I think "low frequency mode" is not a feature. It is just some sort of "service code" that turns off the high pass filter. It could actually be bad for the speaker since it is limited for a reason...
yes, the high pass filter helps protecting the woofers from low frequencies that make them go beyond their excursion limits, without it they might start bottoming out
@@cezarlixeanu Yeah as far as I know passive radiator is similar to the port and with the ported box if you go below the tuning at some point speaker is going to start unloading and going out of control without producing any real frequency. That is why pretty much all active subwoofer have high pass filter.
High pass filter, lol wtf you have no idea This "LFM" mode disables DSP processing completely. And since there is no DSP, the drivers get to play the full range of frequencies, even 1hz tones. At 60% volume, 35hz actually sounds amazing with DSP off. But turn it higher and you'll notice distortion, since the small drivers aren't capable of putting out this much bass.
LFM is actually just turning off the DSP unit. It rly is useless. And btw when u turn the speaker off and on its in normal mode but like i said. Dont use it. It could possibly do damage to the speaker. I have damaged a jbl speaker of mine from the mode before.
If you play it at high volumes, which is literally the only way to blow a speaker/overdrive the amplifier, then why are you wondering? This mode actually helped me identify if sound crackling issues came from the amplifier or the DSP. Turned out it was only the DSP that made crackling sounds.
@@svenexplay i cant confirm this! lol, my bathtub side was moving and it was making sound. it's pretty good for a portable speaker, tho for the same price u can just get a decent sound system in ur house,
*Listen, do NOT use 'Low Frequency Mode'* It does not exist, its just a service mode which disables DSP and CAN damage the speaker and it WILL if you use it at high volumes for a longer period of time. It won't sound any better at all too! Alot of electronics have these things, TV's for example, you could literally overclock your TV or higher the wattage the internal speakers are receiving. These things are NOT things you should be messing with and as soon as you do so, you'll probably completely remove the warranty. If you really want more bass out of your speaker just place it in a acoustically treated room, in a corner. You could also use a equalizer or simply get a different speaker with a subwoofer for example. It is and will be a bluetooth speaker, not a portable sub.

"low frequency mode" turns off the limiting, eq and lowpasses/highpasses. It is meant for JBL for diagnostics. It exists but it has been named wrong by the ignorant people who look at a speaker an think "bass go BBRRRRRRR".
nicolas abc I’m a fan of the bigger JBL Speakers like the Partybox And the boombox, even the PA Speakers. I feel like the smaller ones just aren’t as good.
@@jwwr8408 the bigger ones seem to be good right now but charge 4 and flip 4 are straight up downgrade. And there are rumours that extreme 3 will be a mono speaker 😵
LF mode? Nope, it's just gonna make your speaker sound like crap. Don't try it. Don't listen to those kids asking you to turn on LF mode. It's just gonna make the passive radiator move (a lot) and, it doesn't give you that lower end.
I can bet a million dollar that you dont have one of these because you would know that it is NOT making it sound like crap and that it is making the radiator move a lot more than normal
Btw I just like hearing and seeing bass and like testing JBL Speakers Limits so I’m not a fanboy just making vids for JBL fanboys and acting like one lol
@@iwontlagback7236 oh wow, I have one JBL Charge 3. And it sounds like CRAP if LF mode is activated. It looses that low end which for me, it's crap. Same as the Xtreme 2 if LF mode is activated it sounds like crap.
For the low freqency mode press Bluetooth and minus Button For 10 seconds to Turn off the low Frequency Mode by Pressing + and Bluetooth button … the Box will Turn off After That … u can Turn ist back on ☺️
first of all you just press bt and - to turn it off too, and it is a service mode which can damage the speaker AND doesn't make it sound better in any way. its there for testing and will fry the amp or blow out the drivers if you use it at high volumes for too long. Don't use it, its not supposed to be used
the 'low frequency mode' is just a service mode. it simply 'removes the bass' by pressing and holding the bluetooth button and the volume down button for 10 seconds. 'low frequency mode' is enabled by default most of the times. Only rare occasions sound flat and have no bass which means that the service mode is on
JBL Bass Tester Just read my other comment. This is just an explanation to all those kids who call themselves experts in audio but have never heard of DSP
JBL Bass Tester this was my other comment: *Listen, do NOT use 'Low Frequency Mode'* It does not exist, its just a service mode which disables DSP and CAN damage the speaker and it WILL if you use it at high volumes for a longer period of time.

