Great speaker especially for the kids

No gimmicks. Very solid speaker that plays music at a good quality. Not the world’s best, but obviously that’s why there’s more expensive speakers out there. There is no distortion at all at the highest volume and all the frequencys too. The bass is slightly less there compared to the other frequencies but it’s still very prominent.Main reason I’m taking a star off is because theres a delay from when you play the audio and it’s played on the speaker. This shouldn’t be a problem to most people but I was hoping to use it like a normal speaker for my PC and even though there’s an improvement when plugged in compared to Bluetooth, the 1 second delay makes it unusable as a media speaker.Overall I totally love it. It’s loud, sounds good, durablez and convenient which is all I want in a speaker

The sound is constantly being muted fort shorts period of time when using the aux cable on a low volume (low volume on device outputting), this is very irritating as you always notice it. I bought it to use as a soundsystem for my TV but now I’m returning the product and bought and Sony XB41 instead.The JBL support experience was also bad, the chat didn’t work and I had to contact them by email, they asked me to reset the product but it didn’t fix the problem.

Really disappointed with JBL’s speaker.The speaker only does “loud”. If you want to take to the beach and blast out house tracks, then this is your speaker.If you want to listen to music in your house then it’s awful. Everything sounds like it’s in a box.For film and TV I found it unusably bad. In order to understand speech you have to turn it up really loud, and then you wake the neighbours up when anything happens in the film. I ended up turning it off and using laptop speakers instead.The build quality is excellent. The battery life is great. It’s very convenient. I just wish it sounded ok.

I bought this because the stereo in my car is poor. I thought, “I’ll put this is the car to listen to some decent sound.”I had the Flip 4, which isn’t bad at all, so my hopes were high.This however, imagine you had ear wax and were standing at the top of a well listening to a wax cylinder recording playing at the bottom, with some added distortion, and you’re most of the way there.It makes me sad that I am too busy and too lazy to box it and return it. it’s junk.Thank you JBL, I will buy elsewhere.

It is simply a really really good speaker. It offers well rounded bass, good treble and enough room for the mids. I use it when I am in the garden and I really appreciate the way it presents the music I love. A solid and dependable choice. You can buy with confidence.

Exactly what I wanted

Arrived in good condition and timely manner. Without reading instructions (in my view is part of the test to see how well designed the product is for the consumer if the custoner didn’t have to read the instructions) I tried to top up the battery charge by plugging in the cable which came with JBL Flip 4 and Charger 3. When it didn’t charge, it was only after then did I look further into the box. The charger is a big lump which I did not expect to see on a consumer product such as this Xtreme2. The charger is the size of the charger of my laptops. It is a good thing I did not have plans to bring this speaker to my work assignments. 1 Star lost.With the first CD played (the files were transposed MP3’s at max sampling size), the music did not sound good. So I left the laptop and speaker to continue playing while I went to do noisy DIY jobs. The following days and albums sounded better, much improved as compared to the first day. Clearly this speaker needed burn-in. For this review I would suggest it needs a week or even 100 hours to burn-in.The following few weeks I noticed the music sounded brilliant (the quality reminded me how the music sounded through the floor standing speakers of the hi-fi system (but which my other half won’t allow installed in the main lounge (which is the purpose of this Xtreme2, to replace the music I had not been listening))) depended very much on the source material. Linda Ronsadt Greatest Hits vol.1 &2 must have been recorded in the days of LP’s (but which I transferred from a CD) sounded wooly. Mary Black sounded crystal clear and strong with most of her CD’s. If I closed my eyes when listening to Gloria Estefan Oye Mi Canto – Los Exitos I could imagine I was right there in the streets of Cuba.Apart from the smaller JBL’s I also have two Ultimate Ears Boom 2. Of these Bluetooth enabled speakers it is the Xtreme2 which is my favourite at the moment. Yes, some music played thorugh it sounded poor but most are given a semi decent stereo audio image from a relatively small package. The bass is much stronger as well as very controlled than the smaller the smaller Bluetooth speakers. It may be superior to the book shelf speakers I have kept from 30 years ago. The pleasure of listening to it when I am unable to listen to music through the Hi Fi system is that it has brought back all the bass notes abscent in many headphones and smaller bluetooth speakers. It is such an honest speaker that any poor recordings or modern ones which have the bass extra boosted with the intention of customers playing music through headphones sound poor to very poor when played though this Xtreme2.In summary, this speaker won’t replace the Hi Fi when playing Mozart or Bach’s Brandenburgh Concertos but it is a good substitute I am unable to listen to music via the Hi Fi system.Still haven’t read the instructions to confirm but the metal attached to the shoulder strap is a bottle opener.
