JBL Xtreme 2 Firmware update Explained & XTREME RE-MATCH 

Thank you for taking the time to actually do full comparisons in this and other videos. So many other reviewers do not give enough information.

Absolutely excellent review and test !! I will do the update on the extreme 2 when it arrives. Thank you so much and God bless !!

Thank you for answering every question that I had

You cant deny the smoothness of overall sound on xtreme 2.

Great review, thank you! I think the Xtreme 2 sounds more refined but if one is just about 'playing it loud', it is probably best to go with the old one. All the best!

You are doing a good job with the audio test on everything, Keep up.

It sounds clearer than Xtreme 1. Overall it has really good sound quality.

Great videos! You do a really good job giving your opinions. I enjoy your channel!

Awesome job on the review! 👏🏼

Been watching your videos, shout out from the Philippines!

I love youre video's! greetings from the Nederlands.

First of all I would like to say thank you for putting in good hard work and fact-checking the decibel differences. Secondly I would have to say that in my opinion it would be smarter for those who have a JBL Xtreme to just hang on to it instead of upgrading. Although JBL provided a firmware update for the Xtreme 2, I agree with you that the sound should not have only been more hi-fi, but the volume level should have been more X-treme as well. But it is what it is. You don't have to apologize to anyone for any of these shortcomings. Hopefully JBL has learned their lesson. Ultimately it will reflect in their sales.

Thanks! Really helpful video!

after watching your videos i will pay the 60.- more for the extreme 2. the lower bass is a killer for electronic music like psytrance. your videos and tests are well structured and the comparisons make it possible to really decide on a product. Thank you for all the work

I love your videos man 😄

*Xtreme 2 sounds more refined* clearer and the bass is deeper (55 Hz). i like it

Thank You So Much Bro My JBl Xtream 2 update and upgrade it look loader and bass godbless you more!!! Legit December 3 2019!!!👍🏻

Nice video bro! Love them...

Nice video thanks for doing this videos. Regards from Bolivia

Great video very informative

Mi amigo, yo soy de Paraguay y acabo de adquirir el JBL Xtreme 2 y me puse de muy mal humor al darme cuenta que sonaba mas despacio que su antecesor, entonces me puse a investigar y te doy las gracias por estos videos, por enseñar a como actualizar y en que mejora.. Desde hoy te ganaste un suscriptor nuevo.. Saludos !!

Yeah I noticed the difference right away I just bought mine last night I tried it to when you plug it in to the wall it’s a lot louder plug it It’s not the same

Almost to 20K!!!!!!!!!

got my ex 2 for 120 price mix up at target and they honored it bless

Watching on my Xtreme 2 Great Sound

Thanks for this nice and interesting video

Jbl extreme is good circuit driver or bluetooth decoder, you can exchange the circuit board decoder from jbl extreme 1 going to extreme 2 and i think thats a better sound outpot because of little big driver and passive radiator.

the sound on the xtreme 2 reminds me of how the onyx studio sounds like

I recive today another update for my jbl xtreme 2 can you talk about that new update?

Thankss to this video...know my decision is solid i will buy the xtreme 2 than the xtreme 1

I actually hear the X2 louder in my headphones for some reason. Could be due to the MID range that is better pronounced. Kudos JBL you made a great Speaker better!!

Best review your RU-vid channel sir thanks 😍😍

Also,can you try with the boombox to DC/AC mode,maybe the sound will by diferent to? Thx.

Hi, thx for great reviews! What would you suggest? Getting two extreme or one extreme2 since its about the same price?

The new firmware is more of an improvement in clarity rather than loudness by my ears even though it is slightly louder

Hi guys, What do you recommend between JBL Xtreme 2 and Harman Kardon Go+play ?

There is now an update for jbl extreme 2. Firmware 2.0 but has not tried it yet. Jbl Says its minor bug fixes but doesn't tell in detail. Please try to look unto this

In my xtreme the plastics on radiotors are broken!! How i csn find these plastics for radiators!!

