JBL Go 3: My thoughts & sound test!

[@dyaehmacarulay8638]

The pause indicates that you already reached the highest volume or the 100% even in my awei audio devices do the same way

[@robertlongkumer8870]

Rightly mentioned. With no display one won't know the level. So as for me, the pause makes sense.

[@Falalano]

With my Charge 4, it still does the max volume chime but it doesn't pause the music. It only softens it.

[@shankhanilsarkar2161]

Yes, I think almost all JBL speakers and headphones do the same and that's normal.

[@chittocanciofilms]

True, I agree

[@drblitzkreig]

Yes it is very naive for a tech expert to call that out as a problem

[@benziearada6707]

No matter the size and variants, these speakers are so good and affordable, sound is detailed and balanced, what I just hate about JBL (and any other speakers) is that they still don't support fast charging despite having an updated type c charging for some reason, it could be very convenient especially if you forgot to charge and you're about to blast.

[@TarnaBarTM]

It helps with battery life tough, those fast charging batteries are much more prone to die sooner.

[@szilardgurbai3190]

They lack at details just get a hifi system and you will now what is detailed sound.

[@Cryptazz666]

Battery size would have to be 2000mah or more to accept 2 amps of charging and 3000mah at 3 amps.

@@TarnaBarTM that depends on the voltage, that's why you see phones that can charge with more energy than laptops but I agree that, having a medium sized speaker and an extremely priced 2, and a go 2, I would buy the go 3 if it had fast chargin for use on my bike instead of my current bottle cage speaker.

[@kanz7329]

the reason they have a mute and sound at 100 % is to let people know that it is at max volume or you'd have people pressing the plus button more than they need to. It also makes in terms of a warning letting one know that the volume is now about to get louder.

At 9:40 it's done on purpose, it's a vibrator that allows when the speaker is in the sand to vibrate the sand around and create an atmosphere (see jbl go 3 trailer where it is shown). So if you want to listen on a hard surface, you just have to put it upright on the anti-slip strips made for

Just recently got a charge 5, it was a toss up between xtreme 3 and charge 5. My heart wanted the xtreme due to the amazing sound demo I had, but head said charge, as there were too many negatives on the xtreme for portability - not able to charge from car / van usb, and normal usb chargers, not able to use full power on battery, poor battery life when travelling, too large to be truly portable. The charge 5 has an amazing sound for its size, its portable, has excellent battery life, acts as a power bank, and fits in a ruck sack etc, can be charged from the van and car usb ports. But, even though I love my charge 5, I don’t think I’d be carrying it around when mointainbiking, or hiking, because it is 1kg and takes up a drinking bottle space. So although the charge 5 is my go to portable speaker, for situations where its still a bit big or heavy, I think the go3 would be perfect, especially with the belt loop to tie onto a backpack or similar - it’ll take up zero storage space. Definitely going to pick one up to be my ultra portable personal audio buddy.
