JBL Xtreme3 Bluetooth Speaker

I bought my wife this speaker 2 years ago for Christmas. She uses it for teaching yoga and around the house. It will no longer take any charge or power on after 2 years of light use, in comparison I found a Wonderboom speaker on the highway 7 years ago and use it daily as a mechanic and it's still working perfectly.JBL has basically told me it's out of warranty so it's my problem.I would highly suggest looking at Wonderboom or any other company. $300 for an "extreme" speaker that lasts 2 years is not OK

Returning. I wanted to love this speaker but I was disappointed with the sound quality and volume. You have to listen to it at 3/4 volume to get any performance at all from it, even inside, and even at full volume it’s not that loud. It’s just ok, definitely not what I was expecting at this price point. I have smaller (much cheaper) BT speakers that can perform almost as well, and similar priced BT speakers that have better sound quality. I thought this speaker would be a good mix of both quality and volume, but it’s not. At full volume it’s ok, but obviously the battery life is then diminished, which was another factor for me.

Don’t buy JBL large speakers! There is a chance of causing a fire.last summer I brought a JBL XTREME when we camp at Jasper, the first night we cook and eat, play music, was enjoyed, then the next morning, we went out for hiking, around noon, I received a phone call from the camping site management office, told us the tent was on fire, and ask us to go back immediately. My first thought was the campfire, but the fire pit was far away from the tent, and the fire in the pit was down when we left. After we got back to the camp site, we saw the tent mostly burned, and it was burned from inside. The camp site staff asked us what’s inside the tent, we named everything, the staff said the fire reason should be the speaker, li-battery may cause fire in some situations.

The camp site staff asked us what’s inside the tent, we named everything, the staff said the fire reason should be the speaker, li-battery may cause fire in some situations. And because the Li-battery is poisonous when burned, we can’t take anything from inside the tent, even the sleep bag in the opposite conner is not burned. The total loss may be worth a few thousand dollars, but I think this is maybe the best way if the speaker must be burned, nobody was injured, my car was not involved, and I can’t image if the fire happened at my home during the sleeping time.Anyway, a big size speaker is not a good idea, I will never buy it again.