crised well that's a better explanation than saying "it is turned on by default sometimes" (which is wrong of course) All i wanted to say is this: "LFM" actually disabled all signal processing from the speaker, which means that audio signal will only be amplified without any adjustment (i.e. band pass filters, artificial amplification, ...) So it should actually be called DSP off mode.
There is lfm, its just not something JBL wanted buyers to find out because it can damage the speaker, but lfm doesn't give any actual bass output, it turns off DSP. So as you can assume small drivers at 20hz will not give off any actual clean bass
I am very happy with my JBL Xtreme 1 The "LFM" mode just disables the frequency limiter but the amplifier isnt good enough for that, those who use the "lfm" for long time and loud just destroy their amp inside speaker...
In Portugal we have a store named "Fnac" (Yes, Fnac. Not FNaF) and I played it on the store, it makes the air all around you vibrate alot. I also listened to a Flip 5 in a classroom and it also vibrated the air although a bit less.
Just stumbled upon your decent review of the Extreme 2 by JBl. I watched dozens of videos before finally settling on this, a black colored version as opposed to your red one which I use in my kitchen. I already have the Marshall Stanmore speaker mark i. I Did not want another, but something with more bass... I checked out and bought the Bose 300 sound link, the Denon home 350 speaker and the Flip 4 by JBL. Tested them all within a weekend. Was not impressed... I realized something was missing in all of them. Bass! What I realized as well is that not all speakers are for all types pf music, but you can do something to enhance your listening pleasure if you invest in or download for free, a graphic equalizer, which I did before I already had the Marshall speaker in 2017 with real bass and treble controls onboard. Although the sound is clearer on the Marshall, I took the other three speakers back to the store and went for the Extreme 2. Why? Because it is designed for bass where as the others are not. Sure they have bass, but do not handle lower frequencies as well without losing their mids or highs. Bose and Denon sound great without a doubt, but cannot go deep enough without losing the highs and midrange. If guitar ( Rock, classical, Spanish, acoustic, etc ) is what you want, the Marshall Stanmore is excellent for those genres. But if bass orientated music such as all forms of EDM, Hip Hop, Reggae and Soul music is your thing, I highly recommend the Extreme 2. What I use is an updated Apple iPod, an iPhone and a Fiio latest generation mp3 player with music recorded using FLAC files to enhance the sound on the Extreme 2 speaker as well as on my Stanmore. It really does make a difference. And as someone mentioned, if you place the speaker in a corner or even at a certain distance your listening experience will be better. Shop staff whack up the volume, customer gets impressed, then goes home and does not appreciate the sound from the speaker unless the conditions are right... If you are particular, of course! Of course if you just want volume and lots of bass this is one ideal choice. If you want to enhance that volume with quality, you can, pay more for something else.

Hoold up, you work for JBL? If yes, is that true JBL stopped manufacturing because of Covid-19, and that's why I did not found ANY Xtreme 2 in my country?

Actually, I checked every electronic store within 30 km, and didn't found any.
