I've had mine in very heavy use for over a year now and I must commend the team that designed this speaker. I legit think this is one of the goat speakers that people will remember with great nostalgia in a 15-20 years. Everyone I know who has one loves it.
I just recently was gifted my first JBL ever, and when I brought it home my son was really excited. I didn't understand until he paired it to my phone for me and I have to say that, I am hooked on my little JBL now! Thanks for the review! These little speakers are the best! :))
After watching this video in the store, I went ahead and got me one. Best decision I've made in a good bit. Thanks for your video. Love the speaker. It's perfect for what I was looking for and the sound is amazing for the size.
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.
@@szilardgurbai3190 A hifi system is a bit larger than this though. I'd like to see you jam a hifi system in your pocket! For the size the quality is amazing.
@@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.
We use a Language Interpreter at work with a JBL Pulse 2 hooked on as a speaker and when the pairing sound went on for this thing I immediately got nostalgia.
I just got this speaker yesterday and it is pretty bad ass I love it it went for seven hours at my friends house and I didn’t have it above 75% volume the whole time. So it is one hell of a speaker and can last way longer than anything else I would imagine in that small of a form factor.
Whoever is watching this and deciding whether or not to get it: this is your sign to get it. It’s SO good, much value. I bought it for myself but my bf uses it all the time… more than me.
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.
I received mine as a prize, I had a choice of a few items & I'm so glad I chose this dynamite little Blast Box. The sound is awesome so evenly toned. My opinion is you can't go wrong if you get this JBL. I also wished they would shorten the charge time but I'm okay with it since the sound is super! Thanks for the video I really appreciate an honest review, it helped me to decide!
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
Unless you are constantly adjusting the volume, for what ever reason that I can't think of, the 100% clip doesn't bother me. Great review. Mines in the mail. I work in a kitchen and having such a durable and wet proof little speaker for some background tracks is wonderful!
Just bought this speaker today, can concur that I love it. Very portable, very nice to hold, and very good sound quality. I don’t really feel the same way about the pause, I find is useful myself but I do recommend you turn it all the way up before playing the music if you find it irritating. I even have this same color. It can come with a 2 year protection plan from Walmart and I got that of course, only 4 extra dollars at my local. This review, I rate a 10/10 and the speaker I also rate a 10/10.
Awesome speaker sounds spectacular can’t wait till your new review on the new Flip 6 in December. The GO 3 comes in spectacular colors looking for the JBL in orange have to go over seas to get it. This GO 3 blows away the GO2 JBL really engineered this speaker to a great performance level.
I think the 100% thing is a way of telling the user that it's on max volume, otherwise you usually have to guess with other devices. Can you use it directly through the USB port or do you have to stream the music with bluetooth?
Bought it today, and when I tried 100 i just rolled my eyes thinking i got a foulty unit. Never had a way of telling me with other bt devices, glad to get it confirmed in this vid
It is every Bluetooth headset and speaker I've had does that lol gotta have something to complain about though can't every be 100% perfect but yeah a better battery life like 8-10 hours would be primo that's the only reason I have not bought one
I bought one of these at a Local Wal Mart I'm very pleased with my purchase of this speaker I was blown away by the sound of this speaker for the size it is it sounds really good I definitely recommend it
I got an xb12 and $20 for a broken vape 5 years ago.. served me well til last year when it was passed on to my girlfriend.. then i got the go3 😎 we got good speaker tastes
I'm going to purchase this JBL GO3 in the blue color right now on Amazon because of this video review. I already have the JBL GO2, CLIP3 & CLIP4 all in blue so I might as well add this JBL GO3 to my collection. Thanks for this excellent video review.
Great review and you just made my Holidays SUPER! This speaker is just what I needed for my wonderful music collection downloads. Thanks so much for making this review. Happy holidays!
I really really like the Simplicity of your video! I'm not tech savvy so I never understand all of that. I'm definitely subscribing to your channel I hope all your videos or like this. I'm headed to Amazon.
11:40 that noise is to indicate that it is already at 100% volume. usually, in real life environment when you will be using this, you will not increase or decrease the volume looking at your source device.
It has a great sound. I just wish the battery life were a bit better. However, with the great sound this speaker puts out, you really wouldn't have to really crank it to really enjoy your music or other content. I'm sure audio books would sound great on this speaker as well.
Just ordered this days ago, can't wait for it to arrive! Got it in teal. Was going to get sony's xb12 but I'm happy I ordered this. It's pretty decent. Haha.
I bought one today. Trying to drain the battery, so I started around 2pm. After 7pm it’s still holding strong, but the led red is blinking. After 9pm, still running strong. It’s still running strong as I’m typing. I’m very impress.
GO3 is the best sound quality in a small box in one hand, there is no other speaker that sounds well. The midrange and treble are perfect. I installed a larger capacity lithium-ion battery because the original one is for 4 hours of listening at 75% volume.
Thrash metal is the best test for portable speakers. I suggest Cemetery Gates or Needled 24/7. If it doesn't explode after three minutes then it's good
Best speaker for that price tag don't hesitate if u want to buy it Sound quality perfect(the bass omg) Design perfect Durability perfect Plus it's half of the size of my phone you can carry it everywhere
The noise at 100% is to let you know you’ve reached full volume. I don’t think it would bother me. You’re not going to keep pressing it in a row in a normal situation.
That pause was made by the phone not by the speaker. It was made in case you listen to the headphones via bluetooth and the phone will tell you in that way (mine also on the screen via a message) that you are at a dangerous level for your ears.
All I wanted to know 4:36 is how does it turn on because the generic Bluetooth speaker I bought at the 99 store for $20, well its loud when it starts, really loud
I’m not sure if this has been mentioned or not, but that pause at 100% volume is JBL’s max volume indicator. My Go2 and party boxes do the same thing, it’s no biggie.
I haven’t got a speaker yet, never had one, i was looking into buying one and I liked this jbl go 3, it’s just that why it doesn’t have a proper strap, if it had the strap than I would buy it. When will there be a jbl go 4, maybe with a proper strap?
How long do you think it is safe to use it? I bought mine yesterday and I have been using it for a long time, although the battery has lasted since then so I am very satisfied in that aspect
That pause which You are talking about in 11:25 is because You were clicking the button until the scale ends and speaker paused Your music to tell You about it by this funny sound which was played during that pause.
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.

