There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
I read a ton of reviews on the UE Boom, Boom 2 and MegaBoom; the Bose Soundlink Mini and Mini 2; and the JBls. In the end, the JBL Charge 2+ seemed to fit what I was looking for: a portable, reliable, not overpriced, great-sounding-for-the-money bluetooth speaker. I was persuaded by some of the reviews that pointed out, while perhaps not an acoustically flat/neutral speaker, it has solid bass for it size, good (not overblown) highs and mid-range clarity/presence. All of these things are true. I hate speakers that over- or under-emphasize a particular part of the audio spectrum to the point of being annoying. I was worried that all the comments about the bass might mean it was boomy. Not so. It's got a pleasing balance (but isn't flat/dry sounding) and the emphasized vocal presence sounds just about right to me. Btw, I can't think of too many things that are more subjective and subject to more variables than audio (particularly speaker) reviews.
The bottom line: given my taste in music, my experience with a wide variety of audio equipment, my aging ears, the price of the Charge 2+ compared to its competitors, the fact that it just sounds"right" to me, JBL's long history as a quality speaker manufacturer (particularly vs. a tech company like UE (Logitech)) and the fact I find the Charge 2+ very listenable for extended periods, I felt this deserved a 5 star rating (unfortunately, no one offered me a free product). EDITED 1/25/16: One caveat (shared in so many words by others): This is a $130, 7.25" long bluetooth speaker (not an array of 1000w PA mains/subs that can collapse your chest). It will certainly play loud enough in a medium-sized room to interfere with conversation, but it is not really loud enough to drive a semi-noisy party in a larger room. With those expectations in mind, this is a great little speaker.

Fabricada de un plástico anti-derrapante, ideal para superficies planas. De buen peso, botones y fabricación excelente.
El sonido sirve para una habitación, estamos hablando que son bocinas pequeñas, pero el sonido es bueno. Los bajos se escuchan muy bien. El sonido igual que una bose, pero de diferente tamaño. No sirve para fiestas o espacios muy grandes. Pero una pequeña reunión familiar, oficina, parque o simplemente en el carro, la bocina será tu mejor compañía.
je recommande cette enceinte.
If I had to give it a criticism, it would be the charging arrangement. Many speakers can charge in a dock of some kind however this uses a cable you plug into the back, making it a fiddly ordeal sometimes. This is a very minor thing though.
