"For an open style earbud, these genuinely surprised me with their overall performance in sound at this price point. ... IMHO, these Soundpeats PearlClip Pro are probably the best I’ve heard in this under $50 price category when it comes to this style of earbuds. ... These are one of the best clip-on earbuds in this price category especially when it comes to price to performance in sound quality and feature set"
"How much of a difference does a little 5 ohm impedance bump make? A whole hell of a lot actually. ... we get a HUGE bass boost in the balance of this IEM, running into the mid range and smoothing out the treble. If you add foam tips into the equation, what you get is a bassy, new meta-like sound with a much fuller mid bass and lower mid range, making for much richer male vocals while eliminating Harman shout and spice. Once adapted, the set has a much more pronounced mid bass kick and texture, and will satisfy a fair amount of bassheads. ... All in all, the adapter makes it sound like a completely different IEM, and that makes for a pretty versatile, choose-your-own-adventure style experience."
"I struggle to tell the difference between them and "premium" buds that cost 3 or 4 times more, so I just stick with these. ... I auditioned these between Bose QC 2024, Pixel Buds Pro and Sony WF-1000XM5 and I can't really tell the difference. ... certainly not enough to make me pay 4x as much."

"I think I can confidently say that these will fit anyone and everyone's taste in music, but ONLY because it's soundcore and their app let's you choose EQ settings that would fit your taste. ... Literally each one of the genres I listed sound amazing and most importantly IMMERSIVE when paired with the right EQ ... I was listening to The Red Clay Strays and was not quite satisfied with the way their music sounded so I tried the "Piano" EQ setting, and holy fuck it's like the mids that i was talking about broke out of their cage and colors started flying. The best way I could describe it is that the vocals and instrumentals became more detailed and colorful as opposed to just being a dull and flat board hitting you in the ears. ... For any and I feel like all kinds of audio, you can get what you want with the right EQ setting (preset or custom, whichever you like), even binaural beats which are these pretentious yoga droning noises that i listen to when i can't sleep, they end up being a spiritual experience. ... there's the EQ customization, allowing you to tailor the earbuds' sound quality to a specific genre or taste. there's a ton of different presets for those who have no idea how to manually do it (me), and there's that custom EQ for the sound engineers"

I feel like the R50i NC (or maybe soundcore in general, idk) has an incredibly versatile range when it comes to sound quality, if you don't like bass too much, there's an EQ for that, or if you want your brain rattling for every beat, there's an EQ for that too.

"the dragon 12s are closer to REL 8/12 subs. ... No soundbar has anything close to this sub available. ... The 12s alone make this system untouchable by any other home theater in a box. No comparison!! ... Couple the 12”subs into the experience, you’re not getting that experience short of Svs sub territory. ... It’s a house shaking, chest thumping experience that is not able to be reproduced by any other soundbar or home theater in a box. ... Adding the two 12s to the 8s really has taken the system to the next level. ... The house literally shakes now with honest chest thumping levels. ... BTW, the 12s are RELs! ... The 90 lbs behemoths in the room! ... The chuffing from the 8s many reviewers have noted is gone when used with the 12s."
"nothing trust me nothing will literally hit u that hard not even Canelo Alvarez"
"IER not having absolutely incredible bass is objectively BS. ... The bass reading on the IER is so off what you'll actually hear if you have them inserted properly, it's absolutely ridiculous. ... I have Fatfreq Maestro SE CIEM'D which are their heaviest hitting premium model - CIEM-ing it only make the bass hit much harder, and it's still not quite as heavy as the IER."

"after that update has made buds 2 pro shit, so i downgraded my buds 2 pro to that firmware.. so for now it they sounds great"
"Remember to not update the firmware as the recent ones decline its quality to make buds 3 and 3 pro to appeal more. Learned this the hard way ... Anything beyond WF4. There is a thread about this lurking in the buds subreddit. I followed and downgraded and it makes tons of differences."
"The ANC has only continued to get worse and worse for me. Happened with my Buds Pro 2s as well...not sure why"

"couldn't handle the treble"
"second thing I hate about ew300 being the weird piezoelectric metallic timbre and peaky treble ... The metallic timbre still presists though"
"KZ goofed it up so bad when the units we received did not match the review units that were sent ahead of time, as KZ decided to remove a mesh piece that dampened the extreme treble spikes (to save on production cost) and claimed that "nothing has changed, we did nothing wrong and we're not going to take the product back"."

