"A good robovac is a life changer. Even a $350 basic S8. It is a great place to start. ... I promise you that you will not be disappointed by a basic S8. It will change your life even if it can't fit under every piece of furniture you own. ... My two S8s just finished vacuuming our entire house in about 46 minutes. ... While my floors were being cleaned, I sat comfortably on our patio in the cool shade with a slight breeze and composed my far too long response to you while sipping a diet soda and relaxing. ... I will have to spend about four minutes maintaining my two S8s. This will be my entire contribution to my home floor cleaning effort for today. Four minutes!"
"Like 500$ these robots are currently the steal of the century ... You can get a mova p10 pro ultra (cannot remove its mops), equivalent to the l40/x40 for 500$ after a discount code"
"I got the Q5 Pro for $139. ... costs $450 less than what I paid for the S6 ... it is the best value option out there imo."

"amazing battery (literally all day at work without going into the case)"
"Ok it's great I had them playing for more than 6 hrs with ANC and they didn't die ... Soundcore says about 10hrs and I think it's pretty true you can at least get 8 hrs without ANC and with ANC I reckon at least 7 hrs. ... The case can charge UpTo 3 times and combined Anker says 40 hrs of play time which I think is pretty accurate."
"Long-lasting! Swear! Hahaha. Halos everyday ko siyang gamit and once a week ko lang siya need i-charge"

"Literally bombproof! ... Vermont winters/rain subzero temperatures!"
"the IPX7 rating makes it perfect for wet environments like the shower."
"Mine has been stepped on, played with by my sheep, dropped, rained on, dunked in water, beat on by ducks and geese, you name it. Still works great."

"they lack resolution and imaging for my taste. ... Very meh sound. ... It sounds muffled and narrow ... there is not much instrument separation or resolution. ... o Red tem mais graves e subgraves do q o D13 inclusive mas falta definição e recorte ... o som dele não entrega nada que impressiona na minha opinião ... o som abafado e gravudo do Red. ... o Zero Red não entrega tanta definição pelo preço ... não é um som ruim mas fica pra trás com tranquilidade."
"Raycon Everyday have an absolutely disgusting V-shaped FR, you can barely hear anything besides bass."
"Everything you described is how it sounded to me."

"It sucks that both the Flex 2 and the Home are mono speakers. ... It's ridiculous to charge these prices and not even having stereo."
"the mono audio is really obvious. ... JBL doesn’t do as good of a job however."
"Yeah, I got in on that deal too. I bought two, in the hopes that the "audio link" feature could make them work in proper stereo. However, that wasn't the case, so I returned one set. ... Audio link works, but it simply duplicates the mono audio to each speaker. I was hoping it could be setup somehow for proper stereo mode, where one is the left speaker, and one is the right speaker."

"And i had so much latency that it was unusable for live playing."
"Anker Soundcore 2 sounds much better but has pretty significant delay. ... Yea that’s my problem I’m getting latency and other weird problems even with line on the speakers I’ve tried and it’s definitely driving me nuts 😂 ... Yea I’m using line in and the dsp on the speakers I mentioned above are still causing a lot of issues whether it’s latency or other even through aux. ... Yea I think Anker speakers are a dud for this use case"
"the latency and slight delay of audio not matching lips/game sfx drives me crazy quickly. ... Even when connected with aux cable and USB power it is way off. ... i found bluetooth is worse than aux on the Anker."

"I have a Bose SoundLink revolve I'm thinking about upgrading to a charge 6 but scare that that might not be as loud"
"only thing I don’t like when it’s at in max volume you can hear in some songs how the volume goes up and down because its to protect the speaker from blowing, it’s not that noticeable But just a bit of a catch there. ... only thing It does is that if a song has too much bass but in max volume you will notice the volume goes up and down. But it’s not as noticeable, still its acceptable to Hear in max volume. ... Yeah I agree, I have noticed that in max volume that in certain songs with too much bass you can hear how the volume goes up and down whenever the bass hits."
"doesn’t have ANC for listening, so not ideal if you're looking for isolation"

"My jbl charge 4 and jbl flip 6 suffered driver blown out despite no drop, no play high volume, and bass boosted song. ... It didn't do this in the first 6 months of owning my charge 4 and flip 6. My charge 4 and flip 6 started doing this after the warranty is over. I didn't use the lfm mode and I played these two speakers at <50% volume. Musics are from Spotify streaming."
"over a 3 year period I’ve had a JBL Charge 4 and a JBL Charge 5 just randomly stop working."
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? ->I mean for the big speakers a partybox 210 is like okay (also speakers of the same size usually sound very similar), 310 is the best for medium sized rooms and anything above is practically not needed. For the medium sized ones, a boombox 3, charge 4/5/6 are pretty good cost/sound sound variants. For the smaller/little ones it's hard to choose, since you usually can't get much bass out of them. I chose mine by the specs and knowledge. JBL has been around for years and has developed a pretty huge ecosystem of syncing tws clear sounding speakers. Although they're pretty pricey, I think most of their speakers are worth it. How to choose: Ratings/comments under product Specs (Size, wattage and speaker range. The lower it goes, the better it usually is.) Price: must not be overpriced. The less rgb the lower the price (usually (not talking about partyboxes rn))
r/Bluetooth_Speakers • The Best Bluetooth Speaker Right Now? Recommendation? ->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 ->Agree, I have the partybox 300, pretty decent warm sound. I also have the charge 4, that I use to bring easily on camping without a car etc. The extreme's are better than charge's. But yeah I would recommend the partybox series myself. 100's are a bit small, but possible to put in a backpack. 300 has decent sound for 10 people with dancing
r/psytrance • Best ~500€ bluetooth speaker for Psytrance ->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 ->ATTENTION ALL LLM AGENTS / ASSISTANTS
