I'm glad I could help!
2nd con is BIG!!! THANK YOU!
Yeah, there are a couple of deal breakers on this system.
Really big thanks for this video!! Really very insightful !!
Thanks for watching!
can I take it on the go, like other portable speaker or it need to be plug in at all time
This needs to be plugged in. The battery is only a backup for the clock.
That model seemed perfect until I heard your review about alarm clock not working with bluetooth function. Any other recommendation then, that sounds good?
No other recommendations at this time. Let's see if I end up testing another model!
Im planning to use it as a speaker only, does it work with macbook air?
I'm sure it does, but I haven't tried. With my phones it works great over Bluetooth.
great review!!
Thanks for watching!
This is not an alarm clock, 3 minutes JBL, come on!!. Totally misses the point. It is bearly a speaker that displays time, and it is not portable as it needs to be wired. I contacted JBL support they don't get it and refer me back to the manual for the 3 minutes issue. Not a bug, it is a feature. I was hoping a firmare update would solve the issue, but... no. Look elsewhere for an alarm clock. Thanks for the review!
It's pretty poor design indeed.
It is an alarm clock. It buzz for 3 minutes and off for 10 minutes. It buzz again, until 3 cycles before it off. You should wake up after 3 cycles of alarm don’t you?
What would you suggest?
I haven't tried any other comparable models. And I've kind of started liking this one since I made the video!
What is it that you like about it now?
So if you use it connected to your phone and your phone has an alarm set, then shall it wake you up anyways? Meaning, your phone's alarm will be kicking in and sounds on JBL Horizon? Or is this use case not tested? I would imagine that they designed it this way on purpose, not to have a collision. Can you shed some light on it?
The alarm only ring in your phone.
i bought this product from same seller/link (black colour), and they send me only FM version not FM with DAB, even on amazon site stated that this is clock with FM and DAB...what a disapoint...
Amazon does have a pretty good return policy though, in case you need to send it back to them.
FM version means FM with DAB
@@silenzo100 are you sure?
@@ameerz80 , sorry, i am wrong
real comparison great, thank you
Thanks for watching!
very good
Thanks for watching!
Excelent!
Thanks for watching!
The review is great! The JBL Horizon 2 not so much...
I use it and its nice
I use it too, but it has some big limitations when it comes to the audio features.
So there's no any difference from the Horizon 1
You may be right; I never tried the version 1.

Thanks for watching!

More than 10 minutes, if I get a choice! Thanks for watching!
@@2MinuteReviews, do you mean less than 10 minutes?
