The JBL Xtreme 2 is a jumbo-sized Bluetooth speaker that trades light and easy portability for much fuller sound, both indoors and outdoors.

The JBL Xtreme 2 Bluetooth speaker delivers very big sound for a medium-sized portable Bluetooth speaker; It's fully waterproof, can charge devices from a built-in USB-out port (you supply the cable), has a built-in microphone for speakerphone calls

A little pricey; Its slightly treble push can make the speaker sound a little too bright and edgy at high volumes.

With great sound and a versatile design, this is the best outdoor speaker of the summer

Multipurpose design; Incredibly loud; Impressive sound quality;

No virtual assistant built in; Expensive;

Mini speakers tend to get an oversized amount of attention in the Bluetooth audio landscape. That's because people tend to like highly portable speakers that deliver relatively big sound for their tiny size but don't cost too much. JBL's Xtreme 2 ($300, £250, AU$350), the next generation of the company's well-regarded jumbo portable Bluetooth speaker, is a whole other beast.

JBL has delivered a durable waterproof speaker capable of big sound with the Xtreme 2 . Between the sound quality, battery life, and extra features you can't really go wrong with it. However, it's also a bit on the pricey side starting at $300 and most likely out of many people's price range.

Grymmt sound! And ver 2.0 made the sound nice on battery power!

I bought my JBL Extreem 2 speaker and i am very happy for the purchase i made. A small portable wireless speaker that is easy to store when going on road trips and just plain beautiful when sitting in the house on its own being "extremely" loud and and proud. Boom! Boom! Boom!

The JBL Xtreme 2 is a party speaker, through and through. It sounds best at high volumes and when placed in the middle of the party (or the room). There is an app, but you don't really have to mess with it.

REVIEW – Over the past 2 years, I have tested and reviewed a few Bluetooth speakers. I love the portability and convenience they provide. The previous Bluetooth speaker that I reviewed was made by JBL, and I really like it.

Build quality; Waterproof feature; Overall sound produced; Connectivity; Carry strap option

Needs a charging indicator LED; Needs more volume; Hard grill protection over the speakers; Better user guide
