Say you’re looking for a reliable portable speaker to bring your favorite party tunes to the swim deck, top deck, or beach while you’re out on the houseboat. It’d be nice if the sound was powerful enough to carry to everyone there, of course. And it has to be waterproof, seeing as you’re on the lake. It’d be nice if it could charge your other devices without a hiccup, too. If we’re being picky, we might as well add that it should be a Bluetooth speaker.
Well, the JBL Charge 3 has all that and more. The real question is, what can't it do? (Well, okay, it can't make you cookies or give you CPR or fly or anything. Stop being sassy.) This high-powered portable Bluetooth speaker gives off impressive stereo sound and acts as your 6000mAH power bank to boot, charging smartphones and tablets via USB output or playing 20 straight hours of playtime. The speakerphone has built-in noise and echo-cancelling properties, enabling you to take calls with a touch of a button, and can wirelessly connect up to three smartphones or tablets and take turn playing whatever songs you like. Perhaps most importantly of all, because its IPX7 waterproof you can submerge this bad boy in water and it’ll come out no worse for wear. The JBL Charge 3 comes with a $149.95 and the promise of guaranteed good times to come, especially if music is your jam.
