This speaker was fantastic the first couple months. A clean sound, decent base, and no static. Now about 4 months into having the speaker with decent usage, I am getting a static sound from the left speaker. It almost sounds like I'm listening to a radio station.

For such a small speaker, the sounds it projects fill a room. I love that this speaker can go outside. The bright blue color is fun and looks great !

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!!

Very very bad

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

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. The speaker can play very loudly and has an awesome bass, plus a great battery life.

Good bass; Good battery life

The JBL Charge 3 is made for parties and outdoor events. Using Social Mode, you can add up to three devices to connect and choose the music. The waterproof design means you can keep the party going no matter the weather and keep listening to music by the pool or on the beach without having to worry...

Ability to charge your mobile devices; Social Mode allows you to have three devices connected to the speaker; Waterproof design (IPX7; Powerful sound output for a compact speaker; Can be positioned on end; Great sound quality

Average battery life compared with other speakers; Cannot go back a track using on-speaker buttons

Such a great speaker, nice sound quality.On time delivery.

The JBL Charge 3 is the best quality sound Bluetooth speaker out there. I could not believe my ears when my son connected his phone to the JBL Charge 3 and started playing music. If you are looking for a speaker for yourself or for a gift, this is the gift to get. IT IS AWESOME!

Should you get the JBL Charge 3 Well, if you don't mind the larger size of this portable speaker, and you are willing to sacrifice portability for an extra powerful bass, then by all means, yes.
