      We always recommend that there be a clear line of sight between the connected devices to ensure a stable connection with your Xtreme 3 and your phone. Please note that blockages like walls and other wireless signals can cause interference which can interfere with the connection also. You may try the troubleshooting steps on our support page article titled "Battery and Charging Issues". https://bit.ly/2T1BMuX JBL

    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

    The Xtreme 3 is high quality and the sound is great, however it will not pair with JBL BoomBox 1, so make sure you know before you buy. I am returning and purchasing the Xtreme 2 because they are saying that will work with the original Boombox. The Xtreme 3 will only connect with the Boombox 2.

    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.

      This is not what we want you to experience with our JBL Xtreme 3. If your speaker is not charging, please try another charging cable and power adapter. You may also try using a different wall outlet to ensure that the issue is not with the outlet. Sand and dirt can get into the product's charging port. Clean the charging port with compressed air, and ensure that the power rating of the adapter is 2 amps or higher. For further assistance, please contact our customer support. JBL
