Rated 5 out of 5 by from It’s loud I bought this thinking I would jam out during the quarantine. About an hour in and the cops were at my door with multiple noise complaints. So yea, gonna be awesome this summer.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Worked great until it didn’t Original bought this for outdoor movies to hook up with a projector, but found so many other uses for it. I purchased this in Oct 2020 and only had to charge it once, until now. Tried charging it for a second time, even overnight, but no luck. Customer support is polite and the guy I spoke to did the most he could do within his power, but they went through the same troubleshooting steps that are on the website. They told me I could buy a 60 dollar adapter to see if that would fix it and if that didn’t work a 35% discount on a $500 speaker. I’m mad at the corporation not customer service, this seems to be a common problem. I was hoping to get at least 10 years out of this speaker, not 4 months past the 1 year warranty. Will look elsewhere when choosing another speaker.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great speaker! Ive had this speaker for about a day now and all I've been doing is playing music. I previously owned the original Boombox and the main differences between the two is the 2 has better deeper bass than the original. When I'm playing music on low volume you can hear the deep bass and you can see the radiators moving on the original I'd have to turn it up to about half to really feel the bass and for the radiators to start moving. On the original I'd have to keep switching modes depending on what music I was listening to if I wanted deep bass I'd have it set to indoor mode or if I'm listening to alternative rock, or Mexican music is have to change it to outdoor to really push up the mids. But on the new one it solves that problem so I'm happy with that so far I'm pleased with the speaker and volume wise it's roughly the same maybe a little louder on the new one. But I do like the new design much more than the old one.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Amazing! I absolutely love this speaker! It is very loud and the bass is amazing! With a bass-heavy song and the volume up, it’ll rattle the floor above you. That being said, this is not a super portable speaker. It’s quite heavy. I’ve used it for family gatherings, and it’s been great! However, I certainly wouldn’t want to take it hiking with me. The battery lasts forever, too! I listen to music on it for usually and hour or two a day, and I’ve even charged my phone a couple of times, and it’s still been over a week and a half since I charged it last.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from good, but we need software update to be louder!! everything is good except volume, volume level is just like boombox 1...fix that please!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Ridiculous bass This thing is huuuuge. Very comfortable carrying grip, thankfully, but it is much heavier than my last portable speaker, the Extreme 2. For good reason, though, because this thing drives some seriously bone rattling lows, and the rest of the sound keeps from being submerged under the bass like with other lower quality sound setups. It's fun to just watch the drivers kick on this thing. Feels very durable, design is sleek, and music sounds fantastic (especially if you like bass). Only downside is I wish it was equipped with aptX for the price but its not an issue, as SBC isn't as bad as it once was and the Bluetooth 5 performs perfectly fine.

Rated 3 out of 5 by from Awesome speaker with a HUGE let down I had been looking forward to purchasing the boombox ever since it first came out. I already own a pulse 3, a charge 4 an xtream 2 and finally had the money to order the boombox2. I absolutely love the speaker. The sound was substantial. It had a deep base sound without it overpowering the highs, the volume went very loud and I could not wait to connect it to my other 3 JBLs. I downloaded the jbl app and to my shock and disappointment, it did not connect to any of my other JBL speakers. JBL changed the Connect + in the boombox 2. Why on earth would they do that. I understand when better technology comes out they want to use it but they absolutely need to make it possible for their customers to update their older model jbl speakers so they can all link up regardless if you bought one 6 months ago or 3 years ago. I immediately called customer service and requested a return label and shipped it back. I had to order the boombox 1 since that one was compatible with my other speakers. The fact that they all are supposed to connect with each other was one of the main reason why I have invested in JBL. This is bad business and needs to be fixed.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Beware of compatibility!!! Boombox 2 sounds great...too bad it doesn't work with existing speakers I own. C'mon JBL! You're going to erode your customer base if you don't make your legacy products compatible!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Not meant for an apartment! This speaker is amazing. Definitely an outside speaker. The bass is wild, sound is great. Wish it was a little lighter but at the end of the day, I don’t care. I bought it for big sound and it delivers!.

