In the era of bluetooth speaker proliferation, design and tuning have been in a relatively mature stage, and gradually they all break through in terms of functionality. JBL Charage3 seems to be the product of this model. Charge3 describes the highlights of the mobile charging waterproof design in JD Mall. Locate Bluetooth speakers that are biased towards outdoor sports.
JBL's consistent packaging design pattern for thousands of years shows the outline and features of the product on the outer packaging box. Charge3 uses the gift box packaging of the hard paper box, giving people a higher loading component. The packaging box is stronger and more compressive. In the era of this courier brother's violence, such packaging is still very necessary, and it is very effective in reducing the risk of product being damaged by extrusion.
In addition to the two-dimensional code anti-counterfeiting labels, there is also a transparent disposable label at the sealing area to prevent unpacking. However, this transparent disposable label is too common, and it is not difficult to tear off and re-stick, and it feels that there is no laser label to be more reliable.
Did you find out that there were a few sisters out of the box, considered a kind of welfare? Better than a blank, then lost.
Speaker accessories, but also the oldest kind: charger, manual, link line. The charger is also detachable, and the cable is Android MicroUSB cable. From the point of view of development, it will soon be replaced with the Type-C interface.
Charge3's overall shape design is similar to Charge2, with a slight difference in details. The main body is covered with a waterproof woven cloth, and the waterproof woven cloth covers more than 90%. With the translucent rubber, the overall appearance is still pretty. At this point, doing something stronger than BOSE, Bose SoundLink Mini Bluetooth speaker design is too calm, lack of fashion.
Bluetooth speaker control buttons, there are so few, more concise, at a glance. Both sides are woofers of the diaphragm, the diaphragm on the CD spiral pattern with JBL's LOGO. This is a characteristic design of the JBL Bluetooth speaker. Pressing the metal cover from one side, the other side will also move, guessing that the interior of the Bluetooth speaker like JBL is sealed. Perhaps this will produce a more powerful bass effect.
The bottom of the silicone, played a very good anti-slip effect. Silicone cover the bottom of the indicator light to protect the power indicator light will not enter the water. The speaker interface is also located at the bottom, AUX interface, MicroUSB, USB interface, the outer layer of the interface also has a silicone module protection.
This design makes this Bluetooth speaker fully waterproof, waterproof level up to IPX7, even if the speaker dropped to completely immersed in water will also have problems, but completely immersed in the water will not be able to sound ah. As for why. . . No reason. . . Is the sauce purple ah. . .
In addition to the waterproof capability, this speaker has a more practical function. It is a bi-directional output of the battery. In addition to the battery of the speaker, it can also supply power to external devices, such as charging the mobile phone. Traveling with this speaker can take one less mobile power.
Now that the Bluetooth transmission technology is relatively mature, compatibility and stability are no longer a problem, and 100, 200 small speakers can do this very well. Charge3 is more than a lever of outdoor transmission distance can be up to 15 meters away.
However, for the speakers, of course, the sound quality is the most important, currently on the market in addition to JBL, there are more well-known to be a SONY and BOSE, the two tuning style is more biased towards the bass. In particular, BOSE Bass is the biggest feature, while JBL's sound style is biased towards equilibrium, with both middle and high notes.
The overall sound style of Charge3 is biased towards balance. The proportion of three frequencies is more coordinated, the mid-frequency is slightly more prominent, the overall sound density and atmosphere are good, and the sound is more natural. The vocals are not thin and thick, and they are slightly forward. Emotional expressions are more in place and listening to pop is very comfortable. The treble part of the brightness is good but also, but the analytical power of the instrument details is rich, bass is like, not bad, not to mention outstanding, dive is not deep enough, elasticity is not very ideal, there is so hard, Awkward. I feel that the bass of many speakers is now this style. I prefer the feel of the bass of the old XM500. It feels very flexible and very comfortable. I miss it!
to sum up:
advantage:
IPX7 waterproof rating, this comparison to the force, if out of the water out of the outdoor picnic accidentally, do not have to worry about fishing out can be used, will not be damaged.
Two-way battery power supply, can be used as a mobile power supply, you can not go out with a mobile power supply, you can reduce the burden of taking the same thing.
The appearance is acceptable and the sound quality is good.
Disadvantages:
This speaker lacks an automatic sleep function. If the power is not turned off, it will not shut off automatically until the battery is exhausted. It is better to add the smart power saving function. If there is no audio signal for more than 30 seconds, it will be automatically turned off.
Although the overall sound is not bad, the elasticity in the bass is still not soft enough. The disadvantage is the feeling of bombing cotton.
Overall, regardless of the design or workmanship details are considered worthy of the price, worth considering to start one of the thousand-class Bluetooth speaker, if you encounter promotions, the price is relatively high.
