    For the type of music I listen to most often, I’m going with the beats. When paired, the stereo sound is amazing.

    Ive pretty much always been a Bose guy, i had the original beats pill back in the day before they were bought by apple, and it was phenomenal…
    After apple acquired it, i wasn’t feeling it. It sounded horrible to me. But i recently just bought the new beats pill, and i gotta say, it sounds GREAT ! And i just bought it to try it out, but im keeping it. And remember, im a Bose guy.

    I think when reviewing these small Bluetooth speakers, quality definitely matters. I find with some reviews there seems to be an expectation that these speakers should perform like bookshelf speakers. They are portable and will be limited. You pay for the portability and the satisfying sound that comes out of them…

    I have two Sony ERSXB 100 Bluetooth speakers that I put in stereo mode when used. I feel this produces a larger stereo sound sage well still being compact. The two speakers together about the same size as one of the speakers featured in this video.

    I went for the Bose because I love the green it comes in, and it went on sale last month for just $99.

    Great video! I just picked up a Bose Flex about a week ago and I gotta say, I absolutely love it. I did catch the sale for 109 bucks for the black one, and for that price, it is an incredible sounding speaker. Of course, it has a limit to how good, and at the sale price I honestly want to get a second one just to try to stereo pairing and get more out of them. However, even just having the one, it is fantastic for when I’m just hanging out. I usually play it at about 40 percent and that even gets me a nice sound when I’m just sitting with it. I can’t say anything on the Beats Pill, as I don’t own one, but that was a serious contender for my choice of speaker until I saw the sale.

    I have both. I prefer the way the Pill sounds, it’s more detailed at the high end. However the long presses on the power button can be annoying as it doesn’t always register and I noticed it can make everything on the table it’s on rattle, which the Flex doesn’t do. The Flex is easier to use, just don’t rely on the app, and still sounds really good. I think the comment about the Pill is more a home speaker is accurate, it’s heavier and just feels much nicer to hold. Essentially, they are both really good.

    You have to ask yourself if it’s a good idea to turn the speakers away from the “blinded test subjects”?
