JBL Xtreme 2 review: Taking the party outside

One look at the JBL Xtreme 2 and you’ll know it’s not designed as a fancy-looking speaker to sit pride of place on your polished wooden furniture. Nope, this tubular (perhaps construed as if we’re in the 1980s, dudes) speaker’s design is clearly targeted at the big outdoors.

The Xtreme 2 is fully water-resistant and comes with a strap, which clips onto the speaker’s carry handles for portability. Add beefy sound and big volume and is this the perfect portable Bluetooth speaker to take the party outside?
