Everse 8 : Outstanding.

I expected these to perform slightly better than the Bose S1 Pro System, but in reality they're totally different ballpark. The Everse 8 has a parametric EQ and could be adjusted to sound fantastic. On my birthday party they performed incredibly well for at least 8 hours and at some point they were pushed above 80% volume level. The battery level was about 70% by the end of the night. Apart from the S1 Pro system, I own a pair of SOUNDBOKS 3 but these are hands down my favourites of the bunch. Featherlight for the performance, they are very easy to throw around and feel solidly built. These will be my main go-to battery PA speakers at least until QSC finally come out with their own set. For everyone wondering if they're worth the premium (against Bose, JBL and a myriad of other cheaper options) I can simply say that I regret sometimes spending that much money on portable PA speakers while not giving a chance to the Everse 8. Yes, they're totally worth every single penny and if I ever sell my other portable PAs, I will definitely get a second pair of these babies. I haven't tested them in the rain yet so I can't confirm if the so called "weatherization" (there's no such word) is true.
