We’re in the thick of summer which means spending plenty of our time outside, preferably in the pool or at the beach. Best way to enhance your day out in the sun near the water is with some righteous tunes. You best get yourself a Bluetooth speaker that strikes the right balance between portable and powerful in order to make this summer one to remember. That speaker is the JBL Xtreme, and great news. The second generation version of the speaker is currently on sale for 25% off at Amazon. Usually sold at $200, you can now grab one for only $150. You’ll be saving a cool $50 for a limited time.
Portable and Powerful
There is a spectrum when it comes to portable speakers. Some of them are pocket-sized, but only sound marginally better than putting your phone in a red cup. Then on the other end, you’ve got some speakers that need to be wheeled around like a suitcase and only get slapped with the ‘portable’ label because they’ve got a handle on it.
The JBL Xtreme 2 sits right in the middle. This Bluetooth speaker is pretty sizeable, about as big as a football, so it can pack a punch with plenty of volume and bass. At the same time, it’s easy to carry around. It only weighs just over five pounds and it comes with a detachable shoulder strap. Just throw it over your should and keep your hands free to carry whatever else you need like a beach chair or cooler.
The speaker is made durable enough to take outside with you pretty much anywhere. The fabric holds up to the elements and the rugged rubber housing will help it last for years to come. The JBL Xtreme 2 has been given an IPX7 rating. That means it’s waterproof, able to take on a splash or even full submersion water without having to worry.
Battery life is pretty good. You can listen to the JBL Xtreme 2 for up to 15 hours on a single charge that’s enough to last you from sunup to sundown in the summer.
JBL made the speaker highly versatile, allowing you to connect more than one source to it over Bluetooth at a time. This lets more than one user connect the phone so they can share the task of queuing up the soundtrack of the party. You can also pair this with another JBL speaker to amplify the volume across a wider area.