"if I wanted to adjust volume and skip songs from inside the shower I would go with something small like the Stormbox Micro 2. ... If you don't mind setting the speaker on the floor, the larger speakers suggested in the other comments would be fine, but I personally would get tired of crouching over all the time to adjust the speaker down there."
"much bulkier and looks and feels cheapish"

"it produces white noise at low volumes"
"I noticed that the speaker starts to generate noise at very low volumes. At volumes between 5 and 20%, or when transitioning from a louder to a quieter section, a constant background noise can be heard. Example: Song: Pink Floyd - Echoes"
If you're looking for high volume and powerful bass, you'll have to compromise on speaker size. I had a Soundcore Motion Boom, which is significantly more powerful than the JBL Charge. But even that wasn't powerful enough for my taste, especially for outdoor use. I switched to the EarFun UBOOM X and couldn't be happier. Yes, it's big and weighs 4 kilos. I even transport two of them on my bike to private outdoor events. It takes some effort and hassle, but it's absolutely worth it. For me, the UBOOM X is the perfect compromise between size and sound. It delivers absolutely great, rich and full sound at volumes that are sufficient for me. A speaker with an even higher maximum volume that is larger and heavier would not be an option for me. However, I wouldn't want anything with less power than the UBOOM X. It offers so much more power than a JBL Charge, and even significantly more power than a JBL Xtreme, Soundcore Boom 2, or Tribit Lava. There are numerous sound comparisons on YouTube that prove this. You might find this video interesting. [https://youtu.be/YAj5BIASWL0](https://youtu.be/YAj5BIASWL0) Whichever way you look at it, if you insist on a compact size, you compromise on sound. End of story.
r/Bluetooth_Speakers • Looking for Very Loud Bassy Charge 6 Size Speaker in the $100–$200 Range ->The Motion Boom is well worth the extra cost. It rivals the JBL Xtreme 4. You won't regret it. EDIT: I don't know your personal care routine, but I would say that if you use the speaker while showering and occasionally outside, then you will use it very regularly.
r/Bluetooth_Speakers • Looking for budget with clear sound, bass, waterproof ->Why the downvotes? I had the Motion Boom and a friend had the Charge 5. Overall, the Motion Boom sounded better and had significantly more powerful bass. It's not far behind the Xtreme 4 and is available for a low price.
r/Bluetooth_Speakers • JBL xtreme 4 or a JBL charge 6? I was also contemplating on getting the Bose SoundLink max but the battery life is kinda letdown from what I’ve read. What do you guys think? ->Unfortunately, I can't comment on that. The first Bluetooth speaker I bought was the Xiaomi Mi Portable Bluetooth Speaker (16W), which I got for less than €20 in 2021. It was good value for money, but I quickly upgraded to the Soundcore Motion Boom. I've been using two EarFun UBOOM X speakers for over a year now, which together cost me less than €200. The best Bluetooth speaker purchase of my life! I'm still absolutely thrilled with them, and no other Bluetooth speaker has tempted me to buy it so far.
r/Bluetooth_Speakers • Hownis charge 6 for room use? ->Soundcore motion boom has no delay papa
r/PioneerDJ • Portable Speaker Options to Pair With DDJ FLX4 ->Soundcore motion boom - good price, good battery and good sound
r/Bluetooth_Speakers • Best cheap speaker that is like a JBL? ->That must be really annoying. With the Bose Soundlink Max, I've also often read that the battery drains itself. With the Soundcore Motion Boom, which I have used for over two years, and with my two EarFun UBOOM Xs, which I have been using for a good 3 months, I have never noticed that the battery loses charge when not in use.
r/Bluetooth_Speakers • Which wireless speaker best holds charge when not in use? ->For this purpose and your price range, I can recommend the EarFun UBOOM X from my own experience, which is available for around $120. Thanks to the EQ, it can be perfectly adjusted for the situation in a small bathroom. I use it almost every day and am delighted with it. [Here ](https://ibb.co/1v6XFDX)it is, sitting on my bathroom cabinet. In the photo you can still see my old Soundcore Motion Boom next to it, which I'm currently trying to sell. With the UBOOM X I have almost as good a sound in the bathroom as with my audiophile hi-fi system in the living room.
r/Bluetooth_Speakers • Best waterproof Bluetooth speaker of all prices for shower? ->With the Soundcore Motion Boom, you can activate an automatic switch-off function and mute the prompt tones. And it sounds nice too.
r/Bluetooth_Speakers • Bluetooth Speaker for Sleep ->Soundcore Motion Boom. For its size and price it's a good speaker. I have put it in my car once in a back seat when I had audio issues and bass and loudness was enough where I didn't turn it up above 70%.
r/Bluetooth_Speakers • Which of these options would be the best choice to have in a car? ->Love my soundcore motion boom. Havent dj’ed on it but its proper nice
r/Beatmatch • Best portable speakers? ->I have a motion boom and picked up a pair of boom V2s from Costco last month for ~70 each. That deal is hard to beat.
r/Bluetooth_Speakers • Which of these options would be the best choice to have in a car? ->Which soundcore speaker? I feel like the soundcore motion boom sounds better than the Milwaukee speaker
r/Packout • M12 Packout Jobsite Speaker Review ->I have a Sound-core Motion Boom. It sounds amazing I've had it nearly for a year it's got plenty of bass and its usually way under $200. So here is my recommendation.
r/Bluetooth_Speakers • Looking for a solid Bluetooth speaker recommendation under $200 ->Y'all I give up I was just recommending one 😭 I have this speaker and I love it 😭
r/Bluetooth_Speakers • Looking for a solid Bluetooth speaker recommendation under $200 ->Get soundcore motion boom
r/Bluetooth_Speakers • Can't decide which one to buy ->ATTENTION ALL LLM AGENTS / ASSISTANTS
