#JBLXtreme2 #MarhsallKilburn2 #Blackfriday
Even though I expected more, for the last few months the JBL Xtreme 2 has been one of my favorite speakers period. Its not too big, it has a decent battery life, I can take it anywhere, and more importantly it sounds really good. And the Xtreme 2 has done a good job of out performing similar speakers that were released after it. But today we’re going to put the Xtreme 2 up against 2 more large portable speakers. Lets see if the Sony XB501G or Marshall Kilburn 2 can finally dethrone the JBL Xtreme 2.

The jbl was better over all

[@rugdnit911]

Many reviewers miss the fact that the Marshall portables have a speaker on the back along with the port. Put this speaker in a corner or closer to a wall and the sound will project and be much bigger than what you hear than just sitting out in the open. The Marshall wins hands down.

[@frostedhead]

That's what I use to do with my Marshall half stack at any rehearsal studio you get more low end.

[@Towabear]

0:50 those headphones on the left we’re my favorite until they broke and then I upgraded to the new model and just as good as the previous pair.

[@leonmac]

i have the jbl xtreme 2 but i love the marshall and im thinking of buying one (and probably selling the xtreme 2) i love the metal grill and the knobs up top and those crispy highs, also i think for such a big speaker a port is a lot better than passive radiators and having one big driver is better than two smaller ones for bass performance

[@trevnutz]

So the sony has a dedicated active 4.9in subwoofer going by its manual. What does it sound like putting it against a corner as per subwoofer placement? Due it not having a port I do believe it may have more potential for bass if placed accordingly. I do like inbuilt subwoofers in bluetooth speakers and not many have this feature except the exos 9, jvc boomblaster, big blue party etc. What do u think the wattage is for the sony?

Go for the kilburn, I ve heard both and Marshall is a waaaay better, I guess it depends on every ear, because yes, the extreme sounds like a bottle opened, but that is the sound that is gonna annoying you over time.

[@s.s.productions]

Thank you for this (and your other reviews)! I was torn between the Xtreme 2 and Kilburn 2. Your arguments helped me decide to get the Xtreme 2, although my heart was bleeding for the seemingly more natural sound of the Marshall. Not an easy choice.

[@vjbk1587]

I just got the kilburn 1. It's going to be for home use only. Could have gotten the kilburn 2 or the jbl instead but I like the classic button setup of the kilburn 1. Plus I'm not planning on blasting music in my apartment just needed something with good quality.

[@ayushib2171]

Vern J same .. I just bought Kilburn 1 just because it has that classic look plus I need something just to listen not blast my apartment

[@davidbell549]

I just ordered a Kilburn 1. Way better looking than the 2 why did they change it??

[@vjbk1587]

@@davidbell549 Don't know. Part of the whole deal besides from being good sounding speaker is that look. Now I bet the JBL is more dynamic and I normally go from performance over looks but with the KIllburn 1 I made an exception. Glad I did.

[@nettack]

Are you guys still happy with it? I had mine go back, since I first had to disconnect on BT device before being able to connect the next one. I wasn't looking for simultaneous connections, however second beats first would have been preferable for my use case. Loved the sound though. I wished they'd put a Kilburn 2 into a Kilburn 1 case

[@eternal8636]

I don't know what to go with help Marshall speaker or JBL extreme 2 I don't really know what the difference is

[@luciferchavei1380]

👋👋 Well done Sir😎. Your compared equal speakers, spoke about the features, And conducted a most appropriate sound test well produced. Perhaps I'd only suggest a a Binaural Mic for a more accurate sound playback on the listener headphone end. Otherwise your up there with clavetjunkie✌

[@r3drift]

how does it fare in your opinio against eh aiwa exos 9 in terms of audio?

[@guidoderrico2110]

Nice and organized review 😉

[@kieferwickham9311]

As an xb501g owner is like to clarify a few things. From my experience it is fine to watch videos with, there’s no latency with most video apps I’ve used like hulu, Netflix, browser videos. The only app that has latency is KZbin. As for battery life I definitely doesn’t get the full 16 hours with all the bells and whistles on, but I bought it for partys and its typically lasted all night, dying or needing a charge some time in the morning. I’d say around 10 hours, possibly just under. Audio quality: I can’t speak for how it compares to the other 2 speakers as I don’t own them and videos will never do them justice. But it definitely gets loud enough to fill a room, although can get distorted at max volume. It is most likely the muddiest sounding of the bunch but depending on your taste you may not mind a less clear sound but punchier bass. That’s my piece, I enjoy the speaker quite a bit, although I’m definitely keeping the extreme 2 in mind now since it definitely wins in the portability department and the bottle opener would be a nice bonus for party’s

