Review on πŸ”Š JBL Portable Bluetooth Waterproof Speaker for Portable Audio & Video by Ben Barrington

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Wobbly charging socket, bad sound quality.

I used to have several JBL speakers. I am an art teacher and have a studio practice. I have always played music for myself and my student 8-10 hours a day and have never had a problem with my JBL systems. I bought my latest JBL speaker on February 17th 2021 and last week on April 4th the system stopped charging. I compared my old jam box to the new one, unfortunately it looks like the company changed a few components and the quality has gone down. The sound is also muffled by the static base. The charging socket on the device is wobbly. It's very common these days for companies to start with a great product to attract customers and then change the perfect system to get more bounces that bring them more profit. I'm not a JBL fan anymore. Revain's return policy only applies to me until March, I have contacted JBL directly and am awaiting a response.

Pros
  • handy item
Cons
  • so far so good
