[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a great larger speaker measuring about 8 3/4" wide. It has that heavy duty feel to it so I'm sure it will last a long time. As expected the sound quality is excellent and my Daughter is already trying to take it after hearing it! An unexpected feature is that it has a USB out plug do you can charge your phone and other devices! It runs off the standard USB-C cable and one is included. Overall a great sounding speaker built to last.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Charge 2 has very clear and crispy sound, great battery life, charges quickly, and it's very durable. The weight isn't bad. Would be very easy to pack along anywhere you go. The sound is so powerful it fills a 900 sqft apartment. Best portable speaker yet!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've been using this speaker in my living room, home gym and while at work. So far what I've noticed is how well balanced the sound is between the highs and lows. The bass is perfectly balanced and it's amazing how clear music sounds even if you turn up the volume and it's definitely not missing out on lows. While other speakers overtake the bass as you turn up the volume, this speaker balances out perfectly on high volume and you can still enjoy high quality sounding music. A feature that came in handy for me was being able to charge my phone with the speaker and it's nice that it had the new USB type C port that almost all phones have now a day. If you're looking for a single speaker setup that you can take anywhere in a backpack this one is for you. Even though this speaker doesn't pair with other JBL Bluetooth speakers, this single speaker packs a punch by itself. Lastly, it goes without say, but JBL makes some good looking speakers.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Choosing a Bluetooth speaker is never easy. There are hundreds to choose from at every price point and with every type of feature. The JBL Charge Essential 2 not only sounds great, but has an extra added feature that everybody will need sooner or later. Like other JBL speaker I’ve owned, the Charge Essential 2’s sound is clear and crisp with a thumping bass. Every type of music sounds great coming out of this tall boy styled speaker. And if you really want to crank it up around the pool or at the beach, don’t worry, it gets plenty loud and it is waterproof. The sound is great and all, but what sells this speaker is the added USB charge port for your phone. It’s not a trickle type charger, it is lightning fast. So you can jam out to tunes from your phone and never worry about not having enough power to go all day. My only dislike about this speaker is that it needs some kind of handle or strap to carry it around. It’s fat in the middle, and if you don’t have big hands, you will have to cradle it like a football to carry it around. If you want a Bluetooth speaker with a powerful sound, and the added ability to charge your phone at the same time, go get you a JBL Charge Essential 2. You will not regret it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I just checked out the new JBL Charge Essential 2 speaker and it’s now my go to for music. Right out of the box this speaker is easy setup and use. The sound is great and clear, even the speech is clear and easy to hear on a podcast. Let’s start with the packaging. As usual the packaging is what I have become to expect from Harmon/JBL. Box was very clean and had good graphics and very easy to open. All was packaged well and protected. Box had speaker charging cable usb-usb c and a quick setup guide. Speaker was so easy to setup just go to Bluetooth settings on phone and connect and in less then 30 seconds I was listing to my favorite music. A bonus to this speaker is that you can also charge your phone when on the go. I see myself using this for the beach, picnics or just outside doing some yard work. Speaker is built for on the go seems rugged and it’s waterproof. Great for beach, pool, boat, camping, gym, garage or anywhere you can think to take it. Not too big and not too heavy easily one hand carry. Sound is great, I'm definitely going to use this everywhere I go. Definitely recommend I can’t think of any cons all pros.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have not put this wonderful sounding JBL Charge speaker away sin e it arrived. I'll start with the charge on the Charge. Turned it on at 3:30 PM and it's 12:06 AM and it still has the 5 charge indicator lights. Sound: You can actually hear the voices clearly in every song. The base is strong and clear, in other words, no vibration. Excellent JBL. You will be as satisfied, if not, better than me. I will recommend this speaker to my family and of course, my friends.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Another excellent portable speaker from JBL. I have several JBL portable Wi-Fi speakers. They come in different sizes. I would say this is one of the larger ones. I took a picture next to a set of headphones and a quarter for size comparison. Like all JBL speakers the sound is excellent. The base is deep and the highs are very clear. It maintains good clarity even at high volumes and it usually fills a large room. Would have no problem bringing this out for a party in my house. The beauty of the speaker is that it's not too big to take along with you on vacation or to the beach. Hooks up to your phone via Bluetooth almost instantly it doesn't lose the connection. You can't go wrong with this speaker. Highly recommend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This JBL Charge Essential 2 bluetooth speaker is a little beast that delivers some powerful sound quality & booming bass! Zero complaints on what it does & what I need it to do - fill up a room with music & keep the energy going. With a built-in 7500mah rechargeable battery that powers the unit up to 20 hours of music &/or mixed use of music & charging capability for other devices via the USB-A jack in the rear, this is handy to take outdoors & not worry about the battery running out nor your other devices. Really love this size & need to find some kind of protective carrying case for it. I currently own a few different JBL bluetooth devices such as bluetooth earbuds, battery charger, & a few smaller-sized bluetooth speakers - all great quality & reassures me they'll deliver when I need them most!
