So first of all a little description of what I use it for.
Im A singer/acoustic guitarist mainly doing covers of folk/pop/rock and more than 25 Years on the stage.
Been through most of the compact systems out there!
My experiences
Bose L1 Compact:
Not enough headroom if the crowd is a bit loud and you need to crank it + needs a mixer in front of it to really sound good and also has no reverb built in !
Bose S1 pro:
Again Not enough headroom and I always had a rattle from the 6.5 woofer when playing drop D
Fender Acoustic Go:
Sounds great for the guitar no headroom issues but never got my vocals the way I wanted to ( always A bit boxy ) + if you like me have a low baritone kinda voice there was just no presence/attack on the low end notes.
HK Era 1:
Same as The Fender but also mine at least had a gain problem on the mic and would tend to clip if I wanted it loud + had a lot of hiss at higher volumes.
So now to the Everse 8:
Simply blown away by the sound projection on this thing !
App is stable and have had no connection issues at all.
Effects are solid ( at least the hall/reverbs ) don't use anything else.
Loads of headroom and completely silent (no Hiss ) even at high volumes.
I use a At 5400 condenser mic / and the fishman blend system and can sit 1 m in front 1.5 m to the side of it at really loud volumes without any feedback.
sound is Crisp, warm and the lows come across powerful and tight on my voice!
Really Can't recommend this thing enough is you are a singer songwriter or solo performer !
Simply stunning.

it really struggles with piano music
Anonymous 11.01.2023
when there is a piano music some notes are very crackly coming from the tweeter. at low and high volumes. i have two of these speakers but do it but one is slightly worse.
Enclosure sturdiness and battery functionality are great

Weak 3band eq and very edgy sound and fx that can't be optimized
Zinon 08.04.2023
For this review I compared ev 8 with eon one compact. I moistly do live gigs with a fiddle and backtracks so I need to have an almost studio sound to blend my fiddle with my backtracks. So that's where the ev was lucking of choices of eqing different channels. Ch 1/2 has only the typical 3 parametric eq which can't do really much except you already have studio conditions. Unlike ev the jbl with it's 5 band graphic eq on all channels can do rally impressive things and be very pleasant and very close to natural sound. I put ev 3 stars tho because for djs that already play already eq songs ev will do a better job because it reaches higher output without clipping and if u give it a good sound it will do the job.
Conclusion ev is mostly for djs and deffinetely not for musicians that use microphones or transducers which need a lot of optimisation.
The dB difference compared with compact is around 4
Also a very big issue is that the Bluetooth connectivity is very laggy with mediocre devices. As I tested with my phone which cost around 150 and with my 2k laptop the problem was that my phone didn't have a strong cpu while the laptop didn't have problem with the Bluetooth. Unlike that, compact is a workhorse having no issues with bluetooth.
