WATER RESISTANT
The special highlight of the Charge 2 Plus over the predecessor is the Splashproof waterproof: that is, we can comfortably use the speakers when it comes to rain, or wash in water when stuck. This is also the reason that Charge 2 Plus weighs 600 grams, more than Charge 2 60 grams. This is a worthwhile feature for a portable speaker that will increase the maneuverability, durability of the speaker as well as allow users to use comfortably.
One thing to note, you can easily wash the speakers under the faucet, shower or go in the rain, but different from the IP waterproof standards (soaking in several meters of water for some time) Water pressure can cause damage to the loudspeaker. Our advice is that you should not soak Charge 2 Plus in water to ensure safety.

QUALITY
In terms of sound, the first impression is that the Charge 2 Plus gives a large volume thanks to the support of 7.5W speakers with a total capacity of 15W. With a room of about 25 m2, Charge 2 can completely meet the needs of entertainment, music and movies.
From the producer of JBL, it’s not hard to predict that the Charge 2 Plus will have a lively sound, emphasizing on the bass strings with very powerful, rich and powerful bass. In addition, the two characteristic bass amplifier diaphragms will not disappoint the listener as it overcomes the inherent lack of bass of the portable speaker.
Charge 2 Plus’s deep bass strips up the space of a song and battle it out with the most popular genres of pop, rock, jazz, dance, and even EDM. Mid and treble quite detailed, clear and acceptable.
However, if you pay more attention to the process of listening to music, it is not difficult for users to realize that strength is also the inherent weakness of Charge 2 Plus. The two drivers symmetrically together with two diaphragm bass resonators for the bass band is really powerful, but the speakers do not escape the bass, do not create diffusion depth. At high volume (80% or more), everything starts to lose control, distortion occurs, especially for fast rhythms, many instruments.
