Solid build, good sound for size, excellent battery life; Does exactly what it's designed to do

No

The JBL Charge 3 Bluetooth speaker is loud, waterproof and can charge your phone from the built-in battery so you don't run out of power.

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.

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...

Sturdy build; Weighty sound; Decent waterproofing; Doubles as a portable charger

A little on the heavy side; Mid-range can be hit and miss

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 actually the fourth iteration: There was the original, the Charge 2, and the Charge 2+ previously.

Very very bad

Great speaker for 100 dollars.. Hard hitting for the size. And a great plus,, you can link these to each other can have as many as 4 running off of 1 device. Getting a couple more great for the pontoon.. Wish I could upload an audio so you could actually hear this thing..

The customer communications were excellent and delivery very fast. Packaging was great and the product works perfectly. Will definitely shop here again.

This little speaker really packs a punch. The music sounds great and it easy to use. I can also move it from room to room. Compared to the Bose (which was my original choice) it has better sound quality. Very happy with this purchase.

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. Sound quality gets a big thumbs up as you would expect from any JBL product.

Improved durability; Great battery life (~19 hours; Waterproof (1m for 30 minutes; Very good sound quality

No NFC; Only forward facing speakers
