Waterproof

Sound quality is very good; but not always distributed perfectly

Purchased this unit because I did not want to buy a Bose. I had this unit for about 2 weeks and might have used about 15 times for no more than 3 hours each time then all of the sudden it stopped connecting to my Macbook Air, I tried giving it a full charge, removed other Bluetooth speakers on my...

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.

Bought this for our deck and plan on getting a second one. This beauty is well built and the sound is amazing. Now I can take down all my old outdoor speakers.

I have 2 speakers and love how they connect to each other. I can have one next to the jacuzzi and one next to the pool when guests come over. And anyone can connect to play their favorites!!

The Charge 3 ($149.95) will look familiar, but pack few surprises for anyone who's used a recent JBL Bluetooth speaker . But that's not a bad thing, as the company has been pumping out some of the better speakers on the market.

Powerful audio performance with solid bass response and well-defined highs; Water-resistant design; Speakerphone functionality; Can charge mobile devices

Cannot backward navigate tracks; A bit bulky; Light on accessories

JBL does it again.

Waterproof; Size to sound ratio

Lacking in mids

JBL has been one of the bigger names in portable Bluetooth speakers for a while now. In fact, the Charge 3 that's the subject of this review is...

Thumpy bass; Outstanding run time; Links up with other JBL Bluetooth speakers

Poor documentation; Audio lacks clarity and separation

In the world of cylindrical bluetooth speakers, the Logitech UE Boom I reviewed is the first that usually comes to my mind. It had great 360 degree sound plus a waterproof design.

IPX7 waterproof; anti-roll design; Dual bass radiators; 6000 mAH power bank

Smartphone app is limited to configuring JBL Connect-enabled speakers

JBL Charge 3 is the ultimate, high-powered portable Bluetooth speaker with powerful stereo sound and a power bank all in one package. The Charge 3 takes the party everywhere, poolside or in the rain, thanks to the waterproof design, durable fabric and rugged housing.

Waterproof; Excellent sound; JBL Connect; Charges phone; Looks as powerful as it is

No protective bag included; No way to hang it
