The JBL Pulse 2’s light show is customizable too, via a built-in JBL Prism color sensor lens--simply get your chosen color by pointing and shooting it. It has 100 LEDs that can be customized using the JBL Connect app available on both iOS and Android. The app also allows you to link multiple JBL speakers with this one for enhanced audio, if the double 45mm transducers aren’t enough for you. It can be a little big for it to be easily portable, since the Pulse 2 measures 84.2 x 194.4 x 84.2mm and it weighs 775g.
One thing I really wished to see is the volume buttons being lighted up as well--that would make it that much easier adjusting the volume in the dark.
Let's talk about the sound now, given past track records of JBL they did really well against brands like Beats, Bose and Marshall. This would be something along the brands mentioned but deserves special shout out for making it water resistant. This is a daring step that the rest have not taken yet--for portable Bluetooth speakers it really means a lot.
Despite its flashy light show, the JBL Pulse 2 is no weakling when it boils down to what it needs to do. The frequency ranges from 85-20kHz, which is very good for something of this size. The wieght will not be what I would really call portable-- but it is definitely possible, packed with a 6000mAh battery and also 10 hours of playback time with the lights dancing constantly.
Here's a video from me showing how it looks like! Beautiful right? The lights by default dances in tandem to the song itself, and here's an example:
Bass layering goes pretty deep down on this--it would not be as punchy as the Bose Soundlink Mini II but this has so much more clarity. Soundstage would be its main weakness if I really had to find one. Design wise, I am hoping that this can sit better on a flat surface without me having to worry that this would just roll off by itself. Stay tuned to my blog for more because something Xtreme is coming soon!
