How does the TDK A34 compare to the UE Boom in sound quality &amp; volume? The TDK is larger, so I'm trying to decide if it's worth the extra bulk.

When I played them together it wasn't really close. The UE Boom had ok sound, but it sounded like a lot of the other bluetooth speakers out there, kind of tinny and flat. The only two that I felt were good was the bose unit and this unit. I wanted something I could take to the beach, potentially get wet, etc. So I got this. I had them next to each other at the store and would go back and forth. I'm very happy with the tdk unit.

The volume isn't as loud overall as they UE Boom but there is a trade off. The Fugoo has superior sound quality and ample volume once you download the software upgrade. As to the 360 sound radius, both do very well.

All the way! The sound quality is totally different....it's excellent (especially when compared vs. intensity). I upgraded them and was the best decision.

Not sure how good the a33 was but the a26 went back. It sounded awful. Much to thin for my enjoyment. I had the q35 as well and returned it as it was too boomy (over emphasized bass). I picked up the UE Boom and am very happy. It has 15 hours battery life vs. the 6 from TDK. I got the Boom 20%off at a local wireless carrier store. I highly recommend not buying the a26. It's cheaper but the sound is pretty bad when compared to similar devices like the jawbone mini.

I recently flew to Europe last week, own a pair of those & a Sony MDR7506. I was comparing them; that JVC amazed me. It blocked 90%+ of cabin noises', jet sound included. It's not something that you will feel immediately, it's kind of progressive, then nothing. Feels comfortable& the sound quality is awesome.

Sorry I can;t really help you out there, I have never used the Beyerdynamic's DT-770. I would be interested in hearing your input on the H6. The ones I had really stunk. I'm beginning to wonder if they were defective, and they never tested them. Seems pretty lame for B&O; to not test them. I can't imagine anyone using them for anything beyond a door stop.

un-believable Circuit city pulled the a3 from their best seller list. The A20 is down around 30 or so. They're definitely pro bluray!

The Ks have a much better soundstage and crystal clear midrange, the Qs not as clean, equalized for more mass-market appeal. Have owned both (sold the Q) and for my money it's no contest.

I have to agree with Littlm16 answer. But also want to add my two cents into this one. YOU HAVE TO BUY THIS BOOMBOX. Cuz if you pass this up. You will never have another chance to get something this good (This coming from a old-school boombox lover). Every company now is making small little portable bluetooth speaker system and calling them BoomBoxes, which I find very annoying, cuz they really don't 'Boom' at all. Oh! there is one speaker that is kinda close to this one, the Dre BeatBox, i got this for my Dad. The TDK vs the BeatBox, the TDK wins...hands down. :-)

I can speak directly to a Soundlink 3 comparison. In my opinion, the TDK sounds comparable. Like you, I hate tinny sound, and can attest to the fact that the TDK is not tinny at all. It is rich and full at all volumes. Actually, it is shockingly rich and full given the size and the price. If you're torn beween the Bose and the TDK, I say buy the TDK with confidence.

I am very happy with the sub. Don't have any experience any other quality subs so can't compare. It is quite powerful without being "boomy". I have it in a large carpeted living room. Sorry I could not relate to your question more directly - hope this little bit helps.

That significantly had an effect on the sound quality. The X-230 sounds a lot better in comparison. I get a more surround sound feel with the X-230, but I can't say the same about the X-240's. Easily X-230 &gt; X-240.

BETTER what?? better (quality) sound, better pounding base, better quality materials, better warranty, ????? The 13.5 is larger and pushes more air. The other thing you will want to find out is, what is the RMS rating difference between te two. I never look at the "peak "watts. Means nothing to me. The RMS is the thing to look at. I only buy the best, JL AUDIO. I have NEVER had any problems! Some body may have a louder sounding system, BUT its the quality of sound that counts. I have never had American Base before. Never had any reason to try them. I ALWAYS tell everybody "you can't go wrong with JL AUDIO.

I plan to keep mine, but for the money, it is DEFINITELY worth considering the Behringer X32. Besides a multitude of other features (including 2x as many channels), 8 DCAs, flying Faders, and an amazing colored LCD scribble strip are things you won't find on the 16.4.2. And no, I am not paid by Behringer to say that!

The TDK "Life on Record" has VERY dynamic, rock solid sound...not tinny at all and doesn't lose audio quality at max volume. Before buying, I went into my local Best Buy and listened to both this unit and the Bose. The TDK (in my opinion) sounds just as good as, if not better than, the Bose. I have owned the TDK since August 2014 and use it all the time. It really does sound great. Go find it at Best Buy and take a listen if you can. I guarantee you won't be disappointed.

I don't own any of those ear phones. So cannot say. It is not boomy, that's for sure and its liveliness more than makes up for it. I have a pair of Sony that has really sweet bass, but I still prefer the UE. It is really open and lively. I'd say it is musical. If you're looking for bombastic bass, this is not it.

Hi Rick, I would go with the EP-4000 over the iNuke any time I can. Of course there is also always the Seismic Audio Epicenter 5202 and Magnitude 2400 ;) The Epicenter is the closest power rating of any of these 4. The Magnitude is more powerful for more head room, but you can overload the speaker with that much power. The quality difference with these guys comes down to damping factor. The EP is &gt;300, but the Epicenter and Magnitude are &gt;400 for increased clarity. The iNuke has a lot of "power rating" but doesn't give the better performance.
