Old vs. New Stereo (1992 Sony Boombox vs. 2015 JBL Charge 3) [Sound Quality Test]
Skip to 4:18 for the sound test. NOTICE: Before asking for the songs used in this video please read the description. Thanks!! So I recently read an article on C|NET claiming that a 90's Boombox had better sound quality than most portable speakers of today. Me being a vintage guy immediately believed it without any proof! Well, I have a 1992 Sony boombox and a 2015 JBL Charge 3. So I decided to take both "portable" sound systems and check the audio quality. I find the difference amazing! I think you will too! Audio: Audio was recorded using a Zoom H2n handy recorder. Audio is compressed using a 3.5:1 compression ratio to keep audio normalized. No equalization was applied. MUSIC: Linkin Park - The Catalyst: http://goo.gl/KCN8oN Journey - Don't Stop Believin': http://goo.gl/kGF6vH Billy Joel - We Didn't Start The Fire: http://goo.gl/KFvFjP Avenged Sevenfold - Hail To The King: http://goo.gl/TqT8ta Mötley Crüe - Kickstart My Heart: http://goo.gl/8Gb3bN NF - Let You Down: http://goo.gl/MjN1QF Drake - God's Plan: http://goo.gl/L1tido Thanks for Watching!
