    HUGE Sound

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    The only comparisons I have for this is my UE Megaboom and my surround sound system in my theater room. The price of the JBL Boombox falls much closer in price to the UE Megaboom, but in sound, it is significantly closer to my surround system. The bass this speaker puts out is amazing. It has a great range, but has a little more treble than I would like. I am willing to overlook that, given it's staggering output and great features. Being IPX7 Waterproof makes this very versatile. The 20,000mAh battery gives it plenty of juice to make it through several days of all-day listening. I highly recommend this speaker. Pony up and go with this big boy.

    Static/Crackling noise

    Everytime I connect to my JBL Boombox using bluetooth, I hear a static noise then it will stop & when I play a music from youtube the noise will come back. It does'nt matter how loud or low my volume is whether the volume from my JBL or my phone, the static sound stays the same. But anyways, there's always a refund or an exchange so its no biggy.

    Hello, I had purchased this item in anticipation

    I had purchased this item with the anticipation of it's performance being day and night to the smaller units of similar style... I was surprised with my level of grandeur being rather lacking. I returned it not out of disappointment, for it performed nicely. I just had a greater level of performance in mind...

    GREAT PRUDUCT, but JBL keeps changing the technology to pair two speakers every time they come up with a new version. It's ridiculous so my rating is based on the fact that JBL doesn't seem to care what people really want. Otherwise it'd be a 5 star.

    This speaker is so cheaply made. This should not be selling for 544 dollars. This was a rip off. I’m very unsatisfying with the speaker. I expected a lot more for 544 dollars. BOOOOOOOOOOOOO

    Thought it would be louder for the price but it’s not. Took it to the lake with us and it’s an average speaker I wouldn’t say over the top nothing I’ve heard better quality and louder in other brands. Disappointed jbl

    These are decently loud, we tried to use them for an outside party and sync two together through the JBL app. 2 was still not sufficient for an outside party, inside, sure, but not outside. Now for the app, we got these as the app let's you sync two boomboxes together to play music off multiple devices. This works... Poorly at best. Syncing is a challenge, but maintaining the sync is even harder. The speakers constantly would drop, so really does not function. If you are getting these for the syncing option... Don't...

    I didn’t care for the JBL product. I don’t think that it was nearly loud enough and I think that it was way too costly for it’s performance.
