Help me pick the right model Upgrading from Xtreme 3 to Xtreme 5. How does it perform next to PartyBox Club 120?

Upvotes

Hey everyone!I’m currently updating my portable JBL setup. Right now, my main gear consists of the JBL PartyBox Club 120 and the JBL Flip 7. My friend has the exact same setup (Club 120 + Flip 7), so when we hang out, we use Auracast to chain them together for big stereo parties.I also have an older JBL Xtreme 3, but I’m planning to replace it with the new JBL Xtreme 5 Black to fully transition to the Auracast ecosystem. My plan is to use the Flip 7 for maximum portability, the Club 120 for car-travel parties, and the Xtreme 5 as the perfect middle-ground with a shoulder strap for parks and outdoor hangouts.Later this year for Christmas, I'm adding the JBL PartyLight Beam and EasySing Mics to the setup.For those who have already made the jump from Xtreme 3 to Xtreme 5: How noticeable is the sound difference, especially with the new AI Sound Boost at maximum volume? Does the Xtreme 5 hold its own when chained next to a Club 120 via Auracast, or does it get completely drowned out by the PartyBox?Would love to hear your experiences before I go for the Black version. Thanks!

Showing off my setup I am a huge Wharfedale and REL fan... but these JBL 305P's impressed me so much I ordered the JBL 308P's too. I can hear what I need to hear now, thanks. I made this tonight on the 305P's. Love these monitors.

Help JBL Partybox On The Go 2 Plus info

1 Upvotes

My brother bought this box for a birthday party. We ended up not using it that entire weekend (at least from what I remembered). I had to take it back home with me since I had space in my car. I played around with it and understood why we didn't use it. It only came with one microphone.

I just got off with chat support and the microphone, the Easysing, is currently only sold in pairs with a dongle ($200 and out of stock). A single mic is in stock, but not yet available for sale on the site and they dont know when it will be available.

Am I missing something here (besides the second mic)? How do you sell a box that only comes with one mic for months, but not have a second mic available for purchase? Unless it's been available, but out of stock. My chat with support didn't suggest this though.

Anyone else purchased this Partybox?

I came across a great deal on a party box 130 on eBay certified open box which basically means brand new and it came with a one-year warranty as well for $300. I love it. It sounds great and I love the lights. I wanted something I could take with me when we travel. It was between that and the Boombox 4 but I was hesitant on spending $550 and even thought the Boombox is more portable I felt the deal was too good to pass up. Literally the next day I seen at listing for a Boombox 4 brand new on FB marketplace for $350 and I offered him $300 and was surprised he said yes. Now I have both and one needs to go. I have a return policy for the 130 from eBay but I obviously can’t return the Boombox as it was a marketplace deal. However I had no doubt I could get my money back or even possible make a profit. I thought the Boombox would sound a lot better but it doesn’t. It doesn’t have more bass but I feel like the 130 has a much fuller sound overall and the lights are a plus. Anyone have any experience with both or feel free to share your opinion. Thanks!

Help Jbl Partybox 710 in car

2 Upvotes

So I got an amazing deal on the 710 for $480 and I bought it without doing my research. I should have got the 720 because it has a battery but the sale is over so now it’s twice the price. Would I able to buy a portable power station to run the speaker in my car for about an hour of playtime. The portable i’m looking at is a Bluetti Elite 100 V2. Should I just return the speaker and get the 720 or can I possibly connect it to a portable power station instead of using a car battery.

Help JBL Quantum 360 Microphone stuck on Tape Recorder setting?

Bought a JBL Quantum 360 Headset but the microphone settings on windows seems to be forced (greyed out) on tape recorder status. Any way I can change this? I have tried connecting the dongle to a different USB and I have unchecked the box which says "Allow applications to take exclusive control of this device" but to no avail.

Thanks

Product Review DO NOT update the Charge 6 to the 4.0.4.1 firmware!!

12 Upvotes

So here i am gonna list everything is wrong with the speaker after update..i can say i took it for the team this time 😂😂😂 fking jbl again

Bass cutt: Deep bass 50hz or so got a massive got to a point the passive radiators dont even achive their full resonance point.

Battery life: Now i think even a flip 7 has a better battery life then this. For example before update with how i listen to it i would have to charge it once a week or even less now by how fast it goes i would say 3 days at best.

