This is the JBL Boombox 2⊠its the latest and largest party boost speaker in JBLâs line up and obviously its the successor to the super popular JBL boombox. Now this speaker does have some changes on both the outside and inside from the original Boombox⊠But lets see how the new JBL boombox 2 stacks up to the original⊠and lets see if its worth upgrading for you if you already have the original boombox.

I'm sticking with the older JBL models with connect +.
smart man
Me too
yea immediately thought the same when i saw the flip 5 with party boost. already own xtreme 2 and charge 3, might as well wrap it up with the OG boombox.
Afcors me to
Just get an anker speaker those things shred.
Got the original boombox as it was on offer for ÂŁ200. This is the best bluetooth speaker I have owned. It's really pleasant to listen to. Everything is and bass is deep with plenty of slam without being overpowering. If you want a gym speaker or bbq speaker then this is it.
I just bought a boombox 2 for ÂŁ200 and I can't wait for it to arrive!
First they call it 'connect' then 'connectPLUS' now it is 'party boost', I'm sure 'party boostPLUS' will be the next scam to keep people updating. Definitely no future proof speakers.
Still love my original boombox though, use it everyday!
I have the boombox 2 this thing is impressive! Very powerful speaker even on low volume you can feel the bass ...the problem is if you really want to show it off youll have to be outdoors because it really does kick ass
Who's here after seeing the boombox is on sale for $280 on prime days? Lol great video btw went with the boombox 1 cause $220 more isn't worth the difference (:
Same đ€Šââïž
Thatâs exactly why Iâm here lol I was looking for reviews of the OG one I didnât even know there was a Boombox 2. Now I know why itâs on sale!
Precisely! BB2 is $500 but I just bought TWO JBL BB1s for $560! Now I can connect them both and really jam. Additionally, I'll wait for the charge 4 to get to $99 and I'll pick up 2 of those and then my golf cart will be Poppin! đđ€Łđ
Me haha. Its beautiful. I love it
Yep. Same here.
I DON'T KNOW WHY JBL NEVER ASK PEOPLE FOR FEEDBACK ON WHAT NEW FEATURES THEY WOULD LIKE TO SEE ON THEY NEW PRODUCTS, LIKE USB-C AND SO MANY OTHER STUFFđ€
I agree completely! When you look at reviews for ANY of their products, they always mention features customers actually want that JBL seems completely oblivious to
I feel like $50 for cooler plastic rim and 10W+ but 1h less battery is really not worth the upgrade.
Regah Productions bro in my country the difference between the boombox 1 and 2 is âŹ215
In my country itâs the same price
the bass goes quite a bit deeper and the bass is much fuller. I have both and the boombox 2 is a clear upgrade. I have a lot of Bluetooth speakers and the boombox goes lower then any other Bluetooth speaker i have including the Hyperboom. Hyperboom has a harder hitting upper bass punch but cant hit the sub bass of the boombox 2. Imo the deeper bass of the boombox 2 gives it this fullness the hyperboom is missing. plus the highs are much clearer on the boombox 2
@@alexlittig7927 i'm sure people who already own so many speakers like you do care about the details, but for someone who's a bit tighter on money, it would have been cool for them to do like they did with the flip 5, where they kept the same price but improved on audio quality, bluetooth whatever, and a bit more watts. Even i like speaker stuff, sound design, and electronics, but i can't afford 50 dollars more just for "higher quality" bass, however you call it.
It is still trash
You mentioned the wattage of BB1 is a 20W speaker and BB2 is a 30W speaker, but I think that's wrong. They are both 2x30W RMS on battery and 2x40W RMS plugged in, according to specs available on JBL website. So it's no surprise there isn't a noticeable volume difference.
You make a good point about the planned obsolescence with switching to Partyboost from Connect+. They did the exact same when switching from Connect (v1) to Connect+, I wouldn't be surprised if partyboost also gets replaced in 3 years with no backwards compatibility again
Floss already said NO...SO there you go
Sheep
@@bullyjay1957 baaaaa baaaaa lol
I normally would trust him until I heard him say the xtreme 1 has more bass than the xtreme 2. I heard the xtreme 1 irl after that and it was laughable compared to the xtreme 2. Only went about as low as my charge 3 maybe a bit lower
@@supercarsofwichita9485 there's 2 bass modes on the xtreme 1, not sure if it's the same for the 2... huge difference in amount of bass.
