Harman the leader in revolutionary sound launches JBL Splashproof, Charge 2+ and JBL Clip

I have a collection of audio speakers of different sizes, colors and styles, its function from alarm clock to home mini speakers.   I got the penchant of collecting mini speakers 2 years ago because of the styles, features and how portable it is.   ( the candy colored cute ones I had it arranged in my cabinet) and checked with what company manufactured them afterwards, the moment I got curious with the quality of the sounds.

I am not particular with the quality or the crispness of the sounds until I got this mini JBL bluetooth speaker Clip, from an event that I attended last year.  I have been using the Clip eversince, and carrying it when I am out of town. It is the best high-quality sound stylish speaker that I have up to this day, that's why I was as excited as everybody else when I got an invite to the Harman JBL launch last Sept. 17 at Edsa Shangri-la Hotel.

 HARMAN the premier audio, visual, infotainment and enterprise automation group introduces the JBL Charge 2+ and JBL Clip+ Bluetooth speakers to take music with you on outdoor adventures and during spring and summer months filled with days near lakes, beaches and water parks. These ultra-portable speaker systems are versatile in their durability, provide hands-free listening and deliver powerful, high-quality JBL sound. Splashproof means there is no need to worry about rain or spills, and you can even clean these JBL speakers with running tap water.

Before a speaker can be described as truly versatile, it must be able to handle the unexpected. And the JBL Clip+ has been created for this purpose— from its durable, splashproof design to its portability. Its built-in carabineer makes it possible to bring music on all of your adventures. Whether you toss it into your backpack at the end of your day or bring it to your kayaking outdoor adventure, the JBL Clip+ can take care of itself. Its durable, double-injection housing protects the speaker and ensures that it will always produce the same quality audio as it had on day one. During the summer months, music can complement any activity with this very convenient form factor.

The JBL Charge 2+ takes the party everywhere – be it poolside or dancing in the rain – and amplifies the excitement. It is a portable, compact stereo speaker with room-filling sound and a battery with capacity enough to power your lifestyle—however active it may be. Allowing you to listen wirelessly and charge endlessly in rain or shine, its 6,000 mAh lithium-ion battery keeps the music going for a full 12 hours, with power to spare for charging phones, tablets and other devices through its USB port to ensure that you are never left hanging without your tunes or mobile device while on any expedition. The device anticipates that some adventures will no doubt be taken with friends; the speaker’s social mode lets up to three people take turns streaming music from their mobile phone, tablet or laptop playlists.

Both the JBL Clip+ and the JBL Charge 2+’s connectivity are not just about the music, but the devices are also about staying connected while you are out and about. Use Bluetooth to communicate with others through the built-in, hands-free conference speakerphones. With noise and echo-cancelling technology, along with a built-in microphone, the JBL Clip+ and the JBL Charge 2+ will ensure that your phone conversations are never less than crystal clear—even if you are near the loudest waterfall.

Both models are available in eight colors: Black, Blue, Red, Gray, Teal, Yellow, Pink and Orange.
