I was actually deciding between the Flip 3 and the Charge 3. I ended up getting the Flip 3 because although it's not as loud as the Charge, it's way more balanced and neutral, at least for a cylinder-shaped Bluetooth speaker. I even use the Flip wired to my flat screen TV and the sound improvement is amazing but it doesn't go super deep in the bass dept. But for casual listening, even for moderate sized rooms, the Flip 3 is amazing if you care more about overall sound reproduction. However, if you're more about large room-filling sound and want more (if not quite natural) bass output, the Charge 3 might be the ticket.
Just picked one of these up slightly used for $60! I ne er thought I'd use a wireless speaker as much as I do. Some of the bose mini speakers sound maybe slightly better if you're picky but for being dust and water proof this thing does it all. Also very cool way to watch movies on a laptop or tablet. Sounds like a mini sound theater.
There's something really underestimated in portable speaker reviews: JBL products (perhaps UE too, I only had JBL) are all round with an inadequately small stand underneath. You slightly knock it, it starts rolling, falls down and your beautiful speaker is damaged. Feel free to try this at home.
it's the charge3 a good alternative to a 2.1 system? I'm looking for a good sound quality with quite powerful bass,to listen hip hop,techno,house and use it with my notebook to watch some films. I'm looking for a bluetooth speakers in order to avoid a big sub and thousand cables in my room.
Holyshit, perfect timing. I'm planning on purchasing Charge 3 or Flip 3, depending on bang for buck. The only thing is that the Charge 3 is 180 EUR, or 200 USD here in Europe, while being 135 EUR, or 150 USD in the US. I think I'll buy both, test them out, and send them both back. Then, when on a business trip to the US I'll purchase the one I liked most.
you should review the boombotix pro! it's a great portable speaker. it is small, has dual pro acoustic speakers, waterproof and is great for any outdoor sports or just going out and chilling
Can i connect it to the laptop with USB or something like USB and it will create a situation that the computer provides the speaker with a wired charge and the speaker will provide audio without connecting through the Bluetooth ?? I would love for a quick reply Thanks!
UE packs a bigger punch it is extremely durable, Harman Kardon Studio 2 portability is questionable but it is rated one of the most powerful speakers ever $130
Is there a charging indicator. For example lights that continue to blink so you know the charging ? Or is there just no lights on while you charge. Please reply ASAP
Yes the battery indicator lights on the bottom front that he talks about blink when charging and each dot slowly goes solid left to right indicating how much it has charged and when it's full.
I think you should get JBL flip 4 or charge 3. Cause both are loud, both are waterproof. The bass on the charge is a little better but it's a little more muddy. But flip 4 is way smaller. So on holidays vacations flip 4 is better. Both look amazing. So get charge 3 or flip 4.
hi guys i look for a speaker wich has pretty good sound and BASS i really like the creative soundblaster roar 2 but i heard that there are better bass and sound speaker. maybe under max 150€
+Evode Iraguha I might get this if the flip 3 I bought my mom start crackling again because it was crackling when you had it above 50 percent volume but it fixed it self. I'd it starts again I'll get this one for her.
I just ordered one for 114 euro (blue) but now I'm fucking worried. I ordered at some shit store called eglobal center, has terrible reviews and is a Hongkong based company. I'm worried I might get a fake. I also was forced to get the blue one since black etc were more expensive but after I bought it the price of the black one (the one I really wanted) dropped.. and a friend of mine has a reliable place that sells it for the same price ... but I can't fucking cancel my order on the site need some live chat or some shit but their live chat doesn't work... tried mailing them but the site says you can cancel trough mail.. for fucks sake.. I just want a black JBL charge 3
+George Rickett i don't think that there is any reason to call me dumbass. The UE products' waterproofing is just from the grill. There are no sealings inside so if water enters the grill it can cause damage

moltenbullet I got mine in blue and it has bad connection issues, it kept cutting in and out at times, and occasionally it would get really terrible. So I sent it back, they said they didn't have blue, so I told them black. They sent a gray one. Anyways this one does the same thing. I'm just gonna give it more time to see if it fixes itself over hours and hours of playback. But it fucking sucks that they sent me a gray one, it's disgusting. And I know you'll say it's my phone, but my phone is a moto g3 and it has always worked fine with the jbl charge 2 I've had for a year. Oh and shipping was $20 and I now have the same issue in a worse color.
The cloth covering is NOT waterproof. It's all about the inside.
Why only 8,8 in battery Life. It has one of the best battery life.
Right? It easily gives be 5-6 days of moderate to high use. Tons better than bose mini i used to have.
At lasts around 7 hours at max volume. I dont know many speakers that can beat this
Its because the battery life reduces when you charge devices with it he even said that on the review

how do you connect it to your tv?
+David Zuniga I just run a cord (3.5mm to 3.5mm) from the headphone output of the TV into the Flip.
+Randall Collins do all tvs have this
David Zuniga I don't know for sure. I think most of them do. At least modern flat screens do.
Randall Collins I have both charge 3 is WAYYYYY BETTER

