    Jbl always has the best quality for the best price. This one lasts for 3 days when i jave my music on while working for about 9hrs daily. Love it and it was the smartest decision! The last one is still alive i just needed an update so I’m sure this one will last about 10 years

    Amazing quality and sound, it replaces my $350 marshall speaker very well and its even battery powered and much smaller. Ive used it everywhere and its even fared great with the tough times of being a soldier

    This is a really great speaker. I bought this to temporarily hold me over so I didn’t have to replace a truck head unit and it worked spectacularly. Rarely needed a charge and the sound quality was amazing. The speaker, despite the fact that I had it very well placed out of sight, was SO amazing that 3 days after I bought it, someone broke into my truck to take it.

    Perfect portable speaker or an emergency phone charger. We hook it up to our phones and listen to music while on the fourwheeler or at the beach. Comes in handy if you need to charge something as well, just make sure it has a usb connection.

    As to be expected from JBL, the sound quality from this speaker is great, even with heavier base. Sounds do not get distorted and spund clear at all volumes. It does take a bit to charge but it lasts quite a bit depending on one's usage. Being able to charge other items like your phone or tablet on the go is a plus. We owned the previous versions as well and they have lasted years, we just wanted to upgrade. Pairing multiple devices also gives the illusion of surround sound, which is pretty cool. Worth the price!

    The is a very good portable speaker that won't break the bank. More than adequate for personal listening with clear sound and good bass at low to mid volume. It will fill a large room but it's more suited to providing background music at a party.

    This sound system is definitely worth it. You get bang for the buck. I got an aftermarket carrying case. It does not come with one. It was under $20. I will get another unit so we can link them and pump up the sound outdoors. I would recommend and I will buy again. I love the JBL products. Time will tell if it holds up to wear and tear.

    Perfect for what I was looking for! Great sound and bass for a small speaker. Good length of use per charge and reasonably priced. Sound quality so good I can have it in the living room and still hear loud and clear in adjacent rooms of the house.

    This is a small version of the bigger one I bought last year. I love them both great sound. I love the base. JBL is a very good product and would purchase that for my sound equipment every time it’s available JBL five stars.

    Has very good sound quality. Bass is good for how small and portable it is. Used golfing and would sound even better when 15+ ft away. Thinking of getting for each person i my family to have so we can pair a few while camping.

    Purchased on a whim while I was on vacation. Wanted to have a speaker that was inexpensive and small enough to take to the beach or the pool. I was so impressed with the sound, build quality and features that I purchased an Extreme3 for my home office.

    Like the battery life on this speaker. Since purchasing it 3 weeks ago. I have only charged it once. The sound quality is really good you can feel the base on this small speaker. Overall a great speaker for you to have by the pool, the beach, or on the campgrounds.