@@supercarsofwichita9485 maybe he had the old version and wasnt updated yet and he was blasting it with full volume
The Boombox 2 has a slightly deeper Bassline than the Boombox with Outdoor Mode, but btw, they still sounds very similar to compare. So in my opinion, the Boombox 2 is not worth the Upgrade
if you watch his EQ on the tablet the richer bass and mids are on outdoor mode on the first gen....but yes we are splitting hairs here...so lets make it black and white THE $500 UPGRADE COST LOL! *Infact if I were shopping in 2020 I would just get the First gen...save money and less charging and sounds amazing af "period" đ€Łđđđ„đ„
Since I have the extreme 2 the best buy for me to get it's the boombox one so I can connect them
Boombox has already too strong bass, so the stronger one on boombox 2 is kind of stupidness.
@@markorakic6264 You can never have enough bASS!!!đ€Łđ±âđđ
@@bigskinflutelol6770 Agree to disagree :)
I was having a hard time trying to figure out which one to get. Your sound test showed me that for $100 more the Boombox 2 isn't worth the money. Thank you for the video!
Why doesn't jbl add a button to enable "partyboost & connect+" on the boomboxes?
Wouldn't that be awesome?!
@Ross Ritchey that's bullshit, they just want you to buy the newer models
Yea a back compat mode would have been great, heck even if it was to just pair it with your older boombox
This is a very well-done review, I'm buying the original boombox based on this, it's on sale at $299 everywhere. Great information and clear and articulate commentary.
I got the boombox 2 bout 3 to 4 months ago and got it for a price of 340.when it was on sale on Amazon
I love how critical you are. I wish there was more reviewers like you.
What??? There's my boi floss
I bought the boombox 2 as an upgrade for my xtreme 2 so in that case itâs well worth it, upgrading from boombox 1 to boombox 2 is like upgrading from an iphone 12 pro to a 13 pro, if you have money to burn then sure but itâs not necessary. Just like iphones, jblâs stay relevant and reliable for a long time so whatever you buy from the last few gens will serve you well! Great video tho!
Let's be real here.... This is the Boombox 1.5
If we compare to iPhone itâs like the jbl Boombox S lol
@@gl-jp8up apple boombox pro
BassTests hi (:
If it ainât broke donât fix it, right?
Yep
Cant connect JBL 1 with JBL 2 ... lmao.. they became the apple of bt speakers
You have become the Walmart of grammar
@@alexsmith6627 best youtube roast ever
Lol
aint that some shit. I just pulled mine out and tried to connect and nope. That's just complete bullshit. They were cool but now their pricks. I bragged about my boomboxes and Xtreme 2's because I have 2 boombox's and 2 Xtreme 2's and I can connect I get the new Boombox 2 and no cannot connect what the fuck is that bullshit. Exactly it's Bullshit. Next company please. Fuck JBL because of this shit. and yes same as apple changing the size of the phones so you can never reuse your cases etc. Bullshit.
Idk why people say apple, I have apple products from 2005 that connect to my 2013 that connects to my 2020. What are you referencing, a charging cable?
I have neither, but when listening with my Skullcandy Crusher Wireless w/ the bass turned up, The bass on the Boombox 2 really outperforms it's predecessor. I'm a bass guy. Bass all the way. Thanks to the Army. HOOAA!! And JBL if you see this comment, make a Bluetooth speaker that can make bass blast at 15-20 htz. Me and my battle buddies would love this if it were to come to fruition. Much love from Texas
The Boombox 2 is 60 watts RMS while running on battery, and 80 watts RMS when connected to ac power.
I have an extreme 2 and I play it in LFM all the time. Although it shortens it's life it gets pretty close to the boombox in that mode.
yeah, if you use equalizer to lower the bass it gets extremely loud
I'm glad I watched this video! I'm in the market for a waterproof Bluetooth speaker for the summer, and I saw they hype surrounding the Boombox 2 and was going to buy it, thinking newer is better... But I'm happy to say I was wrong and your video changed my mind. I like the "outdoor mode" because this is where it's going to be used, and aesthetically I really like the metal dust caps on the passive radiators of the original version. Those extra 10 watts don't seem to do a whole lot beside run the battery down quicker. Great review and comparison!