[@Alex-by7rn]

Kiefer Wickham is out loud enough for a party? And is the sound quality still good when it’s loud and is the bass good? Or is the bigger Sony speakers better

[@volcalstone]

I have the same speaker too and it doesn't lag on videos so I could confirm this. Overall I do like now it sound and it does get loud. The bass is punchy but it doesn't get as low as the HK studio 5 of mine. The Sony does sound better when casting it to it tho so people need to consider that as well. WiFi audio will always sound better then smh BT transmission due to higher stream rate. The only thing I don't like about my Sony is that the battery doesn't hold well when it's off. Just strange as if they used some cheap battery or so but it's a Sony!

Just bought the blue extreme 2 Awesome!!

Why didn't you set the bass of the Marshall higher

3 years are alot !

[@rubenb263]

same with me i loved my charge 3 but the cover for the battery broke due to my battery expanding and i can here a whistle from air leaking through the crack and it annoys me i contacted JBL to see if I could by another part and they basically said im shit out of luck, Im currently looking to get another speaker and my experience with jbl and the charge 3 is making it hard to get the extreme 2 and im leaning more towards the Kilburn

[@jaralmcneil8909]

I'm sticking to Sony. I currently own an xb40 and I'm very satisfied with it even after seeing video reviews which didn't do it real justice. I previously owned an xb2 and was also satisfied with it. With my Sony speakers I don't just hear the music, I feel it too. The music quality is more than good enough for me and the bass is solid which is just my thing. I'd purchase the Sony 501g over these other two without thinking twice even after seeing this review.

What firmware is better on the xtreme 2? I just got one and it's on 1.2 should I update to 1.9?

There is a video about it , although i never personally owned one , youtubers says there was a difference.

[@tomh1146]

I can find people going from 1.6 to 1.9 but not 1.2 to 1.9. Some people say they lost lots of bass but they were on 1.6.

[@TechnikToni-Overtribe]

@@tomh1146 if you go from 1.2-1.6 whcih you practicly can´t you get 30watts instad of 20Watts and more bass and overall loudnes at max volume if you go to 1.9 from 1.6 the changes differ from speaker to speaker normaly it was just for bug fixes which it did on my two x2s but others had the problem that the sound became very bad and some just lost a bit of bass and if you go from 1.2 to 1.9 you basicly get the changes from 1.6 plus the ones from 1.9 which as said can´t really be defined to one point i updated my first x2 from 1.6-1.9 and sound did not change ther where just some bug fixes and my second x2 went from 1.2 to 1.9 and it just sounds the same as my first x2

Nice videos, have watched several and have helped me alot. I would always like to hear a classical music piece (not only jazz since it has a lot of winds and drums) in all the speaker reviews to hear what piano and other instruments sound, that would be very useful (since I wold use speakers half of the time or more to listen to music without "beats" or lyrics).

[@Eggnog1001]

Marshall sounded way better to me. The JBL speaker didn’t seem much better than the Sony one tbh. and I think you can daisy-chain the Marshall speakers but that might only apply to their non-portable home speaker lineup.

[@mrsamot4677]

Robin Nicolle you do realize that all the sound you heard had to go through a microphone, then out your phone speakers. He was evaluating it based off what it sounds like in real life

Hey if anyone can help me make a decision I would really appreciate! So I’m on the border between jbl extreme 2 and the Marshall. But I want the one that’s loud since I want to use it for my work which gets pretty loud which I guess would be the jbl but I’m very picky about audio quality since I listen more to metal and classical music I don’t really care about bass which I think in term of Audio quality the Marshall is better.

[@KinG-gy7pc]

Marshall will be better for you.

[@Nicrame]

I just bought Kilburn II. It got very good sound quality. It's built of HQ materials, and working great. But there is one problem. When You try to use it with TV or laptop, after 10 minut of silence it go to standby (sleep), even when it's plugged in. And it will not turn itself on when you play something. You must click button by hand, which is very frustrating. Except that, it is nice product.

[@lleennyyy]

Xtreme or Xtreme 2? Both are 200€ now in Germany, so which should I buy?

[@eshankush]

Bro if you're more of a hip hop person, which gives out more treble in the music get Xtreme but if you're more of a techno or psychedelic music person which needs more clear base punches get the Xtreme 2. Cause basically the Xtreme has excessive base which you'll notice in the base focused music but that's neutralized in the Xtreme 2. So if you want a louder and more base speaker get the Xtreme and if you're looking for the perfect audio just because you are into detailed music then get the Xtreme 2

[@lleennyyy]