You should have mentioned that the Charge 3 actually SWIMS on water
rly?
Dat Boi Yea, it floats
Cheong Ziyong damn. I should have tested it with ours

Which is better?jbl flip 4 or jbl charge3?
Can i connect it to the laptop with USB or something like USB and it will create a situation that the computer provides the speaker with a wired charge and the speaker will provide audio without connecting through the Bluetooth ?? I would love for a quick reply Thanks!
need a speaker around 100-150. ue boom 2 or creative soundblaster roar 2 or jbl charge 3? What else
UE packs a bigger punch it is extremely durable, Harman Kardon Studio 2 portability is questionable but it is rated one of the most powerful speakers ever $130
It's going to take 6 months for the Charge 3 to come to Malaysia; admittedly, that's about the right time fir me to upgrade my Flip 3
Is there a charging indicator. For example lights that continue to blink so you know the charging ? Or is there just no lights on while you charge. Please reply ASAP
Pinkeo Menorath the lights blink when it's charging
Yes the battery indicator lights on the bottom front that he talks about blink when charging and each dot slowly goes solid left to right indicating how much it has charged and when it's full.
I'd be really thrilled if i got that charge as a give away. Thanks any way for the great content. Keep it up
has theses speakers sound quality got better same or worse since the waterproof feature 👍
very helpful to compare between the products
Please do a review for the Bang & olfusen Beoplay A1 !!! Thanks a ton !!!
A comparison between this and BEOplay A1 would be nice.
how do you compare JBL charge 3 vs. Pulse 2?
Will you review Beats Pill plus. If you wont,can you please give me your opinion on how it sounds.
Why you give 9.3 for connection?? UE has 100 feet range....
I'm thinking about this but I don't know if it's the best option. What Bluetooth speaker do you think I should get?
I think you should get JBL flip 4 or charge 3. Cause both are loud, both are waterproof. The bass on the charge is a little better but it's a little more muddy. But flip 4 is way smaller. So on holidays vacations flip 4 is better. Both look amazing. So get charge 3 or flip 4.
JBL charge 3 or Marshall Kilburn?
Sounds like an amazing speaker
Should I get the flip 4 or the charge 3
I'm trying to decide between these two as well. Did you end up choosing one?
hey dude i got the charge 3 it is awesome excellent bass and sounds great you would enjoy it go for charge 3 not flip 4
Dhruv Padiath i have the older flip 3 and it sounds decent for its size :)
Can you please do a review on the omni jacket its 200 and may be better than the Jbl charge 3.
jbl charge 3 or ue boom 2?
Andrew Mok charge 3
Charge 3
hi guys i look for a speaker wich has pretty good sound and BASS i really like the creative soundblaster roar 2 but i heard that there are better bass and sound speaker. maybe under max 150€
jbl charge 2 plus
charge 2+ or charge 3?
Charge 3
is this colour for woman?
this or the charge 2?
this

I have one.
Review the Flip 4
The charge 3's grill isn't waterproof, water will enter the grill. Watch this video: JBL Charge 3 the inside story
yes it enters the grill with a lot of waterproof speakers you dumbass😂 then it shoots out looking awesome.
+George Rickett i don't think that there is any reason to call me dumbass. The UE products' waterproofing is just from the grill. There are no sealings inside so if water enters the grill it can cause damage
Michel Bashalany but there's no reason to care about it. It's still waterproof either way
+George Rickett there's a reason to care about it. If the speaker is sealed then the grill will not affect the sound but if the gril is what makes the speaker waterproof it muffles the sound
Michel Bashalany mhm submerged in water up to 3 feet
I've had the worst experience with mine sadly
I'd like to hear more. What happened with yours?
moltenbullet I got mine in blue and it has bad connection issues, it kept cutting in and out at times, and occasionally it would get really terrible. So I sent it back, they said they didn't have blue, so I told them black. They sent a gray one. Anyways this one does the same thing.

Oh and shipping was $20 and I now have the same issue in a worse color.
+George Rickett try if it still does it with a diffrent phone just to be sure its the speaker.
KenzieGaming yeah but what's it gonna matter, I'm not using a different phone
+George Rickett to see if its the problem with phone or the speaker :D
Better late than never.