The battery lasts longer (Boombox 2) every good Review describes that
I have the Boombox 2 and it is a beast outside...trust
â@@Cookie9060 the boombox 1 has a 20.000 mah battery with the boombox 2 has a 10.000 mah battery
after watching this video I bought the original Boombox. The boombox 1 is âŹ285 here now and the boombox 2 âŹ500. not spending that much more for that very little upgrade
I highly recommend the original. More USB ports, JBL connect+ (BoomBox two doesnât have it), and outdoor mode (Boombox two doesnât have it). I use two USBs a good bit when Iâm out with friends and the different modes REALLY come in handy out by the pool. And you canât forget the BoomBox two canât even pair with JBL Connect+ speakers
Bought it for âŹ220 in the JBL spring sale
â@@benraminprarmin1452and not forgetting to mention it has a 20.000 mah battery twice the big as the bbx 2
Yeah, so I should have specified that the TOTAL out put power of the Boombox 2 is 40 watts on battery on 60 Watts while plugged in.
shoot 60 watts is a jump I would love to watch 1st and 2nd gen. face-off plugged in using your tablet benchmark like this video!
No that's the original Boombox Specs aren't day. I I believe the JBL Boombox 2 is 2Ă30W on Battery Mode so 60 watts and 2Ă40W on AC Adapter so 80 watts... at least that's what the spec sheets says.
O man idk I never really look at those numbers much but if there almost the same that is a considerable extra punch of power and could make the difference in "quality" giving me a reason to upgrade...even though I'm usually unplugged if I ever use it lol
I would still love to see the face off plugged in! PART2 PLEASE!!đ€Șđđ„đ„đ„
@@bigskinflutelol6770well just know the power jump is a 20 watt jump that's quite a difference if you ask me
True they sound almost identical, but if the Boombox 2 is more Powerfull it could get louder and boomier with a future firmware update eventually. It is 20 watts more powerfull than the first one and that's a big deal.
The original boombox is 40w in battery mode, but if you plug it to the ac, its 60w. Each driver is 30w
I know that and the JBL Boombox 2 is 60 watts battery mode and 80 watts Plugged in.
I just got the 2 for a birthday gift and I love it. I did not have the first one and probably wouldnt upgrade if I had the first one. The 2 is amazing.
Iâve tried out so many speaker boxes, and this one by far sounds the best.
I have the original one and I'm disappointed in JBL seeing this new one. When out and about, I frequently use both USB ports to charge phones, I love the indoor/outdoor switch and overall I think the new one looks cheaper because of its flashy design
I just picked this up on eBay for $78 plus shipping ,can't wait to try it out .
Was it fake
I bought my Boombox 1 this week for 259 euro , saves me a lot of money ...
@FG-Gamer where?
My bb2 is on the way, Iâm so excited
Do u like yours?? ordered mine today , it comes Friday !
@@matthewshivel635 tbh my friend, the bass is great, but I have to say the voice is sometimes bit too sharp
Boombox 2 vs hyperboom would be brilliant
Thank you for this review, I got my original JBL boombox on sale at Curryâs for ÂŁ189. 00 , Some sites are selling fake boombox 2, be careful.
Bro when in all your videos most devices show nearly the same peak volume, maybe you should think about that an iPad mic is not a precise meausurement tool, especially for loud low frequencies.
I am using original BB but i like big passive radiators in BB2 for better bass visibility with extra power of 20 watts and the party boost feature for better connectivity with other JBL speakers.
Ya the styling is very nice
the new BOOMBOX 2 can be used in indoor mode also, you must hold two most left button for 10 seconds, and it will change, for high-frequency mode. it sounds louder and clear in low volume.
Putting your jbl speaker into lfm(low frequency mode) can damage your speaker just letting you know.
I wish I would have watched this before I bought the 2.0. I originally had the 1.0 and tbh itâs way better.
So you definitely like the first one over the second one?
Exactly the video I was looking everywhere for thanks so much on the clarification
When the poll goes from 0% to 100% early
Perfect and thanks for the fast review! I own the first gen. Boombox and I love every minute of battery since the sound is already great which means less charging and having 2 charge ports is a big deal for me and or my hangouts.
Thanks! Went and bought the boom box 2 and it rocks. My first big Bluetooth speaker. It was $100 off at Best Buy. Looking at a pulse next.
The power should be just as loud on battery as it is plugged in. This shit me with the extreme2 also. It should just have full power with a Power save button if you want more battery life.
but how is the batt life,ive got a xb31 and the batt last bout 3 to 4 hours,so if the xtreme 2 has better batt then that i would consider buying it
@@koke485 The X2 has a longer battery life yes. I think about 16 hours? You can look it up and confirm but I do know it's a large battery life. 50%-100% volume though may cut off a few hours. The Charge series likes to have 20 hours, and flip series around 10-12hours. Stay away from Pulse series, they don't last long.
