About JBL CLIP 3 - Waterproof Portable Bluetooth Speaker
Overall Feedback:
74% positive
82% found the battery long-lasting, yet 18% reported unexpected drainage
I have not personally tested the advertised 10 hour battery life, but I have never lost power.
The battery life of the speaker is the best thing about it. I have been using it daily for 5 months and had to charge it for the first time today after its initial charging.
I have complained about the speaker's battery life. It only lasts 3 and a half hours with a full charge at 50-60% volume.
68% appreciated the compatibility with voice assistants, yet 32% found it inconsistent
When I connect the speaker to my laptop, it doesn't distort the voices on the podcasts or trainers/music and has good compatibility with voice assistants.
I had to watch a video on the internet to pair the speaker, suggesting it may not work with voice assistants.
78% found it easy to connect, however 22% encountered issues
The speaker has a good range of approximately 90 to 100 feet.
I have noticed that the speaker's connectivity is constantly lost and the microphone works properly only 75% of the time.
The only negative thing about the product is that the range is not very far.
78% found it easy to connect, but 22% faced difficulties in pairing
The sound quality is great for personal use and it's easy to connect to pairing devices.
The speaker has rich bass, long battery life and can be paired in stereo if 2 are bought.
I can easily pair the speaker with my iPhone (13 mini) and play my music library anywhere.
Sometimes the Bluetooth pairing of this speaker can be finicky when connecting to a different device. I've noticed that after connecting to my iPhone, it takes a few tries to connect to my MacBook.
89% praised the compact and portable design, although 11% found it bulky
The speaker is water resistant and can be used outside without any concern of getting damaged. It can even withstand a short duration dunking, according to the manufacturer.
The speaker is larger than I thought and uses a micro USB cable.
89% appreciated the sound quality, but 11% were disappointed
After two years of use, the speakers start to break down and stop working, but the sound quality is good.
The sound quality is not much better or louder than my old Go 3 and it makes weird static/crunching noises when music isnt playing.
The audio quality of the Clip lacks low end and has tinny mids/highs.
I am frustrated with the lack of a 3.5 mm jack in the product, especially since our company specializes in high-quality sound equipment.