It helps with battery life tough, those fast charging batteries are much more prone to die sooner.
They lack at details just get a hifi system and you will now what is detailed sound.
Battery size would have to be 2000mah or more to accept 2 amps of charging and 3000mah at 3 amps.

Just got mine today! Now I have two JBL speakers! One is my first JBL clip 3 and then this. Both sounded so great!
which one is better? My friend got the clip 3 and I think it doesn't sound that great
Which is better?
Just got mine. Fell in love with it
Whoever is watching this and deciding whether or not to get it: this is your sign to get it. It’s SO good, much value. I bought it for myself but my bf uses it all the time… more than me.
The pause indicates that you already reached the highest volume or the 100% even in my awei audio devices do the same way
Rightly mentioned. With no display one won't know the level. So as for me, the pause makes sense.
With my Charge 4, it still does the max volume chime but it doesn't pause the music. It only softens it.
Yes, I think almost all JBL speakers and headphones do the same and that's normal.
True, I agree
Yes it is very naive for a tech expert to call that out as a problem
I recently picked one up for $30 at Best Buy. You can’t beat it for that price.
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.
to add to your point, other speakers and headphones do the same, mine say "Maximum volume".
Thanks man but i think everyone knows that.
@layyfuujuju8410 Well it looks to me that this RUclipsr didn’t
So you ou can actually play truth or dare (spin the *bottle) with this speaker.
😂
😂😂
@@ChrispyThings jbl go, jbl go 2 or jbl go 3 is the loudest ???????????
Lol 😂 😂
@@alexutz9283 go three is a little bit louder
I got one for my niece for Christmas so pleased to see that it's a quality item. I also got her the matching carry case that's sold separately.
I received mine as a prize, I had a choice of a few items & I'm so glad I chose this dynamite little Blast Box. The sound is awesome so evenly toned.

Yes, your right guys, the number 1 viewers of Pornhub, the Philippines.
Its to tell you that you hit max volume, so your not pushing another 10 times with nothing happening. I actually like that little warning.
That pause one you hit max volume is actually a useful feature IMO :)
This easily outperformed my Sony SRS-XB12 that I somehow lost for half the price. I was astonished.
I played them both together at Walmart the jbl 3 was a lot louder and clear
I got an xb12 and $20 for a broken vape 5 years ago.. served me well til last year when it was passed on to my girlfriend.. then i got the go3 😎 we got good speaker tastes
I got this today and I'm really amazed. Very clear mids and highs

At what volume level you set?
GO3 is the best sound quality in a small box in one hand, there is no other speaker that sounds well. The midrange and treble are perfect.

How do you install a larger battery ?
@@Amine382 Voltage 3.6V / 3.7V
Choose the largest battery capacity (mAh) that fits in the housing - measure yours.

Great review, thanks… from Perú.
It’s so weird when holding it. When the bass kicks it vibrates like no other JBL. It’s really cool
I’m not sure if this has been mentioned or not, but that pause at 100% volume is JBL’s max volume indicator.
My Go2 and party boxes do the same thing, it’s no biggie.
It’s been mentioned 100 times.
And I wasn’t literally saying i didn’t know what it was.
That’s just what I say when I think something is dumb
The pause and the sound when you reach max volume is a warning that you can't go pass that level and warn you not to press the +vol. again
Yes yes thanks
I haven’t got a speaker yet, never had one, i was looking into buying one and I liked this jbl go 3, it’s just that why it doesn’t have a proper strap, if it had the strap than I would buy it. When will there be a jbl go 4, maybe with a proper strap?
