    Customers like the size of the speakers. They say it's loud for its size, is small enough to be portable, and is super durable. It is a bulky design for your more extravagant consumer, but it' s not very big and has weight to it. It's an excellent waterproof and portable speaker, and it can be moved around the house. The 100 dollar price tag and portable rugged design, I believe that it' is.

    The Only Charge 3 Review You Will Ever Need

    The Only Charge 3 Review You Will Ever Need
    While I am seasoned in writing Amazon reviews to help my fellow millennial shoppers and older alike... I don't know where to start with this bad mamajama. So I'm going to give you an unbiased review of this awesome speaker from this point on... OK.Overview- I got the JBL Charge 3 in black. It is a bulky design for your more extravagant consumer. The red JBL plate on the front is almost reflective, making it look like it lights up under indirect light. The Charge 3 is 100% water submersible and the bass subs on either side are able to house water which bounces to the tunes when your particularly bassy hip-hop starts booming. Has a stand built in on the bottom made of rubber to prevent rolling. 6 buttons on the top, four protruding to make it easier to know what you're pressing while not looking, and two flush. Behind the rubber tab on the back (built for waterproofing) houses an auxiliary port, probably 3.5mm, a micro USB port for charging the speaker itself, and a USB port for charging your mobile device (can be used as a power bank). There are 5 LED indicators for battery on the bottom of the frontal side. They are covered by rubber so they provide a very matte, non intense light. Same goes for the dual connect (read later) and the power indicator. A non voice activated pairing system uses various pulses, light coloring and sine waves to notify you when it is searching, pairing, and paired. It does not have NFC. The dual pairing feature allows you to pair two JBL speakers together. It has a built in speaker phone, I haven't tested it myself, but uve heard from many people there's no difference in sound quality from a normal phone microphone.Specs- The loudest read I got on the Charge 3 (using the app "Sound Meter" not an SLM) was around 88 dB while playing "Congratulations" by Post Malone (see pictures). A step up on the 75 dB from the original Charge. With a 6,000 mAh power bank and a 13 hour battery life at full and 25 hours at half (measurement I took myself), the playtime is above most available speakers on the market today. The Charge 3 has a rated power of 2 x 10W and a frequency response of 65Hz-20kHz.Application- Amazing outdoor/pool speaker. Great for rain or shine because you don't have to worry about splash damage. However, if you want a travel speaker, I'd go with the JBL Flip 4 ($100) or the Bose Soundlink Mini II ($180, an oldie but a damn goodie). Or if you're just "that guy", I'd recommend the JBL Extreme or the JBL Pulse... they're for the flashier of people.Biased- For the price, it can't be beat. For the partying, rock n roll, hip-hop, rap, EDM listener. The bass cannot be beat in a speaker this size if you like your music bassy (part of us all do). For a relatable example of the bass, at full volume, if you cup your hands around the subs while playing the song "Feel the Bass" by DJ MagicMike, you can feel the vibrations in your legs... crazy power.I hope that this review has made an impression on your choice of what speaker to purchase. If not, I highly recommend Jim's Review Room on YouTube for highly professional, unbiased reviews! Have a wonderful day.

    5.0 out of 5 stars 4 1/2 years and still an Unbeatable Speaker!
    Reviewed in the United States on March 16, 2017
    Ok. Let me get this line down nice and clear. The Charge 3 is beyond what it is. The sound, comfortableness, and value. For $120 it got its worth. Just to help you guys out there ill go over the features this awesome speaker does:

    Sound: Now, I know half of you out there who did research on this speaker probably had in mind of the The Bose mini link 2, its competitor. Although the sound is a little better quality and all of that, but for $200 it starts to get a little messy with the price. For overall price and sound, go with the JBL. It still has awesome sound, especially with the bass radiators on the side.

    Durability: It maybe a little heavy for its size, but you can palm it easily. I take it wherever I go and the weight is not bad. So for those of you who care about weight, and always need a speaker on hand you may want to stick with the smaller version, the JBL flip 4. But as I said I think its perfectly fine.

    Features: JBL claims up to 20 hours of playtime. I didn't try this feature out, but lets face it- thats a very long time if you ask me. I took mine out of the box and I haven't charged it since.
    About the waterproof situation it is fully waterproof with the back latch on. It isn't really meant to be just thrown in the pool its meant that if you dropped it in a lake or pool and you need to grab it your safe. JBL says themselves that it should not be Submerged for more than 30 minutes or else it may cause damage to the speaker

    Overall, its great. It will satisfy you for the price. My suggestion is if your looking for a portable Bluetooth speaker under $150, go with the charge 3. It is an awesome speaker. Worth it all of the way!

    UPDATE: Flash to 4 1/2 years later and my charge 3 is still pumping bass and the same quality. This thing is a legend of a speaker and there’s no question why it’s one of the top speakers now (even 5 years later!). It has gotten a small scratch on the side of the speaker, due to me dropping it on concrete while riding my bike. But didn’t affect it at all and the battery life does indeed last for what feels like forever! My whole family uses it and it’s a no brained we bring it to wherever we go!

    In my video I tried to show the bass and loudness of the speaker itself and play some piano to show a different angle of music. Anyhow, it can be heard crisp and loudly with the bass mixed in perfectly. It takes the cake for the best speaker!

    Overall, I simply cannot find a flaw in it. It performs to perfection. Never had trouble with Bluetooth, and for the price, there’s really no better option. Anyone would ask me what type of speaker to get, JBL Charge 3 without a doubt. Highly recommended for anyone in any case!

    Reviewed in Canada on July 26, 2020
    I received my JBL speaker in excellent condition and in the original packaging. It came within a reasonable period of time. I compared this speaker to others, and decided to buy it based on the other reviews. Good decision, in hindsight. I am not disappointed in any way. In fact, I am quite delighted. If I could give this little speaker more than five stars, I would go for ten out of ten. It is solid for the size, and feels quite sturdy.

    No shabby, cheap construction here. The speaker charges quickly. The Bluetooth connection was quick, and effortless. I played music while connected to my iPad. The sound is crisp and clear at any volume setting. You can hear the distinct tones of any melody. Of course, the quality of sound still depends on the quality of the original recording. The speaker does not take much room at all.

    The sound is simply amazing for a speaker this size. No sound distortion when I tried it at the highest volume setting possible. That is, until my wife told me to turn the sound down :( This mighty little speaker fills my livingroom with sound effortlessly. My speaker is black, light and waterproof. In my day, a person would have to pay thousands of dollars for sound of this quality. I have not tried dropping it yet, but apparently it is shock proof as well. Only a matter of time before I test the construction in this way :)

    I am rediscovering music, and my music collection, all over again. That’s how excellent this speaker is. My kudos to the engineers and all those who designed, tested and built this JBL speaker. I finally have the quality of sound I have been searching for all these years, and at an excellent price.
