JBLXtreme 2, Waterproof Portable Bluetooth Speaker, Black

I had been using an old Dewalt worksite speaker for a number of things for years. It served it's purpose but was rather cumbersome for the nature of what I used it for so I was in the market for a nice rechargeable bluetooth speaker. Well my son has a smaller JBL bluetooth speaker that he has been very happy with bit I needed a louder one for my purposes. One of which is for a planning committee for a retreat where we use a lot of music that has to be listened to and voted in. It was kind of a hassle to lug the Dewalt along with the tote and other stuff I had to take then find a spot to plug the Dewalt in. This Speaker has made that process so much easier. I use the strap and carry I like a purse, freeing my hands up to carry the other stuff, saving me a trip from my car to our meeting spot! Also, I no longer have to use the cord from my phone for the sound! Also, we watch a lot of movies in the yard on a projector that had the 3mm jack and Bluetooth. Now I just use the bluetooth with this handy speaker. I was also able to take this speaker out on a pontoon where we all like to jump off into the river and swim. This thing had zero issue with water occasionally dripping off of us and it took up little space on the pontoon and made our trip so much more fun with music! It holds a charge for a long time, even turned all the way up! I have not used it in durations as to completely sap the battery but I can say that one weekend, I used it for 2 hours turned all the way up at a music meeting, then the next evening for 3 hours turned all the way up watching a movie outside and when I went to charge it back up, the battery was only down 2 dots out of 5. The folks on our retreat are so happy with what they have seen so far from the functionality and sound of this speaker that we have been having fundraisers to save up for the party box and microphones to have for our actual retreat to replace our old, very cumbersome sound system. I love the quality of JBL speakers that I have experienced so far. In the short time I have had this, I am absolutely thrilled with it. The difference between lugging that old worksite speaker and this little, potent thing is like night and day. Also, some of our work vehicles no longer have working radios and I even take it to work sometimes when in those vehicles and have music to make the work day less dreadful. I really hope there is a good sale on the party boxes so we can get one for our retreat in the spring. We are saving up!

Had this xtreme 2 for over 2+ years now .. and still no sign of age, problems, or decline of health, still super long battery life per charge, waterproof AND dust proof. Taken this speaker up a mountain with atv’s many many times and no dust, mud, or water damage. Taken many hard hits right on rocks and concrete. Worth every penny, great looking speaker for the value, incredible JBL sound quality big speaker and the shoulder straps practically make it so it’s not even there. The connect + feature is outstanding and awesome to party with friends with other (older models). However one flaw is the connect+ system won’t pair with the party boost with the new jbl’s, tested it with my buddy’s xtreme 3 and it didn’t pair, which isn’t a huge issue, just buy the older models if you want multiple devices playing at once. Overall incredible speaker for the price, great performance.. great sound quality. Definitely worth buying the xtreme 2. (I highly recommend buy it brand new for best quality, performance, and durability)

This is a great portable blue-tooth speaker, JBL delivers quality sound for a good price. The highs and lows sound good and the battery life is respectable. Its a durable speaker, it connects really quickly to any blue-tooth capable device and itlooks good for its size. Probably waterproof, I haven't tried dipping it in water but I keep it near the shower.

This speaker is great. I use it at my in ground pool while swimming. Only problem is many of JBL’s speakers have an eq in their app but not for the extreme 2. Sound quality is great, very loud and powerful. Connects to phone fast and easy. Love the phone connection this has, my phone will ring through it and I can use the built in mic to talk through it. It is built well and strong.

This thing can play music for the whole neighborhood I feel like! Ok, maybe not quite that loud, but it is a powerful speaker. It seems to be high quality, durable and has a sleek design. Great sound, easy to connect to and does exactly what we were hoping for! Highly recommend!
