The JBL Charge 3 is an outdoor-friendly portable Bluetooth speaker that packs a considerable bass punch for its size and price.

  • +

    Powerful audio performance with solid bass response and well-defined highs. Water-resistant design. Speakerphone functionality. Can charge mobile devices.

  • -

    Cannot backward navigate tracks. A bit bulky. Light on accessories.

The JBL Charge 3 is bigger and bulkier than the now-classic UE Boom. The app doesn’t do a whole lot without a second compatible speaker. However, the clever design includes bass radiators at each end, a “foot” that permits stable horizontal play, and noticeable low-end improvement vs.

    IPX7 waterproof, anti-roll design, Dual bass radiators, 6000 mAH power bank

With the Charge 3, JBL really finds what I think is the perfect compromise between sound and size. Though it’s still pretty portable, the Flip 3 is hands-down a better option if you want to take it with you everywhere.

The JBL Charge 3 is larger than its predecessor, fully waterproof, and plays louder -- but it should sound a little better.

  • +

    The JBL Charge 3 is a well-designed, fully waterproof portable Bluetooth speaker that features good battery life and doubles as an external charger for your portable devices. It also has built-in speakerphone capabilities, and plays loudly with strong bass for its size and price class.

  • -

    While it plays louder than the JBL Charge 2+ it doesn't sound as good.

JBL describes the JBL Charge 3 as a “waterproof portable Bluetooth speaker with a high-capacity battery to charge your portable devices.” Available in black, blue, grey, red and teal, the speaker puts out serious sound, can go pretty much anywhere you want to go and doubles as an external battery...

    : Waterproof; Excellent sound; JBL Connect; Charges phone; Looks as powerful as it is

Should you get the JBL Charge 3? Well, if you don’t mind the larger size of this portable speaker, and you are willing to sacrifice portability for an extra powerful bass, then by all means, yes.

When it comes to summing up the JBL Charge 3, there are some very clear determinations which can be made. For its size, this is a very loud, bassy and good sounding speaker. If you are new to the JBL range and are looking for a very decent Bluetooth speaker which offers a good sound, excellent...

Ultimately, the JBL Charge 3 is a decent-sounding speaker, that also happens to rugged, good-looking, has great stamina and is completely waterproof. It isn’t the last word in refinement, at least not when it comes to compact Bluetooth speakers.

The king of affordably priced portable Bluetooth speakers has returned. And it's bigger, better and more powerful than before. JBL has for a long time been the best at making portable speakers that were unbeatable.

I ordered my Charge 3 some time late Saturday night into Sunday morning and it arrived Tuesday evening! I love the presentation of the packaging so beautiful and professional. The speaker it self is amazing quality and the bass is crystal clear the best sound I've ever heard in the portable speaker.

This speaker is great for outdoor and indoor use for the not too overly scrutinizing listener. I say that based on other reviews who may listen to a specific type of music genre that have gripes about this product and rate it very poorly.

It's my first blue tooth speaker and it works very well. I was a little skeptical about it saying waterproof and what exactly it meant but I took it to the beach and it was sprinkling and it did just fine. The speaker can play very loudly and has an awesome bass, plus a great battery life.

    Good bass, Good battery life

An associate bought one of these, and I was impressed by it's rich, warm, powerful sound and clarity. So I bought one. Now, I keep a close eye on it because everybody wants to borrow it and eventually that will be on a non-return basis. I reluctantly agreed to let my girl take it away on her trip...
