  • When I got the XP 500 the box was damaged but the speaker was fine but it sounds best if you keep it plugged in cuz running off its internal battery it don't get as loud relative to its size so it sounds fine just mainly want to use it while it's plugged in

    The JBL Xtreme 2 is old but it's still a solid pickup if you want to save money it gets more than loud enough and if you plug it in you will actually get a performance bump it will get a little louder and push out a little bit more Bass now it's overall sound signature the mint sounds fine they could use a little bit of work but it sounds good enough to get the job done the highs doesn't sound Sharp and overall it has a balanced listening experience doesn't sound too muffled or too bright sounds balanced with clean base in a shoulder strap with a built-in bottle opener for the soft drinks a great speaker to take on the go while still being portable and large take the extreme2 on your next adventure

    5.0 out of 5 stars So Amazing - How did I live without this???

    This does not sound like a portable speaker, it sounds like a stereo system. We use this on our patio, by the pool. Not only does it fill the OUTDOOR space with full rich DEEP sound, we don’t worry about it getting wet! Bluetooth connection is so easy I don’t even remember doing it. Battery life is amazing too. The carrying strap is high quality, but a bit long. We bought an aftermarket handle that fixes that. I’ve been a car stereo nut all my life, and I know what a full frequency response sounds like, and most portables do not represent the lower ends at all. I’m sure an audiophile would say this has too much bass, but it’s necessary for an outdoor speaker to feel balanced. Even if this was you living room stereo, it would be every bit as good as a high-watt component system. Even better, we bought a refurbished unit at a steep discount, so the value was phenomenal. Best portable outdoor speaker I’ve ever heard, you will never regret buying this amazing little beast!

    I purchased this as a "renewed" item, for the price break. Previously, I've owned some smaller, less expensive Bluetooth speakers, but have found them to be generally 'tinny' and lacking in bass. Some have had difficulty maintaining a connection via Bluetooth as well. The JBL Extreme 2 has none of those faults. I took it camping with friends the first weekend after receiving it. Playing music at half to 3/4 volume, we used it for about 8-9 hours in total, and it was down from 5 battery indicator lights to 4. . . .much better than I expected. I work in a manufacturing environment, and the speaker is powerful enough to be heard over a nearby sanding booth, air-powered drills, and so forth in the vicinity. In fact, a few of my co-workers are openly jealous of the thing. The sound quality is excellent as well, as long as you're not expecting the sort of bass you'd get from a 10" bass driver. It's rich, and full.

    The carry strap is a nice touch, although I find myself toting it around protectively in the crook of my arm for the most part. As a result, my wife calls it the "sound baby". I have not had the opportunity (if that's the right word) to test the claimed water resistance, but based on the other reviews here, I have little reason to doubt the claim. The ability to use it to charge other devices (phones etc.) is extremely handy, especially on camping trips and the like.

    I have been keeping my eye out for a good water proof speaker. I found this one. Let me start by saying that I own a pair of Klipsch KG4's and a Harmon Kardon Onyx studio 3 and a Sonos and Bose speakers. So I have heard a lot of sound come out of fairly decent quality speakers. But none of them are water proof. This JBL has about the same volume range as the Onyx 3 which is more than enough. The bass is okay, if you set the speaker in a corner of the room the bass will be more pronounced but overall its decent for the size. The main reason I bought the speaker was to take out on the pontoon boat, It was perfect. As soon as we parked at the beach I threw it off the side of the boat, It floats. I ran about 3/4 volume unplugged for about 4 hours and the battery indicator lights still showed full charge, impressive. At the 3/4 volume the speakers could easily be herd 40 feet away. If you want it louder then you will have to plug it in to get the max wattage. I even used the USB on the speaker to charge my phone. Overall a great experience. I would say the speaker is worth around the $200 range, its not a $300 speaker. So buying it refurbished is great! Still comes with enough of a warranty to check that all the buttons work and the battery holds a good charge. If not send it back and try again! That is my review.

    This speaker works well whether you want to play study music at low volume or put it on the counter for a party. Yes, the bass sounds great and makes the music sound fuller than most other speakers I've heard. I haven't poured water over it but I've had it moderately splashed on occasion, no change in functionality from what I've seen. Battery life is decent; you only really need to charge after using it for 2+ hours at a "loud" volume.
