Review on JBL Xtreme 2 Portable Waterproof Wireless Bluetooth Speaker - Red (Renewed) by Nguyen Tuan Bao ᠌

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Normal quality, you can use it.

So, let's begin. I became the proud owner of this device before 2022 NG. Before that, since the summer there is jbl charge 3. In general Xtreme 2 - it does not play badly, there is a pronounced bass, mids, excellent design. BUT! anything further is killing: 1. It is very conditionally portable, because it cannot be charged with a regular PowerBank with micro USB. It is charged from a power supply, the same size as in laptops and only from 220V! and this is the real problem! Those. in nature, it is enough at a volume of 90% for about 4.5-5.5 hours . and that's it. further in 220V and 3 hours to full charge. It has a micro-USB connector - but it is for firmware ! That's why? if by bluetooth it is perfectly stitched through the JBL application. Well, do you charge via usb, albeit slow. In general, if you take it for nature where there is no 220V and you plan to dance and sing for more than 6 hours, it is not for you. 2. Volume. Here I have no less questions (in general, I’ll somehow shoot a video with sound level meter readings (this is a program for Android). So I compare it with jbl charge 3 which, let me remind you, is 20W of power. And you know what I'll say: Well, that's not the earth and the sky, well, no. Yes, the Xtreme 2's bass is deeper. when plugged in. But not 2 (two!) times. Not 20 and 40 watts respectively. So you listen to charge 3 (20W) and think like that - I’ll go buy Xtreme 2 - and in general there will be a bomb, and here you will be disappointed . it is louder, according to my feelings, by 15-20% maximum, and in some songs it doesn’t matter at all . The noise measurement program on the androyd on both columns on the same songs shows an average of 75-78 db. I understand that the measurement method is not accurate, but it also looks like the difference between them is not big. And here's another thing, I read that it seems like when it works more bass from the network. I probably agree with this, although you also need to listen to hear the difference. I read here that it is necessary to warm up . maybe it will become louder . over time. I'll write back for the summer. Who is looking for a power bank for extreme 2 - TopON TOP-T72 battery
