For its size, the best sounding bluetooth available. Unbelievable sound with colors that are soothing, vivid and in sync with music. I love it.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Very Excellent Speaker!

I have a buddy who has one of these and I really liked it so I decided to look at all the JBL speakers. After looking at the JBL speakers with subs incorporated into them it was evident that they could not be played at a loud volume with out distortion occurring. The Pulse 2 has a sub and lighting features. The lighting features are more defined by the addition of more LED lights but the lighting effects aren't the same. The Pulse 1 lights can go with the beat of the music up and down while the Pulse 2 lighting can not. That is another reason I went with the Pulse 1. This speaker sounds amazing for the price you pay and can be played at louder volumes than the ones that do have subs. This speaker is great for around the house, around the pool, and for parties. I highly recommend for you to consider this speaker when looking for a great quality Bluetooth speaker! Couldn't be more pleased!

Charger ports fail - every time
on September 11, 2015

Bought this JBL Pulse about 3-4 months ago. We were very impressed with the sound and light display and it's very easy to connect, but after about 6 weeks of use the sound started to fade and just wasn't the quality it initially was. Then, about 2 weeks ago, I tried to charge the device and found it wouldn't take a charge. Upon closer look, we found that the metal in the charger "port" (not sure what else to call it) was a little bent, and so therefore not working properly. We can no longer charge or use this device. Now I'd consider this a fluke, however, this is the 4th bluetooth speaker we have purchased in the last 18 months. All of them have the same defect. after several months of use the charger ports become bent or unusable. The first two brands we purchased were not "high quality" brands, but not cheap either. Same thing happened. the last two devices were JBL and as I've stated same problem. we only charge these things once every week or two. we are not shoving the cords in the ports. and trust me after the first thing, we are handling these things with kid gloves. Ironically we have since found we personally know 3 other people this has happened to. JBL is a great brand name. I expect better. and no refunds or returns accepted for that "issue". So just be weary about any speaker you buy for that reason....unless it has GREAT reviews.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Loud, Colorful, Okay sound quality

I bought this about 4 months ago and It has been a very good Bluetooth speaker. For it's size it is very loud and sounds okay. The UE boom does have better overall sound quality and is about the same price.

So much fun!

Paired with my iPhone this is about the most fun I've had with a $200 product ever! Great sound and portability, makes any night a party! Sounds amazing for its size, and lack of bass can be fixed by placement, (in a corner), but all the fidelity you need for on the go or around the house.
