But advance a tip for all, where the charge is only 2 not found via Bluetooth (was with me): Start the Social Mode. Coupling. Social Mode (the connection is disconnected, but the cell phone now knows the batch). Again press the pairing button and select on the phone now the already known batch manually. Done.
Buyer Date 02/04/2015 I get a device (white color), that no more suffering of bass distortion.
The problem of DSP artifacts at lower volume but persists. In particular, who at times also quieter music that over longer distances has no bass or even sometimes just single hit notes (eg quiet guitar intro) is, unfortunately, have less joy of batch 2. It sounds a bit when the wind would spread over the microphone when recording. The effect is independent of the ratio Zuspielerlautstärke - speaker volume (loud-soft or soft-loud combination). The decisive factor is the volume level that is output.
When watching movies Furthermore, the delay between picture and sound often quite handsome. Also for the Batch 2 is not suitable really.
In detailed comparison with a Denon mini Envaya me the sound at medium and higher volume has fallen slightly better in batch 2. But I prefer a slight emphasis on the upper mids (subjectively). The Envaya has a very smooth reproduction and thus also very clear treble (sounds somewhat less warm). In quieter volumes of Envaya Mini is but the beginning. It adapts better to the human listening behavior and highlights the depths of something, so it sounds more round. The Charge 2 sounds at a low volume bit thin (but still quite good).
I decided finally to Envaya Mini. My personal considerations (+ positive, o neutral / not relevant - negative):
JBL Charge 2:
+ Great sound and (for my taste) a little better at medium and higher volume
+ Somewhat stronger bass
+ Very long battery life
+ Sound experience a little less dependent on direction (sounds a bit sideways almost like directly from the front)
to act as an external battery o POSSIBILITY OF
- DSP artifacts at lower volumes partially very disturbing (at quieter music, but also learn more)
- Lateral passive bass radiators are not protected; a bag for transport must be well
- Case not there
- Quite large (like a 0.5 liter can, only a trace of fat)
- Strong delay between picture and sound quality and lower by older Bluetooth standards (Ver only 3 and no aptX Low Latency.)
- But very loud beep (again louder than Envaya)
- No NFC (is a quite practical feature)
Denon Envaya Mini:
+ Great sound over almost the entire volume level scale (best when he is in a corner or against a wall)
+ Even at low volumes full, round sound
+ Splashproof (IPX4)
+ Compact for what he does (only half as large in diameter as the Duch batch 2; unbelievable what was to come out of deep !!)
+ No sensitive spots like the Charge 2
+ Bag here
+ Newer Bluetooth standards (Ver. 4 and aptX Low Latency)
+ Little delay between the picture and sound when video (if supported by the player low latency!)
+ NFC for quick coupling
o sound experience can be influenced considerably by the installation site; Bass and downs come much more out in front of a wall / in the corner as a free-standing (the passive bass radiator radiates to the rear)
o quite loud beep when switching on, off, paddocks and Aufladebeginn (just under and rather soft sounds)
- Rather weak battery (I recommend dabeizuhaben an external battery; charging during operation is possible and solves this weakness largely)
- Sound is at high volumes (subektiv) earlier than the thin batch 2 (is the bass no longer with highly regulated at about 80%)
- The upper midrange and treble are directional as the batch 2 (very clean just pretty straightforward from the beginning; I guess a 30 ° angle)
I recommend to look for a first impression on Youtube by comparison videos. The user has uploaded clavinetjunkie high quality comparisons between many Bluetooth speakers that give a good impression. Search "Denon Envaya Mini vs. JBL Charge 2": For this comparison konkteten just after.
