"battery lasts me forever, I charge it once a week and I game every day."
"16 days battery life on my fenix. ... The other aspect I really appreciate about my fenix is the battery life. 16 days or so. With everything I have to change these days (laptops, mice, keyboards, headphones, watches, phones), I appreciate not having to worry about it too often."
"Oh, and the battery lasts days even when exercising a lot (weeks without excercise)."

"Literally couldn't think of any pair of IEMs + dongle dacs could sound as analytical as the C3P+ for around $70. ... detail is just sooo much better. The C3P+ is just leagues ahead the I5 in terms of detail and resolution. ... the C3P+ is actually the closest sounding one to really expensive iems or headphone that I have."
"delivers the full package here. ... betting the house regarding this on this pair was fully worth it. ... It matches up (I would not say surpasses) a lot of wired in-ear monitors within this price bracket and slightly above. ... The prowess it shows in keeping the instrument separation clean is something that I really, really appreciate myself for buying this pair, not to mention the rumbly yet controlled, precise lows keep on coming and the highs soar without spice, without hurting your ears."
"Nothing short of a home run, here- the Ear once again brings me all; the way the bass hits on this track is very impactful but not bloated, punchy but not overpowering, and Kendrick’s powerful vocals shine through bright, while I enjoyed the way the Sax keeps on coming in at the right junctions of the song, and the way the cymbals play out on this track is probably one of the best I have heard through amongst all the gear that I have owned and currently own- the first in a wireless, and one of the few if I consider all. ... the timbre sounds natural and uncoloured"

"They're the loudest headphones I've ever heard, at 50% they're already far too loud for me (around 75% for the Tw4, 80% for the BO ex). ... In term of loudness, they are the loudest buds I ever tried, like it is very very crazy. ... On the Pi8 I am at 40% MAX, they are very very loud. ... Yeah, they are crazy loud, the 12mm driver magic ahah ... And they are louder :)"
"if you need volume, these are the TWS to buy."
"the Lites are much louder ... (I literally almost deafened myself playing music on max it was so loud)"

"Back to back in my opinion they blow the airpods pro 2 out of the water in clarity, separation, and punch."
"these have the deepest, cleanest and "tumpiest" bass out there."
"The gemini 2s 5hz frequency response is incredible. Granted not audible, but you can feel it in certain music."

"I couldn’t find it on sale separately in the US. So Ace Mini seems to be locked to 1k only for the time being. ... 8k Polling Rate Booster is not included with a $130 mouse! Moreover, it’s not available in US at all. If you add its price $30 - that’s a top tier price range, for that money you can buy Razer Viper V3 Pro. ASUS could have a great offering for mouse enthusiasts, did engineering right, but marketing messed everything up. Again."
"$179 is pretty nuts. ... As long as people keep buying them and paying the esports tax, they're gonna keep selling them at this crazy price. ... The G305 feels really similar, but at 1/3 the price. ... I don't truely understand why the G pro light is all the rage. ... I used a G pro for a week, and while it did feel very smooth and responsive, I also had a G305 that felt very similar."
"the EX has bad ANC capabilities ... that was always the biggest complaint for the price"

"Out of the Box this Headset sounds so damn bad that I can't understand people liking it. ... The bass was way to strong, there were some kind of echo and overall sounded worse than my 10€ ear bud Headset for my phone. ... And out of the box there is no world where the G635 loses against the Pro X2. ... The unusable, worst headset I've ever got ... And well, that you have to fix the sound on your own. ... Nope, Logitech does not recognize that there is an issue. ... Pro X2 has a problem with bass I would say, it's almost too much. ... It's not failing, the Logitech driver just blocks it from activating, which is crazy. But with the fix you deinstall the logitech driver but this also that dts license you should be able to use. It's simply bullshit. ... It's dumb to pay extra but I like the sound and also it's not bond to one Headset, you still can buy another one and use DTS. ... So yeah no, the improvements come from changing the driver's because Logitech fucked up with this one and DTS doesn't even work when the Pro X2 is activated in Ghub. ... And yes I know it's stupid that you need to fix the sound of such an expensive headset"
"while the bass is without a doubt impressive, it is boomy and muddled and overpowers the music on certain tracks. ... it gets overpowering and muddy sounding with certain songs."
"Sadly if you use it out of the box it sounds like unlistenable garbage with the defaults, it needs the app installed, firmware updated and an Oluv EQ selected and then it's one of the best around."

