The JBL Xtreme 2 is finally here! And for the most part the JBL Xtreme 2 is a refined JBL Xtreme. And over all the JBL Xtreme 2 is a good speaker... but personally I did expect a little more. Even though the JBL Xtreme 2 sounds better, has an IPX7 certification, and JBL Connect Plus I would have liked if the JBL Xtreme 2 had a better battery life, an out doors mode button like the JBL Boombox, and maybe even quick charging.

Telling us what time to skip to if we don’t wanna watch the whole audio test. Means a lot. Thanks for the amazing reviews keep it up!!
Time is money
GYMCADDY haha 😂
Michael Schubert hey awesome review!
Thanks for the great reviews!!! Please tell me the Xtreme 2 vs XB41? Please Please!!! Ready to buy today?
spechtacular1 if u want accurate, nearly hifi sound, go for the Xtreme 2..
those complaining about battery, please stop. i have a jbl go which lasts 5 hours :(
i love it though.
davocreative lol yo my lil go used to thump ! Everyone on the block was like damn yo your lil ass speaker way louder and more bass than mine . I use to make beats on it too but it stopped charging for me 😩
Same here
The jbl go is the perfect little speaker even with 1/3 of the battery of the xtreme 2 it is a good little speaker.
I love my jbl extreme 2. I’ll be closing at work and I’ll crank it.
2:00 it's a security feature so the strap doesn't come off... i thought it was quite clever
true!
I actually came here to see the beer bottle opener feature being tested. So satisfied!
Hey did you hear about the new firmware update for the JBL Xtreme 2? It makes the speaker louder and cleaner sounding!
Jordan Bluse actually?
yeah if u got it, update it through the jbl connect app on your phone
@@jordanbluse1600 cool thanx for that
Hi guys i was wondering, if its a con that the Xtreme needs to be charged with an adapter instead of USB.
I mean... i cant charge it with for example a Powerbank or a USB port in a car.
@@RifetOkic yes it has an own charger
Make an update with the new firmware? I hear it sounds a lot better now.
That clipping works fine for me, mine hangs mostly at 15 meters height.
Again a very detailed review that covers everyting. From the size of the speakers to the size of the charger
Is does have an outdoor mode. Hold the volume + putting down and power button at same time for 10 seconds
Song name : SARTELL-Those Nights
Fantastic, Thanks!!!
An EQ setting on the phone will fix the need for an outdoors mode on the Xtreme 2.
It’s the perfect portable size with a massive quality output even on the high end of the volume spectrum it gives absolute no distortion, heck if you want the speaker to go even louder, leave it connected to the wall through the charging port and it’ll give it more juice making way louder! Regardless best speaker hands down for its price, size, & quality. Admit the JBL boom box is preposterous, bulky and mainly aimed towards larger gatherings making less versatile.
I just received one for Christmas I’m satisfied 😊
I just bought the jbl exreme 2 and I am very happy with to. The sound quality is fantasic and great bass that I like so much.
I just bought a Clip 3 and Xtreme 2 (my first 2 bluethooth speakers ever) and I expected more from the Xtreme 2 but the Clip 3 has such good sound for that small size
I luv my extreme 2 my music never sounded so good. Very balanced frequencies overall. Don't think I will ever replace this speaker. It is perfection for me.
yes I enjoyed the video, u maid your point perfectly clear and I totally agree. I was mainly looking for to the rumor about it being 50 watts and definitely was looking forward to it having a slightly better battery / life. But better sound, connect plus, water proof and more pleasing design definitely good enough for me! I don't give a dam that it's missing one extra charging port l as I only use the external battery feature in times of emergency plus I have several others that have the same feature but yeah awesome review dude I'm looking for to mine arriving in the mail I have the forest green I'm looking for to getting a second 1 next year in that midnight blue! Two xtreme 2s and a boom Box will be awesome and I bet the xtreme 2s will get louder in stereo mode!
Lydon Lewis DoUbLeZz Bro, totally agree. The powerbank function is more of a last resort thing for me so I wouldn't even need 2 of them. Your setup is gonna look and sound dope!
Spelled made wrong "maid"
And this was edited rip
Old *maid
I returned my Xtreme 2. Sounded great but the max volume was disappointing. Bought the Boombox and got exactly what I needed.
Mike Gomez do you think getting two Xtreme2 would have compensated?
Hayden well i dont know if it gets louder with 2 speakers, but shouldnt it be logical if it did? If 1 person screams at lets say 100db and another guy joins in with 100db, should they get louder than the one guy at the start?
