Multiple Micro USB Cable Failures
on December 23, 2014
Posted by: TalonRock
from Elm Grove, WI, United States
Our family has three JBL Charge speakers. Every one of them has the same fatal flaw--the micro USB cables that allow the speaker to charge have all failed.
As they begin to fail, they quit charging easily and you are left to manipulate the cord into an awkward position to keep charging. Later the cables just quit connecting altogether. The part literally came apart in my hand as I was plugging it in on one of my speakers.
If this happened once, I wouldn't worry about it, but when it happens with ALL THREE speakers we own, there is a serious problem.
I can't recommend this one.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

When compared side by side to the other speakers in the same category, it is quite surprising how much better the Charge performs. And it's priced much less than most all of its competitors on top of it. I highly recommend this product!

Love our JBL Charge! Did a lot of research on Bluetooth portable speakers and this one had the best reviews and most value for the money and I can only reaffirm the awesomeness of this. It's easy to connect the speakers to phones. You just need to connect your phone to the speaker during the initial sync with a USB cord and then you're good to go! Great battery life and sound quality from this little guy. Easy to transport and take with you. I found mine on eBay Now and couldn't be happier.

Fantastic Sound

I bought this six months ago for the sound quality of JBL speakers. We own studio speakers that are phenomenal. This small speaker was great until two days ago. The speaker stopped working, now I have to try and take it back for an exchange. Three days I would have recommended this to my friends, but not now.

Great Unit for a Great Price!

I compared many (JBL Charge, Jawbone Jambox, Bose SoundLink and Beats Pill) at a local retail store and after an hour of listening, comparing and connecting to each I decided to purchase the JBL Charge. I was very surprised with the quality of the sound compared to the other three. It had the right amount of highs and lows for my ears. The other three were just to low (to much bass) that when I cranked up the volume the sound became very distorted unlike the JBL where it just got better and better. After my purchase I immediately when home opened, connect and listened for a couple of hours straight. On another note that has me really impressed me with the JBL is I visited a friends house for a BBQ and there were two of the other units there (Jawbone & Bose) and we compared all three at the same and boy did others at the BBQ really rave about the JBL for the quality of the sound; even those that owned the other two units! They all said the highs were really impressive with just the right amount of bass.
Three key features of the JBL charge that made my decision were: 1) Price $149 (Jawbone $199 & Bose $299) 2) The design and size were just right for me (Jawbone was to small, Bose was to large & Beats was just an odd shape) 3) The battery life is 12 hours, even though I have not been able to put it to the test it also has the capability of charging your phone at the same time if it was put to the test as I know my phone would not outlast that (Jawbone & Bose 3-4 hours with no options to charge your phone). I did play it for 4 hours while charging my phone to a full battery (from half charged) and there were still 2 lights lit out of 3 for the charge status.
In just the couple weeks I have owned it I have been very pleased and will continue to take to any function and/or event I attend to show and share its great sound and options!!!

Simply Amazing!

I've tested many portable bluetooth speakers including the Bose, the Pill, monster clarity, Braven 600, Jawbone to name a few and this one is the best by far. Its very loud and has good base. The base on the Bose is a bit better but this one is way more portable and half the price. Buy It, you won't be disappointing!!!
