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. Accordingly, the Charge 3's audio performance is impressive—it can get quite loud without distorting, and delivers laudable bass response for the price. It may be a bit on the bulky side for a portable speaker, but if you want solid low-end response and crisp highs on the go, the Charge 3 is a fantastic option and earns our Editors' Choice award. DesignMeasuring 3.5 by 8.4 by 3.4 inches (HWD) and weighing in at about 1.8 pounds, the roughly cylindrical Charge 3 is a bit larger and bulkier than plenty of competing portable Bluetooth models. The downside, obviously, is that it weighs down bags and is a bit more of a pain to tote around. The upside is the audio performance, but more on that in the next section.

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

The case is great but it is not big enough to accommodate the USB adapter and cable. Cannot understand why they would make a case that doesnt fit the package of what a JBL Charge 3 is comprised of in its totality. Hard to know how many stars to give it.

I recently took a vacation and decided to buy the JBL Clip Speaker so I could play some tunes over candle-lit dinners with my cat. And I was super impressed by the high quality build and loudness that this little thing produced.

Was a gift for someone tho I have tried it myself. Absolutely fantastic! The sound clarity is magnificent. Tho it's forte is the bass (which is positioned on the sides) and it's unreal the overall sound and the quality provided is absolutely worth the money!