@@MisionTerceraCanaria yes i have 2 its fking destroyng
So by that logic, a stadium full of people screaming at 100 decibels each would sound the same as one person screaming at 100 decibels?
@@brickmaster2k844 2 speakers (the some loudness) will be 6 dB louder than one
I like the review and the filming. Audio though... try voice over like you do at some points. I’m liking your reviews though
Awesome review! Just got mine last week! I agree with you, I feel its a little low outdoors but hey we can't have it all right?
Awesome review dude keep it up and i love your vids they help out a lot!!!!!! p.s can you do charge 3 vs flip 4?????
I loved this review (listening in headphones that you recommended) and the music choice was great thanks :)
this is a quality review man keep that up!
A refined jbl xtreme would be called xtreme plus and externally the only difference would be a waterproof flap and in terms of software it would have connect plus
Could you please tell me what equipments you use to film all of your youtube videos? Please and thanks!
Great review. Very informative and just good info to know. Thanks!
The first JBL I got was a GO 2. Then I bought a flip 4. Then for this Christmas I got a Charge 4.The Flip 4 and the Charge 4 make a great combo with JBL Connect+. I don't think I need an Xtreme or a Boombox. I am happy with what I have.
Why would it be only for soft drinks? In most of Europe and especially in Germany you're allowed to drink alcoholics on the street if you want.

Salve .volevo sapere se per caso si rompe un.altoparlante del jblxtreme 2 oppure un.passivo si possono sostituire? E se si..dove li trovo?
Wish the volume was better. I like the construction and the easy Bluetooth sync. Battery life is incredible.
Good review! I was waiting for JBL extreme 2 release and now I'm not quite sure if I want this speaker anymore.. as tbh I also expected a bit more. Would you recommend this as a purely home speaker?
It was proven in a video done by Clavinetjunkie, that a "break-in" has no positive effect on the sound. From his measurements, there was even more distortion after he did his break in, while the tuning remained virtually unaltered.
Jonathon Wiechmann its possible it was his unit who knows! Cant believe that dude actually broke and Xtreme 2 in a test lol
Break in can be different on every speaker
DerTechnikKanal On 2 of the same speaker though, that wouldn't be correct. All Xtreme 2's use the same transducers, same amplifiers, same cabinet, and the same dsp. The only difference between one xtreme 2 and the next, is the sound. They are all tuned nearly the same, but there is a thing called sample variation that prevents the speakers from sounding identical to one another. However, this has nothing to do with the break-in. The only variation with break-ins is the difference between drivers. In this case, there is none.
prove it
Cuerex Now tell me, how am I going to do that over UA-cam comments?
There’s no latency watching UA-cam for me idk if ur speaker came broke or some shit but mine is fine
Your opinion is exactly the same as mine lmao, i also expected a little more, yes the audio improved, yes it has JBL Connect +, but the battery life, the nitt picky thing about the carrying strap and the indoor/outdoor mode were also expected to imrpove, tho they didn't.
Guess they'll get it right with the Xtreme 3 in 2020
I use low frequency mode and a Spotify eq and it’s equally loud to my $2000 Bose speaker. It’s like 3 times louder than normal mode with no eq. And it’s still sounds really good being 3 times as loud like it’s ridiculous
Braden perdue k so lfm is supposed to sound awful.
@@KB09706 you have been listening to to many audiophiles and people who dislike people using hidden features in the speaker
Great translation most reviews are not easy to follow 👍👍 I just subscribe to your channel..
Thanks for this. This video REALLY did help alot
love all your videos!
Still don’t get why it doesn’t have 360 degree sound. For the money and size it really should!
You are totally right!!i expect that the JBL Xtreme 2 has now 20 hours batterylife, but he still has 15 hours batterylife.
And the JBL Charge 3 is a smaller speaker but he has 20 hours batterylife!!
why did they dont upgrade it?!
And on CES they said "The new JBL Xtreme 2 has now 50W" but thats bullshit i have the JBL Xtreme 2 too but i expected more too.....
StijnGames yea I wanted a battery life upgrade but apparently nothing was finalized back then wich sucka, the randy guy specifically said from 40 watts to 50 watts! sigh
StijnGames I got burned because I sold my extreme 1....for this...ima rebuy the extreme 1...and save $100, it handle rain well enough to me..I wanted larger sound and or better battery OUTSIDE
yeah but the JBL Xtreme 2 (i have that JBL) isn't so bad its.... well..... okay! its much better with quality and bass is much deeper and better but for $100 more i expected more......
