With the JBL Pulse 3, you can start a party anywhere. The Bluetooth speaker has LED lights that change color to the music's rhythm. Via the JBL Connect app, you can adjust the light show as you please. Thanks to the 360-degree distribution of the sound, your music sounds clear from every position. You can use the speaker at home, in the park, or on holiday. Thanks to the waterproof design, it withstands rain, spills, and short submersion in water. Are you planning to throw a big party? If so, you can pair up to 100 JBL speakers that support Connect+. The battery lasts 12 hours, even when the LED lights are on, so you don't have to end the party early.

"WOW!" That was the first thing that came to mind when I first turned on the JBL Pulse 3 and was presented with a beautiful light show.
LIGHT SHOW I am completely fascinated by beautiful LED lighting such as the Philips Hue, and have fallen completely in love with the beautiful, bright lighting of the Pulse 3! Compared to the Pulse 3 a huge improvement.
SOUND Not knowing what to expect, I carefully turned on the Pulse 3 and connected it to my iPhone without any problems. The sound was immediately forwarded, and the music blasted from the speaker of my favorite Spotify playlist "Coffee Club". I fell in love immediately!
Are there no drawbacks at all? Unfortunately yes..
I think it's a shame that no protective case comes with the Pulse 3 in this price range. Also less that there is a black dot on the display. It looks like a dead pixel, but it must be a piece of dust. I assume this is covered under warranty if it bothers you.
All in all a big 9, and technically in perfect order. Now add a protective cover JBL!

This speaker is a fantastic device. Well done from start to finish. That starts with the packaging. It already radiates the premium quality of this speaker. Connecting to iPhone/ iPad and even iMac is a breeze. BT range is very decent! The visual feedback of switching on/off and connecting is a nice addition. The accompanying app for setting/updating the speaker, choosing colors and other options is also user-friendly. It's just frustrating that you have to select the speaker type every time you start the app. Wouldn't he be able to detect this himself?
The visual feedback when playing music is not a direct feedback (light does not respond 1 to 1 to the music). That makes it more of a gimmick. This makes you more of a lava lamp with music. What I still miss is a bag/pouch/case where the speaker can go if I want to take it with me and I want to use it on the beach, for example, without the sand getting everywhere.
I have not been able to test connecting multiple speakers (and tuning the lighting together by shaking). I also think it is too expensive to buy a second one to use the stereo option that way (with 1 speaker on the left and the other on the right)

The JBL Pulse 3 is a fine speaker with many possibilities. It comes in a nice box and everything is well packed. At first glance, the actual speaker seems on the small side (about 1/3 of the whole) but as soon as you hear the sound you know that it is good. Both the high and low tones are pleasant to the ears and it does not necessarily matter which music style you prefer. It all sounds equally good. In terms of ease of use, I must say that connecting with bluetooth is fast and smooth. The JBL app also works fine. However, the controls on the JBL itself are very stiff. You have to put a lot of pressure so that you always have to grab the JBL with your other hand, which in turn results in spots on the light part. The connections for the JBL are behind a protective cap, but this cap cannot be opened with your bare hands. The reason for this is of course the fact that the JBL is waterproof, but that doesn't make it any less annoying. The last annoyance is the battery indicator. This one is very hard to see (five very small dots above the on/off button) so it might as well not be there. The most important addition to this JBL is of course the light shows. There are many possibilities with regard to the light show. Lots of different colors and patterns that you can also have one after the other up to a maximum of three. I personally did not think the light had any added value. To be honest, I only played with it a bit at the beginning but soon left it on the same light show because I just didn't feel the need to adjust it. I haven't been able to turn it off, but it may be possible. The most important thing is, of course, the sound and JBL has simply delivered craftsmanship again. So if you like light shows and good sound then this JBL is for you!
