Xtreme 2

I've gone thru countless BT speakers, from JBL Extreme 2,3. UE Megaboom, Hyperboom. Soundcore Motion Plus. Sony XB43. All were non keepers and were sold or one that was sub par was given away. Oh yeah, Marshall Kilburn 3 too. I have one now, the Sony ULT 5 its the only speaker that 100% percent sound balanced. Its plenty loud and can bring it with bass, clarity. I don't even use the Ult 1 or 2 features as I find it bass heavy already its in standard sound mode. I clearly as you can tell love it. Edit, well you can't get one for 150, but there are refurbished ones on ebay for 83 shipped.

JBL Extreme 2 was kind of similar to ULT 5, I believe it is better than the Extreme 3.

I like the JBL boom box and the Xtreme 2. Excellent deep bass and great volume. Very ruggedly built and waterproof are added bonuses. Great battery life too. 6-8 hours when fully charged.

Klipsch Groove XXL its not water resistant but it's usually $175 or cheaper. It destroys the Xtreme 2 in every way. I know because I know I own both.

My extreme 2 has been my go to for years! I even carry a JBL clip in the kayak and canoe.

I have an Xtreme 2 and Harman Onyx Studio 9. The Onyx is a clear step up in clarity, fidelity and bass extension.
