Big, No wi-fi or multi-room, Presentation too grown-up for some,
The JBL Xtreme 2 is not what it seems. Often that means a product is worse than expected, but this time it's a pleasant surprise. This is a portable boombox speaker with JBL's signature side-loaded passive radiators. Every inch of it screams ‘big bass', b...

I am a fan of JBL Bluetooth speakers and the sound they produce as well as the build quality. In terms of build quality, this speaker is well built with the exception of the vulnerable speakers on each end that are covered by a soft membrane.I have used i...

If you're looking for your next party speaker, look no further. It isn't perfect, but the Xtreme 2 nails the most important aspects of a tough Bluetooth speaker...
Boomy bass, JBL Connect app is rudimentary; should offer EQ
The JBL Xtreme 2 is an excellent portable Bluetooth speaker. Setup is a snap, and it sounds surprisingly good for such a small speaker, though the bass can be quite boomy. I wish the JBL Connect app included EQ (even if only simple treble and bass control...
