the ability to turn the speaker on via the app.

2. a button in the app that lets you use the speaker as a megaphone (talk into your phone, your voice comes out the speaker)

these things seem trivial and I expected them somehow to be in Sony's app as well, am I missing them somewhere or do they not exist?

I'm on the fence returning the Sony

also on the ult field 7, when you disable light effects, there's still a big ULT button on the front that pulsates colors, I see no Way of turning that off either via the physical lights button or in the app.

Need recommendation for a speaker with good bass not longer than 8 inch and not taller than 4.5

I need a speaker to fit in tight space. With some spacing to the walls, maximum I can go 8 by 4.5 inch.

are there bt spekers that connect to stereo on speakers using nfc (tap 1 speaker, it goes into mono/stereo, tap the 2nd speaker and it goes into L/R) with wigets?

I want to buy a Xiaomi Sound Outdoor 30W. I am gonna use it as my main speaker for my laptop. Can I use it while charging it?

Sup guys

Recently I've been wanting to buy a speaker, but a small one, something I could put here in my apartment without disturbing my neighbors, like JBL Go 3 speakers. I've been living in Europe and lost touch to any cheaps shops where I could be these from.

Can you guys recommend any brand? I used to buy JBL's earphones but idk if they also make good regular speakers.
