I strap the JBL Xtreme 2 to my bicycle frame when I go out and do 3 hour rides pumping bands like the prodigy and drum & bass. So far its been very successful at energizing grumpy old people to shake and wave their fists at me! I can't hear them but I think they really love the music ;-p
I just picked up 2 Xtremes for the price of 1 Xtreme 2. I am very happy with them and couldn't hear that much of a difference to pass on that kind of a deal! Nice review!!!
Great review! I have them both and listening to them both on my galaxy s9 on battery power and no equalization, it sounded (to me) like the xtreme had slightly lower bass response and achieved slightly higher overall volume but the xtreme 2 sounded much more balanced, full, better with vocals and mids. In my opinion the sound quality alone does not substantiate buying an xtreme 2 if someone already owns the xtreme. However, if you're one of those whos xtreme's battery is dying, and/or you're intent on using it close to an open water source, and/or you demand slightly better vocals without using an equalizer application, and/or you have other jbl speakers with the connect plus feature and youre absolutely intent on connecting to them (pulse 2, flip 4, boombox), then an upgrade will suit you. Otherwise you're not getting a whole lot more in getting the xtreme 2 over the first generation, at least not $300usd worth. But that's just my opinion.
The Xtreme 1 got boomy upper bass and harsh treble which makes it great for outdoors, but if listen to a lot of music indoors and care about sound quality the Xtreme 2 sound is much more balanced and nearly hifi with deeper bass.
i would not upgrade for 300€ extra..better get another xtreme 1 for 150€ or somethign like that and have 2 in stereo:D or sell it and get a vifa oslo, if you like hifi sound and a louder speaker
I thought the same thing, here in France the Xtreme 1 is 150€ and the Xtreme 2 300€ you can have 2 Xtreme 1 for the price the X 2 that's so cool knowing that the sound isn't 2 times better than the Xtreme 1
@@TylerHaddox89 Same thing as mine and many other people is wrong with the battery of the xtrme 1. Mine lasted an year,it was brilliant for the time, but nowit works only if it's pluged :(
Thanks for this review. Currently have JBL Xtreme and was keen to know what was different in Xtreme 2. Your review covered everything. Very comprehensive. Well done.
The Xtreme 2 ac. Mode is what we wish it sound like on battery and even better without the plug... sometimes full volume doesn't feel like full volume..
Thanks for this review. It was very detailed and I like the fact U included the differences between the plugged and unplugged sound difference. Ur point regarding wanting louder sounds on an open environment is spot on. I share the same sentiments. They should just incorporate a bigger battery instead of decreasing the sound because people expect this Xtreme2 to be louder at least a few decibels up. Ur review is solid gold. U earned urself a subscription from me.👍
Yeah 20Hz instead of 55Hz on the low end would have really made a knock-out difference in the Xtreme 2 bass, you can seriously hear a difference between 20Hz and 70Hz compared to 55Hz and 70Hz. BTW, One of the BEST reviews of comparing these two I've seen all over TH-cam - instant subscribe! ( I honestly went with a $140 used Xtreme 1 because Xtreme 2 is just too new to break the $300 price tag right now. In person it honestly sounds incredible, beyond the quality of recording it videos. However the Xtreme 2 will indeed sound better for sure.)
i hate how everyone says "20Hz would've been better" it would of, but in reality, it is impossible to reproduce. heavy subwoofers have a hard time reaching 20hz, let alone 25.
I just wanted to mention that despite manufacturers stating their speakers can go super low, expecting a speaker of this small size to go to 20 hz is entirely unrealistic. Otherwise, great review. Need one of these bad boys.
@@flexplay9993 And can you charge another device with it? or how long does it take to charge the battery? or even how many Mah does that battery have?? i mean its up to the use, size, and capacity of the battery.
