B&W Zeppelin Air vs Monster Beatbox, H/K Go+Play and Kicker iK501

[117Legacy]

my system would wipe its a** with all of these

[CrackMania200]

Me being a kicker owner, i do have to agree the zeppelin is clearer and better, but the everything beats the beatbox. To me, all beats products are just overpriced pieces of junk.

The kicker does however hit bass harder than all the other systems, and it still has really nice quality

[SimonHutsonTV1]

To me the Beatbox sounded clearer and had more bass

[ande320]

Both kicker and zeppelin air goes deeper in the bass than Beatbox

[ande320]

Both kicker ik501 and b&w Zeppelin air goes deeper in the bass

[ande320]

kicker ik501 have a problem when playing really loud so the speaker can vibrate quite a bit and rattle nearby objects. but my kicker can play extremely loud with lots of bass without distortion, I think monsters beatbox can play about as loud but not as deep bass. my b & w zeppelin air gives incredibly good sound you notice a difference between kicker and b & w in terms of sound quality

Song?

Kicker is ranked as the loudest iPod dock it can reach 115 dB. Kicker have deepest bass of all docks

[stacll]

@ande320 maybe at 1 inch

[ande320]

Monster Beatbox its not louder than kicker. Monster Beatbox have no good bass. I own Zeppelin air, Harman kardon go play and kicker ik501. Kicker have more deep bass than Beatbox. Zeppelin air sounds best and its have better

[stacll]

@ande320 ok, I might have a deffective Kicker if you say so.

[TheKlose123]

@ande320One more question: is there a system that is as much as the kicker ik501? maybe there's a plant that is a bit nicer and has better sound, but should still have about the bass as the kicker

Thank you very much

[ande320]

@TheKlose123 not the same price range as the kicker, which is quite close to the base is zeppelin air

 but zeppelin air is more expensive but has better detailed sound

[3eeeDee]

@TheKlose123 bass actually sounded the best on the beatbox to me :P

[3eeeDee]

@TheKlose123 but i guess its just personal preference

[3eeeDee]

@ande320 nup... :P



[ande320]

@3eeeDee zeppelin air sounds much better than the beatbox. Zeppelin Air also has a much wider soundstage than the monsters beatbox. even kicker ik501 is much better than the beatbox

[ande320]

Kicker can handle much more bass than monster Beatbox and can play at least

[ande320]

Harman kardon is not bassiest the kicker ik501 have more bass than Any dock in this test. Kicker is the loudest to. Zeppelin air have the best sound and it have more bass than Harman kardon

[stacll]

@ande320 Well, I have all of them and I'm pretty sure we don't have the same definition of bass. The Kicker have more midbass than the others, but not more bass.

The loudest on most song is still the Monster. I have a spl meter that doesn't lie!

[TheKlose123]

@stacll kicker ik501 have 10000 % more bass than monster !!!

[stacll]

@TheKlose123 the monster goes lower

[ande320]

this review is crap

[stacll]

@ande320 which review?



[gritloyal]

'just picked up a Kicker IK501 on ebay for $159 shipped...excellent value.

Thanks for the vid.

[TheEricCartman85]

fuck you all! Beatbox by dre is the best

[ande320]

@TheEricCartman85 no kicker ik501 is louder than monster beatbox and have more bass

[TheKlose123]

B&W Zeppelin Air is the best <3

[badopinion]

Those drivers in 2 box' from b&w would set you back $500. The zeppelin is a deal.

[eug3nius]

That the Zeppelin is as good as 400-500$ speakers. It's much worse.

[SuperNiko911]

and in your opinion witch speaker is the best ?

[775marco]

What the song name please ??

[stacll]

@775marco sail-awolnation



[aleenbox2011]

How can you compare the speakers that are different prices ? not fair

[stacll]

@aleenbox2011 It's to let people ear the difference...

[DrNGoc86]

@stacll

EAR THE DIFFERENCE!? WTF! With that creepy mic your are using!? You must be kidding...

[stacll]

@DrNGoc86 Crazy boy! Listen with good headphones and you will ear the difference for sure, I certainly do!

[DrNGoc86]

@stacll

I listened to it - with my Zeppelin Air - and I didn't say that there is no difference. I just said that it is ridiculous to make such a video with shitty mic recording. So people will not hear how superior, naturally and good the sound of a B&W Zeppelin really is. Be serious.

Btw, to hear a difference you don't need good speakers/headphones - cause of bad the recording quality. You just won't hear the quality... Sorry, if you misunderstood my intention.

[stacll]

@DrNGoc86 The problem is youtube compressing the sound, not my creepy external mic.

[DrNGoc86]

@stacll

Approved. ☺

[stacll]

Well, the Harman/Kardon is portable and sound amazing for it's size but, the Zeppelin Air is the best package and it's sound as good as a pair of 400-500$ speakers!

[jaywongy]

So which would you say are best from your personal experience?

[stacll]

@jaywongy Well, the Harman/Kardon is portable and sound amazing for it's size but, the Zeppelin Air is the best package and it's sound as good as a pair of 400-500$ speakers!

[eug3nius]

@stacll

LOL, keep telling yourself that. :)

[stacll]

@eug3nius about what?
