- Artifacts (noise) with soft music
- Artifacts (noise) with voice playback
- Placement of the bass membrane during transport
The Shadow:
The JBL Charge 2 produces with his bass membranes with soft music and speech reproduction significant artifacts (noise). The membrane is constantly working on and you can hear very clearly.
This disturbing effect can be reduced, in which one places the speaker about two feet away.
Sound:
The JBL batch sounds very good for its size. The sound is a bit bassy, the mids and highs are still displayed good. He has a good sound space with an amazing detail.
The JBL may also very noisy. I was amazed at the power of this little guy can develop, without going sound to its knees. It may sound for a larger living room with no problems.
I compared it with some other speakers, which are in the same size class. Since it has not managed to really make the JBL competition would not be because these artifacts.
Handling:
The JBL Charge 2 is well thought out. All controls are easily accessible. The pair with the iPhone work right away.
The battery is very durable and lasts a long time. The charge level of the battery is indicated by LEDs.
Weakness are the side lying bass membrane, which should be protected during transportation. I have a shell of a camera lens, the well protects the speakers during transport. Too bad that JBL attaches no protective bag.
Processing and design:
The JBL Charge 2 is solid. It is available in different colors for almost every taste.
CONCLUSION:
There are sound and the volume of her no serious competition in the size class.
Since I use the JBL Charge 2 insets mainly to play music for my saxophone, he is right. For the other operations I place it so that the artifacts do not interfere much. Nevertheless, there are for a point deduction.
Wen the artifacts to very disturbing, should wait for the batch 3. Since JBL has been the subject then dissolved hopefully.
