JBL Xtreme 2, the most powerful and rugged portable speaker of the brand

The original JBL Xtreme has been a Bluetooth speaker of remarkable success, but it had to renew. For that reason there comes this Xtreme 2: better resistance to water, greater connectivity, more robust. The JBL Xtreme 2 will be available for 300 euros from the summer of 2018. There will be three colors: black (Midnight Black), green (Forest Green) and Blue (Ocean Blue).

IPX7 certificate

The new JBL Xtreme 2 receives the IPX7 certification, meaning that it can immerse itself in water and survive. Theoretically, up to 1 m deep and for 30 minutes. The previous Xtreme was IPX4, that is, it only resisted splashes so that this change will be very well received. The pool, the beach, the rain in the countryside.

The materials and finishes are first class: metal base, metal hooks, resistant fabric. Also, this speaker will overcome the riskiest adventures. It even has a bottle opener on the hanger, a real provocation.

Bluetooth

The current Bluetooth connection allows you to connect two phones or tablets so that everyone can start putting their favorite playlist. The JBL Connect + technology, another evolution concerning the Connect to dry off the previous Xtreme, allows it to be compatible with up to 100 speakers connected. A good party … but we will use it with some other JBL, and that is useful.

The internal Lithium battery supports up to 15 hours of playback. We can charge the mobile through a USB output on the speaker if we need it. It is charged with a micro USB in any outlet or charger. And it has a direct connection (stereo jack) if we do not want to spend as much battery (of the speaker and the mobile), besides that this link can improve the quality of the sound.

JBL sound

Excellent connectivity, long battery life, and resistance to water or impacts are good things. But from a JBL powerful music is expected, and the Xtreme 2 complies. It has a new JBL Bass Radiator bass radiator. The internal loudspeakers have been improved and also the passive radiators (there is no bass reflex for its submersible condition). The result is music with better bass and more definition.

That clarity helps in another increasingly common use of Bluetooth speakers: as hands-free to hold group conversations (or alone). The JBL Xtreme 2 has a microphone equipped with echo reduction and background noise. Thus, not only will we listen better to our interlocutor but he or they will hear better to us.
