Not working missing battery inside
I just received the remote speaker and was very disappointed. The speaker won't charge up. I picked up my other remote speaker and it is smaller, then the JBL Charge 3 but weighs more. I think the JBL Charge 3 remote speaker is missing the battery inside of it--normally a remote speaker weighs a lot more.

    JBL Charge 3 2022
    The JBL Connect app, now JBL Portable, no longer connects to my newly opened Charge 3. I was wondering. Is there any way to install connect plus to my speaker now? I would also like to name my Charge 4s with app as well!

    Good battery, poor audio quality
    Good battery, it lasted my days of occasional use (shower time). Connects super easily to any device I've tried (Samsung and XiaoMi). However, the audio quality is poor. I can't hear vocals clearly, mid-tones and high-tones are muffled. Bass is good.

    Defective Bluetooth connectivity
    The device would not connect to my other devices. This was my second one (before being returned); I had no problems with the first one.

    Strong Performer
    Great, portable, weatherproof Bluetooth speaker. I had 2 of the smaller Flip 3 and bought this for a friend. I expected more bass, with the increased size over the Flip 3, but it still sounds good. Nice addition of being a power bank as well.

    Very impressed by the JBL Charge 3
    The base and overall sound out of this speaker is truly impressive and sounds better than we expected for a portable speaker. It pairs easily via Bluetooth and the battery life is very good. The Charge 3 is stereo while the Charge 4 has become mono, so we opted to stay with the Charge 3 and are very happy with it. (To be fair, we have never heard the Charge 4 with the mono sound) Would definitely buy again.

    Didn't not last 3 months
    The speaker worked good for about 3 months. It sounded like static mix with music after that. I reached out to seller, they said I had to contact JBL. I tried to contact them on website, what a nightmare, My kids saved to get this for my birthday, they are very upset about the whole issue.

    The most wonderful speaker!!!
    This speaker is AMAZING! We had one that lasted almost 3 years(then it was stolen) and it was still going strong. Holds a great charge. I use it for music and audiobooks and i recharge it after a few days. Sits sturdy and can take some mean falls no problem!! I was so excited to get the jbl charge 4 but heard it was not as good as the 3 so i went with my gut and stuck with the 3! Beautiful speaker, love it so very much. Thank you for creating it JBL :,)

    Diappointing
    I was disappointed by this product and returned it after two days. I purchased it primarily to listen to news, but this speaker doesn't broadcast speech clearly. Even with music, the sound is muffled with too much bass and not enough treble. As far as I could determine, there is no way of adjusting the bass and treble levels. The JBL app only is useful for facilitating pairing.

    Well designed, easy to operate, unit Easy to believe that it is water proof, certainly water resistant So far, it has great battery life. The sound is good given its size, but could be better for music

    Long battery life
    We bought this after reading many reviews. We had a new to us jbl flip 3 for about a year that we used almost daily. We replaced it as the battery would no longer hold a charge for more than 10 minutes. So far we are happy with the charge 3. What we love about it is the long battery life (says it should last 20 hrs ) we only charged one time after we recieved it and it lasted all weekend plus my husband tried out the charger port to charge his phone. It is quite larger than the flip but we don't mind. So far we are happy with the decision to go with the charge 3 vs the flip 4. The price difference was 10-20 more for the charge but the battery life and ability to charge other items was a game changer for us.

    JBL charge 3
    I bought this a month ago and had its first test on the water. Speaker is very loud and amazingly waterproof Several people in our groups are getting them so we can link together and have surround sound on lake. Definitely worth the cost. 100% satisfied. Would pay more

    AMAZING
    Its just amazing, just make sure you buy it in the right store, because the prizes may vary between 150€ en 180€, for the exact same box (same colorways, everything). It really is the best portable wireless bluetooth speaker for its price in my opinion.

    Best Compact Bluetooth Speaker Currently Available
    I bought this after buying one after doing extensive listening testing in stores recently. I bought the original one to replace a Beats Pill that typically lost connection for seemingly no reason and would need to be shut down and restarted in order to reconnect. I immediately enjoyed the bass from the Charge 3 (nonexistent on the beats pill) and I enjoyed the sound in the space I had it (basement workshop) that I decided to pull the trigger and get another unit so I can pair the two. This has been an amazing add to the space. When I'm on the go (changing the oil in the garage), I grab one and take it with - never seems to run low on battery no matter how loud I listen for the length of time I'm away from power sources. It boasts being able to charge my phone as well but I haven't had to use that feature - perhaps that's why the battery life seems endless (because it's built to run itself and charge phones etc...).
