    Love the JBL Charge 2 and 2+. The sound is very real and clear plus it gives great bass that is perfect for all music, but not overwhelming. (I listen to a lot of rock and R & B music) Amazing volume and the battery life is true 10-12 hours. Charging a phone or other device works well as that back up for long days. Best Buy has sales, and I got the best price with Best Buy on sale.

    Beautiful sound coming from this speaker system. Bluetooth works with both Android and IOS devices for Pandora and Slacker. High Quality Sound with a Nice build. It feels like a good quality device and it has preformed like it. It is pretty loud and the Bluetooth talkback function works perfectly. If you are looking for a home, office, or take around speaker this one is really good.

    I was in need of a new bluetooth speaker and found the JBL Charge 2 on sale during Cyber Monday. After reading the reviews, it appeared to be a solid buy. Very much so! Rich, bold sound with plenty of bass to bring out any and all variations of music in a volume that carries well enough to be heard throughout my entire apartment without being a nuisance to my neighbors.

    A Better Buy

    Originally went in to purchase the Bose version of this product, after comparing sound, feel, price, this was by far a better product. Very good range of sound, the volume is far superior to other speakers I have compared. The battery life is good and it will charge your device in a pinch. This shortened battery life, but hey it could save your butt in a pinch.

    I may not be a sound expert however this bluetooth speaker gets the job done. Rich bass! Really rich! Crisp highs great sound for a mid range (cost) speaker. Excellent battery life, and the party feature is a definite must have if you want other listeners to be involved, or if you are like me and don't want to play DJ the entire outing. Very portable and delivers great sound outdoors.

    If you are looking for more bass, you've come to the right place. This has the fullest sound at the price point versus the others I teetrd in store. Easily pairs via Bluetooth. Easy setup. The sound distorts a tad when the volume on your connected device is all the way up. If you turn the speaker up instead it sounds better. That's just my opinion. Great battery life. I'm highly satisfied.

    JBL Charge 2 Portable Speaker ROCKS !

    I love the JBL Charge 2 Portable Speaker! The sound is clear and the Blue tooth makes it easy to use with my Cell, IPAD and with a not included wire, I have hooked it up to my PC. The Base is amazing! The quality, material and design is top notch. They knocked it out of the park with this unit. I use it at work, while relaxing at home or for gaming. It recharges well and easy to use.

    I got it mainly to play Pandora via my smartphone. It has surprisingly good sound quality. I liked that I could control the volume from my phone via Bluetooth connection, too. Makes a great alarm clock on the road. I was impressed at how long the speaker lasted after just one charge. Obviously the battery life is shorter if you use the charge feature, which is still convenient.

    Great sound, easy-to-use, it can even be used as a loud speaker for phone calls! Has a built-in speaker! It got me off guard since I didn't know it had this feature.

    JBL C2

    I own the original JBL Charge. This updated version is great but it's almost TOO loud and I hate that the speaker will "rock" back and forth with the slightest touch. The new design is a bit unstable making it easier to fall over and possibly become damaged if it's dropped. Also, it doesn't come with a travel case like the first one, but it's too bulky and heavy to travel with, IMO, so I travel with my JBL original. Overall still great LOUD sound. I'd buy it over a BEATS Pill any day.

    I use this speaker all day in a noisy shop. The volume is always at the top and it lasts all day on a single charge. Bluetooth function works well to stream music from my phone. All in all I am pleased with the purchase.

    The JBL Charge 2 is a great speaker overall, it has very full sound and exceptional bass for its size. The ability to charge another device is a huge plus. I only gave this speaker 4 stars for a couple of reasons. The firmware that is on these generally is not the most recent and there are audio issues. Just google it. The other annoyance is the obvious digital compression at higher volumes as the speaker tries to keep it's bass levels. It is very noticeable but in general, this speaker is really good.

    My and my wife were constantly arguing over JBL Charge2 & Bose Soundlink Mini. While we heard on the sound of Bose at a friend's place - we were not sure of JBL's. Given the sound JBL gives in Car systems, we gave it a try and are pretty happy about it. The speaker is awesome and has good sound, excellent base and lasts long on the charge. The Bluetooth range is also good. Only bad part is there is no sleeve or a proper cover made for it. Would love to have that added and give it a 5/5 review.

    This has great sound and very loud for its size. The battery has lasted a long time without needing a recharge. Very impressed with the fullness of the sound...not incredible base but definitely better than my jawbone mini speaker.

    I recommend this speaker to anyone who wants to have a blast on the go. I took this camping and it lasted me the whole weekend. It is light and portable and it delivers good highs, mids, and lows. Really loud and works perfectly.

    The sound from this little speaker is very good! Bass is much better than others in its class. It states in the manual that it will hold up to a 12 hour charge and I believe that is correct! Took it camping for a whole weekend and it just kept playing! Would definitely recommend to others!

    Purchased this speaker as a gift but after seeing it and hearing it I now want one. Bluetooth worked quickly, the full bodied sound was something that most Bluetooth speakers don't have, and the large battery/charging feature brought everything together nicely. Highly recommended.