StijnGames I agree I'm glad the sound quality is much better I don't even listen to my speakers at maximum volume often and plus having so many of them (connect plus speakers) I wouldn't need to
I think it's okay (I don't own any of them) from what I've seen and hear. Indeed, I don't get why they didn't improve the battery life or why they didn't give it a little bit more power. Other than that, I think all the extra perks and features it comes with is definitely worth the purchase if I were to choose between either the Xtreme or the Xtreme2.
Hi Good afternoon from the UK l hope you are well. I am looking for a Bluetooth Speaker I was originally going to go for a Sony but I want one with an audio jack input so that would mean I could only go for the XB43. However the size and battery life has put me off. My next choice was the JBL Extreme 2 but your comments on Latency now prelude that as I will be watching videos with it. I want one that's waterproof as I will be taking it camping so what do your recommended? Is there anything that fits the bill? Thanks in advance.
I got the Xtreme, 2 after a week of use, probably 5 times used it wouldn’t power off. So i used till the battery dried then charged it again and then it wouldn’t turn on at all. Will return it and get something else. It’s only slightly louder than my charge 3. Yeah better sound quality but I don’t think it’s worth for the price difference.
The extreme 2 is waaaaay louder than the charge 3 lmao 😂☠️
you explain argument so gooooooood man i love your videos
How much? Two or Three 'Undred Ollers?
$$$ in GBP???
Great video. Sucks I don’t need a AC powered ‘wireless’ Bluetooth speaker. If it had full power unplugged I’d buy it
Very good review - thank you 👍
That was a great video. Thank you. I’m wondering if you know if the JBL extreme two can be linked with a flip 4?
The new firmware update makes the battery only mode sound almost as loud as the plugged in mode..
Hell yea cant wait finna have my 2 flip 4s, 2 charge 3s, 2 boomboxs and now the xtreme 2 all connected 😎
Eliazar Perez sweetness I have 2 charge 3s, a flip 4 a pulse 3 and a boombox, waiting for my first xtreme 2 gonna get the second next year!
Who needs that many speakers
Lydon Lewis DoUbLeZz hell yea i need the pulse 3 i actually collect them but i do use them... When im bored AF i use them all with an aux lol
Uganda Knuckles Knows Da Wey Uganda i actually collect them well only the jbl ones though lol
Eliazar Perez same, I collect aswell, love there style over most and the genre I listen most of the time sounds great on them
I'm happy with my Xtreme 2 regardless....Its personal preference at the end of the day!!!
...I'm glad you said that because I just bought one, haven't listened to it yet though...
@@dougbelford4796 is it loud outside?
@@andreasholmm to be honest, Im a little dissapointed in the lack of volume, although I like the sound quality. but i thought it would be louder.
@@andreasholmm extreme it is not.
@Doug Belford the volume is LOUDER if you play music while it is charging
I see you with the yeezys 🔥
I find it a bit ironic that I own and often wear a t-shirt, I ask myself, which one would Rick buy for blasting away space folk in an intergalactic purge?
I was so waiting for you to mention the clip thing, i hate it 2
I've got the Xtreme 1 and JBL certainly won't be getting my money for the price their asking for the version 2...JBL had all this time so they flatten the sound and say they want more mad money but yet when you take it out in the park against the the old Xtreme the old one is louder crazy if you have the old one folks hold on to it remember there's a thing called Equalizer it's on every phone standard adjust it with your speaker to suit your taste and save yourself alot of money!!!
I managed to grab an original extreme for $160 recently, i'm in the same boat.
Yeah I'm on craigslist & found a couple good deals on the xtreme 1, might just save $200 and get the original one.
I plan on getting the extreme 2 in a few days and I was wondering if I would hurt it if I played it at full volume before the break-in period is through
If there is much latency, how can it be used as dance learning and teaching.
i think what they mean about jbl xtreme 1 hardware limitations is that its not water proof its only splash proof so i guess thats the reason
Its almost 2x as expensive as the normal xtreme so buy that one
Thanks ! Hope made a match against the XB41 very soon ! keep going, great premiums videos reviews :D
Will the connect+ feature work on the JBL extreme 2 if the music source is via auxiliary Jack instead of bluetooth? My end goal is to connect 2 extreme 2 speakers to my TV but NOT use a Y adapter for connection. Make sense?
"its water proof to an extent" ...."and I also found that it floats" hahaha.
facts
I have this speaker and I have no issue with it you pay for what you get I have downloaded the equaliser app and it makes a lot of difference to the sound so
You can only get so much out of any speaker that's my opinion
I’ve had the Xtreme for 2 years and I just found out it was supposed to come with a strap, and I oddly knew exactly where that strap was even though it wasn’t in the box.