I think the the extreme 1 more louder and punching the extreme 2 is more balanced less punching

Ok, but what about difference between loudness in xtreme vs xtreme2 in AC mode? Is xtreme still louder in AC mode too?

It is part of their marketing. Think about this:. First releasing a product not with the optimum settings. Then after a while you release a firmware update that will improve soundquality. And kaboom...1 Cheap marketingboost availble for JBL. They can decide when to release it and it the product will have the "good product" tag (because quality indeed improved after the update and the product gets more attention with videos like this one, and there are a lot of videos like this).

Like he said the Extreme is louder but you sacrifice clarity with that loudness you can’t get loud and cloudy at the same time so it seems that JBL tone down the loudness on the extreme 2 to get better clarity at 100% volume

I have this one and I gotta say it’s really good bluetooth speaker ! 😎👍🏽

Have you got the new update on jbl xtreme 2 that is 2.0 firmware...??

Hey Willington, what do you recommend, xtreme 2 or hk go +play, what this two speaker is more louder?

My charge 3 was stolen at work last week. I'm looking to get bigger and better so it's harder to walk off with. Is the xtreme 2 worth the 100.00 difference? I'm gonna use the strap brackets to cable it and lock it so that can't just grab it. Do you recommend a carry case for either? Thanks love the videos

when i want more bass what will be better xtreme or xtreme 2? xtreme 2 cost more about 50eur.

DC mode: ( Batteries ) Direct current. AC mode: ( plugged into the electricity in your home ) Alternative / Alternating current. So, in 2020 which one would you recommend? I am in the market for a strong bass without losing the mids or the highs when listening to nothing like what you play! I mean, reggae, Rap & Hip Hop. I am surprised I cannot find any of your reviews on these genres! Looking forward to some. Thanks for some good videos, but when you review the speakers you need to get some old skool vibes up on that `platform of yours! Respect.

hi bro now I have jbl xtreme 2 and its version is only 1.2 .0 . Should I update it to 2.0 ? If update I worry about battery . It might be shorter for battery life , I think . May you tell me, please .

If you understand sound engineering 2 DB is almost twice as loud.. 3Db is twice as loud. 2db is a huge improvement which you cannot hear through a device It would be a much bigger difference in person But I guarantee you the battery took a big hit for how long it would last at that volume.. Great video by the way

xtreme 2 winner for me. Deeper bass and almost unnoticeable DB difference. Also full waterproof not splashproof.

It’s a good improvement JBL but I think that they can do more and nice/informative Video! 👍🏻

Ive heard that the latest update on xtreme 2 sounds louder than old xtreme, have you tried it?

The firmware of mine is 1.2.0 of JBL extreme 2 after update I got 1.9.0! in 2018.

I picked up a Extreme 1 recently for a $100 used n it rocks. I am disappointed that it won't connect to my flip 4 n charge 4.

You have to keep in mind that in order to make it IPX7 it requires more protection and has a linear inside the speaker that will reduce the sound. I live in Florida where it rains all the time, our outdoor activities include the beach and the creeks, so it is important to have a speaker that complies with that. It’s something for something in my opinion, if you don’t take it around water get the xtreme, but if you are on a boat and just constantly around water then get the xtreme2!

Hey man. I have a very weird problem with my brand new JBL Xtreme 2. It just sounds when it's plugged in, like you said in your video, AC Mode. Unplugged the lights turn on and apparently it works normally, it can connects with other devices but without making any sound. You can see the song playing but no sound at all. I tried resetting but the problem continues. What do you recommend buddy? Thanks

New update is out for X2. 1.9 version

Make some content by connecting aux cable on extreme 2 to difference the sound

The new formare plays so smooth

Been playing a variety of music test tracks on my extreme 2 and the sound quality is so amazing. Such a rich, clear and bold pleasing sound. I think this speaker is tops when it comes to blue tooth speaker sound.

nice visual video

Hey man thanks for this video, I have a question though. Is it safer for these speakers to play on AC mode continuously? I mean is it going to affect the battery or other internals of these speakers while listening on AC mode as it sounds more powerful.

even if the original extreme is a little bit louder it's still worth it to get the extreme 2 just because of the clarity difference

I expected the xtreme 2 like 100db in both modes that will be cool

Have you tried to update the xtreme?

thanks man

Does the xtreme still have battery problems?

