Review on Portable Acoustics JBL Boombox 2, 80 W, black by Siu Li ᠌

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Not a bad product, but you can find better.

Equalizer and could not achieve a satisfactory sound. The sound is like a bucket no matter how you twist it with a 12-band equalizer. HF are completely absent. What are 2 speakers, what is 1 speaker, if you leave the room and there is no bass right away. I didn’t ate the firmware on purpose, because the bass disappears on the new one (people come to the beach, turn on the speaker at full power and the amplifier, not designed for such work, burns out, now they have limited the power on pseudo-lows in the new firmware). The speakers are original, I took for 20220 each. JBL, as always, sells old junk for an overprice. Nothing changes in this world.

Pros
  • Pseudo basses. No power. You can listen indoors and not disturb anyone. The absence of the APTX codec allows you not to transmit the top and make the connection more long-range.
Cons
  • Old ferrite speakers weighing a ton could put neodymium lungs for that price. After all, the speaker is portable, why carry such a weight if there are better technologies? An external power supply could be installed inside. Against the background of 6 kg of the weight of old ferrite magnets, no one will replace it, but it will not be lost and you can save on the wire. Unlike real acoustics, which operate at a low volume and the bass from which is felt by the body, in this acoustics, pseudo-bass (yes, with one letter "C") disappear immediately after leaving for another room. PartyBoost mode when pairing two BoomBox2 works in MONO mode. If there are two JBL speakers, forget about stereo. It's not their forte.

With its pros. Good sound Water protection Ability to network with other JBLs Autonomy 24 hours Cons: The design is too "cool", not concise. Color only black and camouflage. I had to take the black one home. Not enough white and other JBL colors
