I bought this to replace my Pulse 2, hoping for improved battery life, better lighting effects, and amazing sound quality. Out of those three categories, the battery life is only slightly better than the previous generation, but not quite living up to my expectations of 10-13 hours of playback at moderate listening level (with and without light effects). It couldn't make it through a 10-hour shift of mine. Despite this one shortcoming, JBL has delivered in spades across the board--improvements in all areas, technically. The lighting effects are mesmerizing. The sound is rich and deep. Water-proof index is definitely better than Pulse 2. My only area of concern lies in its construction of the light casing, which is definitely more prone to damages, such as light scratches, dents, and chipping. I never worried about this with Pulse 2 because it felt more durable from accidental drops and whatnot. Pulse 3 is bigger and better in every aspect, but be wary of handling it near rough surfaces and don't expect it to last as long as stated; it's incrementally better than its predecessor by at least 25%. If you are looking for a fantastic Bluetooth speaker, now is the time to grab one while it's still on sale. For all Pulse 2 owners on the fence, don’t hesitate to upgrade to this newer version. You can’t go wrong!

This speaker is by far the best speaker I've purchased :] I recommended it to a couple of my friends and family! And a few have purchased one and they love it! The sound is amazing and bass sounds awesome! Also the colors/lights on it are super cool!

I take this thing with me every time I work out with my trainer at his gym. I took it with me in my bus when I ran Ragnar 2018. And I use it everytime my girlfriends come over to get ready to go out. Not only does it give me surround sound, but it also gives a unique and fun light show that bounces to the beat of the music that I'm playing. Honestly, it's been such a fun and enjoyable purchase, I would HIGHLY recommend to anybody. People are constantly asking me about it... I'm sure other portable speakers might give you slightly better sound quality, but unless they're in a side-by-side comparison, you would never know the difference. The light show in itself is a show stopper. Everybody loves it and I love having it!
