Traveling party

Want an instant party? Crank up the JBL Charge 2+ and let the good times roll. You don't even have to add water — but if you do, that's okay. The Charge 2+ has a water-resistant silicone coating. Just give it a quick wipe and keep the music coming.

JBL charge 2+

Its water-resistant silicone coating makes the JBL Charge 2+ a great choice for the beach, ski slopes, or boating.

Chances are, your fellow partiers will run out of steam before the Charge 2+. Its built-in battery can deliver up to 12 hours of continuous playback. Or use a little of that juice to recharge your smartphone or table.

Big sound and bigger bass

The Charge 2+ plays it loud and proud. Two 1-1/2" full-range drivers give you clean, clear sound, with two passive radiators for big, bold bass. Thanks to JBL's advanced digital signal processing, the Charge 2+ can project rich, full sound despite its compact design.

Bluetooth for one — or more

Stream music wirelessly from your smartphone or tablet. In Social Mode, the Charge 2+ lets you simultaneously pair up to three devices. So you and two friends can take turns DJ'ing and keep the party going strong.

Conversation piece

When your paired smartphone receives a call, the Charge 2+ turns into a speakerphone. Its built-in microphone uses SoundClear® technology to minimize echo and filter out ambient noise. Both you and your caller will enjoy a conversation with clear, natural sound.

Convenient portability

The Charge 2+ comes with a USB charging cable and power adapter. An auxiliary input lets you play non-Bluetooth portable devices through the system, too. So no excuses — if you've got a music source, you're ready for the Charge 2+.

Features

Portable Bluetooth Powered Speaker: The JBL Charge 2+ is a self-powered Bluetooth (v.3.0) speaker that is ideal for your Bluetooth-enabled devices such as your Apple iOS device, Android smartphone/tablet, Blackberry, computer/PC or other devices. The JBL Charge 2+ supports Bluetooth audio streaming and Bluetooth hands-free communication, as well as a simple pairing procedure.

  • Bluetooth Audio Streaming (A2DP 1.3): The JBL Charge 2+ portable speaker streams stereo music wirelessly from Bluetooth-enabled devices such as your smartphone, tablet, computer, laptop, or other device. You will continue to use your Bluetooth-enabled device to navigate your music and to view song/artist information.
  • Bluetooth Hands-Free Communication (HFP 1.6): The JBL Charge 2+ has a built-in microphone and VoiceLogic echo and noise cancellation technologies, so you can use it as a hands-free speaker phone. Use the Charge 2+ to answer phone calls, talk on Skype, or with Facetime. A long press of the call-answer button will activate the voice command feature of your smartphone (if applicable). You will continue to use your Bluetooth-enabled device to view video calls, manually enter phone number, and control advanced phone functions.
  • Multi-Device Pairing: The JBL Charge 2+ offers a simple pairing procedure for most Bluetooth-enabled devices. A single button press pairs your Bluetooth-enabled device with the Charge 2+. Once paired, the JBL Charge 2+ will automatically re-connect with your device when in wireless range (up to 33'). Up to three devices can be paired with the unit at once, so you and your friends can take turns streaming music.
Note: Due to the differences in Bluetooth technology, some Bluetooth enabled devices may be incompatible, function improperly, or may not support all features when used with the JBL Charge 2+.

Full-Range JBL Sound: The JBL Charge 2+ employs digital signal processing to generate room-filling audio from a compact speaker. Using dual 1.75" full-range drivers powered by a 15-watt amplifier and twin 1.75" side-firing passive radiators, the JBL Charge 2+ delivers full JBL sound with punchy bass.

Rugged Design: From its rugged enclosure and grille to the rubber end-rings and a rubber cap for its USB port, the JBL Charge 2+ has the durability that your active lifestyle demands. The JBL Charg2+ is splash-proof, but should not be submerged in water.

Versatile Placement: The JBL Charge 2+ stereo speaker plays from either a vertical or horizontal position, so you can place it in a variety of locations.

Aux Input: In addition to built-in Bluetooth, the JBL Charge 2+ is fitted with a 3.5mm auxiliary input for connection of almost any portable audio player with a headphone output.

LED Indicator: A clearly visible LED lets you know when the built-in battery needs to be recharged, as well as when the JBL Charge 2+ is in Bluetooth listening or pairing mode.

Built-in Charger: The JBL Charge 2+ is capable of recharging the battery of your Bluetooth-enabled device from the speaker's built-in USB (type-A) port; rated at 5V/2.1A. Now you don't need to carry an extra charger to keep your devices powered up. This USB port does not support audio playback.

Rechargeable Battery: The JBL Charge 2+ stereo speaker has a built-in, 6000mAh Li-ion rechargeable battery that provides more than 12 hours of playback time on a single charge. The battery is easily recharged from the speaker's built-in USB port, using the included AC power adapter or a free USB port on your computer. A full battery charge takes approximately 4 hours. The AC power adapter can also be used to power the speaker.

John, yes...the JBL Charge 2+ does have a 3.5mm audio in jack. You will need to get. 3.5mm male to make audio cable, as the Charge 2+ does not include that cable.
kyle  Sep 12, 2015

darrell  Sep 10, 2015

Yes, if You have an aux cord. I checked it last night after I found My old iPod. Bluetooth is worlds better. Hope this helps.
james  Sep 08, 2015
A
Yes it will. I mainly use it to play music from my ipod classic. You do need a connector cord to do it and that is all.

Hi john, Yes it will. You will need a headphone to headphone cord and it will play. Enjoy!
brent  Sep 07, 2015
A
Yes any device with a standard headphone kack will work, but you will need to purchase a 3.5mm male to male stereo audio cable to connect the iPod to the device. I've been sometimes connecting my MacBook Air laptop this way through the headphone jack and it works well.

Q
can one device use two of the charge 2+ for stereo?
eric  May 29, 2015

I don't think you can bluetooth your device to two machines at once. Why would you? This device packs plenty of punch just by itself. It is easy to use, and has great acoustics.
tim  May 30, 2015
A
I believe so, although I have not tried as of yet. I only own one. I can say that the sound is great and it holds a charge for 10-12 hrs. The directions do specify you can group them together. Hope that helps
north florida  May 30, 2015

Unfortunately not. Stereo pairing is not an option on the Charge 2+.
kyle  May 30, 2015
Q
Other than being water resistant, is there any difference in the JBL Charge 2 and JBL Charge 2 +? Also any word on whether the + solves the issue many have experienced with distortion at low levels of volume?