@@flexplay9993 well when it has 3.7V output than yeah you can charge it with 5V but Xtreme has also 5V output to the USB port and the battery is 7.4V it self so the speaker when not charging i assume uses those 7.4V to output 40W and when it is charging may use slightly less to safe battery but still, 5V charging wouldn't be possible due to the battery Voltage :) :D
In term ou sound quality, I would go with the Xtrem rather the Xtrem 2. The overall sound, especially at 100% seems louder and stronger on the Xtrem, where the Xtrem 2 seems saturating a little bit.
Super review friend! Always on point yours! I really don't get what JBL did here woth the Xtreme2. They had 3 f*c**n years to improve the Xtreme and honestly, they just gave it some standard upgrades like IPX7 akd connect +. I really don't get why they didn't imrpove the battery life or made it louder. For me, as a JBL fan, this is probably gonna be a turn off and and I'll buy the pulse 3 or Charge 3 onstead since I already have one Charge 3.
Don't forget that there's the boombox on the market. So if they would make it better than this, it would rich the performance of boombox and everybody would go for the xtreme 2 for 300$ instead of the boombox at 400$+
Love the review but the xtreme 2 is quieter because it emphasizes bass a little more than treble. Every new JBL speaker is going to do this. You can easily adjust the sound with an equalizer though.
I had the JBL Xtreme and I had a lot of problems with the battery after about 1.5 to 2 years in. I sent it out for after service and they contacted me and offered to replace the xtreme with the xtreme 2 for an extra $100 so I went for it. Now waiting for it to arrive but this video makes me much more excited to get it.
Just to clarify, the Xtreme speakers don't have USB charging, because it needs a 19V and 3A power supply. USB won't be very useful there, as it can't handle that kind of power and most USB power sources won't deliver 19Volts at 3Amps...
Btw I really liked your review, your English is good, I could understand you all the video and you refer a lot of details and different aspects. Not like other reviews I've been seen. Thanks!! 🙏
it's all physics brother, 1) If you have speakers with response at say 20Hz then the speaker enclosure volume would be way much bigger to be able to get a decent/useful Sound PressureLevel at around 20Hz, i.e. audible at that frequency, which defeats the purpose of the device being portable 2) It is also possible generate to low frequencies at smalll enclosure volumes however we trade efficiency to achieve that result meaning the device would consume a whole lot of power, i.e. shorter operating periods while on batteries,
I actually prefer my charge 3 to xtreme but I'm literally back to reviews because I'm looking into buying another xtreme in red just because I can't connect a newer speaker to xtreme 1
Loved your review,really helpful,best i checked and i listened to maybe 15-20 reviews on this ( and yes really stupid why they did it,) good job man,keep it up,subscribed because of it
Ended up buying the original after getting a deal on the xtreme , didn't find the sound quality in the extreme 2 worth over £100 extra ( 35% discount vs xtreme 2 ) super happy with the speaker
I had the JBL Charge 3 & loved it, but started having the same battery problems you just talked about!!😳 I was charging it every 1/2hr when I would use it, or would have to keep it plugged in all the time...sometimes that wouldn't even work, which is why I'm looking for another speaker & was considering the Xtreme 2. But after you just said you had the exact same problems w/the battery on your Xtreme I might consider a different brand all together! Too bad, I love how their speakers sound!!😔
Excellent review! Mentioned what others have missed-double sound power output on AC versus battery and how that makes for a dis-favorable comparison versus original Xtreme. Like the frequency response tests and the noted personal experience with the battery charge level issue on the Xtreme (that could only have come from having and using the product over a long time as opposed to a quick studio test).
It’s a tad bit quieter due to the fact that Extreme 2 is more advance more built in things, Fully waterproof, which may mess with the sound escaping out
Surprised they backed down on the volume for the Xtreme 2 - that's the primary con for sure. The bass, mids, treble are all indeed better on the Xtreme 2 though.
What would have been good to integrate in the JBL2 is a small solar panel strip . So you can keep that constant power level up, instead of just relying on your batteries, and the circuitry that is constantly adjusting it self as the batteries are loosing its charge due to using it at a high volume!!!
