    For $299.99, but got it on sale for $219.99, I was expecting more. good quality sound but it's not loud enough. I finally got to try it today in my backyard because I'm having a cookout party on Saturday, I wasn't expressed, I had it on the loudest it can go up, and it failed. I'll be returning it back to Best Buy and trying the next thing up.

    For the price the sound quality is spot on, I'll give it that. But on the same note for the $$ the size & weight of this it doesn't get very loud at all compared to my small $30 Bluetooth speakers. If it was half the size with the same sound quality it would be a great 5 star speaker

    Not good value for money

    I will be using my current UE megaboom as a comparison as it’s been a great speaker for the last 2+ years. First off I would like to make very clear that this speaker does not output the rated RMS when on battery mode. It seems to have caught a lot of people out like it did me. When I first plugged the speaker in I was happy with its output. I then took it to the beach and it felt like it was a lot quieter. After further investigation I noticed that output is halved in battery mode which explained the lack of power. So let me explain the differences Extreme 2 has only 20w RMS compared to the UE megaboom 36w RMS in cordless mode. Extreme 2 uses a proprietary AC power cord and power supply to charge which means no boost charging with a power bank or charging from phone chargers when you are not near power. Extreme 2 is considerably bigger than the Megaboom. Extreme 2 has to be pointed towards your listening area to get the full sound unlike the 360 sound of the UE megaboom. Extreme 2 has only a 15hr battery compared the the megaboom 20hr. Extreme 2 has exposed driver vulnerable to damage in back packs or just around the pool. Def not young kid safe as they like to poke them. Extreme 2 has worse Bluetooth range than the megaboom. I can’t walk down to the ocean with my phone with megaboom (50ft) and I get about (30ft) with the extreme 2 Extreme 2 costs twice what the UE megaboom costs. Not very good value for money. Extreme 2 warranty is only 1 year compared to UE’s 2 years. Extreme 2 does have slightly better bass output which I like but it has way too many downsides to make up for that. Conclusion. If you want a hard wired speaker to use in your home it might be a good option for around $200 retail. The Apple homepod would be a vastly better option at $300.

    Good for 1-year- BUY the extended warranty!!

    Great sound, died after 1 year! Speaker was great the first year. The battery would not hold a charge. I bought an aftermarket one on Amazon for $30 and it only lasted 2 months. Apparently the internal charger was over charging the battery making the unit very hot. I was told to buy a new charger cord, and another battery (#3). This worked for a few months and died again. JBL would only offer me a discount coupon for 25% off another JBL product purchased directly thru them that had very limited options. I decided to cut my losses and go with a new SONY. This is the first JBL product that I've owned that has given me trouble.