Rated 2 out of 5 by from Great Sound Quality - Poor Battery Life Sound quality is phenomenal. Battery life if terrible. Advertised 24 hour battery life, even has a charging port for your phone. needless to say i might get 8 hours out of the battery. Contacted support, they gladly sent me a new one. Same thing. Then states well play at half volume to get close to the advertised battery life. Who wants this speaker at half volume. I wouldn't expect the full 24 but at least half. Give me 12 hours with no worries. This speaker is way too expensive to have to keep plugged into the wall. You can buy PA uprights for half the money if you want to keep one plugged in.
Date published: 2020-11-30
Rated 5 out of 5 by from HIGHLY Recommend I bought this speaker because I Ordered This speaker because I wanted something with DEEP bass, and this speaker delivers! In my experience in just over half volume and a deep bass song it can shake the walls! The bass is incredibly deep, but it still doesn’t over power Treble and mid-range.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Another level of sound quality I bought the boombox 2 couple days ago and it is sound different from the old one. More louder and more booming than the bb1.
Date published: 2020-04-09
Rated 5 out of 5 by from Amazing Base and Sound Quality So why buy the JBL Boombox 2? Bass Quality Durability If you’re someone who enjoys drum and bass then this is 100% the speaker for you. Furthermore, the bass in no way infringes the quality of the sound (unless you’re in a tiny room playing it on full volume). So this speaker is ideal for all genres of music whatever your taste may be. This speaker also gets very loud for its size. Indoors I rarely have the speaker over 15-20% volume for fear of my parents wrath. However, I am a university student and if you’re looking for a house party speaker, the Boombox 2 is a great choice. My only real critique is that it is rather pricey. I managed to pick it up for £320 as JBL had a 20% discount on UNiDAYS, so if you’re a student I would highly recommend taking advantage of this.

Rated 2 out of 5 by from Boombox 2 does NOT Connect with Boombox Original Beware before purchasing!!! This boombox will NOT connect with the original boombox. The sound and quality are great however me owning a boombox original for almost $500 you would think JBL would make all of their speakers compatible for connection regardless of sound quality from one to the other since it is the speakers job to perform at its max potential especially with these all being around the same $500 bench mark price. This in my opinion is not right and is in a sense of buyer control to enjoy the nicer newer products, you can purchase the newer models but have to leave the older JBL speakers by the way side if you do a full party or event not being able to connect them all simultaneously to have a surround sound setting. Or you can just buy another older model to hook up to however, I think its pretty sad a good and successful a company like this is didn't add the bluetooth connect that they are more than capable of doing to connect to older models. If you are an older boombox owner beware before you spend another $500 plus tax for this newer version that will NOT connect to your original. I hope JBL will make adjustments or at least offer a buy back at full price of the original purchase price so we can all enjoy their older and or newer products together and not feel obligated to purchase more of the same product $500 each I may add again, to receive better sound quality. Not cool JBL...

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Big sound, easy to connect to, durable I’ve been using the JBL Boombox2 for the past month. Connectivity: It’s very easy to connect to. Pairing Bluetooth mode at the push of a button to allow your friends to connect and play their music. Charging/Battery: Easy and accessible charging port that has a nice rubber gasket to cover when not plugged in. Battery life is 24 hours so throughout a three day weekend and on average using it 6-8 hours a day I never had to charge it. Accessibility & Sound: I’ve used this in an outside setting multiple times from camping, the deck, and on the boat. You get big and quality sound with volume levels that can still be heard from a distance away or over boat motor noise. Simple adjustment to volume with the push of a button on top of the unit or from your phone. Play as soft or as loud as you’d like with easy controls. Sturdy grip handle to carry and transport. This speaker will blow your smaller Bluetooth out of the water in bass and sound. Waterproof: Waterproof for that piece of mind when on the lake and wet conditions. I’ve physically poured a bottle of water over the speaker and watched it bead up and roll off, never once effecting the speaker’s function. Summary: If you’re looking for big, quality sound for around your campsite or jamming tunes at the sandbar when on the boat, consider the JBL Boombox2. I look forward to also using it as bigger sound for backyard movies on a projector screen.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Overall Good portable speaker I bought two of these one in Squad and one in Black and overall they are very nice speakers. However since I upgraded them from firmware 4.3 to firmware 4.4 i hve had major issues with pairing them together. I contacted JBL asking if there was any software updaters in the pipeline for these speakers and they just keep telling me to do these things i already tried 10 times BEFORE i ever contacted them. If and when these get another software update that fixes my issues i would give them 5 stars but until then im pretty disappointed about the partyboost pairing and firmware 4.4.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Partyboost does not deliver I bought 2 boombox 2. Party boost buttons seldom respond. Often don't connect. After multiple tries, eventually connect using Samsung tablet. But, using Samsung phone, connection weak. Songs skip consistently. No good. JBL Connect app appears to be most problematic. Poor app. Bottom line, don't buy hoping to pair sound for stereo. JBL promises but does not deliver. Very sad. Speaker by itself has good sound. Should work well as a team but doesn't.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Explosive! Im going to get to the point.. this speakers rocks! OMG I cant believe my ears. I threw every genre of music at it and the speaker begged for more. Crisp high from classical music, furniture moving bass from hiphop, my body felt every beat drop of edm/trance, It was a live concert with my rock n roll playlist. The speaker itself is very well built, clean seams, no gaps, quality material used period.. JBL quality I expected and familiar with. The speaker handle felt good in my hand, was able to comfortably and confidently carry without fear of dropping it. Buttons and ports are current with all JBL products available, easy to read and navigate, no issues here. Bluetooth connection is spot on, pairs to my iPhone 11 Pro instantly and every time after that.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Great Product I really like this product, I just believed that for the price it would have a better quality of sound than my PartyBox 100, it does not. I purchase it for better portability. I was going to give the PartyBox 100 away, but I think I'll keep it because it better sound quality and much more features. This is a great sound product and may have great battery life, but for the price tag. I believe there should be a little more bang for my bucks on the one. With that said, great sound, easy to carry about (the ladies my find it a bit heavy) and very good battery life. I will keep this one.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from BUY IT! I received the Boombox 2 a few days and I have been abusing it ever since. It has fallen out of the back of my car and bounced down the street, tossed in the sand at the beach, and rained on. All that and it still sounds and looks great. This speaker is very durable, looks sharp, and has amazing sound. Wether your in the backyard or at the beach you'll have plenty of sound. Buy, buy, buy!