Nice video! Well, with the XTreme 2, if were out together on a hot day, and I run into an ice cold bottle of Fanta soda, I'm ready for refreshment!LOL!
The reason for not having a 5v usb charging port is because the internal rechargeable battery is 7.4 volts. You can't charge a 7.4v battery with 5v usb power. Unless a less than 5v battery is used. But then the speaker will not sound as loud. Louder sound requires higher power. Higher power needs higher voltage and higher current. That's the reason for the JBL Xtreme not having a USB internal battery charging port.
I think that in terms of what you get for the price, an extreme 1 is a really good purchase right now. Think of what you'd have gotten for that price back in 2015 and compare.
Excellent review. I have had a JBL xtreme now for around a month, so you could say I've arrived kinda late in the game. However, love it bad! At my pace I will probably get round to purchasing the xtreme 2 in a few years from now. By the way, I thought there was negligible difference in the sound test between the 2.
I dont get 1 thing: WHY DONT YOU HAVE 1 MILION SUBS i mean you defently earn them you helped me so much i have orderd the origanal extreme for 135 euro because i had a discount so i think its a good deal what do you guys think
Aether i think the problem is from them making it water proof. I wish JBL would make something only on the splash proof side so the sound quality wouldnt be compromised. Not everyone would be throwing their speakers in the pool. Splash proof would be fine since most of the time it will just be beside the pool where it will just get splashed. Same problem with their charge line thats why i bought the charge 2 plus instead of the newer versions because the sound quality is much better and its still splash proof. Dont need the ip68 bullcrap. Not everyone owns a pool and would be swimming all the time.
Awesome review, I have hesitated about this choice going back and forth for almost a week. I've watched many videos but yours made me decide in an instant. Gonna buy JBL xtreme 2 btw.
Bought the xtreme 2 and compared it with my xtreme 1, no contest, xtreme 1 sounds way better than the xtreme 2, hands down. Btw the factory battery on the xtreme 1 is weak and I replaced it with the Cameron Sino 5000 mAh from Amazon
I can buy the Xtreme for 135 euro's right now and the Xtreme 2 for 210 euro's.. Which one would be the better deal? It's not an upgrade for me because I don't own a bluetooth speaker yet. Thanks!
Thanks for this video it was helpful! I was gonna get the jbl Extreme because it’s $180 but now I’m considering on getting extreme 2 cuz it’s sounds better!
I got the JBL Xtreme and holy shit, it keeps turning on and off luckily, the company run out of JBL Xtremes, but they said there gonna give me the Xtreme 2. So I'm safe
The Extreme 2 has a stronger bass insert, but the xtreme 1 is cleaner and more accurate in its presentation ! The big bass makes the extreme 2 a bit of a muted tinny. If I were buying for music , I would definitely choose the extreme 1 which has a more faithful presentation !
I had the charge 3 sold it and now I'm waiting for the the Xtreme 1 from Amazon is 150€, I searched the internet and saw that the Xtreme 2 does not sounds better than Xtreme 1 at least for 150€ more , on Amazon France the Xtreme 2 is 300€, not worth it for now..in my opinion
I was thinking that is wasn't worth the upgrade but after this video I'm going to do it. I'm quite excited to do it now as I can connect my boombox and charge 3 to it. I also hated the new look of it but now I quite like it. It has grown on my. I hope you can do a video of all the speakers with connect + connected together. That would be awesome. Thanks
The jbl extreme will reproduce all the hz notes that the extreme 2 can play. Just put it in the bass mode. My battery on the extreme is great. Watching the vid the extreme 2 had a flat eq band that I liked better. Just for kicks I played this vid on my extreme..... Btw....a company could say speakers this size can play 20hz but it isn’t going to happen. I appreciate jbl not stating false specs.
I meant the new extreme 2 had a more flat frequency response that I liked better. But playing this vid on my extreme...........not sure it means anything

The reason for not having a 5v usb charging port is because the internal rechargeable battery is 7.4 volts. You can't charge a 7.4v battery with 5v usb power. Unless a less than 5v battery is used. But then the speaker will not sound as loud. Louder sound requires higher power. Higher power needs higher voltage and higher current.