lfm is a thing and i know for sure because i have a jbl speaker myself and it works by holding the pairing and volume down keys for 10 seconds then the light on the power on/off button will flash and then you are ready to go but if you do use it dont use on a high volume because it can damage the speaker and also battery life will be greatly affected if you do
@@frankyg2267 i cant be bothered to argue and i am just going to say go on my channel and look at the older videos of my jbl flip 4 or just search for jbl lfm and you will see that in fact it does exist
Put it it low frequency mode by holding the bluetooth button and volume down button at the same time for 10 seconds. Once in low frequency mode turn it up full volume to make BASS
Dude the JBL Boombox is very bad for the price. A Partybox 100 would be the wiser choice, but that's more of a portable party speaker that is sufficient enough
My Stoner Mind i've got the Partybox 100 and 300. Frequency response begins at 39hz on the 100, and 33hz on the 300. Here is a very good comparison between the Partybox 100 and Boombox 2 by the way: th-cam.com/video/ba0Mqk8qeZU/w-d-xo.html
Low frequency mode or dslr off is a mode on a jbl to make your bass softer (lower frequency) and its a real thing (how to turn on dslr off) hold the volume down plus the Bluetooth for about 10 seconds or until the connect+ button lights up please pin (Edit) sorry for my spelling and its called dsp off
*Warning!* Do not activate *”LFM”* It’s just turning off the *DSP - Digital Sound Processor, Limiter* so My Stoner Mind Please do not do that no matter what
AyeNash not like fully blow the drivers just that it will not play clean sound and deep bass and the amp will just play music then cut then play cause it’s damaged
I have tested some of the smaller Sony BT speakers (2018 and 2019 model year, price 90-150€) and they did not sound as good as JBL counterparts. But after using a lot of EQ in their app I got them soud reasonable. Still not great ☹️.
@@Pantosoft Oh, nice to hear that SRS-XB10 has worked great for you! I haven't tested that myself. I would say that SRS-XB31 is not a bad speaker. But to get it perform I needed to use a lot of EQ in the app. Even after that it didn't quite have as fast and good bass control, high resolution mids or clear highs than JBL Flip 4 (I had them two days side by side). The output level capability was about the same. SRS-XB31 just didn't sound as "live like" as Flip 4. Of course observed sound quality is a matter of taste thing. But I'm actually HiFi / high end audio professional designer (have been 15 years). And I have also been retailing many, many audio products, so I have pretty decent base for making comparisons. Still this is only my opinion and other people could have a different taste - that's okay 😊. P.S. I was actually quite impressed how good sound you could get with the Flip 4 (I haven't listened the newer version). I preferred its sound compared to the next larger JBL speaker (which was noticeably louder and went somewhat deeper but was not as clear or punchy). I typically work with systems costing 100x - 5000x more.
JBL DESTROYER It doesn't change anything at all. It makes the speaker sound flat and enables the amp to output frequencies it normally couldn't and shouldn't. The drivers are not made for this and will blow within a matter of minutes. If you really want bass you shouldn't've bought a portable bluetooth speaker in the first place, but an actual decent audio system with for example a sub
My stoner mind lfm is real ... of course it doesn't state it on the Manuel because jbl doesn't want you to damage your speaker. Don't use lfm ... but if you really want to ... hold volume down and bluetooth for 10 seconds . I'm just trying to prove LFM is real
Jbl speakers are good But the LOW FREQUENCY MODE is usless becouse you can break the spiders if you use them on lfm Btw the xtreme 2 on battery is only 30w use the plug to get better sound and bass
Pasha Es actually managed to rip the voice coil off of the spider on his Flip 5. It was put on a lot of stress though, but still an example for the potential risk of using this mode,
The "LFM" mode just disables the DSP in the speaker, allowing the speaker to reproduces lower frequencies. It will damage your speaker. Do not use it. If you want low frequencies, get a subwoofer.
its a service mode for testing, for JBL only. It disables DSP and can damage the speaker badly. Don't ever use it, it doesn't change the sound in any positive way it just allows the amp to produce frequencies it normally shouldn't because it WILL damage the amp or the drivers
JBL XTREME 2 COLOUR : RED MODEL : PL INFO : PL IS STRONG AND BASSY WOOFERS : PL HAS NORMAL DUSTCUP AND DIFFRENT WOOFERS FROM GG GG HAS INVERTED DUSTCUP LFM INFO : XTREME 2 PL IS STRONG EVEN ON LFM AND DIFFRENT FROM OTHER MODELS FOR EXAMPLE GG ALSO MAKE SURE NOT TO USE MUCH LFM IN XTREME 2 CUZ IT BREAKS KINDA FAST TALKING GENERALLY
It is a service mode, disables DSP and all safety features. Can fry your amp or blow out the drivers. It just there for JBL for testing measures and doesn't even make it sound better in any way
For LFM, Hold the Volume down button + Bluetooth button for 10 seconds or until you see the light at top flash. If it doesn’t sound right just do it one more time.
honestly thought i think that the powerADD Dee-G speaker sounds a little bit better than the jbl considering its size... what do you think stoney whats ur opinion???

