Hey man , I like your honest and no bs comparisons . You are really good at this. Thanks I am looking into a PA that's good for using my electronic drums with Jams with the band on for reinforcing stage sound So for I think the JBL is most practical. But I'll keep watching your advice. You are a legend.

Hi! Can you expand your opinion between the JBL compact and the Everse 8 sound? I have the JBL and have been very happy with it, especially the bass when used indoors. I’ve been happy with it’s loudness and clarity at higher volumes. I EQ down the bass if I plan on really pushing it and it helps with clipping. I have a feeling other speaker competitors adjust EQ accordingly to manage clipping at high volume, whereas the JBL maintains EQ…for better or for worse. Is the Everse sound enough for an upgrade? Are the reverb/effects worth the upgrade? Thanks and love your channel!

Cheers 👍🏼 I have an upload on its way covering the Everse & Pro+ sound I used my JBL compact for a house barbeque 3 weeks ago. The host had it loud and as you say the bass is boosted. I thought the host had better lower the volume cos the battery won't last. It lasted the barbecue which went on for some time, I was very impressed as was everybody else The Everse is good, the effects are a real bonus but not worth the upgrade.

It’s no better than the main competition with its new App. So what🤷🏻♂️ it needed to have more power, louder, bigger speakers so it’s back at the top. I would have bought it in a heartbeat. Most original S1 pro owners will stay as they are. I can only hope for maybe a bigger brother with more SPL. Now I’ve seen what it is, I’ll forfeit the battery and buy a QSC K.2 . Sorry Bose.

S1 pro has boosted bass when eq flat, the (plus) also has extremely boosted bass, it clearly overpowers all other frequencies. It is noticeable immediately when listening to it. That is why its sound is often described as smooth Bose produce a speaker (s1pro+) that doesn't have great output, yet max output is usually the number one question often asked regarding pa equipment as does good mic output especially for performers. Now... all of a sudden output doesn't matter 😆

As @roadArt132 said wattage means nothing. Wattage is actually power consumption. It’s most probably easier to explain wattage with light bulbs. A 100watt incandescent light bulb emitsabiut 1600 lumens (let’s equate laments with SPL) and a 7 watt LED also emits 1600 lumens. The 7watt LED is load ( bright) as the 100 watt bulb but significantly more efficient. SPL is the metric to use and not wattage.

I think you’re sounding a little bitter. The S1 Pro + is and excellent upgrade over the original S1 and over its competitors. Yea the wireless transmitters are optional but far cheaper that having to by separate transmitters are receivers that would be required for other systems. A modest power improvement, USB-C out to a DAC. As for weight, it’s already very light and any weight will be marginal gains. Expecting kilo is just unrealistic. Then there is Bluetooth, and effects Loop. Also the original S1 Pro and the Plus have a superior sound compared to the competitors. This is a excellent product

I was excited for the S1 Pro Plus hoping it would regain the top spot in a smaller form factor but doesn’t seem to be. Everse all the way for now!

But pro, the size is a very very big deal, all the specs in the world meaningless, if the speaker is bulky, as someone started busking, after a while you will adore speakers that smaller and 7 kilos or less. I use the mackie freeplay live and its powerful even with a higher spl than s1 pro, it weighs a mere 4 kilos, and very very small, with a 3 band eq but none of you guys talk about it, you all just talk whatever uses, or popular ones, the everse 8 great, but I dont know, the size is almost a deal breaker esp for busking......
