Hi everyone. I wanna ask your advice and share some experience about my searching of a portable speaker/sound system:)
I need a portable speaker for traveling (deep forest trips and high mountain climbing, music with me in my backpack). So im searching a sound system that will be able to survive during my actions and will be enough comfortable for using (i mean weight less than 2kg's and form must be something suitable for my backpack). Rugged/waterproof design is well but if not - its ok also. Budget is around 500$.. i wanna find the best quality stuff for a long and happy using.
Few details, requirements:
- it must be a 2.0 channel sound system. No subwoofer please (i will describe my type of music later)
- 8 hours of playtime at least.
- AUX input (i will use only it)
- 6watt + power. No need really high volumes.. but sound quality and balance needed.
My music is fast mental psytrance fully loaded with frequences. I dont need TOO MUCH bass.. dont need overpowered bass.. better less but more quality and better balance with Highs and Mids. And there will be lots of subbass and Highs in the sound.
I prefer clear, detailed and balanced sound. I hate subwoofers on such music coz they makes the bass muddy and get localized very fast. So 2.0 driver sound system is the best choice for me.
Now few words about my experience i already had with such type speakers:
My last try was Grain Audio PWS
I saw many good reviews on it and decided to buy. Now im returning it back.
Pity that i ordered it before there was a review of it on this site.
When i tested it with my music ive got too overpowered muddy bass over other frequences.. Psytrance electronic music was unlistenable on this speaker. I was unsure that "passive bass radiator" will create subwoofer-like effect.. but what ive got was really terrible. After it i affraid to order something without pre-listening and affraifd of all this passive bass radiators :confused:
Philips Fidelio P9WHT
The good. The sound is "big", very loud, balance is ok.
The bad. Phillips makes their own sound signature which can be described as "soft" on all frequences. This is heared in many phillips speakers and is bad coz its not the "real" sound. Dont want to listen to such sound signature everytime in every track. The charge is impossible via USB so i have i risk of getting low battery without opportunitty to charge via travel usb charger.
Philips Shoqbox SB7220
Again same thing with "Phillips" mild sound. Little stereo panorama. Muddy sound.
Creative Airwave HD
"tiny" plastic sound. Not enough detailed and crisp. Sound changing when i just slight move my head left or right.
Sony SRS-BTX300
Simply bad.. dirty sound.. splashing muddy bass. Heavy, glossy, uncomfortable for wearing.
Most of all i like some JBL speakers.. their sound was the best for me.. Its real, detailed and balanced.
but form wasn't. They all like boomboxes for home listening, not travel.
JBL Charge got subwoofer at left and its too small for me.
JBL flim is tiny also.
So, for now i only have alot of compromises which unables me to choose anything.
I really like CES 2014 announced Braven BRV-X speaker which design is simple awesome for my needs.
But i afraid this Passive bass radiator will make same thing i've got with Grain Audio PWS speaker.. and wall charger option without usb charge makes me confused.. But if it 12 hours.. its ok.. just hope it will REALLY survive this 12 hours on middle volume via AUX.. even no bluetooth.
I can see there are many users of portable acoustics here, hope someone can advice me something.. and maybe my experience will be useful for someone too. Big thanks for this website creaters for such detailed and informative fresh reviews.. keep up the good work. Will be great if sonmeone who really tested all this speakers can help solve my confusion!:D