Nice its an great speaker especially at AC mode (gives 10 more watts) im not an complete fanboy! Edit: i love the red jbls
Listening to a video of this video filming a jbl on a jbl
nice username
You can turn on low frequency mode just pressing the Bluetooth button and the volume down button at the same time
Niice listening on it!
LFM is a mode that turns off the DSP (bass limiter). I made my flip 5 do 3hz on LFM loll
I think that we both agree that LFM isn't useless. What a shame that you can't turn on LFM on a Partybox 200.
@@xrvd it is on the flip 5 on low volume, the bass gets completely cut off on low volumes
@@asduhaisjdjasd ok
@@xrvd nice pb 200 tho
don't use lfm, it damages the speakers. it is a debug mode.
Awesome 😍🔥
He is not gonna go with big
He is gonna go with XTREME
yea
Use the song Wizard fatality
lfm is a thing and i know for sure because i have a jbl speaker myself and it works by holding the pairing and volume down keys for 10 seconds then the light on the power on/off button will flash and then you are ready to go but if you do use it dont use on a high volume because it can damage the speaker and also battery life will be greatly affected if you do
wrong it's not a thing, and non of the JBL speakers have "low frequency mode" even the JBL technicians say so.
@@frankyg2267 i cant be bothered to argue and i am just going to say go on my channel and look at the older videos of my jbl flip 4 or just search for jbl lfm and you will see that in fact it does exist
Maybe i can agree about the name because it wasnt given from jbl but a mode that turns off the dsp exists
Put it it low frequency mode by holding the bluetooth button and volume down button at the same time for 10 seconds. Once in low frequency mode turn it up full volume to make BASS
sady main to also generate DISTORTION
@@supernova8948 yer but its cool though
@mystonormind its is a thing google it
That is a service mode which makes it sound really bad but with no limiter
@@skity1233 he shouldn't try it. It's just gonna sound like crap.
If you want to activate LFM you will have to press volume down and pair untill all the light up buttons light up completely white
you mean the way I did it in the video right?
@@MyStonerMind420 ah feck i literally got to 2:34 my bad
You should of got a boombox, its impressive
it would only impress me if I'd never heard a proper sound system before.
Dude the JBL Boombox is very bad for the price. A Partybox 100 would be the wiser choice, but that's more of a portable party speaker that is sufficient enough
@@jblbasstester6198 Partybox 100 does have a lower frequency response than the Boombox, I wonder how sound quality compares.
My Stoner Mind i've got the Partybox 100 and 300. Frequency response begins at 39hz on the 100, and 33hz on the 300.
Here is a very good comparison between the Partybox 100 and Boombox 2 by the way: th-cam.com/video/ba0Mqk8qeZU/w-d-xo.html
@@MyStonerMind420 hahahahhaaha lmao thats my guy right there
While your charging it you can make it louder by charnging it i am not a jbl fan but i am a bose fan
Did you update the speaker ?
Nice sir
yep! ill definitely be picking one up next month! (when i get paid lol)
Finally he got a JBL too😅
yes. Got to the comments a bit late too, but I see the aftermath of whatever's happened :3
LFM is activate using dev mode. It's like a secret. On a Flip 4 press and hold - and bluetooth pair to do it.
Test it outside comparing to your other speakers
lfm just disables the subsonic filter thats set to 55hz
there is the low frequency mode, and when I activated it the bass was scary
Yay finally a jbl
UE boom/Megaboom/wonderboom next?
