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

It's small enough to be portable. I use at work (hvac/ducting) and it packs a punch. It's waterproof, acts as a backup battery, looks great. I put the speaker in a dresser drawer to use like a speaker box and people have come into my room and think there is a stereo making that sound.

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.

One of the better Bluetooth speakers on the flooded market. Currently at $168NZD (22/01/2018) - almost half the price of a UE Megaboom (and better sound IMO, cleaner, less boomy). I got mine earlier last year at the Noel Leeming Massive Sellout for $188.

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...

This speaker is fantastic! The sound quality carries far and the speakers haven't blown out being pushed to max.

Attractive Design; Easy Set-Up; Great Sound Quality; easy to take on the go

things in the kitchen appear to affect connection; (things like a wifi modem and microwave

Waterproof

Sound quality is very good; but not always distributed perfectly

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.

LOVE this speaker. bought this for myself but my son took it over because it is so clear sounding and goes very loud. he uses it in the shower and on the bus to and from school. you won't be disappointed in the sound clarity.

They work great for running and going to the gym & are incredibly durable. I've stepped on them & even accidentally dropped them outside my home during the rain all night & they still work when i found it the next morning!!
