Owner's manual

Q: Does Best Buy repair broken charger ports? The usb port is broken and won't charge. If so, what is the cost?

A: Take it to geek squad

Q: Which is better JBL OR BEATS?

A: JBL is a true loudspeaker with better acoustics. JBL bests Beats!!

Q: what is the maximum connection from the speaker to the phone? As in how far can you walk without losing connection?

A: Bluetooth has a range of 33 feet.

Q: Is this worth the price

A: In my mind yes it is totally worth the price, but don't take my word for it. Look up comparison videos, testing videos, and ratings to further give you insight in the Pulse 2. Compared to my Boombot Rex and Pro the audio and bass is ridiculous, and it's a good alternative when outside at a BBQ with the family. Just look up more intel and see for yourself.

Q: How many decibels has this apeaker

A: The PULSE 2 has a Signal-to-Noise Ratio of >80dB.

Q: Can this be paired with an echo dot?

A: Our portable speakers including the PULSE 2 doesn’t support third party speakers over Bluetooth connection. So Amazon Echo or Echo Dot will not work with the PULSE 2.

Q: Do you have to have the lights on?

A: No. There's a switch to firm it off.

Q: Can it be paired with my music apps on my Sony tv?

A: This speaker will work with Bluetooth enabled TVs.

Room For Improvement . . .
First let me quickly mention the good. The light quality is improved. Other improvements include overall sound quality, bass, loudness, battery life, and splash proof (the latter mentioned are all things that can be found in the Charge 2+ for less money.) Now on to the bad which is enough justification for me to be returning said item. Most of the issues i'm thinking can be addressed by a major update of the app. First lets talk about the colors and shading the old functions on the physical speaker were much better at the touch of a button get the color and level of brightness you want. Now we have this color sensor which sounds cool but the moment you don't have access to your closet loses all its appeal. Its annoying to dig through my closet to get a shade of pink or blue, and I have yet to get purple. I'm thinking this October I will be at a bonfire i'm not going to have too many colors to choose from in the middle of the woods. The old app had an easy color adjuster and adjustment for brightness/dimness (bring this to the new app asap). The new app is interactive which is really cool but who really wants to sit there while their with a group hanging out to make firefly designs? Unless your consistently interacting with the app the light shows are boring and static. Most noticeably missing is the equalizer and club mode that interacted with this source of sound these functions need to be brought back. These are what made me love the old one I didn't keep the old one because it had the best sound I kept it because it was easy, and fun to use. I'm shocked with this entire color sensor who wants to use this thing to find colors taking pictures of your clothes is ridiculous it doesn't even save your preferences like the old one did. . no if want blue fireflies instead of green better go dig through your closet for it every time!! Lastly something missing from the old and new version is a timer function something that will shut it off after a certain amount of time or non use. At night I listen to audio books to drift off to sleep and while audible has a timer to stop the book this device has nothing so the lights continue to shine until the battery dies which it always happens by morning . . its dead. I would not recommend this item unless two of the three issues I listed are addressed it costs too much money to be this complicated, annoying and nonfunctional (the app crashes constantly!!!) I would keep with the old Pulse or just do without lights and use the charge 2+.

JBL compact splash proof wireless Bluetooth Speake
The JBL Pulse 2 is a compact splash proof wireless Bluetooth speaker that delivers strong sound for its size and distinguishes itself with an integrated light show that's far improved from the original model. The built-in rechargeable battery offers 10 hours of battery for sound only and 5 hours with the light show in effect.

Better than i thought...
went in stores to test out the best blutooth speaker for my budget. My laptop aux port is damage so I cant use headphones and I make music. I looked around for 30mins. tested out the pulse 2. The display music did not show off full capability of the speaker so I was not to confident in purchasing it I decided to go with it because of the LED lights. I didn't find out til I connect my laptop at home. that the pulse 2 is loud and has a good bass response. I so can say it probably out of the speakers I seen was the "best buy" lol...NOW! BACK TO THE MIXING THESE 808 ON THIS PULSE 2!
