We had a 1st gen Echo in our master bathroom for listening to music in the morning ru-vid.comUgkxABghAEkaIDGZfHRBH3D3rBrlraNmnC71 and while in the shower. I didn't realize how tinny and awful the sound output on the original Echo was until we replaced it with the Studio. It was a sonic upgrade far beyond what I was expecting. Just wow. I love it because it's like having speakers IN the shower. My friend likes it because the music is so loud that she can no longer hear me singing. So that's a win-win.

Bruh imagine using the Connect Plus feature to full extent with a hundred of these Boomboxes connected to each other at full volume. Mf's gonna end the world 💀 💀
I work for JBL Harman. I love your review ❤ All are accurate and you hit the key points to be highlighted very well. I Like that you discussed the indoor and outdoor mode. A lot of customers calls in about this. Personally for me...The best affordable portable speaker is the JBL Charge 3. It has connect plus, it's a powerbank. much more bassier than the Xtreme
KPetrova excuse me sir i was plannin' to buy a jbl charge 3 but didn't because when I was watching diffirent reviews they said that charge 3 didn't have connect + and i wanted charge 3 but no I'm confused, I was looking forward to getting a flip 4 because it has connect+ and you just said that charge 3 has connect + so I'm kinda confused 😂
3:10 according to my experience. The "radiotors" are not subwoofers they're just hermetic covers that move because of the actual speakers in the middle. They don't actually produce sound... Look for a video "what's inside" of a Boombox or any other JBL speaker video. And see it yourselves. ;)
Yes they do. Passive just means they aren't powered directly by the electronics. They are powered by changing pressure inside the box that would normally just be sound lost as compressed air. As they move becaiuse of the changing pressure they create sound waves outside the box that would otherwise be lost.
ElectronicRedPanda you don't hear much of the bass inside the box if its sealed. If you want to argue ported boxes vs the passive device on the side of the boom box then maybe we could talk about efficiency or something but I think you are misunderstanding what I meant. I meant I vs a sealed box. How else would there be a pressure build up that is lost?
The devices on the side act as a sort of half port half sealed box hybrid that allows for that deep sound you get from ported bass while allowing the box to be waterproof. This is also used in bose portable speakers because it gives a good balance between a ported box and a sealed box but allows the woofer to cover more midrange than a fully ported box. Basically you are giving the speaker more surface area to work with and with a particular weight in place it will only couple with the air on lower frequencies when you need the boost. Also being able to point more surface area on a subwoofer in a different direction can help solve the phase cancelations you get when you have a subwoofer just open to the air and it cancels it's own sound pressure waves.
Nice review.. Brought 1 for work / outside warehousing - it is pretty damn sick - Nice and loud and bumps as well - love the battery which last longer than my smaller speakers , which was the main thing i was looking for .
Just ordered mine Sunday through QVC. Cost was $359 with 4 easy payments. It was on sale Memorial Day. They ship after first easy payment of during order. Can't wait to receive it to replace my original JBL Speaker. I take it to Schitterbaughn Waterpark everytime we go. Everyone loves to stay afloat on their tubes near me just to hear the music but this time around, they won't have to be so near from the way the power of this boombox works😄😄so excited .
450$ its worth it every doller i have it and i enjoy it every time i used it all my friends&fam love it..its 100% all quality my friends ..same up or just get it..great stuff jbl
Just bought this baby and it blew me away. Loud, clear, robust and awesome for a party. Compared it in a store to the Partybox encore essential, HK Onyx 7, HK play-and-go and was by far the best. Worth every hard earned penny
Funny it sounds great in many videos and some comparison videos try to toast it, but the "bass" clarity and punch is definitely winning. AIWA and HK are more volume in the Treble/Mids with pretty awesome Bass too, but the JBL is Bass BOSS.
Gonna be real honest - compared to many HUGE bluetooth speakers that way a ton, this JBL Boombox is still way more detailed, louder, and harder bass. Hilarious, but true. I couldn't believe it myself, got one just to test - wow impossible to send back. Compared to the Xtreme, this is the big boy - everything upgraded 4x+ in all departments at-least.
It is an incredible Bluetooth speaker with loud sound and bass. Given the fact the built in amp delivers only 80 watts in total when plugged in the outlet and 40 watt in battery mode, I wonder what it sound like in my home. The passive radiators are impressive, with lot's of excursion. Great video!
I have the Harman Kardon Onyx Studio (similar speaker but it’s not waterproof) and I love it. 60 Watts when plugged in and it sounds very clean and crisp, with pretty deep bass. Dual passive radiators and made by the same company. But I would def choose the boom box over it.
im thinking of buying one of these to take on vacation to Ibiza for use at my crews villa with a DJ controller. Would a boom box go loud enough, would this be OK for DJ use? ie "lag issue"? which would you buy? would the boom box be loud enough, would this sound OK in mono ie a single speaker for DJ use? thoughts please my man....thankyou
Audio Freak because everyone tests the boombox with bass-heavy songs like Hip Hop and Trap. Heavy Metal isn’t that bass heavy and that‘s why no one test‘s it with it.
Just got my boombox about a week ago. Found an insane application for this speaker. I immediately paired it with my 3 JBL Extreme 2's. Incredible sound. Then I discovered my Samsung Galaxy Tab 5se can stream to two audio sources simultaneously. So I also sent sound to my 2 Aiwa Exos 9's. Mind blowing sound.
Would you recommend having two of these in my room at low to mid volume or is that only a waste. I’m planning to put both at the end corner of my room (one at the left side and the other on the right) both facing my bed.
I just picked up my second one after four plus years.. two of these are remarkable, I took it to the plaza where a lot of people gather and stroll by.. It was a hit..!
Keep the box. If it's like the other JBLs in the same line there's a good chance it'll stop working after a year and you'll have to send it back for repair [warranty is 2 years IIRC].
Meh, good speaker but youre overhyping it. I'd say Aiwa Exos-9 does a better job, yet boombox has a nice style and IPX7 certified, while exos-9 is much louder and packs more bass (and is cheaper).
GateOP, not hating but not even close one of my friends has an exos-9 and my plain jbl Xtreme speaker does is better so I'm pretty sure the boombox is alot better than both
Quit bringing up subs! This has nothing to do with subs. It’s fucking speakers to listen to your music, not for just bass. So quit trying to compare the two. Doubt your little baby jbl sub has anything on my lil 6’s anyways😂🤷🏻♂️💯
Hi Brother, please tell me for how many years the battery will last ?? Can we play it directly from adapter if battery is not working?? What will be the cost of new battery ? Please reply
hello I just ordered one online and noticed I'm only hearing noise come out of the side with orange JBL logo on it. can someone confirm if that's how it's supposed to be?
I heard this thing In person and dang the bass was so awesome and loud I love bass I got the charge 4 for my room and I love bass it hasn’t arrived But I have heard it in person and even the charge 4 puts out a good amount of bass an I listen too rap
Thank you so much for your detailed review I have ordered one and going to get it at my cottage and Iam even more exiteed to go pick it up many thanks cheers 🍺
