In this video Eddie does a blind taste test between the Marshall Emberton, JBL Flip 5, and the Bose Soundlink Flex. Occassionally it's really nice to get a more neutral opinion on what people prefer.

I went with the bose flex . I don’t need anything louder because I’m never more than 3ft from my speakers 99% of the time. It also sounds best when you have your tweeter speaker aligned with your earhole.

[ericmartinez]

This guy got it right. That flex is amazing. Bose best work for 150$.

[mannysanchez]

Just got my Bose flex today. Sounds great. I’ll use my JBL charge when I need a louder sound

[kingkobra]

At this point in time the Bose Flex is hands down the best Bluetooth speaker on the market. It can't be blasted because it was designed for quality over quantity. All of these other speaker manufacturers are going to have to start from scratch if they want to dethrone the Flex because just adding on to their existing products will not suffice.

[AdarshSingh]

If I had the option to buy Bose Flex with the marshall look, that would be best.
Because looks matter, I went with Marshall Emberton II 🙈🤓

[truesight]

The clarity on the Marshall was on another level but the BOSE won with the BASS.

[anijamed]

Flex is best when you put it on a desk no more than 3ft away but farther way from that sounds weaker, jbl is louder with more bass and you can place it either near or far away from you good for a bedroom but not a living room, marshall is best for listening lounge piano or concert, best speaker to use for unwinding and better placed on the living room, i prefer the jbl for the balance it gives and marshall when i want to relax, bose is ok but if requires you to be near it to appreciate it

I hemmed and hawed for a few days, watched dozens of reviews and then went with the Bose Revolve 2. Then I found Danny's videos a few days later (YT recommended after I watched all those other reviews) and regret not getting the reflex (or two). The Revolve 2 is pretty slick, impressive sound (IMHO); my only complaint is it could be louder. It was also ~$70 more. The revolve 2+ is supposed to be louder but that was ~$320 and at that price I was thinking I'd be better of with 2x Flex' or the Marshall Middleton. I was leaning towards the Middleton; but, I was looking for something portable and the Middleton is a little big for tossing in a bag.
TL;DR, another great video, thanks for the help!

[gagachang.]

Fair enough. But let's say someone is gifting you a Bose flex or Bose revolve 2. Then which would you pick?

[MrGeos]

Sold have the Marshall Kilburn and it is great but bought the Bose because of clarity and outside use .

[descendingeagle]

It's not a blind sound test if you (the controller) is also providing criticism.

[akasheehan]

I really like the sound of the Bose but damn the design and color of the Marshall cream is my favourite

[olivenaito]

I looked at some of the reviews for Bose but people were complaining that it stops working in about a year. Hopefully the Marshall is more durable.

[tuensiao]

your smile at 1:07 made me happy today.

[maakatipa]

Started to watch this, but the delayed reaction comments to the speaker that's actually being held up was just annoying. One good thing did come out of it though. I had earlier bought the same Boze flex on facebook for half the money. Can't wait until it arrives now.

[hwbazaar]

I would love to see a comparison of the Flex vs Emberton II

[sudiptoshyam]

Watching this video after already buying a Bose... Hence I got a confirmation 😎

[mythoughts]

ILike your reviews, you give honest reviews when I do have the Bose sound link flex speaker, last one I owned was Bose sound link II . I like how this can link party mode to another speaker. And two devices as well. It could have faster charge and longer battery. Love Bose products.

[rcgv]

What’s odd is that the only true stereo speaker is the Marshall.

[robinmartinsson]

A really fun and great video. I thought avout buying a Divoom Ditoo Mic, inspired by another video that you had with a Divoom Ditoo. The Divoom Ditoo Mic seems like a great deal of just pure fun and I love karaoke. But I also love sound so now Im more thinking about the Bose Flex. Thanx for all your videos and as usual, Greetings from Sweden 🇸🇪
