What customers say about "Key Specs"
 
JBL Charge 2+ Portable Bluetooth Speaker
  • This is an excellent speaker. I went for this version rather than the newer Charge 3 as I read this one to be better, and the reviews weren’t wrong.
  • Crystal clear sound and enough bass for anyone’s needs. I’ve noticed some speakers aren’t loud enough, especially when using outside however this speaker certainly isn’t the case.
  • Battery is also very good and I only charge it once a week at most. Anyone looking for a decent Bluetooth speaker, definitely pick this one. You won’t be disappointed.
  • The JBL charge delivers brilliant sound from top end and has a nice round bass/low end.
  • Battery life doesn't last as long as it used to when new, but that's with anything brand new.

JBL Charge 2+ Portable Bluetooth Speaker
  • That's what you need !!! Not too big, not too small. Sounds really good, looks nice.
  • The speaker is convenient to use in almost any place - as an acoustics for a laptop, outdoors, when riding a bicycle
  • The model fits perfectly in the hand and allows you to transport it in any bag or backpack.
  • I like that it can fit on my bike instead of a bottle.
  • A heavy speaker in order to take with you to nature, it is better to buy more smaller speaker than that.

What customers say about "Features"
 
JBL Charge 2+ Portable Bluetooth Speaker
  • The design is made of a nice soft-touch plastic and a metal “grill”.
  • The lower part is rubberized for better fixation on the surface. Large woofers are placed on the sides to give surround bass.
  • The speaker is cool, I bought it 2.5 years ago, it still works perfectly with everyday hours of use.
  • This speaker has amazing sound for its size but it has a BIG weakness. It's battery!
  • This speaker used to have a 12 hour battery life and after just 2.5 years it only lasts barely 2 hours before it's flat.

What customers say about "Interfaces"
 
JBL Charge 2+ Portable Bluetooth Speaker
  • The JBL Charge 2 is a well-designed, durable portable Bluetooth speaker that features excellent battery life and doubles as an external charger for your portable devices.
  • It also has built-in speakerphone capabilities, plays loudly for its size, and offers relatively strong bass.
  • I really liked the powerbank function because you can always recharge the phone from the speaker.
  • Bought this speaker two years ago and the charger cable has also bugged out.
  • The speaker distorts with certain material, particularly with bass-heavy tracks and more complicated songs.
