Customer Ratings & Reviews

We spent about an hour in-store comparing one speaker against the other. While pricier than others, we kept going back to this one. It's got great sound, easy controls, connected quickly, and is easy to carry around. It's built for any environment and we use it everywhere. It's especially good for humid or wet environments. Highly recommend.

Got my first JBL Xtreme 2 when I was in the military for large gatherings at home. The bass is phenomenal and battery lasts a long time. Also been exposed to water and didn’t affect anything. The charging ports in the back of the speaker are just a bonus and the strap included is handy for easy transport

Love it. I use it at work every day for 5-6 hours. One time I forgot to charge it on Weds, and it seemed like it a charge until Friday. The bluetooth is great, connects quickly, and stays connected. Sounds really good too, good volume in a work situation.

Excellent sound quality, easy to connect to Bluetooth. Charge seems to last a long time and the speaker is much larger than I thought it was so the carrying strap is a nice feature. Charging cable is unique (not USB), so would probably need to replace if lost.

Awesome sound from a small speaker. In the past, I always had top of the line stereo equipment with large floor speakers. I have always missed the quality of sound from those large speakers. Now, I have this JBL and the sound rocks. I take it to the beach and out in the yard at the fire pit. Great product; waterproof, lightweight, good price, easy to set up and use.

This product has a great sound. We use it outside by the pool and it has enough bass to fill our patio and pool area. Easy to connect via bluetooth and a nice long battery life. I'll buy another because they can connect to each other and create surround sound.

Loud and proud! Great bass. Easy to use. No issues connecting Bluetooth or linking with another JBL speaker. Long battery life. Short time to charge. Take it with me to the gym to hoop everyday.

This is my second JBL Extreme 2 speaker that I have purchased. I loved the other one so much that I decided to add another so that I can play them both with the connect feature. Plenty loud indoors and now that I have two I feel like I’m at a concert. The ranges of the bass and vocals are sufficient indoors. I haven’t used these outdoors yet but I can imagine they will sound great at the next party I host. Got these both for $250-$275 range. Both times on sale. Definitely worth the money and as always JBL has never let me down. I’m also the proud owner of two JBL Partybox 300’s and the JBL Boombox. All great Bluetooth speakers.

I was looking for a speaker with good bass but not so much that it drowned out the music. This speaker provided that and more. Pros: Good battery life, can pair up with other JBL speakers, can charge other devices via a USB port in the back, and is water resistant. Cons: This speaker weighs roughly five pounds. It’s also bigger than a portable speaker that you’d slip into your backpack (It does come with a shoulder strap to carry it). Overall: If you’re considering this speaker and are okay with the size and weight of it, then you will love this speaker. If not then I’d suggest looking at the JBL Charge 4 as it’s the smaller, more portable, version of the Xtreme 2.

Purchased this for my daughter she loves it , told me perfect for her peso pluma music. Very good bass and super loud and the strap is perfect for on the go and out door activities . Battery last a long time weve charge it after a good 15-17 hours use depending on how loud its been used .

I really like this unit. Sounds great. Long battery life. The only minus is that they should have designed a better way to transport it with one hand, other than the rinky dink belt type handle that clips off or on. Plenty loud, and water resistant, too! Easy to pair and use!

Extremely loud but very portable, high usage for wherever you go

This speaker is great. Great sound and great volume. I like the carrying strap and the ability to use it as a power bank. Only down side is the charging port is rather difficult to open

This is a great speaker for the price. It gets loud enough to fill a mid-sized room with noticeable bass. Also, it is very easy to connect to with a one button setup for Bluetooth.

The speaker lasted me a whole day at the lake and the next day went to play basketball for another 3 hours and lasted through that too. The speaker sounds amazing and the water restance does work well we splashed it a little at the lake and it works fine

That's a great portable speaker. Great bass power. The battery is incredible. Nice to use in little parties. I use this speaker instead of home theater in my big TV room.

If you have a pool, hot tub a boat or just like being around water, this speaker is perfect for you. If it gets sandy just rinse it off, you don’t have to worry if it falls into the pool. The sound is really good for an outdoor speaker and the battery life is the best!

Treble and mids are good.....the bass is not bad. I guess I was expecting more bass, but I realize it is a portable and can only put out so much. Being raised on music played at high volume with lots of bass (my dad was a music connoisseur), and being that this is a portable, the volume on this JBL is not bad. I was pegging it against my Bose home theater system and realized that wasn't fair or a reality. I like my music loud. So I do get good sound out on my patio and in my garage when I am working in there. Works great for outdoor parties. Blue tooth connection was easy. It is a heavy piece, but that's ok. I purchased it on sale, so overall I am happy with it's performance.

Great speaker. Bought as the radio died in my car and needed something while waiting for new one to come in. Excellent sound quality and loved the portability. Holds charge for a long time.

Yes this is not a tiny speaker, but then isn’t that the point here. There are a multitude of tiny portable BT speakers on the market, but for a mid size yet still very portable speaker this is awesome. I have used it several times over the past month while working at a rental property. The speaker fills the whole house and plenty loud enough when a great song comes on the playlist. I love that this speaker doesn’t need WiFi to connect like so many others in this size. Simply turn on with a touch of the power button and away you go. It automatically connects to the last device synced. On a full charge it has lasted up to a week at mid volume. Twice I have had to use the charge feature for my phone and have absolutely loved that. Just plug your phone into the USB port on back and it will charge while jamming to music. This BT speaker is well worth the price. I am even thinking of buying another speaker as this speaker will also link with the full line of JBL speakers. Add as many speakers together as you want by linking them via BT. Very cool!!
