What customers say about "Size & Weight"

Bose SoundTouch 10 Wireless Speaker

The small size, booming sound and ease of use.
Powerful for its nice size.
Good size for small/medium rooms.
Decent sound for the price and compact size.
Use in my bedroom. Like the size and sound.

JBL Xtreme 2 Wireless Bluetooth Speaker

It's great that the strap comes with the kit because it would be hard to carry the speaker in your hands.
Although it is a rather heavy Bluetooth speaker weighing 5.27 ibs, it is convenient to carry thanks to a practical strap.
Just what I wanted to get. I am very pleased with this purchase because it is comfortable and can be hung on the shoulder, which will simplify its transportation.
Every day you can’t carry this speaker with you because it resembles a bag and takes up a lot of space.
When I saw her live I was surprised by her impressive size and i return her back because I did not need such a large one.

What customers say about "Features"

Bose SoundTouch 10 Wireless Speaker

For this to work, you do have to download the Bose SoundTouch App. Good app, comfortable.
I have tried 3 ways (phone, remote, and on the speaker). I paused the music on the remote, and started it again on the phone.
The on-device interface and remote control are simple: power, source presets and volume buttons.
The setup was very easy. I love the control of the entire system right from my phone.
SoundTouch app can't control the speakers!

JBL Xtreme 2 Wireless Bluetooth Speaker

It's fully waterproof, can charge devices from a built-in USB-out port (you supply the cable), has a built-in microphone for speakerphone calls.
The speaker can be immersed in water to a depth of 1 meter for a maximum of 30 minutes - ideal for parties by the pool or on the beach.
This is an extremely rugged model with a waterproof case and long battery life.
For all the time of use, I have not yet encountered with problem connecting to the speaker. It always runs smoothly and quickly.
I am faced with the problem that the buttons are not always pressed well, you have to make an effort to make speaker louder or turn on/off it.

What customers say about "Interfaces"

Bose SoundTouch 10 Wireless Speaker

I tried connecting it to my smartphone via the AUX input. Works well.
Bose has done pretty well with these speakers. Good connectivity via AUX.
Durable AUX port. Bluetooth works fine. I like it.
If no audio input for 20 mins, it turns off.
Auxiliary input started making a horrible static noise.

JBL Xtreme 2 Wireless Bluetooth Speaker

Two USB connectors are hidden under a tight fastener for charging two gadgets at once, a network connector, AUX and microUSB for updating the software.
Velvet rubberized plastic is used, I also really like fabric with special processing. It looks great.
JBL Xtreme successfully continues the balanced line of portable speakers of the brand: now “own” speaker for large companies has appeared in the assortment.
The sound is constantly being muted fort shorts period of time when using the aux cable on a low volume , this is very irritating as you always notice it.
When I took the speaker from the seller, I noticed that the USB port was broken and the cable in it just staggered.