Imo these are not great sounding speakers. They lack deeeper bass and upper treble, while also compressing signal at higher volumes.
Had a flip 3 se and it was good for the size but it got stolen
Oof I just got a flip 4 and it is noice
Low frequency mode or dslr off is a mode on a jbl to make your bass softer (lower frequency) and its a real thing (how to turn on dslr off) hold the volume down plus the Bluetooth for about 10 seconds or until the connect+ button lights up please pin
(Edit) sorry for my spelling and its called dsp off
*Warning!* Do not activate *”LFM”* It’s just turning off the *DSP - Digital Sound Processor, Limiter* so My Stoner Mind Please do not do that no matter what
it won't brake it, thr only way you can brake it is doing LFM all day every day
alex ferguson61 or playing it a full volume for hours on end, that will blow it.
AyeNash not like fully blow the drivers just that it will not play clean sound and deep bass and the amp will just play music then cut then play cause it’s damaged
@@AyyNash727 i remembered my friend has a jbl flip 4 and he always turns on lfm and amplifier is toast
Yeah you should not put it at full volume but 50% is ok
sony speaker next?
I have tested some of the smaller Sony BT speakers (2018 and 2019 model year, price 90-150€) and they did not sound as good as JBL counterparts. But after using a lot of EQ in their app I got them soud reasonable. Still not great ☹️.
xb41👍👍
The one I had most experience with (tuned it few hours for my friend) was Sony SRS-XB31. imo that was inferior to JBL Flip 4 on all areas of sound.
@@tkermi i was looking to buy that lol. I currently have an srs-xb10 and I was really surprised for 50 bucks! I want a bigger speaker tho.
@@Pantosoft Oh, nice to hear that SRS-XB10 has worked great for you! I haven't tested that myself. I would say that SRS-XB31 is not a bad speaker. But to get it perform I needed to use a lot of EQ in the app. Even after that it didn't quite have as fast and good bass control, high resolution mids or clear highs than JBL Flip 4 (I had them two days side by side). The output level capability was about the same. SRS-XB31 just didn't sound as "live like" as Flip 4.
Of course observed sound quality is a matter of taste thing. But I'm actually HiFi / high end audio professional designer (have been 15 years). And I have also been retailing many, many audio products, so I have pretty decent base for making comparisons. Still this is only my opinion and other people could have a different taste - that's okay 😊.
P.S. I was actually quite impressed how good sound you could get with the Flip 4 (I haven't listened the newer version). I preferred its sound compared to the next larger JBL speaker (which was noticeably louder and went somewhat deeper but was not as clear or punchy). I typically work with systems costing 100x - 5000x more.
Its a service mode but us addicts make excursion vids with it 🤣
Yeppp it’s pretty fun tho ngl
It doesnt even make it sound better or such and it can fry the amp
crised ya jbl testers don’t care if they break. We just like testing the capabilities of the speaker drivers and amps.
JBL DESTROYER It doesn't change anything at all. It makes the speaker sound flat and enables the amp to output frequencies it normally couldn't and shouldn't. The drivers are not made for this and will blow within a matter of minutes. If you really want bass you shouldn't've bought a portable bluetooth speaker in the first place, but an actual decent audio system with for example a sub
LFM is a test mode press minus and bluetooth for 10 seconds to activate it
Hello
@@DANU-SH-TUTORIALE hi u found me!
@@bigupbassline58 lfm = distortion, fried amp, blown driver, bottoming out
@@ArnoldGaming i know that's how i broke my flip 5
Do the Sony xb-43 if you can plzzz I think it's better than the jbl Xtreme 2 but hey that's just me.
That's funny you can damage the speaker by pressing buttons the wrong way LOL I think you should try it
speaker gang the lights will be different so you can see when it is on
Low frequency mode is a thing it’s not fake and I have a JBL charge 4 and it gladly goes under 55 hz
lfm is ass. lfm = distortion, bottoming out, and destroying woofer and amp
It doesn't change the frequency response of the speaker itself bruh
Use low frequency mode on it
Very good sound
Try the studio 5. The xtreme 2 will sound like a toy against the harman. ;)
I don't think it really matters, they're different in size so it's only normal. The Studio 5 however is a weird shape and gets a hard pass from me.
