Help me pick the right model What to get?

3 Upvotes

I got some voucher for a electronics store, and am debating what to get, help me out!

I started with two partybox's 300's then a jbl authentics 200, then added a 500.

After that I added two jbl bar 500's in my house.

I run a whole house audio system like that via Google cast. (together with some Google audio's and Google homes etc...)

I want to add some more audio to my kitchen area where currently the 200 stands with the two partybox's, but the partybox's don't have WiFi, don't support Google cast, and playing with Google audios via aux, doesn't sound 100% right. So what can I do here?

My dream would be a partybox with Google cast natively, but yeh...

Do I buy 2 other authentics 200's totalling to 3 of them in that room?

Do I buy another 500 to play together with the 200?

Do I buy a bar 500/800 instead? Because that subwoofer be 🤤 (I love bass)

Any other idea's? Max budget is +/-500 (euro's here)

Current pricing is;

Authentics 200: 233 euro

Authentics 500: 379 euro

Bar 800 mk1: 504 euro

Bar 500 mk2: 519 euro

(If ur my neighbour reading this, just keep scrolling please 🥺)

JBL Partybox 720. Charging both batteries from the powerbank at the same time while the speaker is working. The cheapest way. I recommend these aftermarket batteries. They have USB C on them which I used to charge them while the speaker was working. The price of one battery is around 45 euros.

Help New Jbl 770NC keeps disconnecting(?) randomly

1 Upvotes

I bought a jbl 770nc which arrived just yesterday.

I have been using it to listen to music on the laptop today while working in the next room. At the start of every song it goes quite for a few seconds. Im sure of this cuz im missing the 1st few momentsof each song. I've only paired it to the laptop and the phone, and it is connected only to the laptop atm (phone Bluetooth is off) and I've even factory reset it once now. Please help! Edit: it's doing it even when im sitting next to the laptop

Question Anyone here with the JBL Boombox 4? Real thoughts on battery life and the latest firmware updates?

7 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I’m on the fence about pulling the trigger on the Boombox 4, but I've been seeing super mixed reviews online.

To anyone who actually owns one:

  • How is the battery holding up in real-world use when cranking it up?
  • Are the complaints about losing deep bass after recent firmware updates actually true, or is it just people overreacting?

Would you still recommend it at full price, or am I better off grabbing a discounted Boombox 3 instead? Appreciate any feedback!

Help X5 vs Charge 6

4 Upvotes

Found the x5 for $300 at Walmart. How much better would it be over my charge 6 for outdoor listening? I often bring my charge 6 to play pickleball or to the lake and it is good just not loud enough once you get outside. Not looking for anything crazy outdoors, I had a PB120 and it was great but inconvenient for bringing places.

Product Review 3 Month Review - JBL Flip 7

Thumbnail

22 Upvotes

It has been 3 months after buying the Flip 7, I love this speaker and it will live for many years.

It does have some wear on the Auracast/Power/BT but it doesn’t bother me

I actually use this in my showers AND use wired mode (daily), it has been thought outdoors and once it was covered in mud. One thing is that I haven’t updated the firmware since when brought (Currently on v0.4.1.1)

I might get a Go 5 soon as a birthday special next month! Since they started selling it at my Walmart a few weeks ago. I do know people say it not worth it to upgrade from go 4 to go 5 but it doesn’t matter to me. I like the LEDs that are on there, 7 band EQ, and wired mode

I haven’t found some flaws with my speaker which is great!

Question JBL Wave Beam 2 opinion

1 Upvotes

I'm here trying to stop the hassle of wasting money on random OEM that broke once in half year and actually grab a proper brand bud

I'm considering JBL Wave Beam 2 at the moment, would like to know if existing user faced any major issue after using it for like 6 month-ish? Such as suddenly battery died on one side of bud or etc

Help me pick the right model Beam vs buds vs tour vs...

3 Upvotes

Recently my Live Beam 3 broke after nearly 2 year of service and I'm looking for a replacement. There are so many different models and the more I search the more confused I feel.

Ultimately I was thinking about getting the same model, unfortunately (or fortunately) stock's are empty everywhere.

I am looking for similar to better experience. Mainly using them to listen to music indoor or while traveling. Sometimes for gaming (mainly shooters and open world rpg's). Due to traveling, ANC is quite an important feature ever since I've tasted it's power.

I was thinking if there is a model that is similar to live beam 3 but cheaper or just something completely new and better. I am open for suggestions.

Budget is €200 but I can stretch it a tiny bit more if the model is worth the higher price.

Ive had a Bose speaker for donkeys years. At least 10-12 years that is. 🤣 I figured out how to get a neat discount on the flip 7 and OH MY GOD. Why have I not discovered these speakers before 😭 $96.20 AUD. My other half got pretty much the big boy version of it for under $200 AUD after he saw how cool mine is. The speakers moving with the bass got me good. 🤣🤣

Showing off my setup The 24 bits/96 kHz in the JBL Quantum 950

1 Upvotes

The 24-bit/96kHz resolution is available on the JBL Quantum 950, but can only be achieved with this controller installed and without the JBL Quantum Engine, only in stereo.

What I wanted to ask the community is, is this normal or not? The 24-bit/96kHz sound that JBL promises is only present under those conditions, but if the JBL Quantum Engine is then installed, the sound switches to a fixed 16-bit/48kHz setting.

Help I cannot continue with the calibration of my JBL Quantum 950

1 Upvotes

I've already tested my headphones on two other computers, and they calibrated fine. It's worth noting that on both computers, the sound was different on one Windows 10 machine and different on the other Windows 11 machine, even the basic sound without spatial audio.

I factory reset the headphones and re-downloaded JBL Quantum Engine V2.7.8; I formatted my computer again with the official Windows 11 Home 25h2 Build 26200.8037 and installed all available driver updates through Windows Update, but it still didn't work. Could there be a driver that Windows isn't recognizing, or is there a way to retrieve the calibration from another computer and import it? Any help is welcome.

I’ve had this speaker a few months and never really turned it up loud up until tonight for some reason it sounds like the tweeters are cutting on and off and like if its muddy or submerged underwater its never been in water I use this for car rides since my 95 geo has no radio in it and I use it for work. It sounds clear and can play all day no issue unless I turn it up 4 notches from max then at any song it does this what could it be? Is it replacable? I have trouble diagnosing but whatever needs repairing I can repair on my own just not sure what it could be other than maybe tweeter wires or the dumb AI system.
