Under the hood, the Boombox 2 is equipped with two 30-watt, 20mm tweeters along with a pair of 40-watt 101.6mm woofers that deliver emphatic and distortion-free music. On top of that, two passive radiators flanking either end of the speaker produces thunderous bass.

Whether youâre powering your morning workout or soundtracking your evening barbecue, the Boombox 2 has the stamina to last through it all. It boasts a 24-hour battery life from a single charge (six and a half hours) to provide you with all-day entertainment. Plus, you can make use of the speakerâs 10,000mAh battery to charge up your phone through a USB Type-A port.
We especially like the ruggedness of the Boombox 2. It has an IPX7 waterproof rating and a handle with a notched grip on its underside to ensure the speaker never slips out of your hand when wet.
The Boombox 2 keeps it simple for controls: buttons for power, Bluetooth pairing, play/pause and volume are all neatly arranged on the front of the speakers. You’ll also find a PartyBoost button that allows you to connect the Boombox 2 to an unlimited amount of other JBL PartyBoost-compatible speakers for synchronised audio.
So if you’re looking for a rugged speaker that provides massive sound all through the day, don’t miss out on this deal.
