I do not cease to rejoice at the purchase, a very good deal!

I really wanted a portable speaker. Well, before the holidays I decided to pick up something for myself. I felt and compared different versions of JBL'ek: Flip, Charge, Pulse of different versions. After listening to Extreme (1st version), the desire to take the above disappeared. But since there was only a demo version of JBL Extreme on the window (thanks to the sellers for refusing to sell it to me). As a result, I took it without listening to Extreme 2. Actually about the choice never…

Pros
  • - Very good sound for this format (and in stereo mode, it's generally beautiful); - Combining two identical columns in stereo mode (I am generally silent about combining up to a hundred columns in party mode); - Waterproof (you can listen to music in the shower); - Conveniently worn on a belt; - Passive side speakers i. E. lack of direct access to active speakers - the impossibility of damaging them with crooked hands; - Fits well in a backpack.
Cons
  • - When carrying without a belt, it is easy to press the buttons; - Not very convenient form for carrying without a belt; - Slightly booming bass in some cases (depending on the geometry of the room); - Lack of a built-in carrying handle (this is a disadvantage for me personally). In other matters, I plan to cut down the pen in the near future (who needs to make it - look for #Slowpoke3D).

No complaints, I recommend to buy.

A compromise solution with decent sound for your money in a protected format. There is something to strive for both in hardware and in software (for example, adding an equalizer to JBL Connect +), but it’s already very, very good. Got pros: Easy to connect and use, high-quality assembly, overall good sound. Waterproof, easy pairing, brutal laconic design. Has cons: Surprisingly less suitable for music with a lot of bass and drums, starts to mumble. Vocals and light instrumental go with a bang…

Not a bad purchase, worth the money.

My opinion - it would be better if the speakers were more expensive and minus unnecessary water protection. Then Hi-Fi lovers would say thank you. Install the JBL app, you can arrange a party mode (if BT and the players themselves do not lag, it will be good) ! There is also a secret and less lag bypass mode (for connoisseurs of sound, maybe someone will like it more): hold it down for 16 seconds, PRESSING THE BT and "minus" buttons SIMULTANEOUSLY. the system will flash the indicators. You…

Pros
  • Build quality, a huge power bank with a speaker function, and also theoretically unsinkable (do not try to check it), what if the plug is not closed tightly enough? Acoustics is definitely for lovers of loud "Ounts-unts", "pump" something, garage, nature gatherings, etc. With a full charge, portability and volume for a day is enough for everyone!
Cons
  • The sound is like a wax plug in the ears or as if you are listening from the headphones yourself. Water protection! And the biggest drawback is the cutoff in signal level (via AUX). You watch a quiet movie - and the sound disappears. You have to add at the source and subtract at the column. Really annoying at times. In the course of use, another drawback surfaced: compression and sound processing introduces its own delay, about 50-60 ms minimum, so let’s say you can’t connect a guitar, synthesizer or mixer to it. That's why I sold it.

Feel free to buy, for such a price, the quality is simply amazing.

Extremely comfortable and good speaker for a stylish party. Dolbit perfectly and cheerfully. Pros below: Surround sound, excellent bass, in general sounds very confident at low and medium frequencies. Very mobile, but for the weakest it can be heavy. One speaker, with the right location, can easily fill the room with its sound, and with a margin. Different cons: It does not pull out high frequencies, if your music has high frequencies, then in theory you can take a similar Sony. The sound in…

The quality is at the highest level, be sure to try it.

My daughter has the same, before restyled, I did not notice the difference, the sound for such a column is excellent. Chose dark dirty blue, in our opinion the most interesting! You can connect it to a TV via a wafer, not a home theater, of course, but the sound is definitely better at times native, and if the signal is in digital, then it’s generally a buzz). I recommend to buy!

Pros
  • Sound
Cons
  • Yes, they are not!

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Excellent quality, absolutely not expected for such a price.

after half a year of use at maximum volume, the speaker began to hiss a little. not critical, but noticeable especially when you watch a movie or some kind of video and the sound goes through the speaker. perhaps influenced by the fact that I often listened at full volume, including in winter. Akum is powerful. holds the declared 15 hours of work without recharging

Pros
  • deep bass excellent mids and highs powerful battery great volume build quality comfortable belt
Cons
  • No

I am satisfied with the product, I recommend it to everyone.