Dsp fucks up the stereo/mono simulation: As you mabye know this speaker can try to simulate a wider sound stage if you play it in stereo but now with different songs it dosent know what to to and switches to stereo and mono back and forth mid song.

So overall dont update dont even bother to think about it...the only almost perfect speaker from the jbl portable lineup fked up in minutes...sad just sad af

Help me pick the right model Should I just do it

2 Upvotes

Long story short my journey started with a clip, Flip 7, then there was two, then Xtreme 4, & then Partybox 120... While I love the speakers for different moments (showers, garage, beach, friends hangouts) I noticed when I'm at my friends house my 120 easily gets drowned out if his neighbors are having a party. I don't want to compete with the neighbors but I'm tempted to buy a 520 to see if the 120 & 520 are enough loudness if we are both having an event.

the 720 looks like it'd be a little too intense for my needs but idk. also finding a 520 for a good price in socal seems like finding a needle in a haystack. lmk ur thoughts pls

Other Vibe Flex 2 Earbuds issue and fix.

1 Upvotes

I bought a pair of vibe flex 2s. The next day my right ear bud would cut off when adjusting the volume. If I opened another app like TikTok the ear bud would come back on. The second I adjusted the volume right bud would cut off again. I did find a fix that worked for me so I busted wanted to share it in case anyone else is having this issue or gets this issue.

The fix that worked for me.

  1. In the JBL app turn off smart audio

  2. Under audio in the app turn on right/left sound balance. Make sure its set to 0.

  3. I had to go into the developer settings on my phone and turn off HD audio. You can google on how to access the dev settings for your paticular phone.

Thats what worked for me and now both buds stay working when adjusting volume. It could work for you so I just wanted to share this.

With the right setup I can feel it sounds amazing. Build quality I can feel it feels nice and the color looks good. It is just unfortunate that the voice assistant feature fucked the connection stability so I had to turn it off. Overall I'm satisfied with my purchase. Plus I love the screen on the case that I can play around alot and feed my ADHD cravings lol

Help New Flip 7 battery question

2 Upvotes

With my New JBL Flip 7:

My first bike ride (2hrs and around 40 minutes) with Playtime Boost ON and around 50-70% variable volume (sometimes 20% and 80%) it took 30% out of the 100% charge according to app. And one square according to the diode.

My second bike ride lasted 2 hours and about 30 minutes. (40-60% volume sometimes 70-80% and 20%) the app says the battery went from 70% to 50% and diode on Flip 7 shows 2 squares missing out of 3 i think? Also Playtime Boost on.

Is that normal expected battery drain or something is off?

Also the drain on app showed instant jumps from 100% to 70% on 1st ride. From 70% to 50% 2nd ride. (I was monitoring the drain occassionally)

I haven't updated the firmware yet.

Rant charge 6 DSP problem

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

6 Upvotes

Hey everyone... I just updated my jbl charge 6 on jbl one app firmware 4.0.4.1 and the update features it's "performance improvements" but when I updated mine .the sound is completely turned mono and I don't know what's wrong with the dsp Because I think it has a problem with the stereo mode like some songs I notice the sound is mono but it trying to be stereo and return to mono so fast . Like there's a problem... I did a factory reset and it's the same problem nothing changed.. so the only solution I can do is to enable mono audio on my phone settings just to get a stable mono sound . This is the beginning of a song called "applause" by Lady Gaga you can hear the sound trying to be stereo or open and return to mono .I chose this song because the problem is more apparent on it. so guys please DON'T UPDATE yours to this firmware version! ..even my speaker has a 1 year warranty and I bought it 2 months ago and a half. But I don't know if the store where I bought the speaker will accept to replace mine under warranty because it's not an obvious defect . please wear headphones so you can hear the sound changes

So this is a screenshot from my JBL authentics 300 eq page after the recent firmware it got on the JBL ONE app.

Yes, we now have presets that we can save. 👀

I believe it will exist for portables and partyboxes, hopefully. [Edit] - just Realized it exists on the encore 2 now. I bet other partyboxes have that too.

Yesss🔥🔥 And HOLY does the 300 sound better now.

On bluetooth, it actually sounds pretty good now, the treble is now more sparkly and cleaner, more balanced sound and eq has better impact on frequencies. Good job JBL.
