Pros & Cons
Pros
Best bang for your buck in my opinion for bluetooth speakers. I still have my original 1st gen jambox that was $300 over 10 years ago.
My only downfall is i can’t get another one to sync it to. But it cranks! Super battery. Just a bit bulky but comes with a carrying strap.
Bought for my sportster. The normal price seems a bit pricey, but then again a fastfood meal for two is over $20 now.
The bass is so deep, crisp and powerful for a speaker this size. There is a full bass mode that makes it sound better, and the app helps adjust high mids and lows. Free eq adjustments make a significant improvement in sound depth. Great for audible bo... Read More
Cons
Doesn't sound much better than the charge 5. Double the price and almost the same loudness. Compared to the sony xp500, which is the same price, this thing is pathetic.

I can not pair with the old charge 3 which i think is stupid.
I’d say save your money and buy the gen 1 xtreme cause you’re not missing out on a lot with the latest xtreme 3.
Packaging/appearance
A few weeks in, the battery wasn't holding a charge, so because it was still in the 30-day timeframe, i sent it back as defective.
Competitiveness
In a sea of music players, this one stands out above the competition.
Im definitely keeping it but totally planning on doing more research to get what im truly looking for in a protable bluetooth speaker.

I havent performed a full charge to full discharge battery performance test

However since placing the unit into service it has required charging about every two to three days

As far as portability is concerned it is indeed portable but a bit too large to be packing up in a suitcase if i was traveling via airplane
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
A speaker the size of the jbl charge would be more appropriate
