Q: What is better, jbl charge 4 o boom 3? And why is better? And the duration off battery both?

A: Maybe mine is defective or not made to be played at full volume because it only gives roughly 3:30 hours of play on full volume. my JBL charge 3 had consistently given me more than 8 hours of play on full volume for 8 months until recently. Now, speakers aren't made to be constantly played on full volume and I understand that but if you use yours outdoor and play on full volume like I do, JBL speakers are the best , they have more powerful and longer lasting batteries. As far as sound quality they are pretty much the same.

Q: How big is the speker

A: The size of this speaker is as follows Product Height 7.2 inches Product Width 2.9 inches

Q: Anyone have a problem with the charging port? Can't tell if it is a manufacturing error, or its just purposefully difficult to connect cable to port? Thanks!

A: This is the only thing I don’t like about it - it’s extremely hard to get the connection in. .. And I work for IT, for a living.

Q: Does this speaker have an auxiliary input or is it bluetooth only?

A: There is no auxiliary input in this device to use an outside source only Bluetooth. There is only a charging connection.

Q: I see that there is up to a $30 difference between different colors. The Storm is currently the cheapest at $119 whereas the black one is $149 (with other prices in between). Are these different models/colors identical other than the exterior color?

A: Yup. They are all the same except color. If there is a specific color you wanted that is more expensive than the others, I would recommend looking for the color in a different store and using Bestbuy’s price match to get it in store if you wanted it soon

Q: Just bought BOOM 3, got home and noticed note on the box that stated "Made for Apple iPhone/iPad". Same statement in some fine print inside. I do not own any Apple products. My computer has MS Windows and phone is android. Should I return this speak?

A: Yes, I use it with my Samsung Android phone. In addition, I use it with my Dell laptop and desktop. It connects via Bluetooth. The sound quality is also very good.