If someone considers my comment to be advertising, I will say that I am writing such a comment that is important to me, and I have no benefit from Sony, except for a cool column. I would be happy to recommend KRK, but alas, they are wired, and driving with a generator into nature is not fun for everyone. I indicated them as my preferences in sound and in the manufacturer's park. Headphones - sinheiser) jbl at the son, simpler)

Pros
  • I must say right away that I chose a different column - although I myself have a good attitude towards jbl products. I am writing this review because I read other reviews and almost bought jbl. I listened to her, yes she is loud, yes there is bass, but the upper, middle and lower ones seem to be all in a bunch. There was a Sony speaker nearby, I listened to it and the difference is colossal. I just recommend listening to the sony srs-xb43 and comparing and taking what YOU like more and not listening to those who say "I understand sound .". At home, I have KRK speakers (I have 8, but this is already powerful and the hall is large), and Sony srs-xb43 gave preference to wireless ones. By the way, I compared 2 friends, they also liked Sony more. Just compare yourself if the sound is really important to you and you want everything to please you. By the way, there is a comparison of xtreame and Sony on YouTube. Watch, listen and make the right choice.
Cons
  • preferred Sony srs-xb43

Some minuses and no pluses, do not buy.

Of the pros: Compact and stable placed on the table, the sound is excellent and it is noticeably better than the jbl flip5. Connection via bluetooth and without wires, built-in microphone with noise reduction, I bought this model only because of the presence of a built-in microphone for the conference, and if it weren’t for this problem, then everything would be 5k, and so money wasted. I'll take it back tomorrow. ps: with a return, a bummer, according to the manufacturer, the column is not…

Pros
  • bluetoorh connection and built-in microphone, high-quality sound
Cons
  • The speaker itself goes into sleep mode, the power button starts flashing, the sound and microphone disappear. All this happens at 25-29 minutes of Skype or zoom conversation, only turning the speaker off and on or reconnecting the bluetooth connection helps. During the conference, this is a complete kyu. Tried to connect to the laptop, the problem is the same. Another of the minuses, no one picks up the phone on the offsite by the support number. Sent an email describing the problem, no response. 0 points for customer support. ps: I got through to support, their answer, the column is not designed to connect to PCs and laptops. And why a microphone, if it is not intended for a PC, and on the phone the microphone is not connected as hands free. ps: I ated the firmware to 2.6.0., the microphone does not work at all anymore, it does not appear in the devices, reset it to the factory settings, it appeared again, but the problem persisted. Some kind of nonsense, the new firmware simply turned off the microphone, there is no microphone and there is no problem. The software is generally raw, there is no column on the S10, it was found on the iphone11.

The right product for me, there were no problems.

I use the 1st and 2-Xtreme and in my opinion the 1st plays "more soundly" and the bass on the 1st Xtreme is meatier! It makes no sense to overpay for Xtreme-2. 2 months have passed. I decided to add a comment. For all those who continue to think that the JBL Xtreme-2 plays quieter than the first Xtreme. After warming up the speakers, the speaker "came to the level". although earlier was skeptical about "warm-ups" . the volume is absolutely identical to the first, but the quality is much better,

Pros
  • Liked the build quality and looks. Thickened carrying strap.
Cons
  • Sound compared to 1st Xtreme

Great product, best quality.

I bought a used version, when removing the casing, I found that the paralons were half torn off, the speakers were dirty, but not crumpled, although this is a plus, and the worst thing is a CRACK, not very big, not noticeable, but, when immersed in a warm bath, I found that there are bubbles, water can get inside, but there are wires with a winding so that they don’t screw up, and this can hold water, not full water protection provides only splash protection, and there was almost no point in…

Pros
  • The sound, it is beautiful, the basses are very powerful, loud and of high quality, for me this is very important, because I really like fat bass. Appearance: 1 Xtreme I don’t know why, but it infuriates the appearance, it’s some kind of ancient, I took Xtreme 2 by 50% only because of the external fork, water protection also played a role, it’s useless, but somehow it’s cool to have water on the column protection, loudness, on lfm the sound extends to 50-150 meters, for such a baby it is surprising, if there is an echo, the sound is up to 200 meters, but it is very quiet, without bass.
Cons
  • Sometimes the bass is weaker, it is very noticeable on the LFM, I check it at 1 hz, if the speakers do not move, then you need to reboot, I think this is due to the fact that it is used, or marriage, which is quite typical for JBL.

Reliable purchase, guaranteed to be a good purchase.

I recommend to buy. The battery capacity is the same, nothing actually changed. In addition to the appearance, tweeters, and IPX7 water resistance. Different pros: I bought this column in amazon for a very good price! The sound quality is amazing! Listening to this speaker at home, you can not only enjoy good quality sound and very deep bass, but also treat your neighbors. But nature is certainly not a house, it is an open space. But even in nature, this speaker behaves no worse than 1 extreme,

Well done, but I won't buy any more.

Satisfied with everything, except for the unpleasant policy of lack of backward compatibility with previously released speakers. And most importantly - why? A sort of spit in the soul from a reputable company. For this - minus a star. With its pros. Excellent sound, holds a charge for a long time, can charge the phone, the presence of aux (you can connect any phone or player through a 3.5mm jack). With its cons. New connection protocol with jbl columns. Will only work with speakers that came…

A great option for this money, one of the best offers.

