JBL Tuner 2 Portable Radio, Bluetooth Speaker with DAB and FM Radio, 12 Hours of Wireless Music, White

Quality sound
Brilliant little radio. Have a few other JBL speakers and in my opinion much better than Bose and half the price .

Updated review after software update
Update review. I called jbl who went through with me how to update the software. To check your radio has the current software press 1 and 5 and it should give you software version. The latest ends 208. When I pressed it after update it gave two software versions. The initial and the latest I had updated. You need a PC or mac to do this.With software update (from jbl website) I notice an improvement inSound improved (still not as good as clip 4 sound but it’s better than before)Reception improvedLcd display is crisp with bright white detail (before it was awful display)battery life improvedNo longer need the ariel raised fullyNo more “no signal”Sound is clearer without being low heavy missing mids and high sounds. Before it gave me a headache to listen to.It’s robust. Only saves 5 dab and 5 fm stations. While improved battery the lack of knowing how much % charge isn’t as much of an issue.In fairness amazon were good and gave me full refund and I didn’t have to return (it was already a return) but my review update is not based on that. I presume last person returned for same reason.If you have problems. Check the software that you have by pressing 1 and 5 at the same time. If it doesn’t end 208 update the software on jbl site it should vastly improve the radio.My original review.am not sure if it is because I bought from amazon warehouse.I had high expectations for this little radio. I had bought a different radio. Which was great but lacked bass and depth. Which was fine for talk radio but annoying for music.Moving onto this radio. I own the clip 4, so wanted a radio that gave the same sound. That little speaker is great. Perfect to me sound.However I was disappointed with this radio. First of all it says battery life 12 hours. It is lucky to get 4 hours.Sound quality sure it has more bass even than my clip 4. But it’s an annoying bass. There is a lack of highs. And it gave me a headache listening to it. Duff duff duff… I like clarity of music. But i was disappointed that this was lacking.The screen seems limited for 2024. It’s not very visible would imagine that this would be worse outdoors in sunshine.There is no way to know how charged it is. As you just get a battery icon. Which suddenly drops. I have no clue how much charge is in there. This is annoying.The plus is it is robust. Made of a rubber type material. It is water proof. It’s good that it has aux connection to connect to another device. But you can only save 5 dab and 5 fm stations. Scrolling through stations isn’t the best either. It is fairly intuitive to use though.There is no way to adjust the sound. No app. No equaliser. So you are stuck with the same duff duff duff lacking quality of sound.Another downside is it has poor radio reception. Many channels that are fine on a cheap radio, on this radio is fuzzy sound or can’t get a signal unless the ariel is pulled right up. Even my old pure radio didn’t need full extension of radio. Neither does the one half the price of this radio. The radio is pure quality. With weak signal. I expect better from a radio that cost over 70.For some reason when you put your hand on the radio the fuzz sound seems to disappear.Maybe I just have a faulty unit. It was from amazon warehouse, so likely someone else sent it back for the same reason.It lacks features. While it can go loud. Audio quality isn’t great or balanced. Battery life is nowhere near the advertised 12 hours. More like 4 and a half. That’s listening quarter of the volume.This unit also came late and I had to chase amazon. I am so disappointed. I hoped it would have similar sound quality as jbl clip 4 speaker at least. But it simply doesn’t.I felt underwhelmed and disappointed. I think the battery life was nowhere near the advertised life. Not even half that. Sound quality wasn’t great. Radio signal unless you pull ariel right up is poor.But it could be the unit that I bought from amazon warehouse. I am disappointed as I bought a case for it too.

Good quality DAB radio.
Excellent radio. Very clear speakers and station transmission. Easy to programme station.

Finally a small radio that sounds good
I purchased this because I wanted a small rechargeable Dab+ radio. I spent days looking at other small dab radios. Knowing that they probably weren’t great. Then I stumbled onto the JBL Tuner2. My prayers were answered. Now I already have other JBL bluetooth speakers, (clip4, clip5, Go4) so I knew this would be the best option for my portable Radio needs, and I wasn’t wrong. It sounds really good, you’d think the sound was coming from a much larger device. It’s very easy to tune and operate. And of course it’s also a bluetooth speaker. It doesn’t replace those other dedicated JBL bluetooth speakers that I mentioned, they have the edge in that department, but this is a Radio first and a speaker 2nd in my eyes. All in all, very good package. I purchased this in september 2024 and I checked and it already has the latest firmware installed.

That was my request exactly, as i was looking for a digital radio and bluetooth speaker with good quality sound , i saw some reviews about it, received it and i’m very delighted about the product
