Harman Kardon go+play 3 vs Tribit Stormbox Blast - outdoor soundtest (Patreon)

The more I listen with the go+play 3 the more I like it, especially now after the hidden EQ discovery. Boosting bass is quite helpful for outdoor use and even works at maximum volume, you can definitely hear a difference to default. Reducing bass can be helpful in smaller rooms to avoid any boominess, but even with reduced bass my wife found it to be too bass heavy. 

After having tried and heard a lot of portable speakers within the recent years, I would even claim that the go+play 3 is one of the best sounding ones overall. It is not extremely loud as you will hear from the video, but it always keeps the coherence at all levels and has an exemplary constant dispersion to the sides as well as a nicely tuned high quality sound with deep controlled bass, natutral mids and smooth airy treble. Due to the tweeter placement to the sides it also manages to give some sense of depth and space to the music, honestly I really like it and would definitely recommend it to anyone interested in some high quality portable speaker not seeking for maximum loudness but simply great high-end kind of sound. I highly doubt that the Devialet Mania despite costing way more albeit being smaller as well, has any chance soundwise. I found the Mania to sound quite weird and colored although bass was definitely impressive especially for the given size. Neither do I think that any B&O speaker could compete against the go+play 3, I already liked the very first go+play with iphone dock as I liked the go+play 2 (or mini or how they called it). But the go+play 3 offers a more natural less colored sound compared to the predecessors with deeper bass and nicer design. Battery doesn't seem to be very big though, so don't expect hours of partymusic at high levels.

I may order a Devialet Mania once my funds will allow it just for the sake of completeness and I am tempted to keep the go+play 3 although I don't really need it as I prefer the Tribit due to the higher possible loudness which may sometimes be helpful especially outdoors.

Please let me know which speaker you would like me to compare it to next. I am wondering how it may sound against the Helsinki...
