Great speaker
I’ve had this speaker before a couple years ago but when my ex took it I just had to buy another because I fell in love with its sound, bass, and light show. Highly recommend to those who love listening to music around the house!

my favorite speaker
I was given this speaker a couple of years ago and i love it. i use it everyday, take it with me most places. it is water resistant (in the sense of being in a very steamy room and being touched with water every once in a while), and i have never had any issues with it. the charge is super long, the audio is really good, and the app makes the color and everything just kinda great. 10/10 recommend for a dark shower and the lights of the speaker lighting up the room too

Speaker stopped connecting
I only had this speaker for about two months before it completely wouldn’t connect to my phone anymore. I’ve tried everything; the factory reset, completely charging it, forgetting the device on my phone and tying to re-pair it, even restarting my phone as well. It won’t pair at all and every time I go to my bluetooth devices and try to select, it immediately says “out of range” or “pairing took too long”, even though my phone is right next to it. My speaker is just constantly stuck in pairing m...

Not a bad speaker, needs more lighting options
I recently bought the Pulse 4, and while I do like the outward look/appearance of the speaker i feel like something is missing, and think its missing in the JBL app. Seems to me the features are somewhat limited on it. When buying a speaker with lights and a price like these I want to be able to have significantly more control of lighting options. I believe the app gives only 4-5 options, that's not to say that the app isn't good, because it is good. Ability to operate and learn the app is quick...

One of my favorite purchases
I've had this speaker for nearly a year and I'm absolutely in love with it. Sound is incredible for the size and it has great bass (sometimes too great - have to set it on something soft so it doesn't vibrate the whole table). I bought it for the light show and use it all the time for the lights even when I'm not using the speaker. It gets toted around the house with me like a portable electronic lava lamp. It is a bit heavy and isn't as portable as some of JBL's other speakers, but that's the o...

Pulse is a complete Partybust!
The JBL Pulse “Partyboost” function is a complete joke. It often disconnects and transmits a high pitch feedback sound. It is way over priced for a small speaker with lights.

Mr
I got 2 of them for stereo. They are about 12 feet and can work with Stereo very good. But I had to buy 2 bluetooth and put left and right on each bluetooth and then it works. They don't work good to do stereo with out 2 bluetooth's. Junk.

Worked for about two years only, no support
My son saved up for this speaker.He loved it while it worked. After abut tow years, poer buttons and bluetooth buttons no lnger worked rendering it useless! Naturally, JBL/Harma said, it is not under warranty so they can' help. Said to take to a service center and pay for repairs! Horrible support, They don't' stand behind their products. They said "sorry but"....Never buy this form them. There are better products and companies that will stand behind their products, even after 1 Year.

Battery life kinda sucks!
Would Not RecommendWe used to have the JBL charge 2. My husband left it on the hood of his work truck right at the windshield and he drove off and it was never to be seen again. I don’t get upset about much but that one really got to me! That was the best speaker we have ever had. We were reluctant to get the pulse 4 simply because of the price. But we bit the bullet. It’s a great speaker with great sound quality but the battery life is terrible. Even when we turn off the light show, it dies quickly. The JBL charg...
