Outdated Product
The portable speaker from the eminent audio brand leaves far behind the main competitors in terms of battery life — full tanks of the built-in 6000 mAh battery are enough, according to the manufacturer, for 20 hours of music playback. Part of this time can be taken away by third-party devices with which the JBL Charge 3 is able to share its charge (Power Bank mode). The speaker produces a loud and clear sound with well-developed bass — in addition to two 50 mm speakers, two passive bass radiators are installed on the sides of its body. From external influences (dust, dirt and water), the model is protected according to the IPX7 standard. The wireless method of connecting third-party gadgets to the device is supplemented by the possibility of wired pairing with the speaker via a 3.5mm audio...jack. Of the branded "goodies", the Connect + functions (simultaneous connection with three devices) and the speakerphone for communicating on a mobile phone are honored.

great model, love it

The purchase just exceeded all expectations. I just couldn't think that a speaker of this size could give such a juicy and rich bass. The highs are also crystal clear. This is all to say that you can drop it in water and nothing will happen to it. Very satisfied with the purchase.
Excellent sound quality, especially the bass. It's simply amazing.
The subwoofer diffusers are not protected.
use JBL Charge 3 month or more i recommend it should buy
great model, love it

Specifically, I want to say not to buy products on the website manzana.ua, because if you're as unlucky as I was, you won't be happy using this audio equipment. So here's what happened: I bought a speaker, used it for 20 days, and an unusual crackling appeared in the speakers, most noticeable at low volume. I took it to the store's service center because it's a gray market item, and the official distributor in Ukraine doesn't accept it. I read all the terms and just had to wait to hear back or find out when to pick it up. Twenty days passed, and due to work chaos, I didn't have time to call and check, and when I finally got a break from work craziness, I realized 20 days had passed since I submitted it to the service center. I called, they said to pick it up. I went, turned it on, listened, and nothing was done.... The most interesting thing is that by law they should have called me back within 6 days at most, and so on. So I don't recommend making purchases in this store!!!
I’m crazy about the column, I think that JBL is the best portable sound, which suits me very much, there is bass, there are highs, everything is there, the sound is pleasantly enveloping
I think they are not, except that it was possible to add a lace like on Flip 3
use JBL Charge 3 month or more

I've been using JBl products for 2 years now, and this speaker has become the best for me. It combines the xtrime protection and the compactness of the cherge, sounding great both indoors and outdoors. Overall, I recommend getting this model. :)

P.S. I've been using this model for just under a year. No signs of aging or wear (I use it almost every day).
Full water resistance, can safely be placed in the shower, also loves to swim)
In this model, I don't see
use JBL Charge 3 more than year

The third generation of the JBL Charge series is rightfully considered the king of portable acoustics — there is nothing to complain about in the design of the speaker, and besides, you will have to look for equal ones in sound quality.

Barrel in chain mail

Externally, the model is a small barrel, dressed in fabric chain mail. The outfit protects the speaker body from mechanical damage (mainly scratches), and the internal “hardware” from dust and water according to the requirements of the IPX7 standard. Acoustics can be briefly immersed under water to a depth of 1 m, and even rain or splashes are not afraid of it all the more. The main thing is not to forget to tightly cover the area with connection interfaces with a rubber plug — AUX, microUSB and a full-size USB port.

juicy sound

In the third version of the speaker, a platform for horizontal parking has “grown” to its body. Of course, the ability to put the JBL Charge 3 in a vertical position was also not deprived, but in this case one of the pair of passive bass radiators is blocked. They are paired with 50mm speakers with a total output of 20W. At maximum volume, the speaker screams indecently loudly, and not at the expense of sound quality — it remains clear, juicy and saturated. By linking several portable JBL devices into a single speaker system (JBL Connect function), you can arrange a real concert at home or on the street.

power bank

A 6000 mAh battery hidden in the bowels of the case powers not only the speaker, but also other devices (when connected via the aforementioned USB port). JBL Charge 3 is famous for its longevity — the speaker does without recharging for 20 hours of playing songs at a medium volume level. Of course, everything also depends on the genre of music — tracks with a predominance of powerful bass drain the battery many times faster (in about 7-8 hours).

Party King

Speaking about the capabilities of the model, it would be a sin not to honor the built-in microphone with noise and echo cancellation. For incoming calls (and the speaker can be used as a speakerphone), it provides excellent voice quality. Summing up all the advantages, JBL Charge 3 confirms the title of the king of parties, regardless of where they are held — be it at home, a clearing in the forest, a snow-covered ski slope or a hot beach.

Additional features portable speaker JBL Charge 3:
  • Social Mode — the ability to connect to 3 devices simultaneously
  • JBL Connect — wireless connection with other speakers that support this feature
