JBL Xtreme 2 Design and Built Quality

The JBL Xtreme 2 comes in four different colors along with the dimensions of 5.4 by 5.2 by 11.4 inches. The speaker has a somewhat cylindrical shape which is quite bulging from the middle. Due to its shape, it may fall from steep slopes, so to keep that from happening, two rubber feet on the bottom panel are attached on both sides to keep it in place.

A dual 20mm/20-watt driver along with a grill-covered front section projects the sound forward to make it more recognizable and clearer. The dual 2.75-inch passive radiator is located on both sides of the speaker which further assists in the clarity of voice. There are two metallic loops in the speaker and the strap is attached to the speaker making it a shoulder carrier. It is waterproof and has a size of about 5.3 pounds which makes it a bit heavy.

A control panel is there on the top corner of the speaker that has a central power button along with a Connect+ button that allows the connection of one speaker with another device. There is a Bluetooth pairing button and a volume-down button on the left corner. A volume up button and play/pause button are on the right corner which also acts as a call management and voice assistance button. There is an in-built LED for the battery life indicator.

Audio Quality for JBL Xtreme 2

The JBL Xtreme 2 has a reasonable frequency response that gives a mid-range balanced audio along with clear vocal and instrumentation sound. The treble range is a bit less emphasized which makes the higher frequencies sound dull and undermined. The amazing size makes it an approved product for high bass products as compared to low bass which makes the deep bass and rumble sound prominent in the product.

The JBL Xtreme 2 has an amazing soundstage that plays the stereo content without undermining the mono-audio quality. The dynamics are loud sometimes, so the voice may sound compressed at the maximum volume.
