Q: Is there a way to control the Bass on the speaker (reduce it for example) and is there an application that has equalizer functionality to use with the JBL extreme

A: You can disable/enable the Bass boost by holding down the Blutooth & Vol- buttons for 10s. Also works for Line-in.

Q: I'm trying to use my usb flash drive to play music on my extreme. I need help, not sure as to what to do?

A: How do i connect US B to Xtreme 2 to play music

Q: How can I check the firmware version and do an update if available?

A: You may check the firmware version of XTREME by pressing the volume (-) and JBL connect buttons for 2 seconds, then a voice prompt will state the current software version of your XTREME.

Q: Can you pair the JBL Xtreme with Flip 4? If so, how do you connect/pair them?

A: Unfortunately no. Flip 4 comes with connect+ whereas extreme has only connect. So far all my attempts have gone in vain.

Q: What is the service port used for on the JBL extreme?

A: Hi! The JBL Xtreme's service port is only used by our warehouse team for any software related issues.

Q: Does anyone know how this compares with the Aiwa Equos speaker? I'm torn between the two.

A: Extreme is better; promise you wont be disappointed

Q: How long does it take to fully charge this speaker? Also is the speaker long lasting?

A: The battery of the XTREME normally charges from 0 to full in 3.5 hours using the cable provided. And is rated to give up to 15-hours of playtime depending on volume level, the type of audio you are playing and the method of connection (Bluetooth or Wired).

Q: does jbl extreme led display turns off while in battery mode?

A: The battery LED indicator on the XTREME, once charged, should stop blinking and show five dots lit, stating full charge. However, if the unit is being used while plugged in, the battery indicator would not stop blinking as the battery still drains power while being charged. If the speaker is switched off when charging, the battery lights should shut off when fully charged.

What can I say? I love it.
This is just the perfect speaker for me. I'm a *bit* of an audiophile. While I'm not a HUGE audiophile, I appreciate good audio. I have a setup in my living room that is a Denon receiver and JBL Studio speakers. It's a very good setup, overall. But I wanted something smaller because I am moving and I'm starting to appreciate less clutter and less big things. My other go-to bluetooth speaker is very portable and gives me problems when connecting, so I jumped on this Xtreme. I am a fan of JBL products and I felt the design of this was very slick, smooth, refined, and not overstated. Just my thing, so I gave it a shot. The first thing I noticed when placing it on my table was, wow. It looks great. Really great. Happiness level 10, so far. Then I fired it up and connected to my phone. It paired quicker than any bluetooth speaker I've used before (that includes two TDKs, Jabra, and a cheap Amazon-ordered budget device). Now the important part: the sound. The sound is great. I have an open living area with a vaulted ceiling which is open to my kitchen. All in all it's probably 600-800 square feet with a high ceiling. I felt that it very adequately filled the room with audio without sounding stressed out. Can it run toe to toe with two JBL Studio bookshelf speakers and a JBL 10" sub? Well no. It physically cannot. But what I'm getting at is I was VERY satisfied by the unit's overall output. Considering its small size, the bass was not bad. Again, it'll never be able to match a 10"+ sub, but for the size, I was pleasantly surprised. It gives enough boom to make me happy, even when turning it up with songs I knew would challenge it. I then paired it with a JBL Charge 3 that I had recently purchased (also a great little speaker!). The pairing was quick. It worked well. My one little gripe about the pairing is at times one speaker would die out for a moment. It was quick, but it was there. It seemed to get better with time. Also, my charge seemed to be louder than the Xtreme each time I paired them. I'd have to go back to the Xtreme and turn up the volume on that particular speaker to try to balance them. (I had them on either side of the room) That said, I have not yet downloaded the JBL app. There may be a solution there, which may even include updating firmware. I'll give that a try sometime. All that said, I'd buy this over and over again. It's a great unit. I didn't even get into the other features, like its good battery, which not only can power the unit for hours and hours on end, but charge devices when you have no other power access. I didn't even get into the fact that I could have it pool-side and not worry about it getting splashed because of its build quality and water proof rating. It's a fantastic all-around speaker. I think JBL hit a homerun with this and the Charge, and even the Flip (which a co-workers owns and I've heard). The speakers look great, sound great, and function just as you'd expect (pairing, controls, etc). This is an absolute home run if there ever was one in the bluetooth speaker world. Bravo, JBL.

Outstanding Portable Sound
I bring my Xtreme almost everywhere I go: work, photo shoots, places with friends. Pros: - Bass for days. I leave in the morning fully charged and have played music at high-volume for long periods without concern of finding a plug while out and about. - Filling the spaces. Living rooms, lighting studios, workout rooms. End-to-end sound, with complementary bass punch included. - Life-Portable. I've placed this speaker on a rock in the middle of a pool below a waterfall along with other equipment and didn't think twice about it's ability to handle the mist or the occasional splash. The carry strap also makes porting this around convenient. - 1-Press Simplicity. After pairing my speakers with my laptop/phone, I now only need to turn on the speakers (within tens of feet!) and get to work Cons: - With great power...This speaker has a little weight to it, which is good and bad. Good as it helps keep it grounded on it's proportionate feet, bad if you need to carry it for long periods. - LFM: Bass Buddy. I don't have two to try the JBL Connect. I would definitely recommend this to a friend, especially if they do day-trips to places without power or like competent speakers to play music with friends.
