    This is the JBL Boombox 2
 its the latest and largest party boost speaker in JBL’s 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.

    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.

    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!

      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.

    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.

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!

      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. There’s no way you can get 2x40w from a 7.4v battery in the boom box 2 nor even 2x30w as advertised.

    I’m 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 can’t 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 “upgrading” until the 3 or my current JBL falls to pieces.

    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.

    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. They’re way too large and expensive to be running such low numbers and both use dual 4 inch high excursion woofers so there’s 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.

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.
