Today we are talking about a\u00a0\u00a0wireless portable speaker\u00a0that stands out first of all for its price.\u00a0If you want to take it home with you, you will have to make a fairly significant outlay, but is it really worth it?\u00a0Let’s see it.\u00a0Today we put on our overalls and get down to business, to talk at length about this device.\u00a0This is the\u00a0\u00a0JBL Boombox 2\u00a0, a jewel from\u00a0\u00a0JBL\u00a0that wants to take away the prominence at parties in exchange for making you enjoy yourself much more.<\/p>\n

Is it worth paying this amount of money for this speaker?\u00a0We find out all about it below.\u00a0Its advantages, its disadvantages and its best offers.\u00a0In cases like this, it is even more important that we look for the cheapest price possible to save a good amount of money.<\/p>\n

JBL Boombox 2 Design<\/h2>\n

This JBL Boombox 2 has a size of\u00a0\u00a0484 x 256 x 201\u00a0\u00a0mm\u00a0\u00a0and a weight of\u00a0\u00a05.9 kg\u00a0.\u00a0As you can see, it is quite forceful, so it is not a device that we can carry comfortably in a suitcase or backpack.\u00a0Power you can, but obviously it is not the most suitable model for this purpose.<\/p>\n

It comes with\u00a0\u00a0IPX7 resistance\u00a0, which makes it quite resistant to water, although not dust.\u00a0Therefore, you can use it in the pool with peace of mind, but not on the beach or in the countryside.\u00a0Or, in case of doing it in these areas, always very carefully.\u00a0What if it starts to rain?\u00a0Nothing really, because it also resists this type of splashes and jets of water.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

In the upper part we have the\u00a0\u00a0button panel\u00a0, with six buttons to control our music from here and that anyone can increase the volume or change the song.\u00a0At the rear we find the charging port, protected by a cover, precisely to make it more watertight and prevent water from entering.<\/p>\n

It also highlights its\u00a0\u00a0handle\u00a0\u00a0so that we can take it from one place to another in an easier way.\u00a0This is important, since, as we have commented, it is a fairly heavy model.\u00a0It does not have a screen\u00a0\u00a0and\u00a0\u00a0does not include a remote control\u00a0, two points that we would have liked to see included in this speaker.<\/p>\n

We have it available in various colors such as black and camouflage.\u00a0It depends if you want a more sober touch or a very original design.\u00a0Are you more daring or more classic?\u00a0You decide which one to buy.<\/p>\n

Sound by JBL Signature Pro Sound<\/h2>\n

If we talk about its sound quality, it is worth noting first of all the\u00a0\u00a0JBL Signature Pro Sound\u00a0technology , which offers us scandalous sound power.\u00a0We could not expect less considering that we are dealing with a premium quality speaker.\u00a0In addition, we also mentioned that in this device, special emphasis is placed on bass and bass, which are more powerful and clearer.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

It includes\u00a0\u00a0two 40 W tweeters and two 40 W woofers each\u00a0.\u00a0In total,\u00a0160 W\u00a0of power to shake the foundations.\u00a0The dynamic frequency response is\u00a050 Hz \u2013 20 kHz\u00a0.\u00a0The result is a clear sound, without distortion even at very high volumes and with great quality, especially in those bass lines that we have mentioned.<\/p>\n

We also want to highlight that it incorporates\u00a0\u00a0JBL PartyBoost\u00a0.\u00a0What is it?\u00a0It is a technology that allows us to connect several JBL speakers together in order to multiply the sound power.\u00a0You will have no limits.<\/p>\n

Connectivity and battery<\/h2>\n

We are now talking about two other very interesting points in this type of speaker: connectivity and battery.\u00a0As that famous advertisement said, power without control is nothing, therefore, these two sections are very important and must always be taken into account before choosing a new speaker.<\/p>\n

We can use it wirelessly.\u00a0To do this, we can make use of its\u00a0Bluetooth 5.1\u00a0connectivity .\u00a0It does not have WiFi, NFC or AirPlay.\u00a0Something fair in this section, but, in any case, enough to be able to enjoy music without cables.\u00a0We would have liked it to have other options, such as the aforementioned WiFi or NFC, but, as it is not the case, we have to settle for Bluetooth 5.1, which gives us a very stable connection, without interference and without unwanted cuts that would cut us off on the Internet. party.<\/p>\n

For its part, the battery offers us very interesting data.\u00a0It has a brutal capacity of\u00a0\u00a010,000 mAh\u00a0, with a\u00a0\u00a0USB\u00a0port to charge it.\u00a0The charging time is\u00a0\u00a06.5 hours\u00a0and in return we will have a range of\u00a0\u00a024 hours\u00a0.\u00a0Spectacular.\u00a0You will not have anything to reproach for in this section, since you can even use it while it is charging, so that these six and a half hours will become less heavy for you.<\/p>\n
