JBL Pulse 2

The Pulse 2 is splashproof, so you can use it by the hot tub.

Do more with the Connect App

With the free JBL Connect App on your smartphone, you can really get the party into high gear. You can use the app to pair two Pulse 2's for full, stereo sound. Or use it to connect multiple Pulse 2 and other compatible JBL portable Bluetooth speakers to really ramp up the sound.

And speaking of connections, you can pair up to three smartphones or tablets with the Pulse 2. Take turns with two of your friends playing tunes and keeping the party going.

Big sound

The Pulse 2's full-range drivers deliver clean, clear sound. Two side-firing bass ports reinforce the low frequencies. Thanks to JBL's advanced digital signal processing, the Pulse 2 can produce rich, full sound despite its compact design.

Take that call

When your paired smartphone receives a call, the Pulse 2 turns into a speakerphone. Its built-in microphone uses JBL SoundClear® technology to minimize echo and filter out ambient noise. Both you and your caller will enjoy a conversation that's easy to hear.

Ready to roam

The Pulse 2's built-in rechargeable battery delivers up to 10 hours of music and lights. And a splash-proof design means you can use it on the slopes, or by the pool (just don't go swimming with it). An auxiliary input lets you play non-Bluetooth portable devices through the system, too.

Features

Portable Bluetooth Powered Speaker: The JBL Pulse 2 is a self-powered Bluetooth (v.4.1) 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 Pulse 2 supports Bluetooth audio streaming and Bluetooth hands-free communication, as well as a simple pairing procedure.

  • Bluetooth Audio Streaming (A2DP 1.3/AVRCP 1.5): The JBL Pulse 2 portable speaker streams stereo music wirelessly from Bluetooth-enabled devices such as your smartphone, tablet, computer, laptop, or other device. The speaker offers Volume up/down & Play/Pause controls. You will continue to use your Bluetooth-enabled device for advanced music navigation and to view song/artist information.
  • Bluetooth Hands-Free Communication (HFP 1.6): The JBL Pulse 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 Pulse 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 Pulse 2 offers a simple pairing procedure for most Bluetooth-enabled devices. A single button press pairs your Bluetooth-enabled device with the Pulse 2. Once paired, the JBL Pulse 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 Pulse 2.

Full-Range JBL Sound: The JBL Pulse 2 employs digital signal processing to generate room-filling audio from a compact speaker. Using two 1.75" drivers, a 16-watt amplifier, dual 1.625" passive radiators, the JBL Pulse 2 delivers full-range JBL sound with punchy bass. The speaker can be positioned horizontally or vertically.

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

LED Light Show: JBL Pulse 2's LED light show visualizes your favorite tracks or sets the atmosphere using its ambient lighting. Choose from a variety of light shows - Fire, Rain, Fireflies, Stars, Canvas, Traffic, Hourglass, & Fireworks. You can take full control of the Pulse 2 light show using JBL's Prism color sensor lens. Simply point and shoot the lens at the color you want, and watch the Pulse 2 replicate the color within its LED light show.

JBL Connect: With JBL Connect, you can wirelessly link two JBL Connect enabled speakers, like the JBL Pulse 2, together for amplified sound. All connected speakers will play the Bluetooth audio from the same source device. 

JBL Connect App: Use the JBL Connect App (for Apple iOS 7+ or Android OS 4.3+) to customize the LED light show experience and configure the JBL Connect settings. With the JBL Connect App, you are able to link two speakers together so each speaker acts as a left or right channel for stereo sound. The JBL Connect App also lets you select between even more light shows and link light shows between JBL Connect enabled speakers.

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

Rechargeable Battery: The JBL Pulse 2 Bluetooth speaker uses a Lithium-ion polymer rechargeable battery (3.7V/6000mAh) to provide up to 10 hours of music playback time. You can easily recharge the battery using the included USB/AC power adapter, or simply plug the unit into a free USB port on your computer/laptop using the included 40" microUSB-to-USB cable. Charging time is approximately 3 hours. The USB/AC power adapter can also be used to power the speaker.

Q
Can I charge devices from this speaker?

A
No. The speaker has it's own rechargeable battery but it will not recharge other devices. For that feature, you may want to consider the JBL Charge 2+: http://www.crutchfield.com/shopsearch/JBL_Charge.html I hope that helps! My Bio: http://www.crutchfield.com/Support/Bio.aspx?bio=5
