When I first reviewed the UE Megablast a few months ago I didn’t like it at all. It had a whole bunch of missing features, it relied way too much on voice commands, and it just didn’t sound good. The megablast had way too much bass and no mids. But I decided to give the Megablast a second chance. And even though it still has its problems… it actually sounds really good now. So good in fact that I feel its actually up there with the JBL Xtreme 2 with a form factor smaller than the Sony XB41.
I've always liked the Bose Soundlink Micro, but I must admit that it is expensive for what it is. But now theres the JBL Clip 3, an ultra portable bluetooth speaker that I feel is a better bang for your buck then the Bose Soundlink Micro. The JBL Clip 3 doesn't sound as good as the Bose Soundlink Micro but the JBL Clip 3 has a much more useful battery life at a fraction of the price.
When ever I do a versus video I always take price into consideration… but not today. Today we’re going to compare the three most popular 360 degree speakers right now. We have one of my most favorite products, the JBL Pulse 3… the elegant Bose Soundlink Revolve Plus… and the somewhat improved UE Megablast. These 3 speakers don’t just look very different, they also have very different approaches to how they produce their 360 degree sound.
For the last few months Bose has been releasing innovative, but weird products… like their new sleep buds which are supposed to help you sleep better, and their wearable Soundwear companion speaker which is a $300 speaker you wear around your neck… I mean yeah it sound good but it is a pretty tough sell. But today we’re breaking down Bose’s portable speaker line up which I also feel is a little wired. We’ve got the Bose Soundlink Micro, The Soundlink Color 2, The Soundlink Revolve and the sound link Revolve Plus.
Today we’re going to break down JBL’s current portable speaker line up. Everything from the small and affordable but surprisingly useful Clip 3, the work horse that is the JBL Flip 4, the Old man Charge 3, the incredible looking Pulse 3, the versatile Xtreme 2 and the big daddy JBL Boombox. Lets find out which of these speakers is right for you.
Why Get the JBL Xtreme2 when for not that much more you can just upgrade to the JBL Boombox. And to that I say its kinds of like picking between the iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus... Galaxy S9 or the Galaxy S9 Plus. Sure there are some improvements when picking the JBL Boombox, but you also have to take into account size preference and what your needs are. And for some people they'll might be better off going with the JBL Xtreme 2. So if you need help deciding checkout this JBL Boombox Vs JBL Xtreme2 video.
Both the JBL Xtreme 2 and Sony XB41 are all new for 2018. And if you're in the market for a new large portable bluetooth speaker then the JBL Xtreme 2 and Sony XB41 are your most popular options out there. Personally I really like both the Sony XB41 and JBL Xtreme 2, but depending on your needs one will might be better for you than the other. So watch this Sony XB41 Vs JBL Xtreme 2 video to find out which one is right for you!
The JBL Xtreme 2 is finally here! And for the most part the JBL Xtreme 2 is a refined JBL Xtreme. And over all the JBL Xtreme 2 is a good speaker... but personally I did expect a little more. Even though the JBL Xtreme 2 sounds better, has an IPX7 certification, and JBL Connect Plus I would have liked if the JBL Xtreme 2 had a better battery life, an out doors mode button like the JBL Boombox, and maybe even quick charging.
