    I expected to have better bass in the equipment but I was wrong. It wasn't what I expected.

    I had to return it as I was not happy with the sound. I can by another speaker for half the price and it will have better sound than this speaker.

    I was a fan of JBL because I own a Flip 5 so I figured I wanted a bigger one for the bedroom, the first one I bought I sent it back because it kept disconnecting from whatever device I was connected to, now the new one does the same every 5 minutes or so, never again will I purchase another JBL VERY EXPENSIVE PAPERWEIGHT!!!

      Thanks for taking the time to provide feedback on our JBL Xtreme 3. The costant disconnection from the speaker could be due to interference with other wireless signals. Please ensure a clear line of sight between the speaker and the source and shut down unused Bluetooth products nearby. Verify if the issue continues across different music applications and devices. You can also try resetting the JBL Xtreme 3 by Pressing and holding the "Volume +" and "Play" for more than 3 seconds. while the speaker is powered on. If the issue continues, please reach out to our customer support team for more assistance. JBL

    JBL doesn't have an app with an equalizer like Sony does. Sound quality is decent but not adjustable. Their app only allows to add more speakers.

      You can always 3rd party equalizer apps from Google Play or Apple Store. JBL

    This had to be the most disappointing JBL item i have purchased. For the size and the price you would think it would be amazing sound and bass. After testing it on 6 different types of musical styles the it was less the sub par. Took back the same day.

    Don’t bother buying this. It’s not compatible with the extreme 2 also you can answer your phone on it. I bought this because two of my friends have the 2 and I wanted to sync up with them and didn’t find out until it was too late and I was out of the return policy timeline. Basically wasted my money

      Thanks for your inquiry. Please try to unpair and pair your JBL Xtreme 3 from your source device. To determine if the problem is in the source device or the speaker, try connecting the speaker to a different device. If the issue persists, please do a factory reset by pressing and holding the volume (+) and pause/play buttons for 5-6 seconds while the speaker is On. If you need more help, please contact our customer support. JBL

    Tue charging port does not work. I’m not sure if only the blue speaker? I bought my husband the black one and everything is fine. This is the second blue one I buy and I’m about to go return it because it does not charge. I even tried his charger for same one.