JBL portable speakers have always seemed to lack a good power supply from the battery. The batteries in the boom boxes and extremes is only rated 7.4v nominal. Which [IMO] is way too low to drive something that powerful. Thereâs no way you can get 2x40w from a 7.4v battery in the boom box 2 nor even 2x30w as advertised.
@@DaGoose I ended up getting the hyperboom before this was released and now I'm really glad I did.
Iâm sorry but how is this an upgrade?? My boombox came with 2 USBs, JBL connect, and indoor/outdoor mode. This speaker has none of that, better cosmetics and higher wattage, sure, but the Boomboxs canât even pair to each other. JBL switching to partyboost after building JBL Connect+ was their smartest move. I love JBL but I certainly will not be âupgradingâ until the 3 or my current JBL falls to pieces.
Its getting harder to find the 2nd gen jbl speakers. Im having a tough time trying to find the original boombox
If it was USBC like my flip 5 then I would def buy this or the old one.
First test mistake was that sorry ass music you was playing bro.
U can edit the eq on the Spotify app
Wait, how?
@@samueleriksson1554 settings> playback> equalizer
The original boombox can charge a device while having more battery life left
Its presence means the original boombox will become cheaper. New ones PR's look like theyre glued onto the original.
from an audiophile standpoint deeper bass from this physical footprint is not generally better,given the size it must have a balance sound so that if you put it on high volume theres no frequency drop off and will remain linear.
The old boombox is being sold for half of it's prise in the Netherlands now
Um, on the website is said that the speaker is 2x30watts on battery mode
Yeah I don't know why him and Willington are doing that it is 40 watts on battery and 60 in the wall
Per channel my dudes
Dispute that I donât think you can get 2x30w from a 7.4v battery in the boombox 2. The spect sheet is a joke all together
Cool and accurate review! đ
Thanks for the professional edge.
All my speakers run connect + and I think they're brilliant in a localised space. As for partyboost, it's a shame I can't buy any new additions. Maybe JBL will regret not having flexibility of let's say the UE range .
Each woofer is 40 watt pluggin and 30 watt on battery so it is 80 watt total for the woofers and 2x 40 watt for the tweeters
I dont get the point of buying the 2 because it's almost the same thing but one thing I will say in its defense is everyone keeps dissing it because its latency but why would you be using a 500 dollar speaker to watch CZcams or Netflix? Just insight
Lol too many people thinking this would be a full overhaul. It's just an update.
Just confirmed my order for this speaker since i only have the xtream 2
Bought the BoomBox 2 from amazon the other day. Received it today and within 1 hour, one of the speakers are blown as its rattling terribly.. Iâm not sold on this speaker yet and am very disappointed. âčïž Weâll see how the JBL warranty goes now..
maybe a fault from factory, i have seen so many comments about JBL speakers being broken on the first day but i dont have this problem. my friend had a charge 4 which is ipx7 but after he submerged it into the water the speaker broke so the shop he bought it in gave him a new one. good luck on the warranty!
So it doesnât matter witch one I buy there both around 500 but the v2 just looks better sooooo Iâll buy the v2
Just got this on offer for ÂŁ249. I could have gone for the camo pattern, but that was ÂŁ400...?!?
I am planning to get the original, it will save me some money. Thank you for the review.
I have the original boombox and for me it lasts a lot longer on max volume, I work a 10 hour shift right now at ups and it easily lasts the entire shift and still has about 40 percent left
Really?
@@DrownedFish yea im actually really happy with it tbh, it could be a little louder sometimes but it definitely is loud enough for most other people, I just have a loud job lol
What's this 30watt statement???!?
80 watts was the target printed wattage in the manual right?
Otherwise the Boombox 2 and the Charge 4 are pushing the same amount of power? Ya, which makes no sense at all..???!?
80 Watts is combined output of both woofers when Plugged In. As you know Boombox have Two Woofers, Two Tweeters and Two Passive Radiators.
