Bass Forward, Heavy physicality, Excellent upgrade!
Color: Blue, Color: Blue
I would like to start this by saying that Iâm having to rewrite this as my first one violated community guidelines so I guess. But I wanted to preface that I have owned at least 1 of every generation of the JBL Boombox Series (1 OG BB, 2pair Gen 2, 2 pair Gen 3, 2 for the current JBLboombox 4!!
Iâm also extremely into audio and technology and speakers are an expertise of mine! I personally think that this was the biggest leap forward in the series and although I am still disappointed we reverted back to a 2-way system instead of the pioneering 3-way set up and that is a bummer but as far as feeling the music, want bass? Canât get enough. These Boombox 4 CRANK that low Freq and can sustain a sub 40 Hz base note on battery for extended periods of time. I had no idea that physics would allow such a small item to create base like it does and thatâs given proper acoustics of the room of the hallway ~~you know, you put your speaker somewhere and youâre like it sounds the best right here. Thatâs the soundstage (ish) but wow! The two base boost options are awesome and remind me of the OG BB with what was called âhome and outdoor modeâ
When Iâm rocking my stereo pair of Boombox 4s I basically always have the bass boost feature turned on the deep base (mode 1) and the other option (mode 2) is to have âpunchy baseâ however I donât recommend that one. Overall super happy with Bluee & Squad box! I will say that the only lighting feature on it is to me a very useful and fun incorporation of LEDs into a portable speaker as the color whether orange or white will show you from a distance what bass mode youâre in but also, you can verify it by a glance and rockinâ these dark orange glows, white punches or nothing at all. :)
Oh and the Original JBL I got in 2017 is still working like a charm in a buddyâs garage of mine (battery is shot, must stay plugged in to use)
But JBL will last a long time, thereâs such a big variety to choose from on the Bluetooth market these days that you can find a speaker for any size occasion or prefer preference.

HAS BEEN FLAWLESS!! 𤊠as I had connection issues with every type of linking JBLâs had to offer since Connect⌠so JBLs Connect, Connect+, partyboost, ect âŚ.. no good! ESPECIALLY in a dang stereo pair. Now when I turn on both speakers, they automatically link into stereo mode and it is simple as can be and they havenât even hiccups once for the hundreds of hours theyâve played music already.
Well I hope this finds someone who I intent it too,
Thatâs all folks!
