r/Bluetooth_Speakers

I walked into an electronics shop sometime back and my attention was drawn to a nice-sounding speaker playing in the background, on investigating further, it happened to be the Harman Kardon Onyx Studio 9. Small mono speaker, well placed at a corner, but had room filling pleasurable sound.

I decided I had to take a listen to her bigger sister, the Harman Kardon Go+Play 3. Bro, the bass was something else. I knew the damn thing was playing (it was right in front of me at the shop) but it felt like there was another bigger speaker system hidden somewhere. From that day I added it to my wishlist.

Now 6 months in, it still amazes me with its sound.

JBL / HK

Which has more clarity, bass, mids, treble, highs etc.
I’ve listened to youtube vids but not getting very good idea.

JBL / HK

I cant get these speakers to connect to my turntable

1. They connected fine for years in this exact set up and location.

2. Ive been in a few subreddits and tried basically anything you can think of. So if I dont reply to your comment its cause ive tried it.

3. They both work and connect to other things. Just not eachother

4. Anything to do with resetting the Bluetooth within the devices I have tried. And how it was explained to work is not how it has worked. Buttons not flashing when theyre supposed to and so on

5. Unless I well and truly cannot connect them with Bluetooth. Im not wanting to plug them in manually. Because that would involve alot of moving things around and I do not want to do that at the moment. Because they worked for 2 years exactly how they sit now.

Thank you in advance. Somebody save me please

This is surprisingly good for a free speaker. This was given to me by my cousin, she said it was a free from something she’s bought in milano, italy.

I purchased my JBL Flip 6 almost 6-7 months ago and it was working fine. But from past week I don’t know why if I connect my speaker to my laptop and play music from any application like Apple Music, Spotify & from YT website on Brave Browser, I am not getting sound clearly i.e., audio output is always crackling. But this is not the case when I play music from the same Flip 6 while connecting it with my iPhone. In that case music and all audio is working perfectly. Please help.

Was super skeptical before buying the Marshall Emberton III honestly.

Initially I was comparing:
Bose SoundLink Flex 2,
UE Boom,
JBL stuff,
and even thought maybe Marshall was more style than substance.

My wife was the one who pushed me toward this speaker lol.

First few minutes, I was actually confused because it did not have that exaggerated punchy bass I was expecting from smaller speakers like JBL. I almost felt like something was missing.

Then slowly the magic started happening.

I started noticing vocals first. Like DAMN. The voice clarity on this thing is insane. Then instrument separation, texture, small background details, flute notes, atmospheric layering etc. Songs I had heard 1000 times suddenly started sounding different.

Some tracks that genuinely blew me away:
Dreams by Fleetwood Mac,
Naan Nee,
Vidai Kodu Engal Naade,
Goosebumps intro vocals,
The Life of Ram,
Starboy.

Funny thing is, this speaker kind of changed what I pay attention to in music now. Initially I was chasing punchy bass, but after a few hours with this, I started caring more about warmth, groove, vocal intimacy, layering and detail.

It is not a perfect speaker obviously. If you want aggressive mid bass punch and instant “wow” like JBL style tuning, this may not hit immediately. But if your taste leans atmospheric, textured and musical, this thing grows on you HARD.

Also placement matters WAY more than I expected.

Now I am curious, what speakers/headphones unexpectedly changed your music taste or made you rediscover songs?

Bought this Xiaomi Sound Outdoor, and I’ve seen videos about it and the box has one of the sides in orange, and mine are all white. I live in Argentina, maybe it’s a regional thing but idk.

Hi Guyz, I am looking for a bluetooth speaker with good sound quality, better soundstage, some bass and decent loudness.
Portability and battery life can be compromised.

I love listening to pop, indie, instrumental, hip hop etc.

In terms of initial impressions I really liked spatial sound in x600 and there are some Hi-fi audio functionality.
I’ve seen Marshalls and really like them too, also looks great ngl.
Bose is such a good sound player as well, used earphones a long time back and blown away by them.

I am confused between these speakers and doesn’t seem to pick one.

If you use some other, please recommend them too.

Budget: $200/ ₹20,000
