Design JBL Boombox 2

Design JBL Boombox 2

This design of the JBL Boombox 2 is almost a carbon copy of the previous model. In fact, had we put the two together next to each other, it would’ve been hard to pick them out, though JBL wisely changed a few accents to make them less identical. 

For instance, the JBL logo on one side now has an exclamation mark, while the underside of the handle has a little extra color to it.These are definitely subtle cues, especially when you throw in the fact JBL is sticking to both the black and camo variants, leaving no room for any other funky color options. 

The Boombox 2 is also almost exactly the same in size and weight. It’s slightly heavier at 13 lbs. and a smidgen bigger at 10.1 x 19.5 x 7.9. The handle is of the same sturdy material, holding together the big cylindrical design.

The guts inside are equally familiar. You get two passive radiators on the ends with dual 20mm tweeters and two 4-inch woofers under the hood to pump out the big sound. It doesn’t look JBL used different components beyond the newer Bluetooth transmitter that we’ll get to later. 

Buttons are laid out in much the same way, except for a couple of minor shifts. JBL moved the Bluetooth button to share with power, while it’s old spot is taken up by the PartyBoost button. You also get play/pause and volume up/down buttons, along with LED indicators at the bottom to show battery life. Double-clicking play/pause skips a track, but for some reason, JBL didn’t map it to repeat a track with a triple-press after failing to do so with the previous Boombox. 

The back ports retain the same layout, too. You get the power adapter, 3.5mm Aux-In, a USB port to charge phones and other small gadgets, along with a microUSB port for servicing. Other than the power adapter, you get no cables in the box. Not even an Aux-In.

Price and release date JBL Boombox 2

Image
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.

Connectivity and features JBL Boombox 2

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...
