"Noble fokus rex5 best sounding change my mind. ... Five drivers per ear bud game changing for sure ... Yes, you're so right. They are by far number one. ... There may be a few airbuds that get better battery a little bit, better ANC but right now my two cents worth, there's nothing on a planet that sounds better than these. ... I have all the heavy hitters. The techniques 80/100 Sony 4 and 5 sennheisers 3 and 4 and the Devialet gemini II. ... Ronontech on YouTube did a review on the Aviot a few days ago. I belive he liked the Nobels better. ... Also on YouTube, check out Flossie Carter review on the Nobles, he went absolutely nuts. Best sounding wireless earbuds he has ever heard."
"As for gaming I'd probably rank them 1. A50 ... As for music I'd rank them 1. A50 ... And for movies I would rank them 1. A50."
"these fifth generation A50s sound better than anything I’ve ever used. ... New DAC, new Graphene drivers, really nice sounding."

"If you want portable that you can take outdoors and get wet, check out the Bose Soundlink Max and Soundlink Flex. I have the flex and take it paddleboarding and camping and love it! Bonus: it floats!"
"they are by far the loudest small size speakers"
"The 4 sounds phenomenal given it's size - if I put it next to my hifi speakers you wouldn't realise that the sound was coming from that little cylinder rather than the hifi"

"The bass is amazing. ... This definitely hits lower than the JBL, Harmon, and anything else in its class. ... And it gets quite loud without distortion. ... For it's size and form factor it is absolutely incredible. ... The woofer technology is insane though. Imagine a tiny home subwoofer with that technology in it. Or a medium sized one. They can revolutionize the industry."
"The sound quality of the Brane X speaker is amazing, especially the bass. ... I was blown away by how loud and low the speaker could go without distorting. ... It sounds like a much bigger speaker than it actually is. ... I listened to different genres of music, but I especially enjoyed EDM and hip hop, which showcased the bass capabilities of the speaker. ... It ’s not going to blow your hair back like festival subs, but it has the same satisfying thump and rumble you ’d expect from a decent OEM car audio system with subwoofer or 2.1 powered desktop setup. ... It ’s seriously impressive bass that continued to surprise me."

"battery life has been EXTREMELY disappointing for me. Not disappointing, but EXTREMELY disappointing. ... Huawey claims 4 day on a regular use. Ive seen a few youtubers claiming 5 day usage (on normal mode. Not battery saving mode). ... I have always on DISABLED, autobrightness, im not using the gps, i dont receive that many notifications and im not using a particularly demanding watchface. Im only getting TWO days usage between charges, which is the same i was getting on my Galaxy watch, which is 7 years old, and has a fully-fledged OS and app store."
"The Soundcore VR P10 I had would always die during my longer sessions. ... I think the P10s were rated for 5 hours but would almost never reach 5 hours."
"Galaxy buds All last 2-6 months before something goes wrong"

"The highs come alive at much higher volumes but the speaker is quite loud at that point and won't work for regular listening."
"The mids and highs are subdued in comparison. ... They sound fine just seems they need more gain or power at lower volumes, even with the highs on eq cranked up."
"Highs are slightly lacking at lower volume levels"

"The omission of USB type C for charging is disappointing, as the included charger is very bulky, like an old HP laptop charger."

"One thing that disappointed me was that the speaker could only be paired with one wifi network. ... When I took the speaker to my parents' house, I could not set it up on their network without unpairing my network."
"Setup was a bit difficult. ... Walking through the app, it struggled to connect the speaker to my wi-fi. ... After the 5th try, it finally worked. I don’t know why it failed on the first 4 attempts yet worked on the 5th."

"The Brane X had AWESOME deep bass, however there was noticeable kickdrum distortion. ... Treble was noticeably veiled & would distort as well with certain songs. ... EQ adjustments did not help. ... The Brane team said this was normal, so I decided to send it back."
"if you use the speaker ’s physical volume button to turn the volume all the way down to mute while having a custom EQ, then turn it back up it seems the EQ changes to one of the built-in presets."
2020Homebuyer 1.0Co-sign on this, no competition when it comes to the bass performance and for the price.
alan_ross_reviews 1.0its not a party speaker and does have a balanced sound imho. in what way is it not balanced? its upper bass boost? pretty much standard for these bluetooth speakers and overall a very balanced speaker.
deepest for the size. others certainly go louder. nothing in the size goes as deep at same loudness levels.
Baboon626 1.0I got a Brane X not too long ago and it’s still pretty portable. Not the smallest speaker of course but it’s gonna have the best bass response in that size category. I was looking for something that packed some bass but was smaller than a JBL boombox 3 with similar bass response and it matches it or might even reach lower if I’m not mistaken based on graphs. I’m happy with it.
BoatmanJohnson 1.0I just bought the brane x. Went back to the store the next day and bought a second one.
Is the minirig idea to add a subwoofer to the brane? lol I can not imagine adding more bass to the brane. It does not need an extra sub. It’s good as is.
I think it’s the Brane X. I went to their showroom in Austin the other week and they have a great listening room with a number of other comparable speakers. I bought the Brane X on the spot. Two days later I went back and bought a second. Now I’m inexplicably wanting to go back and buy a third.
Yes I run my two in stereo and it’s perfect. Super easy. Sounds better than any Bluetooth speaker I have personally heard.
I am super happy with my Brane X (I bought one and then immediately bought a second)
Two Brane X’s. Best speaker purchase I’ve made for sure.
Zero regrets. They fit my needs perfectly.
carinishead 1.0I listed to all 3 side by side and the Brane blew the others out of the water IMO
Cybercycle66 1.0I checked it out closely and Wow. I'd agree with you; Brane is Very High Quality
DaveCarr_SG 1.0Hard to beat the Brane X for bass! The JBL Boombox 3 also pushes plenty of low-end. Otherwise, some budget-friendly options with a good amount of bass are the Tribit StromBox Blast or Lava, and the Soundcore Boom 2 or Boom 2 Pro, depending on how big or small you want your speaker to be.
Dazzling_Ad_9471 1.0You can sometimes find the Harman Kardon Go+Play 3 for 250. I had one till it was stolen. I loved it. Otherwise Brane-X from Brane Audio is my #1 choice.
Desperate_Stay_5899 1.0720 and authentic 500 are good all round, nice mids and clear highs, obviously 720 has crazy bass but it somewhat sounds nuteral unlike brane x which is all about bass. it doesnt sound good its just for bass.
dr150 1.0Dude, I'm with you. I was at Costco the other day and played it. Wow, it sounded good! Total steal for $79! And I'm a guy that owns the best of the best in such Bluetooth speakers and tried dozens of the highest rated. I also picked up great speakers at Target as well, such as the Wonderboom 4 for $29, Marshall Acton 3 for $170. I also saw the Extreme 4 on supersale but I already knew that speaker blowed, LOL. I just bought a Brane X during Prime Days to try out. It's going to take a lot to scooch over my HK GP3s in stereo ($83/each during Black Friday)... 🤷♂️
