This JBL Boombox is wonderful the best Bluetooth radio I have ever bought. I tried it in my house with the charger connect to it and the bass was incredible love to see the side woofers moving when playing a song and only had it like 50% of the volume because it was blasting. So I thought to myself hopefully it passes my outside torture.
I took it to the beach and was floored on how amazing this boombox sounded. The Bass was impactful you can fill it in your chest if you are close enough. The back bottom works increíble you can change the settings for inside or outside listening( you can tell the bass sound better on this setting if you are outside). My friends where Very impressed on how loud and clean it sounded it had no distortion no matter how loud we force it to. I don’t have to worry on D cell batteries anymore. On a full charge I had playing for 6-7 hours and of the 5 lights that it had when it was fully charged it finished with 3 lights on. So i do believe it can go for 24 hours playing None stop. I even charged my phone and my friends phones while we where in the beach, so now I don’t have to Bring my external battery charger this works great for charging many phones while you listen to music. One less thing I have to worry about is when it rains this is waterproof I’ve seen many videos on YouTube of people throwing the JBL boombox to a pool and it was still working. Now I’m not planing to do this, but what I want to do is get one of those floating things to put my ice , cups whisky or beer and have the JBL boombox on top of that and have a party on the water at the beach.
A cool thing that JBL Speakers do is that they can be link together and play at the same time. So if your friends have more JBL speakers you can have a party.
One thing to note this thing is heavy. But since imma hometheater buff I know that good quality woofers and magnets are heavy. So if you want to get great bass and loud spl with no distortion this is the way to go. If you find it to heavy try out the one that comes before this one i believe is the JBL extreme( not sure) but if you want to get the best bass, loud clean with no distortion, increíble battery durability for those long outside Beach parties this is the way to go.
Setup was easy. While the instructions leave something to be desired, simply connect via Bluetooth and download the JBL connect app to update the firmware. It does it itself in 20 or so minutes and you need to do nothing.
First off, we tried all kinds of music. We did rap and rock, holiday and musical numbers for hours (we listen to a wide variety of music, so we wanted a speaker to do well with all these genres). Everything was crystal clear. Not needing huge bass, we used it on the inside setting. I do like having an EQ but I didn’t find that I HAD to have one, so I decided to sacrifice that here and I don’t really miss it because it sound so good. The sound quality was better than our quite expensive home theater/stereo setup we bought nearly 10 years ago made by a well known, high end competitor. When used as a sound bar with the projector it was amazing and could be heard far away by all. Perfect for projecting outdoor sporting events and movies. Wow. Simply wow.
Some people have said it is big and heavy. I don’t really find this at all. It does not seem heavy to me, and I think that is because the design is well done. You carry from the handle and it is well balanced, unlike some of the competitors out there where the handle is on the back or a side. Very portable. I used to have a boom box in the 80s and 90s and they were never this small and maneuverable. This is a sleek, well thought out design. I do wish there were covers over the sides, but apparently this isn’t really an issue, but it just seems like it can be one and I do worry.
This thing is incredible. We didn’t even want to stop using it the first day it was so captivating (the time spent listening to it barely put a dent in the battery life according to the app). At 1/2 volume it totally filled our 15x20 room with sound where we use it and we couldn’t believe our ears because it was soooooo clear. I cannot wait to use this all the time for movie nights, sporting events, and general outdoor listening. I may even connect it to the tv it was that good (maybe buy a second one to make into a stereo set though). Can’t recommend it enough, and we are glad we got it.

Now for this one, its expensive but you do get the jbl brand behind it, and they do stand by there products, from what ive seen atleast.
I originally bought 1, then got a second because i felt could spread the sound further in a larger outdoor setting.
Prositives
- waterproof, you do not need to worry about sitting in the rain.
- 24 hour battery life, obviously depends on volume used but half way point is probably what its based on. Have not tested.
- Can be plugged in, giving extra power. So if using in a yard, you still have option to use ac power, some speakers dont allow this.
- can be paired to apparently 100 jbl speakers using its pairing technology.
- gets loud, distortion seems almost non existent at max volume
- bass is quite good, depending on where you place. If you use on a patio, youll feel it much more then say on the ground outside. However you do still get solid bass on any surface.
- can charge 2 phones at once. 20000 mha battery makes this possible.
- extremely durable. I feel if i dropped this on any surface, they would affect it at all unless its directly on the sides.
Negatives
- does not have a equalizer, but can download apps for this, and spotify has its own. So you have the option.
- expensive, there are several much cheaper speakers, but you may not get the same batt life and waterproof with others.
- jbl app isnt great. It offers very little features and you dont need it.
- cant turn off speakers from phone or app, have to physically turn them off. No biggie but some people may not like this.
Overall the sound qualityis good. Is it the best ? Definitely not. It is however much better then alot ive heard being bluetooth and portable. Very respectful sound and most people will not notice quality. This takes a true audiophile to pick the differences. I cant comment on the boombox 2, but i went with this one due to cost and larger battery. Indoor and outdoor mode and so on. The difference maybe marginal at best. Make or break may be boombox 2 has newer connectivity tech so cant be paired with older speakers, including this one.
I will most likely be buying 2 more later to have 4. One for each corner of any place you take these. You wont regret these.
