Verdict: At first sight, the JBL Charge 3 wireless speaker is impressive. It just comes across as something that oozes power. This well crafted audio cylinder looks the part of a tool that mean business. So, we took it for a spin.

JBL Charge 3

Pros: Sturdy build, Weighty sound, Decent waterproofing, Doubles as a portable charger
Cons: A little on the heavy side, Mid-range can be hit and miss
Verdict: JBL's Charge 3 is a USB phone charger with a Bluetooth speaker built in. Or perhaps it's the other way round. Either way it comes with heavy-duty waterproofing, a whopper of a battery that'll let you siphon off juice if your phone dies, and you can daisy chain similarly branded speakers together to...

JBL Charge 3 Bluetooth Speaker Review

Pros: Improved durability, Great battery life (~19 hours, Waterproof (1m for 30 minutes, Very good sound quality
Cons: No NFC, Only forward facing speakers
Verdict: The JBL Charge 3 is one of our favorite Bluetooth speakers. The battery life is insane at 19 hours and the Bluetooth stability/range is pretty good-we still had a reliable connection at around 40-59 feet during our tests.

JBL Charge 3 Review: 2 Steps Forward, 1 Step Back

Pros: Waterproof, Loud, Good battery life

Verdict: With each new version of the Charge, JBL has made minor improvements to an already good Bluetooth speaker. The Charge 2 boosted bass; the 2+ added moderate water resistance.

Not what we were expecting!!!

Verdict: Received this item on Friday for my daughters Bday. On Saturday she opened it all excited and within minutes had it ready to play. That's when we noticed something was off. The sound was crap!! Which was hard to believe because my brother has the exact same speaker and he loves it.

Powerful little unit

Pros: Size, sound quality, price
Cons: None
Verdict: I looked for a good long while for a Bluetooth water proof portable speaker. After seeing the ratings and price I decided on the JBL. Very pleased. Pairing was easy. After setting up the speaker for the first all you have to do is turn it on and select your tunes. Not all systems are that easy.

Verdict: good day, I need to connect to an xtreme and I can not since the last update, please get a downgrade Lo siento mi ingles es muy malo!... xD

JBL Charge 3 Portable Bluetooth Speaker Red

Pros: Overall I'm pleased with the portable speaker, it has an excellent blue tooth range and I also love being able to use it to top up charge my phone while I'm out. Was surprised about how loud the volume can reach too
Cons: It would be great if it had a power level indicator and it would be better if it had a skip forward or back option on the device as well

Great unexpected speaker

Pros: Attractive Design, Easy Set-Up, Great Sound Quality, easy to take on the go
Cons: things in the kitchen appear to affect connection, (things like a wifi modem and microwave
Verdict: This speaker is fantastic! The sound quality carries far and the speakers haven't blown out being pushed to max.

Must have gadget

Verdict: Great sound quality, long battery life, usb charger is handy for phone etc. only minus, when 2 speakers connected together, firstly you need app on phone to do this and secondly it continuously effects the sound quality as it ‘skips' during playing music - that's the reason of only giving it a...

Great product

Verdict: Great sound and convenient size. Was debating between this and the next size up, but am happy with this choice. It might not go as loud as the bigger version but am still very happy with the quality of sound it produces when the volume is maxed out.

JBL BLUETOOTH SPEAKER

Verdict: Way smaller than what I expected however it gets pretty loud. If I would have known how small it was going to be I would have ordered an Ion speaker instead. Easy set up and connects to phone without issues.

Nice Speaker!

Verdict: Ive got this speaker 3 days ago and so far its preforming very nice. I like the sound, its very loud too. I got the grey option and its in my opinion alright its just far from the pictures that JBL presents. It has a darker shade from what i though. But still have no complains about the color.

THE GREATEST SPEAKER

Verdict: Although i bought it from Dubai, but i still thought of giving a review. Well this is a great and the bulkiest speaker with great noise. It is fully waterproof and portable. The bass radiation is great and the melody feel is awesome.

Just what I expected

Verdict: I chose this over the Beats Pill Box due to price. I have a friend who has a Bose, and I can't tell the difference between the two. It's a small speaker so you should know you're not going to get perfect sound, but we use ours in our garage and it sounds good and is loud enough to compete with other...

Great speaker

Pros: Good bass, Good battery life
Verdict: It's my first blue tooth speaker and it works very well. I was a little skeptical about it saying waterproof and what exactly it meant but I took it to the beach and it was sprinkling and it did just fine.

Bass & Loudness beyond the size of the Speaker

Pros: Compact, Good depth of the Bass, sufficient volume
Cons: When Audio pin connected, it gives much lower volume than Bluetooth & USB
Verdict: Originally I though of buying Bose soundlink ii but after comparison, dropped the idea. Much cheaper than Bose Soundlink ii & deeper Bass than Bose. In low volume, Bose BASS is slightly better than JBL but this can be adjusted from your smartphone equalizers & increase the volume.

Incredible

Verdict: An associate bought one of these, and I was impressed by it's rich, warm, powerful sound and clarity. So I bought one. Now, I keep a close eye on it because everybody wants to borrow it and eventually that will be on a non-return basis. I reluctantly agreed to let my girl take it away on her trip...
