I have the JBL Charge 3 and the JBL Boombox as well as this JBL Xtreme2 and they all serve their purposes for me. The charge 3 is for personal on the go music (kayaking/biking), the boombox is for larger louder outdoor gatherings. The Xtreme2 is truly the best dynamic/full/clear sounding speaker, it's exceptional for listening to moderate to low volumes, where most personal speakers fail. We use it mostly indoors or outside on the deck if it's just my wife and I. You can actually hear the stereo separation which is unusual for these small speakers. The Unit is well built, nice looking (IMO), and lasts a very long time per battery charge. ALSO NOTE: I returned the first one I bought because I did the firmware update (which you can not revert back from) on the original Unit. This, IMO ruined the beautiful sound. I confirmed with Best Buy that you cannot go back to the original firmware once updated, and was advised to return the unit if I was unhappy with it, which I did. I then purchased another unit and left it alone, no updates, and it is now my favorite, best sounding bluetooth speaker ever. Although some people say the Xtreme2's volume doesn't go loud enough, I believe it's plenty loud, and NEVER distorts even at full volume. If I need Louder Volume, I have the Boombox for Ultra Loud Volumes, but It's the Xtreme2 that gives the most true, clear, full sound, and is the most used speaker of my JBL family.

My family has really enjoyed this speaker, we have used it weekly for a year now and are happy with it. We use it inside mostly but we have taken it to the river, beach, and use it outside during yard work. I like that you can use it while plugged in or on battery power. Good sound quality, good volume level, holds plenty of charge.

What else can you say other then it a JBL. From the great sound quality (plugged in or on the go), great multi speaker connectivity to it's ease of use and great battery life. I Definitely recommend this speaker.

Great speaker. Easy to charge and connect. Battery life and size is perfect. Love the strap you can use and the bass is on point. Really recommend it.

I use this a lot actually, it’s a substitute for my car radio since it stopped working after someone did a faulty jump. Music sounds better through this than the car’s sound system honestly. People don’t realize it’s coming from it when they’re riding with me until I go to turn it off. High quality speaker that lasts for hours! I also like the strap that comes with it because it had some weight to it for sure. Only con I could think of is it’s hard to move the little rubber cover over where you plug it in to charge it sometimes.
