Sony SRS-XB33 - after midnight listening session #2

Der Hund ist ja mal ultra süß.

Yes it’s the latest version

Very nice comparison, as always 👌 Has this anker the latest firmware (36.38)?

After I found out that the XB33 gradually reduces from max after 30 minutes to save battery - they lost my money. However, I agree, they did well with the sound this time. I am still happy with the soundcore motion+ that is quality at max volume or 50% volume.

What eq settings do you have for anker ?

The Micro Monitors, he kidnapped them a while back and has them in his room now. They sound really amazing even he claims these are the best speakers ever haha. I never had any problems with the C3 yet.

Which iLouds? Btw, I tried the C3 awhile back, it kidnapped my Bluetooth connections. Never again.

My son uses it but he prefers the iLouds. I should try the C3 again, haven’t tried it for some time. It should sound bigger I suppose, but also slightly mono.

How would the Audio Pro C3 compare to the Sony/Denon? Do you still use it regularly?

Your math is actually surprisingly exact. Right now I am close to 1200€ per month on Patreon and I am of course thankful for any support by all of you. But this was also the amount I got from YouTube during better months already some years ago. Sometimes especially at the end of the year I got more than 2000€ from YouTube alone, add affiliate income that I got from Amazon before they cancelled my account and it was definitely more than now but my approach was different back then as I had to look for content that might appeal to the masses thus all those JBL/Bose/UE and Sony videos although I never liked their products. Also adding affiliate links to products which I bashed looked simply weird. I didn’t review so many products which I could really recommend without any reservations thus I didn’t really add lots of affiliate links to my videos, but when done properly with the intention to get the maximum clicks and income, I am pretty sure one can get pretty rich. But then I would need to recommend and try selling a lot of products, which I simply can’t as there are not that many I would like to recommend. Also regarding the content it was a hit or miss all the time, some of my videos where I put a lot of effort just got some 1000 views while other ones I didn’t really take seriously suddenly got million views. Now I am rather concentrating on stuff that I am personally interested in of course having back in mind that it should be also interesting for the others. In the meantime I am somehow trying to create some kind of “atmosphere” with my videos, especially acoustically. I try to recreate a particular moment, scene or whatever and whany to share this with you. If there are people who are interested in this, the better for me. But I would need to get at least double the amount than now to really be able to survive from this somehow. I sometimes wonder why people do watch this crap at all and question what I am doing here.

That sounds surprisingly sweet for a small Sony.. I am considering buying it, which would be the first portable speaker purchase in like 2 years for me (it used to be something I bought every few months 😅). Anyways, I am curious about how this new Patreon thing ia working out for you. It looks to me like it's working pretty well, and a lot better than Youtube was. You have about 360 Patreons, I am assuming the average one pays every month is around 3/4€.. which would mean that this is going very well, and so, definitely better than Youtube was doing for you. I wonder whether it's enough to not just waste money on the project like you had to do with YT, but also get something back this time.

I watch your videos usually with these headphones: HD58X, Sony Wx1000xm3 or in ear ibasso it01. All have diferent sound signatures but i can really feel and hear the diferences between the speakers. For me, here the Sony is the winner, It has a deeper bass and sounds overall fuller with that eq. The quality of the video is amazing, sound and video quality are top.

Its a tie for me, again at some tracks anker speacially some of the accoustic stuff and sony on the other hand, more on house, but also keeping it with the interesting caracter .Looking foward for the upcoming listning sessions!! As i was interested too to see the difference between this live mode and for tge denon

i am interested too.

Great video as always! Could you please do frequency response measurements of xb33?