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Great Features!( :o ) The're are only 3 things about this speaker that I like, the battery life, bass & sound; which is technically speaking the main attraction for most consumers(including myself), but unfortunately JBL forgot to mention a few things about this speaker, such as: they don't have a battery indicator level, I put tape on the battery indicator so I can better see how much battery power is left, the speaker will automatically enter sleep mode(goes silent) if the speaker isn't detecting a certain decibal BUT it does turn back on when it reaches the decibal that's required for it to do so (same goes for the Party Box On-The-Go). Whoever designed this must be kinda dumb lol. GREAT SPEAKER :)

Rated 5 out of 5 by from So good I ordered a 2nd. I purchased one Boombox 2 on account of the quality of sound produced by the mini JBL portable Bluetooth speaker Flip 5. The sound quality way surpassed my expectations of what to expect, that I purchased a 2nd Boombox 2 so that I could link them up to play in stereo. I now have nightclub quality sound in my living room. I cannot recommend these speakers more.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Well worth what I paid I just bought this today for 50% off at Meijer. Well worth the $250. I would not have paid $500 though. I picked up a Charge 4 a week earlier and was happy with it but it just wasnt loud enough. I remembered they had one boombox left for half off so I went for it. No complaints so far except for one and it's not really a complaint. Certain songs dont quite sound right when using bluetooth. If you dont mind a cord I fixed this by plugging in my 3.5 mm jack in to the aux port. Same songs played perfect. I read it's a problem with the bluetooth codec or something. Not a problem with me, I'm old and can use a cord. It's quite loud and punchy too. That's about it for now, only have had it for half a day. If u can score a deal like I did it is well worth the cost.

Rated 2 out of 5 by from Awesome sound but disappointing I bought this a couple months ago for my husband and we charged it one good day to use it to celebrate my husband honorable discharge from the army. We tried to use it again it would not work without plugging in the charger otherwise it just continues to Flash like its charging but it never charges. I am very unhappy with performance and the big ticket price. Too much money for it to not work. So disappointing.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Deeper bass and better sound than original Great sounding Bluetooth speaker. Deeper bass than original with a better sound signature, more power, smaller battery but same capacity and is heavier by a little more than a pound telling me JBL upgraded the inside and drivers. Only gave it 4 stars because mine came with a crackling/clipping sound from one of the tweeters anywhere that a lot of treble was present. Currently waiting for a new replacement.

Hi. Can i ask you why there Is difference between the battery capacity between two boombox speakers?

Asked by: Martin7777

Length of time used, level of battery charge and volume of music playback can all affect said performance. Should you wish to receive further support, you may contact the Harman Customer Support team by telephone, email or chat in order to receive direct assistance. Please see https://uk.harmanaudio.com/support-contact.html#ns for further details.  Thank you.

Can you hook up a wireless microphone and use the bluetooth capability for music at the same time? Or is there an output you could plug in a microphone?

Asked by: Anacabana
No, it doesn't support wireless microphones. Moreover, for microphones to work, the signal needs to be boosted before it passes to the speaker output. Our JBL Boombox 2 doesn't have this preamp boosting built-in. We have the JBL PartyBox Series that has this built-in but for wired microphones.

JBL PartyBoost is an improved version of JBL Connect +.As Bluetooth technology improves, so do our portable products.

Can this speaker work completely out of the power supply? With other speakers, after a while(say a year)the batteries degrade so much that the device becomes unusable. When this happens I would like to keep using my speaker from the AC adapter.

There is no harm in leaving your speaker connected to electricity at all times. You can simply pick it up, unplug it from the charger and be on your way, knowing that you have a full charge.

I am looking at this speaker, but the overall "2" rating is kinda putting me off. How does this speaker sound at lower volums??? I have an Xtreme and want to replace it with this BB2. lower volum is as good as the higher volum??

Asked by: diver45
It would depend on the listener's ear how a speaker would sound as everyone has different hearing preferences. We suggest that you take advantage of our product's 30-day guarantee return if the unit was purchased from our website. If you don't like the speaker, you can use our self-service options to initiate refund here: https://www.jbl.com/support-returns-and-warranty.html

Do you have to break in the JBL Boombox or is it ready for full volume use out of the box?

Asked by: Draco
There's no need to do a break-in. Please note that you will get a shorter music playtime on a full volume.
