Bought this speaker a few months ago and i was not disappointed. The sound and bass was what i expected. Ive used it in an open soccer field and i could still hear the music from quite a distance. And the long lasting battery is great for to last all day. Also its very rugged and has survied a few drops from my car.

This is one of the greatest Bluetooth speakers I had seen so far, I love the sound n the great base n it's so easy to pair with any Bluetooth device... JBL u r the best

Holy BOOM STICK Batman! I watched/read a couple hours of reviews before this purchase. We have a Sonos system in the house, and we wanted music on the upstairs patio/downstairs deck. We thought about another Play:1, but the weather in KC, MO is...intense. The Sonos isn't weatherproof. Then...when we go to the pool or need mobile tunes...the Sonos is worthless without WIFI. So I started looking for a Bluetooth speaker and started with UE. Their Megaboom seemed like the Bluetooth portable class favorite. And yes, it is smaller, a little cheaper(?) and fully waterproof. It also doesn't sound as good. ...and what's the point if a speaker doesn't sound good?! With the intent of listening outside (and not underwater) the JBL beats it hands down. In every way, unless you just need a smaller or waterproof solution. Inside, it sounds better than the $200 Sonos Play:1. Outside, where it counts, it sounds open and full with a real bass response, thanks to the 2 passive radiators at each end. (I also love watching them vibrate...it's very old school bass head satisfying.) I listen to rock, rap, metal and old school country. For what it is, this thing pounds. The expectations have to be reasonable though. Don't max the volume and don't expect it to hit like a trunk full of 12" JL subs. I always listen to a few songs to test any new speakers. U2's 'With or Without You', Ozzy's 'Mama I'm Comin' Home' and 'Brass Monkey' by the Beastie Boys. With the right setup, they all have tons of low end. Those songs will give any decent sub a workout...and they have enough high end that they won't sound right if the system isn't balanced. The JBL passed the test with flying colors. Did I mention it has two USB ports than can charge your phone/tablet?! Killer!! It really is excellent! Some of the best money I've spent in a while for sound. The JBL Xtreme was perfect for the patio/deck/pool tunes!

This little speaker has fantastic sound . I Bluetooth this to my iPad and walk it way out on my deck and it still plays great . It's got an amazing range. It's met all my expectations. No cords to run out to my deck , The charge lasts for hours .

Outstanding sound, extremely easy to connect multiple devices.
