#SNAPPY SPEAKER REVIEW HOW TO#

Hard to complain about it, but I’ve found myself feeling like the buttons indent further into the device than I feel comfortable with and the looming sense of me pressing too hard is always poking my brain.

#SNAPPY SPEAKER REVIEW HOW TO#

I am in a grey area about how to feel about them, knowing that they are protected under a rubber top for protection against wetness or splash damage.

The exterior feels firm and snug with no lose sounding parts or rattling, but one gripe I have is the lack of a higher quality feel to the physical buttons on the unit. Truly, this thing feels rock-solid in build and puts out no cheapness vibes when I handle it.

For such a small speaker that is around the size of a small shoebox, you might never expect something so massively weighted. Jeez, this thing is super dense at a whopping 2,221g. -Can connect to more Xtreme’s via JBL Connect.-Passive radiators for a hefty bass experience.-10,000maH rechargeable battery for up to 15 hours of cordless play, or usage via normal outlet plug.-Water/splash-proof (so long as it isn’t submerged, JBL says it will be fine).-Bluetooth 4 connectivity as well as input in via 3.5mm.There are a few important features that JBL packed into this model, so let’s list them one by one. JBL seems to have invested quite a bit of time and effort into making a powerful, nice-sounding speaker here and I’ve been enjoying it in my home for the past few months. I’ve never been a fan of BT Speakers and coming off Sony’s recent letdowns in the BT universe, I must say that I am impressed by this Xtreme model. No, this speaker wasn’t modeled after Bill Paxton’s character in the movie Twister, but damned if it isn’t a very nice sounding Bluetooth experience. While reviewing this speaker, I had a bit of a furnace lighting experience inside me that sparked my interest in speakers again.

It is funny…reviewing this speaker really swindled me right back to a decade ago, back when I was a speakerphile and just before my foray into the headphone world. JBL really surprised me when they asked me to take a listen to their new Xtreme BT speaker.
