The JBL offers a better-balanced sound profile out-of-the-box and a wider and more immersive-sounding soundstage.

The sub-bass synth hits that punctuate the beat are powerful, but not as in-your-face as the beefed-up drum loop—this isn't normally the case. Its battery can also last for almost 24 hours, which is very useful if you want to take it on longer excursions where you don't have access to an outlet. That doesn’t make the speaker bad — far from it — but it does mean that this is better for newcomers to the Boombox, not existing users.A covered panel on the back of the speaker houses connections for the included power supply, a USB port for charging mobile devices, a micro USB port for service only, and a 3. It has a fairly well-balanced sound profile, although it lacks a bit of low-bass, and doesn't produce as deep a bass as the next-generation JBL Boombox 3. Using a different Bluetooth transmitter means JBL had to cut loose some of the original Boombox’s compatibility. It's better-built, and has an incredible battery life, lasting almost 24 hours from a single charge in our tests, though this can vary depending on your usage. However, the Boombox has a longer battery life as well as an IPX7 rating for water resistance, although we don't currently test for this.

It offers a better-balanced sound profile that can produce a more extended low-bass than the TREBLAB.But overall, the port set up on the Boombox 3 gets the job done and its very similar to the port set up on the Boombox 2… but I was really hoping the Boombox 3 would have dual USB C ports on it that would allow you charge your own devices and use them as wired connection.

JBL is after that kind of social outing with the JBL Boombox 2, a portable Bluetooth speaker whose primary mission is to get loud. It also offers a longer-lasting battery life, though this can depend on your usage, and your experience may vary. Also, any downloadable content (DLC) or codes that usually come with these items are likely to have been redeemed already and are not available for reuse.but more importantly, this speaker can be connected to 2 devices at the same time so that you and a friend can both be DJ, and this speaker has zero latency across the board when watching movies or videos on your phone whether you using an iPhone or an android device. And personally, I do feel that this makes life a little easier cause its easier to replace this cable if anything happens to it… or if you go to a friend’s house and you need to charge your speaker, chances are… they will might have one of these cables. That said, the Sony comes with a mic/guitar input you can use to wire an external mic or guitar to the speaker.

Fortunately, there's a graphic EQ featured in its companion app you can use to tweak its sound to your liking.You can pair two devices to it at the same time, which is useful if you want to frequently switch your audio source between your phone and your laptop.
