Our Verdict
JBL Xtreme 2
Bose SoundLink Revolve+ II
The JBL Xtreme 2 and the Bose SoundLink Revolve+ II are similar speakers. Though the Bose is better built and has a better selection of controls, the JBL can get slightly louder with fewer compression artifacts at max volume, so audio played at louder volumes may sound marginally cleaner. The JBL can also support stereo content, which some users who like to feel immersed in their audio may prefer. However, the Bose has much better directivity, ensuring audio sounds clear from all angles.