What do you recommend. Jbl boombox in my country right now has crazy 30% sales. Should I buy the 1 for a 30% sale or the 2 for full price.
ah prob get the sales one ig idk prob too late u prob buyed the 2
I've had the Boombox 2 for some months now. The sound quality is crystal clear, and it get's very loud! but the bass is weak. It sounds good sometimes, depending on where you place the speaker, and sometimes the bass is so weak I can barely hear it, let alone feel it, even when I'm sitting right in front of the speaker. Don't let the name fool you, this isn't a "boombox" it gets very loud, but it doesn't BOOM, it doesn't have "monsterous bass" just okay bass. Hopefully the Boombox 3 will have boomier bass with that extra subwoofer. Guess we'll just have to see. I hope they lower the price, $500 for a portable speaker is ridiculous.
I would wonder how battery life compares at equal decibel levels, i.e. maybe 100% volume on boombox 1 is the same as 80% volume on boombox 2
Boombox is a 60W speaker on battery and 80 on power not 20/30 watts like you said
The bb2 just isn't packed with enough upgrades man. Will wait for a more upgraded one. Bb1 and bb2 are too familiar. If you have several of the bb1 aswell for daisychaining purposes bb2 change is not worth it as jbl speakers cannot daisychain across different models
Why am I watching this after I bought one? I also happen to be connected to it watching this video
keep in mind that all phone USB-C chargers are still USB-A on the opposite side of the cable :3 at least my OnePlus 5 is. USB-A to go into the charger
Sander Cokart not on the iphone 11 pro/pro max and more and more phoneâs will come with that...
Sander Cokart my iPad isntđ
Ik you said phones, chill, Iâm not there yet,
Neither is the iphone 11 pro & pro max. Same goes for some of the new galaxy phones.
That being said, your comment is false since you said *all* phones with usb-c have usb-a on the other end.
Very good review, I'm glad I got myself the Jbl boombox 1
Boombox 2 is better sound
Bro they stop making boombox 1 fuck your lucky you bought yours in time
@@BaH_ZuRk I just bought a boombox one from the Amazon treasure truck today for $279.99. There's still some out there.
60 W-AC mode boombox ,40W-battery boombox
80W-AC mode boombox 2
60W-Battery boombox 2
I was so ready to buy the Boombox 2, but they still use a mini-USB port for charging, so I will pass until they upgrade that. Also, they downgraded to one EQ? I don't see why anyone would spend an extra $100 for the slight upgrades and sometimes downgrades for the 2.
Mini usb port?? Are u high?
I just purchased a original also refurbished if it wasn't for the purchase protection plan I wouldn't be the proud owner of JBL boombox the refurbished prices very and I can't get any answers I guess I'll keep digging I gave you a thumbs up thank you
Hi mate. I'been stock in choosing between JBL Boom Box and Marshall woburn II. Which one do you think have better performance in sound quality? Currently I have JBL Boom Box which has a great base, not as much natural as I expected but good, and of sound clarity and being crispy lovely. Do you think it's worth to swap from my JBL to Marshall? Does Marshall have deeper and more natural base in max volume? What about sound clarity?
Next time, try using the iOS eq to âLoudnessâ. This drops the mids and raises the low end slightly.
How you do that I use CZcams music ?
I'm not an audiophile and just walked in to the shop, they told me there's a new boombox 2 so I picked it without thinkink much. Price diff was $100 compared to the old one. And now I read all over the internet that the boombox 2 is far from being a true upgrade. Shit, I'm so pissed (first of all at myself). However wife is very happy with the boombox 2.
yeah dont worry about it, people were shitting on xtreme2 but I bought it and when it is compared to the xtreme1, xtreme1 sounds like a Walmart speaker. it's better to go into the shop or go to a friend and compare which in your opinion sounds better. i learned my lesson to not trust any reviews on the internet because they can be one sided. boombox 2 is overall better even If you are not an audiophile. sorry for bad english
Best review from this speaker that I have seen! Thanks!
for real the boombox 2 sound better princiipally the bass, it goe deeper and sound better. i dont jnow why you said that they sound mostly the same thing.
My friend has the boombox 2 and i have the original boombox, they both sound similar but the bass is a bit better on the boombox 2. No reason to upgrade unless you like spending money the sound a bit clearer on the original one though.
Is it ok to use the speaker whilst itâs charging?
Yeah it gets louder when charging its go Mega Ape when charged I have og boombox inside without power usually never take past 50 Netflix shows Rumble my room like a theater
I don't understand The part about pairing near the end, the original boombox allows you to pair up to 100 speakers as well.
