Outstanding speaker

Great speaker and a great price. Sound is excellent, and battery life is extremely long. Literally the only negative I can come up with is that there doesn't seem to be any way to control the speaker with an app, and so no ability to adjust the sound with an equalizer. For the price I paid, I don't mind that at all.

Great Quality and Powerful

I bought this for my Christmas but I am already using. I am very happy with my purchase. It is very powerful and plays for many hours. I love listening to Gospel music and the word of God and this JBL Charge wireless is the best for sound quality, performance, and long hours of continuous play. I am very pleased , I bought myself a wonderful gift that is above and beyond good quality.

Unbelievable

The highs and lows in peaks and base for sure is phenomenal, I purchased at a sale price from $150 to $75 when they had it on sale bought two. Bluetooth, crazy I was able to cast music from 35 yards away. Battery does not last as long as they state (20 hours) though & it takes almost 4 hours to charge. The instructions say to try to plug it into charge once every 3 months you definitely need to do it sooner than that, I keep it on USB charging pretty much all the time when not in use from my laptop or electrical outlet plug in USB charger. Extremely happy for the price point and I bought one to put on my motorcycle and one for the home, my Android phone does not have multicast so I can't send music to both speakers as it's a little outdated but that's another neat feature just cast to two speakers from one phone. It will charge my Motorola One 5G Ace battery but it sucks most of the life out of the speaker battery. Extremely happy with this price point!
