From what we heard from Indoor Cycling studios and Spin Studios, and even regular fitness centres the JBL Boombox 2 is the biggest “no brainer” in the fitness industry. Instead of spending. thousands on a sound system for their studio all they need is one or two JBL Boomboxes and they are in business. Excellent sound and they you can connect two together wirelessly within seconds.
We only need one JBL Boombox for our Studio and outdoor classes of 30 participants. Our other choice was to pay thousands for a “sound system” with involved renovations, wires, electricity, etc etc. We are even thinking of buying two which even makes the experience even better. While we save thousands. We got ours from JBL themselves, and we make no money sending you to their site. We just want you to offer the BEST FITNESS CLASS or EVENT EVER. Which is why we are highly-respected and leaders in the fitness community.

Design
This design of the JBL Boombox 2 is almost a carbon copy of the previous model. In fact, had we put the two together next to each other, it would’ve been hard to pick them out, though JBL wisely changed a few accents to make them less identical.
For instance, the JBL logo on one side now has an exclamation mark, while the underside of the handle has a little extra color to it.These are definitely subtle cues, especially when you throw in the fact JBL is sticking to both the black and camo variants, leaving no room for any other funky color options.
The Boombox 2 is also almost exactly the same in size and weight. It’s slightly heavier at 13 lbs. and a smidgen bigger at 10.1 x 19.5 x 7.9. The handle is of the same sturdy material, holding together the big cylindrical design.
The guts inside are equally familiar. You get two passive radiators on the ends with dual 20mm tweeters and two 4-inch woofers under the hood to pump out the big sound. It doesn’t look JBL used different components beyond the newer Bluetooth transmitter that we’ll get to later.
Buttons are laid out in much the same way, except for a couple of minor shifts. JBL moved the Bluetooth button to share with power, while it’s old spot is taken up by the PartyBoost button. You also get play/pause and volume up/down buttons, along with LED indicators at the bottom to show battery life. Double-clicking play/pause skips a track, but for some reason, JBL didn’t map it to repeat a track with a triple-press after failing to do so with the previous Boombox.
The back ports retain the same layout, too. You get the power adapter, 3.5mm Aux-In, a USB port to charge phones and other small gadgets, along with a microUSB port for servicing.
