Jbl Pulse 3 Waterproof Speaker

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The JBL Pulse 5 is AMAZING! I recommend it for anyone who is looking for a smaller size speaker with great sound and a great lightshow to boot. My daughter used this for a party at our house recently and the kids went wild over the lights. JBL's app let's you control the lights with your phone. Another big plus! The sound is JBL crystal clear. The Pulse 5 stayed charged for the entire party and there was no need to charge the next day either. It is supposed to have 12 hours of play time, but we did not let it go dead. I love the carry strap. It looks like a large coffee cup when not plugged in! No need to worry about rain. This speaker is water resistant. It looks SUPER COOL! I recommend it for anyone, but especially anyone with a child at college. This is also a great dorm speaker. I'm buying one for both my girls.

I had the JBL Pulse 3 and I decided to upgrade. Y'all! This speaker is amazing! I love the way it looks, the light show is awesome. The sound is great, perfect tones and doesn't distort if you turn it up. I love how heavy it is. The only thing I don't like is that the light show doesn't seem to sync to the music, it's more random than on beat, even if you adjust the light show speed. But I would definitely buy this speaker again. Love it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The JBL Clip 5 is a truly amazing small compact speaker with a big punch. The JBL Clip 5 connected very easily via bluetooth and using the JBL portable app, you can now customize your EQ and connect multi-speakers. The sound is very clear with a balanced highs and a nice punchy bass. It has an IP67 waterproof rating, and I have used it in the shower. I can honestly say it's waterproof. I like the big clip on it, so it hooks securely to my backpack. The the power and controls are easy to push. JBL has gone another level with this small compact speaker. On a scale of 1 to 10, I'll give it a 9 rating for sound, convenience, and portability.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] One of the coolest speakers you'll ever own. Not only does the Pulse 5 have quality sound output but it's ability to change color and pulse to the music is super entertaining and almost mesmerizing. The build quality is impressive, feels very durable and also waterproof. I use mine in my living room at night and it turns into a mini festival. The app is very useful since it allows complete customization of the lights, whether it's the pattern or color! I even got the chance to use the partyboost feature, which allows multiple Bluetooth connections to other JBL speakers, it turned my house into a concert with multiple sources of music. The light output is what sets the Pulse 5 apart from other speakers, it's like a lava lamp that plays music, is portable and waterproof. What else could you need!

Just received my JBL pulse 5 a few days ago and let me just say wow from opening the box to actually using it, it has blown me away. Having the pulses 1-5 and to see how far they have come its truly incredible. The light show is unreal also awesome how they added the lights on the bass. The app is easy to use with a lot of cool newer options! Having the strap gives you the ability to place this pulse anywhere ! I currently have it on my Christmas tree lol and I have a lot of friends and people that follow me on social media nonstop talking about my newest speaker. Great addition to the collection and the best one yet ! Highly suggest getting one ITS WORTH IT !!!!!!

We have other JBL speakers - Charge 3 and a Pulse 3 both are outstanding. The Pulse 3 got knock off the refrigerator and other than some scuffs none the worse for wear, great speaker.

I bought this speaker as soon as it came out & I love it. I had the pulse 4 before it, and they are both great. This new one sounds better, has better bass, and is larger. It’s great that there’s an equalizer option in the app. I really like that they put a strap on the back so I can carry it easier too. The lights are awesome, and better than the pulse 4. One thing I miss that the pulse 4 had and this one doesn’t, are the buttons to pause music, and change the volume on the speaker. The pulse 5 doesn’t have those buttons, but it’s not that big of a deal to me. I still love it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Pulse 5 is a nice sized portable speaker with powerful sound & bass. The quality sound is strong and clear no matter the genre of music or entertainment being played on it. The colors the speaker projects are so vibrant & captivating, you can't help but stare at it while awesome tunes play! This speaker commands attention with the cascade of light it gives out. It's perfect for gatherings or just hanging out.

It's not perfect but it is a fun and great speaker. I have an older JBL Pulse 2 that is not holding a charge like it use to, so I decided to upgrade to the Pulse 5. I like the 360-degree light show and all of the options to modify the light show are really cool. The speaker itself is about 30% bigger than my old Pulse speaker - so it isn't something I would pack in luggage for an airline trip/vacation, but I do like to take it up to the cabin or bring it into the backyard to play music while in the hot tub or while barbequing. The music that comes from it is great and the ability to control the bass, mids, and highs is a great feature. I also like that you can pair up multiple Pulse 5 speakers and play them in stereo while having an outdoor light show. Also, the APP that controls the speaker is very easy to use. So why isn't the speaker perfect - because there is no external volume control; you can't just grab the speaker and raise or lower the volume. Volume is controlled entirely by the APP on your phone. I can live with this one shortfall though, and it doesn't stop the speaker from being an awesome speaker and a great value for what you get.

I've been a JBL person for many years, but I must say that putting this speaker next to my JBl JRX112M (the same speaker configuration), blew me away. I never thought JBL could be surpassed. I was wrong. This EV speaker did it. As a pro musician for many years, I rate this at the top 3 speakers in it's class, if not the top of the heap. I love the light weight for transporting, as I have to move my equipment 5 nights per week in Las Vegas. The sound reproduction is great. It actually put out more volume at the same mixer setting than the JBL. There are two things I would like to see changed. The handles should be on top (as the JBL), not on the sides. This will make the speaker easier to grab and load into a vehicle, instead of bending over and reaching for the handle on the side. Another change I would like to see, is that the cabinet would have both Speakon and 1/4 inputs, as some mixers don't have Speakon outputs, therefore requiring you to buy an adaptor. The JBL has both Speakon and 1/4 inputs. Otherwise, this speaker is an excellent choice...
