Jbl Portable App Not Finding Speaker

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Wow! The first word that comes to mind when I cracked open the new JBL Clip 5 from Harman. How can all that sound come from such a small package?!? Let me explain... The new and revised Clip 5 offering from JBL offers many upgrades from previous models including better battery life, connectivity, and a larger/durable 'clip' (carabiner) opening to accommodate more areas in which to use this roughly 6x4x2 inch speaker! The sound is potent with punchy bass emitting from a frequency range of 95hz-20Khz. The sound is nothing short of astounding but also lives up the the JBL reputation of bigger isn't always better. The small palm-of-your-hand sized frame (which is dust and WATER proof) is rugged and can take abuse from most any outdoor activity in which it is used. Battery life is up to 12hrs with an additional 3hrs of playtime when you turn Playtime Boost (in the JBL Portable App) to the off setting... all this with just a minimal 3 hour charge time from a supplied USB-A to USB-C connecting cable. The cable is short but does the trick and you must supply a wall USB-A compatible charging block yourself. The speaker is able to be connected to other JBL Portable devices thru AuraCast and the JBL app for a complete party on the go.. whether you're fishing, swimming, beaching, off-roading, partying, or just relaxing.. it just works! I did have trouble when first trying to connect the speaker to the JBL Portable App but soon discovered a quick update of the App fixed all connectivity issues. The Clip 5 does come in a variety of colors but whatever the color... this thing just ROCKS! The main use I have for the speaker is in my shower. My mornings are started with a bang from this potent little monster! Well worth every penny just as other JBL speakers I have in my collection. The JBL/Harman name is simply synonymous with quality sound and craftsmanship!

Wonderful sound coming out of this little speaker. Highly recommended especially with the JBL portable app where you can adjust the bass levels.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Boombox 3 is really amazing ! First it truly has that full bodied sound that a really much larger speaker has. Second I used the JBL portable app and customized the sound through equalization and it sounds incredible, the app is a very good tool to use with this speaker. Thirdly this speaker although heavy is easy to carry around with the sturdy handle provided. We used it at the pool instead of turning on our main pool bar speaker system which is JBL also. It is very portable and very loud if you turn it up but it still sounds awesome at lower volumes and provides that full punchy sound. It is waterproof and that means were taking it to the beach baby! By far this is my new best bluetooth speaker that I will use and enjoy for a very long time. The battery is strong and has held a charge for I know at least 6 hours of play. JBL did it again and hit this one out of the park excellent quality bluetooth speaker that I highly recommend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] In a world where things are getting smaller, like your phones, the money in your wallet, and your burger, JBL introduces a big portable speaker with an even bigger sound. Here is what I love about this speaker. The packaging on this product is second to none. It is enclosed in a soft like bag and surrounded by the most durable egg carton cardboard I have ever seen. I wouldn't worry about this item ever being damaged in shipping. Straight out of the box, I loved the unique throwback design. An overall black design, trimmed in antique gold, will match any area in your home. And when you go portable, people will wonder where you got this retro looking item. I immediately downloaded the JBL One app to my phone, and had no problem connecting it to the Bluetooth on my phone, or even to the Wifi in my home. And within minutes, I was using the speaker in place of my Amazon Alexa. I cranked it up so loud, my wife complained, but she was surprised by the sound from 3 rooms away. And the app, lets me dial in the song and sound I like. From country to pop and classical to jazz, every note is clear and the bass is thumping. One drawback is the heft of this item. It is a beast, and toting it for a long periods of time will wear you out. Also, the handle is not that comfortable. It is squared off and not very well padded. Regardless of just those two drawbacks, this speaker is built like an American made car from the 1950s, made to last and to be treasured for years to come. Ideally, I think this speaker is meant for home use. It's gonna replace any other portable wireless speaker you own. Mine is set in the bedroom, plugged in, and always on.

Have had this JBL speaker about 2 weeks. Love the adjustable equalizer on the app. Speaker sounds loud & clear. Has great bass & lofty highs. Love cranking rock music from this speaker. Light show is an added benefit but secondary to the music quality. Sooo happy I bought it! Love this speaker.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great Portable Speaker! For a small speaker, this JBL really does a great job. It's bass is stronger than I would have expected. It also has good volume for the footprint. It was very easy to connect to my phone via Bluetooth.

The jbl clip 4 is the best portable speaker I have ever known there is no speaker like this one good job jbl for your hard work.

Extremely impressed with the JBL Flip 6. I highly recommend this portable mini speaker.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This speaker is outstanding! Another Win for the JBL Team. I have the Authentics in my living room on an end-table and to my surprise almost everyone who walks past it asks where did i get that Retro Speaker and how does it sound. I have no hesitation to open my App, provided in the instructions, and play what ever they want to hear. It is so user friendly through the App or by adjusting the Bass and Treble. I do however suggest you put it on a hard surface because of the large subwoofer on the bottom. I had it on carpeted floor and it didn't have the same punch. It is equipped with Voice Assistant integration, Built-in Wi-Fi, The JBL One App like I was telling you about, a 3.5 mm audio cable Input, and Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant built in. Just a heads up you will have to go onto you Amazon account to add the device I'm sure Google is the same way. Also "JBL One" the App allows you to adjust the Mid range where the adjustable dials on top of the speaker do not have the option. Similar to the Extreme 3, it has a built in charger connection on the back. Very useful. You have heard the Pros, now for the Cons. It has some weight to it BUT you're not carrying it around everywhere so it's cool. Must have on a mid height flat surface for best quality sound, That's all I got lol

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The JBL Authentics 300 is a great all around home speaker. For the size, the quality of the audio it's hard to beat. The style is sleek and a nice throwback. As always, initial impressions after opening up the box are good. JBL always does a great job packaging their speakers and making them feel worth the money. The speaker is heavy and feels very well made for its size and the leather accents and gold finish just add to the overall look. For the sound quality, this little speaker is loud but also crisp. Inside a house its more than enough, even if you're having a party. The backlit volume, treble, bass, and power button allow easy low light adjustability and are really great to have. The low volume performance is on par with other JBL speakers, great as always. With that said, if you plan on needing extra volume and bass or will be playing the music outside, I would suggest JBL's partybox. Other features include the use of the JBL app and connectivity to wifi, which allows it to receive updates through the JBL app and enables Alexa and Google Assistant playback. One criticism I have is the amount of JBL apps, it took me a few minutes to figure out which app I needed because their are so many! JBL could streamline this process with one main app. Overall, this speaker is great to have if you want style, a classic look, and great sound quality all in one. It excels at looking the best and having the best sound for the size and I would definitely recommend it.
