Of the shortcomings, it can be noted that it is quite large, in connection with which problems with its transportation may arise.

This model is an indoor sound system. It is designed to be powered exclusively from the network. The set includes a remote control. At the top of the column there is a special place for your phone. And also this model has a built-in microphone so that you can answer calls without having to approach it.but the system is only compatible with iPhone and iPod devices.

• high quality model assembly and minimal gaps between parts;
• compact size compared to similar music systems;
• design that will easily fit into any interior.

The price of such a system is 22,000 rubles.

The power of this column is 2x20 W, but it can work from the built-in battery for 15 hours. Of the inputs, it only has a standard mini jack and USB Type A used for charging. Just like in the previous version, it has a built-in microphone.

A distinctive feature of the model is that it is completely waterproof. Therefore, it is perfect for a day at the beach or by the pool. In addition, its weight is only 2110 grams, including batteries, so it will not be difficult to carry it with you. On the upper part of it there are special half rings for fastening the belt, which is very convenient during transportation, and in the lower part there are stable legs.

The build quality of the speaker is also top notch. Despite the fact that the speaker is still portable, the bass in it is pretty good. Plus, if you take one to the beach with you, you can be sure that neither water nor sand will interfere with your technique. Well, for recreation in a large company, the JBL Xtreme Special Edition can be connected with other similar speakers.

Of course, such a column weighs a lot, but for ease of transportation, a special handle is provided in the design for which it can be carried.

The first thing to think about when choosing a JBL speaker is its power. Proceed from the purpose for which you are purchasing the column. If you are going to use it mainly indoors, then excessive power is useless. Well, for hiking, outdoor activities and other outdoor activities, a more powerful option is suitable.

Lovers of long-distance hikes should pay attention to the weight of the speaker. If the model weighs more than 1 kilogram, it can be difficult and difficult to carry.... However, if you are going to take it no further than to the city beach on a summer day, then putting an even heavier column in a bag or taking it by a special handle, you will not experience much discomfort.

However, some speakers can be connected to several points at once, while others can only be connected to one. The same goes for pairing the system with others like them.

A nice bonus will be the presence of a Wi-Fi module and a built-in radio receiver... If you plan to connect your future speaker to a computer, make sure that it has an appropriate connector for this purpose.

If you are considering models with a built-in microphone, be sure to check if it has a noise canceling device. Otherwise, there will be little benefit from such a microphone.The voice recognition distance will be relatively short, and the sound quality will be even lower.

If you choose a speaker for home use, then in many ways it is much easier to choose it. For example, you don't need to think about volume headroom.

It is quite easy to distinguish an original JBL speaker from a fake. It is enough to pay attention to a few little things.

The box with the original column must contain instructions in several languages. It also contains the original QR code and serial number. This will not be included in the kit of a fake device.... But what if there is no way to open the box before buying?

Then you will have to carefully examine the packaging itself. If the box contains an original speaker, then the company's logo will be displayed on the front side of the box.

If the box looks wrinkled or as if it has already been opened several times, be sure that this is a fake. Original boxes are made of high quality, dense materials. The packages of Chinese counterfeits have an outer cardboard case, which the original products do not have.

After opening the package, pay attention to the condition of the column itself. It should be in a soft bag, secured with tape. Counterfeits are usually placed in simple plastic bags without additional fixation.

And complete with the original product you will always find instructions, various adapters, power supply... As for the fakes, then either there will be nothing in the kit, or one wire of the jack-jack format, which is never included in the original kit.

And, of course, the easiest way to distinguish a fake from the original is to just look at the column itself.

First, pay attention to logo located on the side. On the original item, it should be slightly pressed inward, whereas on a fake it is simply glued on top. If you already have original JBL products, you may notice differences in logo color and quality. If desired, such a sticker can be easily peeled off with a fingernail.

The buttons of the Chinese speakers almost do not protrude above the surface, and the original ones create a clear relief.

In addition, a low-quality replica is often an order of magnitude lighter than the original product.
