Great speaker

A great unit for outdoor or indoor use, sound quality very good and it's quite loud and provides plenty of bass courtesy of bass speakers at both ends of the unit. It is Bluetooth only and has no input jack's for other devices. At $398 it suits its purpose well and offers portability and water resistance.

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.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am so happy to have added the Boombox 2 to my JBL collection. It's perfect for outdoor recreation and anything short of primitive camping/hiking. Not only is it waterproof, but I discovered that it also floats so you never have to worry about losing it while out on the lake. It delivers impressive bass and mid tones rivaling even the Partybox at lower decibals but at a fraction of the weight and size. It has a USB and mini USB port for charging external devices. It lasted a whole weekend of camping and kayaking with frequent use at 50%-75% of volume and while charging an iPhone. This Boombox will be tagging along with me all summer long.

Great speaker, extremely loud even at low volume. Super clear and loud at high volume as well. Amazing style and looks like something that's very rugged. I know how dependable, durable, and loud JBL's are because I have an extreme 2 and it's insanely loud and this one is bigger, and louder than the extreme 2. I also have a clip 3 and I like how portable it is via the carabiner that's on it. They're all good and still look good to this day and many more days in the future. So all in all, if you're looking for a speaker that'll rock a party or start a good outdoor party (or both because of its all day battery) this is the speaker for you. Rock on!!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] If I had to use a word to describe the JBL Boombox 2 it would definitely be "BEAST"! The sound that comes out of the Boombox 2 is unreal! This speaker gets LOUD and I happily say that without distortion. The highs and mids are clear and crisp, but definitely the best and most impressive feature of the JBL Boombox 2 is the bass. This speaker fills large rooms with powerful clean bass and also outdoor areas (something that IMO no other portable speaker can do). Also, the bass radiators look amazing while playing music! Battery life is also great with a little over 20 hours of playtime, and I love I can literally take it anywhere since it's waterproof (IPX7) In conclusion, if you are looking for a big portable speaker with great battery life, amazing sound, monstrous bass, waterproof you really can't go wrong with the JBL Boombox 2.

JBL doesn’t reinvent all that much with this newer iteration of the Boombox, though did manage to change its multi-speaker connectivity and keep it friendly to water. A speaker like this was made for everything to do with being outside and makes for a perfect companion at outdoor parties.

Loud; distortion-free sound; IPX7 water-resistant; 24-hour battery life

Expensive; Missing the best Bluetooth codecs; Won’t work with original

The JBL Boombox 2 wireless portable speaker has a fully waterproof build that can withstand any weather. It can blast thunderous sound anywhere you take it, courtesy of two massive woofers, as well as a pair of tweeters.
