I have both and even though the ch5 is good the Boom2 is better. And the soundcore having a handle makes it far more portable than the awkward too carry ch5. The Boom2’s equalizer gives it more potential also as the charge5 equalizer doesn’t let you tune the ch5 out of the JBL signature sound to call it a custom tuning.

JLB typically clearer bass mids and highs….crisper sound. My wish is that JBL would buiild two different Charge 5’s……one exactly like this…..and one with a handle design like Soundcore Boom 1 and 2. Motion Booms are great for people who like a softer sound, less edge to the notes.

Hello, greetings. The Soundcore Boom 2 speaker. Is it a good speaker? Do you recommend it? 🤔

@JaysStraightUpReviews 9 ай бұрын

It's certainly a good option if you need a smaller boombox style speaker.

@dragosnacu 9 ай бұрын

At Boom 2 mids and highs sounds like somehow in the distance, muted. And the bass frequencies of Boom 2 also sound separated than its mids and trebs. The bass seems to be forced in a resonance. I don't know. I had expectations from Boom 2, but now I doubt of it.

Great video. I do have a quick question for you. Does your JBL Link 300 restart every night at 1AM? I have three of them and a Link 500 and all of them restart at exactly 1AM everyday.

@JaysStraightUpReviews 9 ай бұрын

I've never noticed that happening. I'm at work at 1AM during the week, so I wouldn't know if it did that or not. I have a white Link 300 next to my bed and it always seems to be fine unless the power has gone out recently.

@@JaysStraightUpReviews Thanks. I've reached out to JBL several times and they just ignore me so once I saw this video I figured I'd ask. Appreciate the response.

@AlexXDIpX7 Ай бұрын

Listened this video with my Xtreme 2 and can confirm that the Boom 2 has more bass rumble and not as ear piercing and ear fatiguing as the Charge 5 but overall both speakers are great 👍 (I have a Charge 5 but will be getting the Boom 2 on Christmas)

Which speaker do you think is better, the Soundcore Boom 2 Plus or the JBL Xtreme 4? 🤔 Is it true that the Boom 2 Plus is made of cheap plastic? I'm undecided which one to buy🤔

@Sparta670 3 ай бұрын

I got 2 boom 2s for cheaper than 1 boom 2 plus. And since you can connect both boom 2s to each other to play both at the same time I’m going to put them both in different parts of my home so I can hear music throughout my house.

@JaysStraightUpReviews 2 ай бұрын

I think the overall better speaker is the Xtreme 4, but it's not by that much and certainly not by as much as the price difference. The Boom 2 is a very solid little boombox.

Yall trippin if yall say yall would choose the charge 5 over the soundcore unless you value portability the soundcore has WAY more bass then even my Xtreme 3 its SUPER impressive. Considering its 130 soundcore EASY EASY win here as far as sound goes it's cheaper and sounds better

Yes it has more bass then the Xtreme even plugged in and the bass from the soundcore is just overall deeper and has WAY more presence and depth to its bass that middle subwoofer makes a HUGE Difference but the Xtreme has it's perks 1 it looks better in my opinion it gets louder and sounds more powerful at higher volumes it also doesn't distort at higher valumes like the soundcore does and it has a more professional tuned sound and the fact that it gets a performance booste plugged in is also a good perk too but I like the bass and the lights on the soundcore so much that to me it's even better then the Xtreme 3 and a no brainer if you had to choose @@phrocasso5906

@Kocaineee Ай бұрын

I bought charge 5, and even though it has such a crispy, and amazing sound, the bass is not there. I don’t understand why it’s being advertised to have a punch but volumes over 70% bass totally disappears , and even lower volume than that bass is noticeable but, it’s not as good as I expected it to be. I am getting a boom 2 today, and will probably return the jbl. Price is simply not what u pay for unless you’re more like an “audiophile”

Jay, what is your favorite portable speaker for around $200.00 or less for best sound and bass?

@JaysStraightUpReviews 9 ай бұрын

Not sure I have a clear favorite, but do like the Tribit Stormbox Blast quite a bit. It does everything above average, IMO. The JBL Encore was under $200 for a while and that is a tough one to beat at that price, plus it has great bass. The Soundcore Rave Neo 2 is sometimes $99.99 and that is an outstanding speaker for that price. The W-King T9 Pro just recently came out for under $200 and it is a very nice speaker, larger, with solid bass.

how does it compare to tribit stormbox pro? can tsbp compete with them?

@dsgaming9893 9 ай бұрын

The Stormbox pro is a totally different speaker as the form factor is much different from the Boom2, the Stormbox Pro is a 360 speaker whereas the Boom2 is more traditional with having a subwoofer and 2 tweeters for "stereo" effect.

@JaysStraightUpReviews 9 ай бұрын

I don't have the Stormbox Pro anymore. I had the older version that wasn't app compatible and I refused to buy another one. As mentioned, it is a multi-directional speaker, with two drivers firing opposite of each other and a down-firing woofer. That would be more comparable to something like the Tronsmart T7, which has the same layout.
