    I have a problem with the original Charge 2+, namely the speakers do not work, they start to play only after slightly pressing the diaphragm. The coil fell off maybe?

    Probably the coil is broken somewhere. Twist and try to measure if there is any resistance. If missing, it is known to be aborted. In the latter case, the core might be too high and not working in the coil.

    and no resistance. Only appears after pressing. Is there any way to get to the coil as smoothly as possible? Below are photos of the speaker. He can somehow take off this magnet that looks stuck to the housing (or whatever it is called):

    You can try something on your own, but in fact with such small elements it will be difficult to rewind it if you have no experience. I would rather advise you to look for a replacement (speaker).

    Oh, I thought that there was nothing to connect there, because so far I had thrown paper balls pressing the diaphragms under the speaker cover and so far it sounds somehow, although there is not too much bass.

    Check Aliexpres to see if you won't find such speakers. For a few dollars, you can exchange it and forget about the problem.
    Playing as you wrote can lead to a short circuit in the coil (because it probably sticks in a decentralized gap and rubs against it) and in a short time lead to serious damage in the amplifier itself.

    I was looking for and the cost of one speaker with shipping is about PLN 80, so it's probably better to recondition it. Only does anyone know someone on the forum who deals with it?

    I suppose something is wrong with the cables connecting the coil to the terminals. You can try to detach the suspension from the basket, but it may damage it irreparably and it can be difficult to get new ones.
    Such speakers are rather not repaired, but replaced.
    It will be difficult to find someone who will want to fix it, and when it comes to it, it does not have to be cheaper than buying a new one.
    Look for, maybe you will find somewhere such or similar speaker.
    Maybe one will match: https://www.tme.eu/pl/katalog/zrodla-dzwieku_...s=2%2C591%2C2560%2C36%2C122%2C564%2C601%2%217 % 2C575 & used_params = 122% 3A24824% 3B591% 3A2336% 3B & page = 1 & limit = 50

    So I understand that the difficulty of repairing the speakers is inversely proportional to their size?

    More or less, it's mostly about its value.
    Simply put, cheap speakers are not worth repairing, unless there is absolutely no other option.
    Try again at the brand distributor, but I think it won't be cheap either.

    Best regards.

    If they are so cheap, I would not say, the new JBL charge 2 costs 450 PLN and the speakers themselves are 80 PLN / pc. If someone showed me how to do it, I would fix it myself. And the speakers are supposedly signed Harman Kardon, so it is possible that installing replacements will be very disappointed with the sound quality.

    They are prone to power, so they cost money. :-)
    The market creates demand and demand creates the price. If there was no demand for these speakers - they would have been in warehouses for years - they would probably cost PLN 10 or maybe less.
    Recognized manufacturers mark their products, even OEMs. It is not here, so it turns out that the equipment manufacturer is ashamed of the "brand" of the component manufacturer. :-)

    So you would have to either soften the glue with some solvent, or try to detach the suspension mechanically, without the use of chemicals.
    It's just that in both cases the suspension may be destroyed (dissolving, tearing), that's why I wrote:

    Therefore, it would be advisable to see if there is a suspension closest to the original one.

    Is the suspension foam or rubber?

    Rubber suspension. And you can't get to the sides of the magnet? There you can see the glue, maybe it could be dissolved. Unless I look for the characteristics of these speakers and choose another brand, similar or better. From what I could find they have 75 Hz - 20 kHz and I think somewhere I have encountered that someone measured and went down to 60Hz. Overall good bass is a strong point of these Jbls.

Topic summary

The JBL Charge 2+ speaker is experiencing sound issues, only functioning when the diaphragm is pressed, suggesting a potential coil detachment. Users recommend checking for resistance in the coil and suggest that if it is broken, replacing the speaker may be more practical than attempting repairs. Some users have attempted temporary fixes, such as using paper to press the diaphragm, but caution that this could lead to further damage. The discussion highlights the difficulty of repairing small speaker components and the potential for short circuits if the coil is misaligned. Users also mention the cost of replacement speakers and the importance of maintaining sound quality, particularly given the Harman Kardon branding associated with JBL products.
