Plus the signal held up when within its Bluetooth distance limits. Note that each JBL speaker must be Connect+ compatible-not all are.īluetooth pairing was quick and painless. It’s a ridiculous number, but JBL’s point is that any and all compatible JBL speakers you own will connect for multi-room audio or to just show off. JBL’s Connect + allows up to 100 JBL wireless speakers to be simultaneously connected. The top function buttons are difficult to see in the dark except for the blue lighted power and white Connect+ buttons. Plus, it weighs much less than either the similar Braven XXL (18 lbs) and Monster Blaster (16.8 lbs) speakers. up to 24 hours (Varies by volume level and music content)Įven though it’s large and heavy at 11.5+ lbs, the built-in ergonomically rounded handle makes the Boombox easy to carry for short distances before its weight becomes bothersome.I’ve mistakenly left Outdoor mode on while using the Boombox indoors and not realized it. Despite this, the outdoor bass boost is subtle at best. There’s nothing outdoors to reflect bass, so Outdoor mode compensates for this by boosting the bass. Indoor mode has no bass boost since bass resonates off objects indoors. Right next to the covered ports is an Indoor/Outdoor button that is self-explanatory. Since the Boombox is totally waterproof, it’s perfectly safe to do this. Then turn on the music to watch the water vibration show. Try this: Set the Boombox on its side and fill one of the radiators with water. It’s cool to watch the radiators move to the beat on bass-heavy songs. The earlier mentioned passive radiators allow the dual woofers to move a lot of air-one of the main reasons that bass on the Boombox sounds so big. There’s two 20mm tweeters for mid to high frequencies and two 4 in. The JBL Boombox has some impressive audio credentials. Hopefully in the near future, there will be added color choices. It’s interesting that the bright colors available on other JBL speakers is not available for the Boombox. There are two color choices available-black (my review) or olive green. It looks out of place set against the classy cloth panel marring an otherwise beautiful design. There’s a large, red square JBL logo plastered on the front. The Boombox is wrapped in a tight and durable cloth with a plastic handle which connects to supportive end caps that hold two large passive radiators. More on these functions in the Design and Features section below. The Boombox has five buttons just below the handle: Bluetooth pairing, Volume down, Power/Connect+, Volume up and Play/Pause/Voice assistant/Speakerphone.
