Review on JBL Clip 3 Portable Bluetooth Waterproof Speaker (Pink) (Renewed) by Hng Quang ᠌

Revainrating 3 out of 5

There are deviations, generally tolerable.

This apparatus has been in my possession for the past half a year. Excellent craftsmanship - you can feel the thoughtfulness of the design, excellent materials, and you just get aesthetic pleasure from visual and tactile perception are the things that I liked most about it. It has a very convenient clip-on handle that allows you to hang it anywhere; excellent workmanship - you can feel the thoughtfulness of the design; and excellent materials. In terms of the sound, it is hard to produce deep basses with an instrument of this size because you can't fool physics; yet, it plays rather tolerably for being such a small instrument. The reproduction of the mids, in particular, is excellent, which is particularly useful for dubbing films from YouTube as well as listening to audiobooks and podcasts. There is only one disadvantage, but at the same time it can greatly irritate a user who is accustomed to high-quality equipment. This is because there is an unacceptablely high level of background noise, which can be heard as a constant hiss. I don't know about the rest of your speakers, but if all of them hissed like this one did, even the cheapest pocket receiver from the time period when the Soviet Union existed did not hiss in the background. My fellow designers at JBL, but this is simply not serious. Even at the age of 5, my daughter was able to pick up on this pattern as we were reading her bedtime stories. It's possible that this is just an isolated incident, but I've read other reviews and come across customers with very similar issues. As a result, I decided to sell it in the end, and with the money I made, I purchased a Sony SRS-XB21.

Pros
  • Outstanding construction quality, user-friendly design, above-average sound quality for acoustics of this size, and extended battery life.
Cons
  • Extremely loud sounds in the background.
