Connectivity and features JBL Boombox 2

Using a different Bluetooth transmitter means JBL had to cut loose some of the original Boombox’s compatibility. That model had a button called Connect+ that paired with other JBL speakers to play the same music simultaneously — or in stereo as left and right channels. It’s gone now, and so is any connection with the Connect+ app, putting the Boombox 2 into a different ecosystem of connectivity.

Basically, if you had the Boombox 2, while a friend had the original Boombox, you would have no way of pairing them together because PartyBoost uses different protocols. While you could do the same type of speaker pairing like you could with Connect+, this speaker can only do it with those also supporting PartyBoost.

JBL also ditched the separate Indoor and Outdoor modes the previous model had. The company thinks its tuning and audio engineering makes it sound great in both environments, negating the need to toggle between them. Unfortunately, there’s no equalizer or any way of tweaking the audio output to adjust how the speaker sounds. What you hear is what you get.

And that leads us to an odd omission. While the Boombox 2 is a Bluetooth speaker, it doesn’t support the two best codecs using it: aptX and AAC. We can understand that most Bluetooth speakers won’t support both, yet charging north of $400 means it’s something that should probably be there. It’s true that this is hardly aimed at audiophiles, but a higher price point should come with extra functionality, particularly when it affects sound quality.

Price and release date JBL Boombox 2

Price and release date JBL Boombox 2 The JBL Boombox 2 was unveiled at CES 2020 and was released in April. In terms of price, the Boombox 2 retails for $449.99 / £399.99 (around AU$650). That's a fair bit more expensive than our favorite water-resistant speaker, the UE Wonderboom 2, that only costs around $69.99 / £89.99 / AU$129, but the Boombox 2 certainly has the Wonderboom beat in terms of max volume. If you want to split the difference there's the larger, more powerful UE Megaboom 3 that comes in at $200 / £170 / AU$300, and can be paired up with other Ultimate Ears speakers.