Can you please help me? What model is jbl xtreme 2 black color is it GG or PL?

Why doesn't mine.show the update?

JbL xtreme 2 have deep bass just like harman kardon onyx and i love solid bass☺️

How to go back to the old version 2.7 charge 4?

New firmware they sound better get louder... but connection probs... and connect plus issues....

DLX can you help me? i bought 3 days ago xtreme 2 and i cant update. i have app but it nothing showing about update :/

I’m debating if I should get the jbl extreme 1 or 2

I love jbl xtreme 1

Hello DLX...i just bought a JBL Xtreme 2 yesterday and i can’t update the firmware from 1.2.0...do you have any idea how to update it since i can’t update it from my JBL Connect app on my iphonex.thanx

My xtreem 2 Before working low frequency mod 🙂 but after update not working low frequency mod ☹️ any trick????

Omg! Your funny! Awesome video as always.👍

New firmware 1.9?

1.9 or 2.0 ???

Watching this video with my XTREME 2 2.6.0 firmware that can no longer activate LFM. Sadt.

The AC mode sound much better on the extreme 2.

Now JBL extreme 2 a new firmware 1.2.0 to 2.3.0 in 2020

Use headphones and max volume.100% recommended!

Just got a second Xtreme 2 because the update did help but dont see the update in the JBL App??? Any recommendations?? Thanks

Peaceful and the love

I prefer Both!

Anyone know how to get xtreme 2 to play at 30w battery?

The compression using the old firmware at high volume was really bad, now it sounds great actually and open. The Xtreme 1 sounds bad in comparison, boomy bass, distortions, recessed mids, lower treble boost etc...

Xtreme is a little louder but in high volume is like Scream and not like sound!..

Hi Guys, I have a question. I own a JBL Xtreme 2 and when I open the JBL Connect App (version 4.1.29) it recognizes the speaker normally but does not show me the badge saying there is a firmware update available. In the information session, it shows that my Xtreme 2 is still in version 1.2.0 of the firmware. How can I upgrade it to firmware 2.0? Is it because I'm in Brazil or is the update available around the world? I have not found anything at all about this problem on the internet ... Can anyone help me? I have already installed JBL Connect on iOS and Android on different networks and the problem remains the same. Thank you.

I got the Xtreme for around 179€ in camo and i use it with an eq (only when i use it at max) which lowers the highs at 8khz and 16khz and a little bass boost at around 60 hz for lower bass and i think it sounds good. I know the dockin is better but it hasnt such a nice battery and not a carrying strap. I think for 100€ more the xtreme 2 is not worth it. Or they should add an outdoor / indoor mode at the jbl app which change the freq. response to 75hz and make it louder than the xtreme 1.

Do a video Xtreme 2 vs Xtreme 3

😞What about the new update

I noticed it today when playing with them in Currys when choosing the xtreame 2 was alot quieter than the Sony xb43 but bass was better but French the xtreame e just come in a delivery while I was there only one on there data base so I booked in while in store they went n got it for me so have the loads as heck amazing xtreame 3! I love it but do miss my sony has to be said! So going to still pick up the Sony to! Although the xtreame 3 us amazing Sony won't ever beat it sound ways but it does need the strobe leds it's to bland for me!

What is the name of the music you played during the test?

The extreme 2 just goes sooo much deeper in bass preformance than the extreme

Will you tell us how much the battery last on the xtreme 2

I was trying for low frequency mode and i mistakenly pressed (volume up and connect+) together and latter it turned off and its not turning on..any suggestions please drop down..
