  • Great product, easy to use, sounds great, and a super price,

    It’s perfect for me. I own / run a small music shop that sells mostly vinyl LPs, CDs, and 45s. I like to let my customer’s know about artists or songs that they don’t know about, such as The Shadows and their first huge hit “Apache”. Most people have never heard of the group or the song. Playing the music on my phone is not the best option, and with this new JBL remote speaker, my problem is now solved and my customer’s love it. The sound is great and it is so easy to use.

  • Very good choice with a few draw backs

    The only reason i didn't give the Charge Essential a 5 star rating was the sound quality. I feel that it doesn't have the sound quality of my flip 5. That thing still amazes me... But, i am still happy with this item. I think the slightly lower sound quality in the higher frequency end is offset by the added capability of this speaker with its ability to recharge your phone. The sound is still very good, frankly if i didn't have the flip 5 i would have called the sound from this exceptional! If you are thinking of this speaker don't think it will sound terrible, very good bass! My only other nitpick is the micro USB charge plug you will need to recharge. I prefer the tougher, quicker USB "C" that my flip 5 uses.Again STILL a very good choice, and cheaper than a Charge 4.

  • Just what I needed

    Got exactly what was described! Great speaker with great battery life (my old one would die with 2 hours of work left). This one can last 2+ days in the cold and snow. Makes my days better:)

    Really good speaker. The cat hates it tho. I have never seen something shipped in more protective foam than this thing came in. Bubble wrapped like a tank suspended in biodegradable packing peanuts. USPS could have shot it out of a canon through the side of my building and the speaker wouldn't have been scratched.

  • Stand alone bluetooth speaker

    So, you probably know this speaker cannot pair with any other speaker. As long as you're okay with that, from what I understand this is a renamed charge 3 that was sold in certain big box retail stores. You can find specifications and videos online of the charge 3, and to a lesser extent- the charge essential. I find it a big step up from my CS angle speaker, though to be fair the oontz was only half the wattage of this charge essential. I use it to listen to music as well as internet talk radio and I love the sound quality. It would have been nice if this package included the ac wall adapter, but it only includes the cable. I know the Samsung S8 and Note 9 wall adapters match perfectly, but they are long compared to the JBL adapter and wouldn't fit in my speaker case. I picked up a used JBL in orange that matches the cable pretty closely. I only paid about $11 for the case, and it's nice and fits the speaker and the AC adapter and cable.