That's the reason for the JBL Xtreme not having a USB internal battery charging port.

You are correct in your analysis of the 2 speaker's. I'm disappointed in how loud the extreme 2 is as well.

Jesse Paz so would you recommend the 1 or 2?
Best comparison video I've seen!!!
The new one sounds better than the old one!! Video should have been 4 seconds long 👍
Great review! Would you say JBL CHARGE 4 or JBL XTREME is better?
If based off sound alone, Xtreme would be it. But I hate my Xtreme cause of it's battery issues. Hope yours is a better one 🤞
20 Hz? TWENTY HERTZ? You're expecting a frequency response that not even some 18 inch speakers can do from a 60 mm driver?
Great review. Awesome sound comparison too.
Wow! Came to this channel and.. Wow! Nice work with this man😊👍🏻
Dudu Dodo Lol er du her
I can buy the Xtreme for 135 euro's right now and the Xtreme 2 for 210 euro's.. Which one would be the better deal? It's not an upgrade for me because I don't own a bluetooth speaker yet. Thanks!
Would like to know as well.
Hopefully they make a firmware to change that output level! Great video!
Nice man..to the point comparison..!!👍
dlx, great review! i have 1 and 2 extremes love both! what jbl did makes no sence to me. know we got the extreme3 to deal with!!! uhgg!!
Thanks for this video it was helpful! I was gonna get the jbl Extreme because it’s $180 but now I’m considering on getting extreme 2 cuz it’s sounds better!
RN the JBL extreme 2 is 150
I got the JBL Xtreme and holy shit, it keeps turning on and off luckily, the company run out of JBL Xtremes, but they said there gonna give me the Xtreme 2. So I'm safe
08:20 Strat sound battle
The Extreme 2 has a stronger bass insert, but the xtreme 1 is cleaner and more accurate in its presentation ! The big bass makes the extreme 2 a bit of a muted tinny. If I were buying for music , I would definitely choose the extreme 1 which has a more faithful presentation !
Nice battle!
Should I buy the xtreme 1. Because it droped at 170 euro
I had the charge 3 sold it and now I'm waiting for the the Xtreme 1 from Amazon is 150€, I searched the internet and saw that the Xtreme 2 does not sounds better than Xtreme 1 at least for 150€ more , on Amazon France the Xtreme 2 is 300€, not worth it for now..in my opinion
Xtreme 1: 60% Xtreme 2: 40% Xtreme 1 mids are waaaaay better much more crystal clear sound
Best reviews out there on TH-cam
Do you know the name of the 4th music track used?
One of the best reviews / comparisons / demos I've seen on the JBL Xtreme 2. Thank you!
Next xtreme 2 vs boombox please .. keep up the best reviews on internet ✌👍
I was thinking that is wasn't worth the upgrade but after this video I'm going to do it. I'm quite excited to do it now as I can connect my boombox and charge 3 to it. I also hated the new look of it but now I quite like it. It has grown on my. I hope you can do a video of all the speakers with connect + connected together. That would be awesome. Thanks
another theory is that the tweeters on the xtreme 1 are boosted so it seems louder
very good and complete review thanks man!
I just brought the JBL XTREME 2 today at TJ MAX for $149
So did I. $160.89 after taxes.
I live in sweden and if i order from amazon it costs like 50 dollars shipping
The jbl extreme will reproduce all the hz notes that the extreme 2 can play. Just put it in the bass mode.
My battery on the extreme is great.
Watching the vid the extreme 2 had a flat eq band that I liked better.
Just for kicks I played this vid on my extreme.....
Btw....a company could say speakers this size can play 20hz but it isn’t going to happen. I appreciate jbl not stating false specs.
I meant the new extreme 2 had a more flat frequency response that I liked better.
But playing this vid on my extreme...........not sure it means anything
Great video as always, bro! Keep it up.
Thanks