Nice
Low frequency mode is just a mode where the amp goes on max and it will clip and overpower the woofers so it will die
press power button 5 times hold last press if it doesnt turn off
My stoner mind lfm is real ... of course it doesn't state it on the Manuel because jbl doesn't want you to damage your speaker. Don't use lfm ... but if you really want to ... hold volume down and bluetooth for 10 seconds . I'm just trying to prove LFM is real
It exists, but it's not meant to be used by customers. It's a debug mode used by JBL.
It was a £189 pounds in currys but ive just looked and its gone back. Andy England 🇬🇧👍
Jbl speakers are good
But the LOW FREQUENCY MODE is usless becouse you can break the spiders if you use them on lfm
Btw the xtreme 2 on battery is only 30w use the plug to get better sound and bass
And toast the coil.
Pasha Es actually managed to rip the voice coil off of the spider on his Flip 5. It was put on a lot of stress though, but still an example for the potential risk of using this mode,
@@jblbasstester6198 I know right. That's good that we have pasha es :)
Yes ❤️jbl
Yes🌊😂
low frequency mode exists but its not supposed to be used.
you can activate the LFM by pressing and holding the bluetooth and minus button simultaneously for 10 seconds. Warning, the speaker could burn out. :)
it's not LFM because there is no such thing, JBL techs even say there is no such thing and he did that in the vid already.
@@frankyg2267 your're wrong
@@frankyg2267 there is but its just a fancy name for it. All it does is turn off the dsp unit.
you mean like I did in the video? :3
The "LFM" mode just disables the DSP in the speaker, allowing the speaker to reproduces lower frequencies. It will damage your speaker. Do not use it. If you want low frequencies, get a subwoofer.
lfm is known as the secret mode
It's disabling it's DSP and that's not secret anymore since 5y
its a service mode for testing, for JBL only. It disables DSP and can damage the speaker badly. Don't ever use it, it doesn't change the sound in any positive way it just allows the amp to produce frequencies it normally shouldn't because it WILL damage the amp or the drivers
There is Lfm people just don't know how to enable it
lmao screw lfm easy way for distortion and to ruin your speakers. Also move on to better stuff.
@@ArnoldGaming ye I put my jbl flip es on lfm and I been put it for 2years and still verry Loud

@@BrickstarYT idk I decided all in caps
JBL es Nice
Yes I got jbl es
HOW TO LOW FREQUENCY
FIRST LOW BUTTON AND BLUETOOTH
SEE WILL HAPENNDS
Press caps lock key see what happens
Maybe watch the video all the way through too.
It is a service mode, disables DSP and all safety features. Can fry your amp or blow out the drivers. It just there for JBL for testing measures and doesn't even make it sound better in any way
For LFM, Hold the Volume down button + Bluetooth button for 10 seconds or until you see the light at top flash. If it doesn’t sound right just do it one more time.
@AyeNash There is no real Lfm it’s just disables the digital sound compressor limiter. That’s why the sound is overridden in this mode.
I have Logitech z213 and I hear the bass
Plug the speaker in it gains wattage
Harman kardon citation 200 😃😃😃
honestly thought i think that the powerADD Dee-G speaker sounds a little bit better than the jbl considering its size... what do you think stoney whats ur opinion???
JBL charge 4 gang where are you at
Anyone else listening on JBL xtreme 2?
You should play some of your tracks on low frequency mode.
low frequency mode = dsp off, fried amp, blown driver, distortion, bottoming out
@@ArnoldGaming yes I'm aware
Throw it in water for thext video
Yoooo I have an Xtreme 2, Lfm does make it sound different but the bass is different which makes it louder, But AC Mode is quite good
yeS
When u buy and inbox jbl bluetooth speaker and u think full volume I need bass at full volume bruuuuuuuttttttttttttttttttttt sound breaks your heart like who all agree