Needless to say, JBL and Harman never cease to amaze. About 10 years ago, I could not have imagined that such a small (relatively) speaker could produce such a sound. Both in terms of volume and quality, density, bass, and so on. Of course, this is not a sound standard, but the main thing is that it does not overload, does not crack at high volume, and all instruments remain readable. The representative of the class of the population who collects the school bag and (perhaps) does the homework…

Pros
  • Sound, mobility, autonomy.
Cons
  • The arc for the belt does not actually go through the entire column with a ring, look at the reviews. Not that it would be annoying, but it is somewhat misleading to the buyer, creating an allusion to a holistic design that can withstand significant loads.

Marshal plays, of course, better. And with this column in any adventure! Although on the water, even at a height, even in frost, even above the clouds! Campfires until dawn are no problem on a single charge. And for 2500 meters, these 2.5 kg are not dragged into scrap and it’s very convenient for the sake of such a sound! A special pleasantness is when a friend has a colleague with the connect + standard. Connecting even a small Flip4 makes the sound MUCH better! It's a pity that JBL changes…

Pros
  • Sound, form factor, reliability. Serves faithfully for 2.5 years, plays either in nature or in the kitchen - but every day! The battery is holding up great so far!
Cons
  • Charger! Only original 19v from the mains. If gatherings and adventures in nature are delayed, this will definitely become a problem. Somehow, a friend of a musician offered a "similar" charge from his wealth (what will it be! 19v and 19v in Africa) - and that's how we killed the charge controller . After that, the speaker began to charge slowly for 6 hours. And a year later, the original charger died from careful handling (the wire just frayed at the place of its attachment to the box) - as a result, I dismantled the charge, found damage to the wire, stuck it with electrical tape and left it like that . Everything works, everything has been charging for many years. And in the service, 10 thousand were redeemed for the repair of the controller and a new original charge - he refused, because. this amount was equal to the cost of a new column!

But after ating to version 2.0, it began to play, the volume increased and began to really bass (what is in the corner of the room or kitchen, what is on the street)))))) Definitely recommend, after flip4 heaven and earth. Worth 13,000, definitely. Has pros: Build quality, sound and looks. ate boldly (he was afraid at first) in amazon they say that you will fly off the guarantee. When ating via jbl connect, the warranty remains unchanged (jbl representatives said so) Its cons: With firmware…

I am satisfied with the device for this money and I do not see any competitors for myself yet. Definitely better than any Xiaomi and others that I used. With its pros. Excellent form factor and device capabilities - it can also work as a conference call device :) mobile enough to carry around the house or cottage. You can take it for a walk in the forest (if by car). Very well built, holds a charge for a long time. Plays smoothly at both low and high levels. You can charge your phone from it…

Everything in the product suited me, the price is generally perfect.

Decent device. Long chose, stopped there. Do not expect some awful sound from a speaker that can be under water, work in the rain. It was created in order to listen to music in nature or in the yard with a barbecue, when, by and large, the main thing is to rock. With this task, the device accurately copes. For 11-12 thousand High End sound can not be bought. Aspen will not produce oranges.

Pros
  • Good device. Made qualitatively, the sound shakes.
Cons
  • I did not have high expectations, so there is no disappointment.

Not perfect quality, there is a small defect.

Good speaker, but with the release of the next similar model, JBL changed the version of Bluetooth, which makes it impossible to connect the previous and new model together, from which the whole feature of this brand of speakers disappears. With the same success, you can take Sony, which are not inferior in quality. Its pros: Great sound. Good protection against external influences. Some cons: Sometimes buggy when pairing with the phone, you have to connect the charger to fix this problem.

Not all that bad, but there are minuses.

And it’s not very suitable as a portable speaker (it’s heavy, it’s uncomfortable to wear because of its size, and there are few inputs) and it’s not suitable as a stationary speaker on a permanent basis, because. it’s not easy to come up with a place for her on a computer desk and not connect it to a TV. There is a lack of treble and bass controls. I don't like high bass. I do not recommend to buy. Better look towards compact speakers if you need portability.

Cons
  • Bulky, heavy, did not like the design in the form of a "bar"

Revainrating 2 out of 5

I did not like it, I do not advise buying.

The column was bought more than a year ago, for me, an ordinary layman, of course, everything is super in terms of sound and bass and volume + the very fact that it is portable and holds a charge for a long time. This, of course, despite the fact that I don’t use it very often, rather, even rarely and not with all the functionality (I don’t throw it into the pool)) And everything seems to be super, BUT! for some reason, AUX works crookedly, but for me this is an integral thing, i. E. the sound…

Pros
  • Sound, ease of use, volume
Cons
  • AUX!
