This is just a rough cut of my upcoming video with no labels and no insertions/measurements etc. But I am not sure if there isn't already too much hiss due to the stronger high frequency boost necessary.

I'm gutted I missed the Oluv Earfun Free Pros! Small speaker reviews are my favourite!

Oluv if you throw it away, i would like to take it over to add to my speaker collection 😂 or you could do some tests how long it survives when you drop it and let it swim whatever. Would be funny

oluvsgadgets

no, you can of course have it, just tell me where to send it

I am waiting for the Xiaomi speaker now which hopefully will be a better performer.

J

I have send you a message with the details.

Lets hope so, xiaomi is doing great with smartphones these days and they had a few other great speakers, lets hope its some sort of upgraded mi.

Oluv what is the best sub $100 Bluetooth speaker available at the moment in your opinion?

D. Oeltermann

Hahaha…. What a horrible sound- for that price. Love your honest words Oluv! Waste of money. Completely.

oluvsgadgets

There is none without issues with the XB33 being too directional and never sounding right without additional Eq adjustment, the Motion+ on the other hand won’t satisfy real audiophiles as it doesn’t have such a smooth response, the Motion Boom has the same bass issues like the Soundcore Boost… There are many decent ones but none really is the one I would choose as single speaker.

I have the Dostyle SD 806 on your recommendation and have been very happy with it.I was thinking of an upgrade in the same price bracket.

I completely forgot about the Dostyle. Problem I had was that it never sounded the same. Every time I turned it on it managed to either sound great or bad. There was some weird issue which I couldn’t reproduce well, but sometimes it could sound really amazing while other times the frequency response was different, I even managed to measure it once.

I trust in what you say based on that purchase.So I will just wait untill I hear from you on a natural successor.Thanls for your testing and recommendations.

Maybe the denon 250bt? It has known battery discharge issues but the sound is great. Its without flaws. I saw it for 110€ some weeks ago

Hi Oluv Are the other Sony Xb any good like the 30,31,32? I'm on a budget and I can also get them from a second hand dealer.I have injoyed your videos as they aren't about the loudest speaker and moore about the sound that produce .

oluvsgadgets

I still have the 30; needs a bit of EQ adjustment depending on the level you are listening to. 31 and 32 were worse. The 33 is the best so far but still needs adjustment

oluvsgadgets

Yes I would say overall the Denon was better if not one of the best in the category. I compared it against the Dostyle or Kenwood back then and the Denon had a more natural sound. https://youtu.be/BG9oR8mX0Kw

I am thinking around 50% or below volume

It’s a cliche already, but can’t it be a defective unit? 🙈 I noticed a teardown video of it awhile back on YT, and actually thought to myself it’s a solid designed/built speaker. Also the sound sample in the video (even though captured via crappy microphone) had a good hint of bass, unlike yours. Perhaps before throwing into trashcan, remove the front grill and check if the bass speaker even works and if the cabinet is air tight on the unit 😜 Here’s the link to mentioned video, if you’re interested: https://youtu.be/IJCsizD_21w?t=130

My friend also ordered one and got exactly the same crappy sound.

Stanislav Baranec

Ok then, probably the sound sample in the video did a favor of the crappy upper bass sounding much better than in reality 😀 They obviously either overengineered the design (passive radiators cancel out lower bass of the woofer) or completely messed up with the DSP processing. 🤓
