Not good

It rattled when I played music, so I returned it.

Great speaker

This “smallish” speaker, has a great sound and enough power to entertain the whole back yard, patio/pool area. It delivers great performance in the entire sound range (deep bass is not the goal here) and good battery life. Based on our experience, we are happy to have made this purchase .

Jbl non pairing speaker

Doesn’t pair with other jbl speakers. Felt like we were tricked. Apparently this model is not supposed to pair with other speakers.

Do not reccommend

Speaker did not have the ability to connect to app to adjust tone and sounded awful in general. It lacked bass and clarity at even medium volumes

reply from JBL Support

Thank you for your feedback. Our JBL Charge Essential 2 is not supported by our JBL Portable App. We recommend connecting your unit to another source device to check if it is an issue with the device. Lastly, try resetting it. This step will wipe all previous settings, so it will be necessary to pair your unit with your devices again. To reset, turn on your unit. Press and hold "Volume +" and "Play" for more than three seconds. The speaker will turn off, and reboot to factory default. If you need more help, please contact us.