It uses a new system that allows 100 to connect! The thing that sucks is you canât pair it to much of any other JBL speakers... if that answers anything
Ngl I have no idea where this guy got the specs from for this video because neither of these speakers are rated as low as 20/30 watts. Theyâre way too large and expensive to be running such low numbers and both use dual 4 inch high excursion woofers so thereâs no way they would be rated that low. I believe the old model puts out 40 watts on battery power and 60 on mains power and the new boombox is rated for 60 watts on battery power and 80 connected to mains respectively. No hate intended just some clarification for anyone looking to buy one of these đđŒ
Can you connect to the JBL Partybox 710?
this review is the best u=i have seen so far, keep it up man.
With the older models you can pay less and produce better sound with proper placement. Sure if you just jumped in the game and have the money buy the new models.
I thought it was 2 times 40 so 80 watts on ac then on battery itâs playing at at 2 times 30 so that means itâs playing at 60 watts so 60 battery and 80 ac and not 30 battery right
Jacob Betch yea thatâs true but he said 30 watts per speaker unit not all of the speaker units
Yeah tru tru
â2xâ is the amount of drivers in the system my guy. So two tweeters and two woofers on a 40 watt system.
can you compare it to hyperboom i would like to knwo if its better then the boombox 2 or not becauase its 100 dolars cheaper
Hyperboom is better. Gets more bass and covers a wider soundstage.
@@kramermorton3034 I thought that was going to be the case. I have the hyperboom and both the boombox 1 and 2. The Hyperboom has a great mid to upper bass but it just cant hit as low as the boombox 1 and 2. The boombox 2 gets crazy deep. There is this deep bass meditation song i like to play on my RSL speedwoofer. None if my Bluetooth speakers are capable of going low enough to produce that low frequency. the hyperboom cant play it at all. However the boombox 2 was able to play the deep bass tones surprisingly well which honestly shocked me. The boombox 1 barley played the deep bass tones. I compared the bass on all 3 speakers for about 3 hours and the boombox 2 defiantly beats the hyperboom in bass and clarity. whenever i would switch back to the hyperboom it was quieter and just not quite as impressive. those 4 inch woofers are putting in some work and to me are out preforming the 4.5 inch woofers in the hyperboom.
ALEX LITTIG thatâs really helpful. Do you still feel the same?
i can clearly hear the differences nut in this case i would go for the GTK XB 60 because it is cheaper and it has more of the bass elements... but it is not more easier to transport but for the quality sound i would go anywhere with it (i have done a comparison myself....my friend has a boombox 2 and i have a GTK XB60)
Xb60 is way better
I bought one âđŒ itâs great !!
I bought my Boombox 1 for 278 bucks and seems like a good deal.
Looks like I'll be sticking with my original boombox...
Lmao same, how does JBL even consider this an upgrade
Benramin Prarmin itâs because some people donât have the boombox yet. Some people just wait for new models to come out before buying.
me too
The boombox one and the boombox two are not compatible together. If you already own a boombox one and youâre looking to add the improved boombox to, please know you cannot use party mode linking the two together. This is important and you failed to mention that at 3:04. I learned the hard way after a half hour on the phone with JBL
Keen to buy JBL boombox 2; It's gonna be my first portable speaker with passive radiator.
Just came across a comment on the internet that while aboard, flight cabin pressure could cause damage to the PRs or the water proofing on any speaker that has PR, although no solid evidence..
@GYMCADDY : Could you please advise whether there is such possibility?. Thanks!
He also forgets to mention First gen boombox can be used in a pool or river and has built in mic for making or taking calls whereas second gen is just water resistant splash and doesn't have built-in mic
My original boombox is just so good i dont need to upgrade..its just to make money on nothing really upgraded that much at all..plus you can still use fireware to upgrade the original. Not that i need too!!
I found boombox 2 on sale 179 euros, i was thinking to place it to sauna(floor). Should be worth it for this price? Thanks for the answers in advance!
Great review...very informative and well done!
What do you recommend to get? I have the old jbl xtreme and would like to pair it with something else
I've replied to you on one of your other comments
It will only connect to a not updated charge 3, pulse 2 and flip 3
How is it even possible to sell a 500 dollar music box that completley blew my mind away and then find out you can't lower the d*mm bass? Please JBL wake up and ad an equalizer.......or give people their money back!!
The boombox 1 is 20w per woofer and 40w total power and boombox 2 is 30w per woofer and 60w max but it is louder than 60w
