It might look better than its predecessor and have marginally better battery life, but beyond that, it's difficult to make the case that the Clip 3 improves on the Clip 2 in any meaningful way.

Improved battery life; Waterproof

No daisy chaining; Lacks 3.5mm aux lead

WAS EXPECTING BETTER SOUND BUT IT'S DECENT FOR SHORTER PERIODS. I'M A BIT FUSSY HOWEVER SO YOU MAY HAVE BETTER REACTION. AS MENTIONED ABOVE, VERY EASY TO USE WHICH IS A REAL PLUS AS I'M NOT ELECTRONICALLY ADEPT AT THIS STUFF.

First I want to start by saying I'm a fan of JBL speakers. However I am disappointed in this speaker. At full volume I get 4 hours of power. Not great for long periods when there is no power source. I have yet to get it to play anywhere close to 10 hours.

These speakers are cheaply made. The idea is they are portable. Bought one specifically for work as I sometimes drive a loud diesel utility cart. This means it gets dropped, moved and used a lot. The grill started falling off. It appears the interior clips broke.

We, at MajorHifi are big fans of JBL's Bluetooth speakers. Durable, waterproof and a damn good time. A few months ago, I bought the Clip 2 for my goldfish, Larry, and it really brought him out of his depressive state. (God rest his soul).

When I first saw the JBL PartyBox 300 Bluetooth speaker, I was very eager to try it. From the first time I saw the pictures, I kept looking at them over and over again. I did see it in my mind as a bit smaller than it is.

The build quality; The sound; The built-in battery for complete portability; The included DC cable; The light display options; The rock solid Bluetooth connectivity; The built-in handles; The connectivity options