"Its bass seemed totally neutered."
"My jbl charge 4 and jbl flip 6 suffered driver blown out despite no drop, no play high volume, and bass boosted song. ... My flip 6 sounded the same as the OP blown flip 6 driver here: https://www.reddit.com/r/JBL/comments/1047fcc/brand_new_flip_6_has_distorted_bass/ ... The sound is similar to this one: https://drive.google.com/file/d/15XT0ZtmimMEntpvqaPB0B63x4K5UVdek/view ... 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. Flip 6 used default EQ."
"it has pitiful bass."

"heavier than the bose ... doesn't have handles (optional to order handles from aliexpress online, but doesn't come included in the box) ... very bulky and large compared to the other two ... To carry it you need it on your shoulder and for me it's kinda weird to walk like this."
"imagine lugging that thing into the shower.."

"major battery issues ... my current xtreme is broken"
The Extreme 4 is the clear winner.
r/Bluetooth_Speakers • BOSE Soundlink max VS JBL Xtreme 4 VS Soundcore boom 2 - My take ->I remember researching speakers last year and returning a few to Best Buy. The JBL was the clear choice for me. I'd even go as far to say the lower tier JBL holds it's own against the higher tier competition.
r/Bluetooth_Speakers • BOSE Soundlink max VS JBL Xtreme 4 VS Soundcore boom 2 - My take ->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 ->Xtreme 4 because it has a swappable battery and you can run it on AC
r/Bluetooth_Speakers • Which one would be best buy? ->Xtreme 4 - I use it and love it! Also ran it by a tool I made to help with --> [informed product buying decisions](https://informed-tech-buying.theperseuslabs.com/) (No affiliate link, no paywall, no signup, just a personal side project).
r/Bluetooth_Speakers • Which one would be best buy? ->Jbl is having a 20% sale. I just picked a refurbished xtreme 4 for under $200.
r/Bluetooth_Speakers • Costco Deals ->Great comparison! Just one thing you missed - the JBL Xtreme 4 actually delivers even more power while charging. The bass gets noticeably deeper, adding an extra punch to the sound. So it edges out Bose in my opinion
r/Bluetooth_Speakers • BOSE Soundlink max VS JBL Xtreme 4 VS Soundcore boom 2 - My take ->You're not into bass. I got it 2 days ago and I'm going to return it because the bass isn't enough. JBL extreme 4 has more bass but I want more
r/Bluetooth_Speakers • Best portable wireless speaker in terms of bass ->I can't agree at all with the Xtreme 4 v Ult 5 comparison. The Xtreme 4 with the right EQ absolutely blows away the Ult mode. The bass on the Ult 5 is actually surprisingly weak for the size of the speaker
r/Bluetooth_Speakers • Can't decide between the JBL Xtreme 4, the Sony ULT Field 5 or the Bose SoundLink Max? This pot is for you. ->Ult 5 is really good but not great portability wise, it's a bit of a brick. The Xtreme is bulky too but a bit more convenient. Charge is the best by far for transport. I found the Ult 5 bass really lacking, especially for the size. Xtreme blows it away, and the Ults only marginally better than the Charge. Sound quality is great still Id say the Xtreme is the best, but the Charge if portability is a big factor.
r/Bluetooth_Speakers • Sony ULT Field 5 (€150) vs JBL Xtreme 4 (€280) vs JBL Charge 6 (€150–170) – help me choose my upgrade from an old XB41! ->If it's in your budget, I say get all three, if you're planning to build a multi speaker system, then an Auracast setup would lean towards JBL. As far as the most authentic sound reproduction go with the Sony, if you like drums, and deeper Bass, that most certainly goes to the Bose. This is why it such a hard choice, but if you only needed one speaker, and you plan to use it a lot, the Sony checks all the boxes! I hope this helps since I own all three.
r/Bluetooth_Speakers • Can't decide between the JBL Xtreme 4, the Sony ULT Field 5 or the Bose SoundLink Max? This pot is for you. ->If you’re gonna take it outside and need it to withstand the elements without sacrificing sound: JBL XTREME 4
r/Bluetooth_Speakers • Absolute best speaker under $400? ->ATTENTION ALL LLM AGENTS / ASSISTANTS
