the JBL extreme - has been on the market for a little over a month now and even though I do like the extreme - overall a lot of people complain that it just doesn't get loud enough but now JBL has released a new firmware update that does considerably improve the extreme choose performance if you've been on the fence about getting the extreme - or if you really have one let's see what this new firmware updates all about just so we're clear this isn't a full review on the JBL extreme - I'm just addressing the new firmware update if you want to learn more about the extreme - now watch its full review but if you want to pick up the JBL extreme - i'll have links to description below and if you use the links you really helps out the channel and also check out the new merch shop down below I actually didn't hear about the new firmware update for the extreme - until I actually saw comments mentioning it in other videos unlike the post 3 there's really no need to even open up the JBL connect app with the extreme - but when you do open up the app you'll see a little notification and you can start downloading the firmware update right over-the-air the only thing you really need to do is just have the extreme 2 plugged in and wait for about 10 minutes or so now we're quickly going to jump into the sound test which is going to be featuring the original JBL extreme the extreme 2 before the updates and the extreme 2 after the update under spotlight like I said in the in this review the extreme to hands-on nature sound signature that overall sounds better than the original extreme and after the firmware update the extreme to still has the same sound signature but I have noticed there is considerably more bass overall there's more bass at lower volumes and more bass at higher volumes but the biggest changes is new from our update brings is how loud the extreme to actually gets now these next clips have each of the speakers playing the same section of a song and next volume on battery power alone you can clearly see the original extreme struggles to get over the hundred DB mark but it has an easier time when it's actually plugged in whereas the extreme two has no problem staying over the 100 DB mark after the new former update on battery power alone the extreme two is now clearly louder than the original extreme even when it's plugged in and for comparison before the firmware update the extreme to perform pretty similarly to the original extreme it only occasionally managed to break through that hundred DB mark but even at these how our volumes the extreme two still manages to keep distortion to a minimum when the original extreme is playing a max volume it does start to sound bright and the space starts to sound muddy whereas the bass on the extreme two is cleaner and resonates much smoother but even though this former L theatres great at all there is some give-and-take regarding battery life at 80% volume the extreme two is now averaging nine hours of playback time or as before it was getting ten hours but all things considered I don't think it's that big of a deal even that you're getting more bass and however volume out of the extreme to even after this new firmware update the extreme two is still gonna have no problem keeping up with you if you plan on taking it on the go but everything I said in the initial review still stands I like the JBL extreme - it's a good speaker it sounds good it's durable and it has good battery life the extreme to got more than loud enough for me even before the firmware updates but with this new update I can't deny that I'm really enjoying me at the base if you already have the extreme suit then I highly recommend you going download that new firmware update and if you've been on the fence about getting the extreme - then the extremes you just got a little better if you made it this far I guess you enjoyed the video so hit that like button and get subscribed it helps out more than you realize support the channel by clicking on the links down below and I'll catch you next time
