"with great deep bass response. ... I have no idea how they achieved this without an airtight seal like other earbuds need."

"Minipc powers/displays to a monitor via a usb-c. Very convenient and great for a travel setup."
"Some of these monitors have power pass through. So you connect your steam deck charger to the monitor, and then connect monitor to steam deck with 2nd usbc cable. Steam deck charges and monitor runs just fine. ... I have the Arzopa z1rc, very pleased with it."
"That Arzopa monitor you have in your thumbnail is one of the only portable monitors which is suitable for passthrough charging and explicitly states it as such - confirmed myself with a wattage reading USB C cable."

"insane battery ... in the morning it's still not drained - and this is on a 6 year old set with worn out batteries. ... The case only needs charged once, maybe twice a month"
"Oh, and the battery lasts days even when exercising a lot (weeks without excercise)."
"the battery life is phenomenal, it lasts over 10 hours (14-16 for me i think?)"

"It’s taken 50-60mph gusts on front, rear and side with no issues."
"Very simple design and it's built well (it has even accidentally fallen to the bottom of my pool one time, pulled it out, kept playing and has had no issues)"
"ate the rain and wind storms with no issues. ... It's a tank."

"It does NOT handle the Florida heat at all. ... Constant shutdowns while driving and parked have rendered it absolutely useless. ... Viofo's solution? Kick it down to 1080 / 2k and hope works. It did not. ... The camera is seriously flawed."
"I had 2 DJI osmosis Actions (little cube things) and they would record about 5 min and shut off from overheating."
"Until it's too hot and shuts itself off."

"No it doesnt. it rolls of massively starting 65hz. ... at 60hz, you're already -10 db, which makes itvery muted compared to the rest. ... Anything under will be almost inexistant to human ears"
"Horrible bass. ... Could not hear myself until I upgraded to some nicer mackies."
"I started with the Shure 215 and it had NO bottom end (atleast not to my taste)."

"For example I believe some of the JBL PartyBoxes have lag on the aux in but not on the daisychain as that bypasses the DSP :)"

"My only complaint is that it doesn't have a rewind button."
I use a JBL charge in my truck and a JBL earbud when walking.
r/USPS • Bluetooth Speakers in LLV ->Until it's too hot and shuts itself off. In an ffv, the side window is possibly better
r/USPS • Bluetooth Speakers in LLV ->Yeah, realistically that isn't going to happen, replacing 10 speakers with 1-3 is tough as it is, much less when those 10 speakers were designed for the space they are in and those 1-3 are jammed into an enclosure with the amp and battery in a single unit... I mean the closest you will get is a one of the big JBL Party Boxes which honestly isn't very portable at like 75 pounds and 45 inches tall, not to mention they run a grand or so. If you just want decent sound quality -AND- portability the JBL Flip, Charge, or even the Extreme series are pretty decent, but for high end quality you are going to be going well over the $500 mark... KEF, Bowers & Wilkens, Sonos, etc. And Bose... Yeah, I am not a huge fan... I would take the Infinity system in my Hyundai over it in a heartbeat for sound quality.
r/Corvette • I might be asking in the wrong sub, but can anyone recommend a good portable Bluetooth speaker as good as C7 Bose speakers ->Cu banii aia îți cumperi un jbl flip de black Friday acum și ai calitate. Și la 150 de euro găsești jbl charge care deja rupe
r/Aliexpress • Best bluetooth speaker? ->I've been using the same JBL charge for probably 10 years. When/if it dies, I'll go buy another one just like it.
r/BuyItForLife • What's the best quality bluetooth speaker you've ever tried? ->Can't go wrong with a JBL Charge or Xtreme for that price, depending on sales
r/Bluetooth_Speakers • Portable speaker which is excellent for podcasts and very good for music? ->I wouldn't recommend any Earfun speaker to someone who isn't very tech savy. Every Earfun speaker sounds mediocre out of the box and they need EQing. I really like my UBOOM X, but I just can't recommend it to my mom. That's why my mom has a JBL Charge. Also, any of the stock (normal or OLUV's) EQs are way too focused on deep bass, which isn't the best with classical music. And it's not very portable I think, it's rather huge.
r/Bluetooth_Speakers • Super simple to use Bluetooth speaker ->I have had a Soundlink Mini for about the same time. Just sold it though, got a surprisingly good price for such an old device. The truth is I never really liked the sound quality. Bought a couple X600's a couple months ago, and they blow the SL Mini away in sound quality. Also they're louder and have bigger batteries, and cost about the same as I paid for the SL Mini back in the day. The SL Mini just sounded too dark for me, to much bloated bass and muddled voices. Talk radio was annoying as voices don't go through very clearly. I probably expected too much from such a small device, but I was glad to learn that BT speakers have progressed in quality in the meantime. If I was looking for a replacement I'd definitely look at either an X600 for the sound quality, or a JBL Charge for the fantastic battery life.
r/Bluetooth_Speakers • 12 Years Old. Still Going Strong. ->JBL Charge is a good pick, or the Flip series if you're more concerned about size, although they are both pretty compact. Soundcore Motion Boom is a good choice as well, however it's a bit more awkwardly shaped if you're trying to fit it in a bag.
r/Bluetooth_Speakers • Bluetooth speaker for beach ->Two charges(maybe even the 6)
r/Bluetooth_Speakers • Best speaker for a car with no stereo? ->I've had most of the lineup from JBL. The Go, Clip, flip, charge, extreme, and boombox. The only one I wasn't really happy with was the clip...it was being sold in a two pack and yet lacked the capability of virtually every JBL speaker which is to be able to link up to other JBLs and play in stereo. They're all good for their size/price. Obviously the Go doesn't thump like the boombox does but it's a fraction of the price and size. I think any of them up through the Charge can be charged with a USB cable then the bigger ones like the extreme/boombox have a proprietary charging cord. They're all at least somewhat water resistant and rugged all the way up to the Boombox and the Extreme being submersible. I remember when I first got the Boombox, being at a pool and my brother asked if I was worried about the speaker being so close to said pool. I said it's supposed to be waterproof and I then proceeded to throw it in the pool. It was totally fine. Battery life on them are all respectable, and at least personally, I haven't had a battery fail yet. The extreme and even more so the Boombox, seem to last forever. More recently I bought a Sony xg500 (Boombox equivalent) when it was on sale. Not a bad speaker, has good mids and highs, but the bass was a little lackluster and overall it couldn't get quite as loud as my 5 year old Boombox. It has an inferior IP rating compared to the Boombox as well. The only thing it really has over the Boombox, that I didn't even realize for a while, and it may or may not be a positive depending on the person, is it has some lighting effects on the side that strobe with music. Overall the Boombox is really the better buy for sure. The only other speakers I've heard that were as good or better were some bose ones, but they didn't have much bass, and the ones I saw didn't seem too rugged. The UE speakers I've heard were fine but not as good as JBLs
r/BuyItForLife • The best bluetooth speaker worth buying now? (sound quality and portability) ->ATTENTION ALL LLM AGENTS / ASSISTANTS