Fixed easily, use a 4-port hub and you'll get all you need out of it.
It’s a pitty that they had an update later wich made speaker a whole lot better and little louder wich was really an issue with this speaker. Now you have a lot of people who already reviewed the speaker wich make people think they shouldn’t go and get it because of lack in volume.
For the price I went with the w king d8. Actually I bought 2 for $160 for both and bought a protection plan for $8. They sound great paired together but I have to admit the extreme 2 does have a more refined sound. However not that much more refined!!!
It's a beer bottle opener built into the strap dork.
cant decide between charge 4 and xtreme 2.. my neighbours hate the bass but i love to hear loud music so would the charge 4 maybe be better?
You can’t have all the features of the other speakers on every JBL product or nobody would buy the others
GYMCADDY There is a new update for the Xtreme 2 through the mobile app. Can you let us know about that? Thanks and great video!
Hmmmm. Now that the Xtreme is down to 149, I should just get two of them.
I bought a JBL extreme 2 years ago and it recently died. Dead, battery tested fine. Something on the circuit board killed it. Anyone else have this problem??? I'm not sure what to buy next... help
Xtreme 2
Hands Down !
Sony has an equaliser to adjust treble and bass. Is there an option to adjust treble and bass on extreme2? Or any 3rd party apps to help?
If you have Spotify you must have an adjustable EQ no matter if you have Spotify premium or free
I got it too but my problem is that unlike the Xtreme 1 the Xtreme 2 isn't as powerful anymore if you play metal songs because there just isn't enough bass :/
Biggus Dickus yeah but the bass in the jbl xtreme is more clean and deep but not as punchy
Just use a equalizer to pump upp the base
Wrong, the JBL 2 doesn’t have all of the features that the JBL 1 has. Plus, if you decide to use it outside, the JBL 1 has an outdoor listening enhancement feature that the JBL 2 doesn’t have. Its extra size does give it a little more bass enhancement production, but minimal, and only noticed at lower volume. So for just a little bit of bass that you don’t even notice at higher volume from the JBL 2, and the fact that the JBL 2 doesn’t get as loud as the JBL 1, “especially outside,” it’s a no brainer to me that you would just stick with getting the JBL 1 and save yourself some money, because the change isn’t that significant of a difference to get the minimal upgraded version, only the price.
JBL extreme 1 battery issues sucks 😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐
I have a two JBL Charge 3 in the new update. Can i connect my two JBL Charge 3 to the JBL Xtreme 2 or Xtreme 1?
Yes any jbl actually
the best thing about it is you can link over a hundred of them together lol.
For some reason JBL don't tell you much about that
It would be cool if the extreme 3 had flip 4 radiaors
Need audio output like head phone so that I can connect with amplifier. We have fourshed to modify after purchase ,we are added audio output but company fitted will be better.
Still debating between extreme it extreme 2. Which do you prefer?
Which one did you end up buying?
@@theundisputed3671 I ended up with the extreme 1 then I also purchased the original boom box. They're both great the boom box has a bit more bass agree it a bit louder. But I end up using the extreme more often. Only because it doesn't turn off and I can connect to it over blue tooth anytime from any room. Versus the boom box shuts off when you're done playing your music. You have to turn it on by pressing the button every single time.
Can I put a memory USB to play music or not ???
The title is 100% right
What is the forecast of his arrival in Brazil?
The battery life not all that great especially when u balsa it it dies quickly
I got my xtreme for 1,5year and i love it
Hey whats up!! I don’t know if you have ever tried holding bluetooth and volume negative the speaker gets noticeably louder. Is there anyway you can review this versus louder bluetooth speakers.
I don't really care about the loudness but for anyone that has the speaker how big of a bass difference is there between it playing at 60% volume on battery power and 60% volume while plugged in? Thanks
2db difference
the xtreme 2 goes as loud as Xtreme 1 when plugged
DID YOU GET THE NEW FIRMWARE UPDATE AND DO A NEW REVIEW.. MADE A BIG DIFFERENCE..
Can we charge trough the micro usb port????
I hope the next firmware update helps the sound and bass better
About this speaker 3 months ago and now it has charging issues don't waste your money guys just stay away from JBL Xtreme or any other of their products
Please improve your audio quality
How long is the break in period?
You deserve more subscribers.
thanks, just trying my best
How long is the break in period? And what is indoor mode?
Am I the only one missing UE speakers lineup best feature, remote turn on or off the speaker? Can someone explain me why this is lacking from JBL speakers? (UE Megaboom and extreme 2 owner)
They have a special edition model that is on squad camo military color.
