One of the things that immediately impressed me the most about JBL's Charge 2 when I first unwrapped it from its protective wrapping was its construction.

Come to think of it JBL has yet to enter that type of durability specification when it comes to its portable wireless speakers, but something tells me it’s only a matter of time. It's still not waterproof, rain-resistant, or anything of the sort like other offerings, notably the hugely popular UE Boom by Ultimate Ears.

And while not much has changed in terms of battery life, the Charge 2 has been redesigned and improved from the inside out offering a compelling upgrade over the original Charge model that JBL first introduced last year, which was really only JBL's Flip speaker repackaged with additional features like a massive rechargeable battery capacity and a mediocre bass port. The Charge 2 is without a doubt more sleeker looking than the original model, but it doesn't come with any durability improvements. Like its predecessor, the Charge 2 features the same 6,000mAh built-in rechargeable battery boasting up to an impressive 12 hours of wireless audio streaming while also enabling you to charge other portable devices like your smartphone using its dedicated backup USB charging port. It's a huge departure from the original Charge model, and we're really glad that JBL is starting to create higher-end designs at reasonable and familiar JBL prices. It looks fantastic and presentable in a premium-looking kind of way. We’re seeing similar design influences carried over from the Harman Kardon side of speaker design, namely the Nova desktop wireless Bluetooth speakers which feature the same bass radiator design language now present on the two side-firing passive bass radiators of the Charge 2. JBL has done a similar redesign of its original Flip portable speaker model with the introduction of the Flip 2, and now we've got the Charge 2 promising an increase in sound quality performance as well as having a more social-friendly functionality. It's an impressively more fine tuned when it comes to audio performance and even a lot more refined by design, which we were really thrilled about having reviewed the original Charge speaker.
As expected, JBL has perfected the Charge with the newly released Charge 2 successor.
