I bought this on Black Friday for my husband and he loves it! It’s way bigger than I expected but he is still able to move it wherever he wants it.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Refurbished unit would not power on/off immediately. Sound quality was off as well.
Received replacement and no issues out of the box. Sound was much better than returned unit. Thank you for resolving issue.

Great JBL sound! Best bass thump that I've heard in a very portable and rugged speaker! If you're thinking about it, buy it! You won't be disappointed! And I am a real person, not an employee or friend of one!!

Not as loud as in the store!

I was looking for a speaker to fill the room with my music. In store, I felt the music in my chest when it played not even at full volume. This speaker does not have the bass or volume. Thinking about returning. It’s a lot of money to pay and not get a room full of sound.

Thanks for providing your feedback with our JBL Xtreme 2. We're always looking for ways to improve. There are factors that we need to consider with the sound that's coming from the speakers'. It's normal for speakers to have a lower volume whenever you're using them for indoor purposes. The reason for that is because sound travels through space, and having your music in a confined space such as a room would limit the sound waves' travel. What isn't normal is when you're using the speakers and here's an audio distortion or intermittent playback. If you need more help with your speaker, please reach out to us through this link: http://bit.ly/2lIab0A

Underwhelming

I have several different JBL Speakers, a clip a couple Flip 5's and the Xtreme 2. They all sound good. The Xtreme 2 definitely has the fullest sound, but it is not "Xtreme" at all. It is about the same loudness as the Flip 5. I bought it specifically for the ability to be loud, for my workshop. It fills with better sound, but in my opinion is not worth the money, when compared to the Flip 5 or other similar Braven models...which are louder and have better sound.
Also, if you are looking to link the speakers, the JBL speakers do a terrible job of that.

I’ve been a JBL fan for a long time but...
on January 22, 2021
Posted by: BigD007

I’ve been a JBL fan forever,starting with the original Charge and Extreme. I didn’t mind upgrading to their latest offerings.....until now. I bought the Extreme 2 after my Extreme stopped holding a charge. This has happened with all my previous JBL wireless speakers,the batteries go for 2-3 yrs and then go bad. Because of that I’ve always had to get an extended warranty to protect myself,at least for the 2 yr period. I’m disappointed in the Extreme 2,specifically with how loud it get,my Extreme was louder! Like I said if they continue to improve their speakers I’m all in but the Extreme 2 let me down big time. I don’t even want to take a chance buying a 3 when it’s available,I’ve decided to buy a Sony XB43 instead. So long JBL it was real,but you really need to pay attention to what most audiophiles want in this category...the ability to play music LOUD,so yes more watts and a speaker design to handle it,BASS,as much as you can deliver without it distorting.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Top-Tier Christmas Gift
on December 25, 2020
Posted by: sassmaster15
from Cleveland, OH
I just got this today as a Christmas present. It is ridiculously overpowered and most definitely aptly named. The JBL Xtreme 2 is the best bluetooth speaker I've ever owned. Volume at halfway is enough to fill a large-sized room with sound, and crisp enough to still make out all the sounds on another level of my house (for example, having it play in my second floor bedroom and still hear it loud and clear in my first floor kitchen). Medium volume on this thing is equivalent to full volume on my Flip 5. Full volume makes it slightly unbearable to hear when you're in the same room with it, but that'll make it great for parties and outdoor gatherings. ;)
Love the clip-on carrying strap and waterproof features. It's got some weight to it, so you won't ever have to worry about it rolling away on you. It also handles a variety of music genres (especially rock/metal) much better than my Flip 5 and Go 2, and is still better than my Charge 4. The bass radiators are INSANE and caused my BED to vibrate on 50% volume when I had it on the floor of my room. JBL definitely did everything right with this bad boy! RECOMMENDATION XTREMELY HIGH!
