@@girlsdrinkfeck i have the jbl flip 5 (~$100), and a proda kbq-603 (~$50) and the jbl is just way better. so no, you can't get a jbl equliment for ~$50
Oh wow "LFM" is off but it sounds like a properly tuned speaker. Turning it on makes the kicks disappear and the speaker drowns in harmonics.. How c o m e ?
You probably knew this already and was just sarcastic but I answered anyway 😊💛: That's no wonder because all the "LFM" does is disable all of the SQ optimization JBL audio engineers have designed for this speaker to make it sound as good (and loud) as possible. I don't mean to say that those settings and tuning sound the absolute best for all purposes and all tastes though. But here the options are factory optimization/tuning or no optimization/tuning...
Hmm I don't know.. The person must've somehow gained access to the video earlier than other.. I don't know a single way on how this could be possible....
@@supersolex How do you mean "no"? In many amp desigs you get somewhat higher "B+" voltage when plugged to the charger/PSU. If the batteries are full, large enough and voltage doesn't sag with high output transients then the difference could be quite small though (only below +5% power). But in some designs where wall PSU can bypass the internal BMS you could get noticeably boost. Like rail voltage of 12,5V with full batteries and 15V with wall PSU. That's 44% more power. But I don't know how common this type of a circuit is though.
Homeless bass tester I know, but the people watching this arent employees at JBL so it's useless for them. Most of them are just kids who like 'bass' but can't afford a real proper sound system or a sub
@@jessemano9880 true, I have a JBL flip 4 regret doing it but I was playing on full volume bass songs and making bass tests now I've taken down the videos but anyway yeah even tho it's kinda broken and I have to put tape on the woofers it still plays fairly good just the battery is Hella dead

@@buka9330 It could be nice to have more presets, yes. Typically you would like to get some bass boost when listening at lower volumes (to get balanced sound). But some modern DSP curves already include "dynamic" feature to cover this without the need for different preset. I would have to listen this "LFM mode" in person to know if I would prefer the option to not have a high-pass filter of some sort. With sealed cabinets this is not a problem but with reflex loaded cabinets the cabinet volume, passive radiator and drives together determin the bass properties near and below the tuning frequency. So just having the drivers move at the lower than tuning frequency doesn't mean there is any practical output (acoustic short circuit + phase difference cancellation). To get a real "LFM" option/preset in addition to the no HP (or lower HP) you would need to attach additional weights to the passive radiators. This would work up to a point but would limit the max. output volume and possibly result somewhat worse transient performance in upper bass frequencies. I have used this in my speaker designs and you can do the same by making reflex port longer. But it's all about balance - more is not always better.
@@KittyKite Yes, as a standard most BT speakers (actually most active speakers, even Genelec pro monitors) have a high-pass to get the maximum performance from a Helmholtz resonance tuned system (meaning a reflex tube or a passive radiator tuned system).
I have been using "LFM" since I got the speaker, it was the main selling point for me. I've ran many songs through it from xclsvs channel and haven't had any difference. I have two of the same speakers (Xtreme) and both sound identical. The only difference so far is on "LFM" the battery dies faster obviously because it's running more power, without it on it still lasts well over 10 hours of constant use. It hasn't blew any drivers, the radiators are still fine and tweeters working perfectly. I get that it can break them but geez calm down a little I've had mine for well over 5 years now...
Good bass but my extreme 2 and charge 4 The extreme 2 problem the battery explodes The charge 4 problem the on/off the light was not see And good bass 😘😘😘 You are the best♥️♥️♥️
I like the Xtreme 2, Xtreme size is the bare minimum to have a good sounding JBL speaker. I will wait for Xtreme 3 (with aptx please) to come out as Xtreme 2 is quite old. For a smaller speaker, I already have a SoundCore Motion+ that sounds phenomenal for it's size.
@@grandtheftgameryt Upper bass heavy, no deep bass with messed up highs, Xtreme 1 is the worst for audiophiles. It's a fun listen but it's far from being audiophile
@@zamn__ Nope, there's just cheaper speakers sounds better than theses two, you can also add the Pulse 4 to the mix. They are overpriced in fact, Charge 4 should be $80 at max. Xtreme 2 is great because it have tweeters, it's stereo and have a good bass extension for it's size, and, Boombox 2, while I never listened to it, it's the same story but bigger, it should be great as well.
@@ThibautMahringer I have a flip 4 and it sounds pretty good for it's size, not the best tho. Ultimate Ears has the Wonderboom which is like the best small speaker with great sound quality.
@@dicepsio811 yes it is but as you saw in the video the passive radiaters and the drivers moved way more it sounds worse. But it is fun if you are putting water on the passive radioters because they just move more.
@@zamn__ this is true, it allows the sound engineers at harmon to adjust for the sound accordingly, whe. The dsp is active i prevents over powering the speakers and lowers the bass output by a bit
When I got my JBL Xtreme 2 back in August I’ve never liked the LFM mode. You lose the low end of bass and it turns to more boosted mids and highs and it’s just not pleasing to the ears in my opinion. I have since got a Partybox 300 now though so I have no problem with trying to push more bass out of a little system.
@@zamn__ I'm aware. As told in previous videos. I was also afraid the radiators were excursing too far and that they might break. so i stopped using it from then.
Bro I had the same thing when I got it from the store.... Then I tried "LFM" what actually was not... Because when I turn it on it plays more bassy just like in these vids... I am sooo confused....
What would be actually amazing is if you could connect their speakers to your laptop and have full control over the crossover's. Instead of just letting you turn it off but jbl well knows that people use it and love it or they would have removed the feature years ago.
My Stoner Mind: Makes video about Xtreme 2 Comments: thou puth ith ins thes lfm Mohde hold ahnd presss BT and voulume dowhn. Next Video: LFM ON vs OFF 😂✌
I want To know whats Inside Of 3600mAh Speaker Can U make a Video about The 3600mAh Speaker U just search the name 3600mAh speaker And I have On but I can't open Bc U know family's Don't want u to break the speaker so I just wanted to tell U if U can make a Video about it I just Want to Know what's Inside of The speaker The 3600mAh Speaker
I'm not a fan of this design including the radiator..think about it...if a speaker is out of phase with another, in this speaker the pair of the front speakers with the radiator, .the sound is not pressurized. Yes you can see the movement of the other speakers but still in a pressurized chamber technically the speaker are out of phase. personally think these jbl speakers are overpriced.
so why have they held steady at 200 for the last 2 years, I personally paid full price for it as a preorder and it still sound just as good today as when I took it out of the box, I would like to think that paying so much is justified if you use it to ifs fullest potential and not abuse it like some other people on the internet, I appreciate your opinion and here is mine, have a great day, good sir.
But then you loose all sound quality optimization specifically designed for this speaker... You also get less clean output volume. But I guess it's a matter of personal taste.
It doesn't if you keep the power level down so that driver Xmech keeps in check and midwoofer voice coils don't overheat. That said I don't see any reason to turn on the "LFM"... That takes away all optimization resulting worse SQ and lower clean output level.
