Hey man I just wanted to take a second and say great video and great comparisons you did. Thanks for taking the time!

I’ve tried most of the battery powered and the everse 8 but this Everse 12 is a different level to them all. Powerful, wonderful app, great effects and lots of bass 👍🏽

Insanely good video with livetest ourtdoor, great! many thanks for this great effort. I am a DJ and for weddings etc. I use the Everse 12 for outdoor receptions. Later indoors I have a more powerful system on the dancefloor. With Bose and similar speakers with only full-range speakers without separate tweeters, I always miss the clear highs. The Everse 12 sounds neutral in a positive sense and everyone can set it up exactly how it sounds best for them. For me, that's plus 2-3 dB for the treble, which is enough for a beautifully resolved and very detailed sound.

What a great review!! I love your realistic sound test. Also the musicians are so endearing.

This comparison is spot on in almost every way, and very enjoyable to watch. Great contribution to the (busking) community! That said, I own the Everse 8, 12 and Bose S1 Pro (older one), and would never dream of taking the 12 out for busking. The 8 is totally sufficient for that, and superior to the S1 Pro for people like me who value more true-to-life fullness in the lower region as well as balance throughout the range of frequencies. The S1 Pro sounds full and warm and is a great speaker, but it cannot handle a kickdrum stompbox pedal at all. The frequencies just don‘t exist on it. And Bose has a special sound signature on all of their speakers - a sort of scooped curve with some (comb?) filtering in the mids and trebles to trick our ears into thinking everything is represented, when it indeed is not when you know how your acoustic guitar and vocals sound on several other (more balanced) speakers. You‘re absolutely right the Bose is great in a plug-and-play way, but not for every voice, instrument or taste. You get what you get. The Everse 8 is far superior for busking and just about everything else. Now for the 12: Way too big and heavy for busking, but I bought one anyhow, just to be able to push a bit more air outdoors at wedding receptions and garden parties, sometimes also in combination with the Everse 8 (for battery-powered bliss). Being able to control both using the fantastic EV app is a huge bonus, too. I also own (and love) the EV Evolve 30M, which can also be controlled via the same app, so when mains power is available, I could theoretically run all three speakers easily. :-) In closing, I‘d like to add that the Everse 8 is the tonally better of the two sizes, since it‘s more balanced throughout. The 12 has a different tweeter (!), and it really sounds quite a bit brighter (some might even say „harsher“), and needs to be EQ‘d to remove that on some mics and guitar signals. Your video also showed the top end to be a bit overemphasized in some cases, thus overshadowing the lower mids and bass. When properly EQ‘d the 12 can be great, though, but if I had to choose one, I‘d get the 8 any day. And certainly not the Bose S1 Pro unless I needed to save money or don‘t care about lower bass, and am content to live with „pseudo bass“ that doesn‘t extend low.

Very Good Video! I use Bose S 1 Pros for wedding ceremonies here in the USA as a DJ. Great sound and vocals out of the Everse 12. Nice looking down town area there for the performance. Looks like a relaxing area to walk around!

[gabrielsimmy]

Thanks for the chance to try the best busking setup I’ve ever used! I cannot go back anymore 😢

[JdaAdaCdaK]

Awesome video, love the review and a really comprehensive comparison, thank you!!

[Heavieth]

Fantastic video that answered so many questions!

[JamesRonstadt]

Great review! Wondering what it would sound like with a harmonica & backing track🤔 Thanks for posting 🤙🏼

[KerryCourtney]

Thanks for this review! I needed up watching this AFTER I bought this speaker, so it was a nice confirmation that I bought the right one!

[walterlaracy]

great review, watching from Newfoundland Canada

[manavk]

nice, especially appreciate the comparisons in a real-world-use setting

[Спар-шп]

thanks for the review!
p.s. look for your voice and your tones)

[ongpk]

It’s really great video. I have no experience with mixing with the EQ at all, I have one everse 12 but can’t really make the mic and speaker sound better. Do you mind sharing how to setup the mic EQ and speaker EQ?

[VTVT]

Very informative video, thnx. Could you jack in in-ears or a headphone?

[karlpresley]

Hi thanks for the great vids! How would the EV 12 sound against the JBL eon1 mk2?
Can I ask which one would sound better busking, solo singing to Elvis backing tracks.
Which speaker would have the better sound quality in your opinion?
Thanks, regards.

[jlepre]

I have the Everse 8 and now the 12. I love my 8, but I'm struggling to get a balanced sound with the 12. I play with backing tracks and guitar. I am with you that they should have added a channel or 2.

[andreichekaev]

Hello! Thank you for your video. What do you think about KORG Konnect???

[Sergo]

Hello, I wanted to ask again, in your opinion, which electric guitar would be better for a smaller room at home, 2x Everse 8 or 1x Everse 12? Do 2x Everse 8 have enough bass for an electric guitar?? Thank you very much!
Best Regards from Germany.
