WOW! Listen to the Thunder.....Listen to the Roar!

Sometimes ----- Good things do come in small packages. Very, Very impressed with this portable speaker. Phenomenal Bass reproduction and crystal clear highs as well. JBL has another home run here.

BIG SOUND in a little package!

I owned and was the DJ of my own business from the mid 80’ to early 2000’s, I played music from the 40’s to the time frame I was in, and all types of venues. SOUND quality, and loudness was always a must…..back in the day stacking Peavy 18 Internationals with Black Widow woofers, produced the perfect sound for every occasion……and today, @ 60 years old, I STILL LOVE MUSIC, AND SOUND MATTERS!!! I have purchased a few of the “Sound Systems” that have all you need except the music…and I use them for my personal use; but dragging them out for a short time is really overkill…..and I love to listen to Music while in the shower; a different self contained unit……again overkill. I happened to be walking by this JBL speaker playing in Sam’s Club, and it caught my ear. I, being me, turned it up, grabbed one in the Box and bought it……it is portable, but I will be picking up 1 more this week! I will have one in my workshop, and one in my home!!! The sound quality is AMAZING for such a small speaker!!! The highs don’t crackle, and the Bass, OUTSTANDING AND NOT MUFFLED!!! As for the JBL Brand……I have 2 sets of JBL LIVE PRO 2 EAR BUDS, and have for over a year on both pairs! One pair I use to run with, and lawn maintenance, and the other when I am just relaxing in the sun, or shoveling snow, or using my snowblower!!! I also have an older wired JBL earbuds and they still work today as they did the day I bought them!!!! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND JBL PRODUCTS, AND BELIEVE YOU WON’T FIND A BETTER SPEAKER IN THE SAME PRICE RANGE!!!! Crank it up!!!
