Frequency response is in the range of 65Hz-20,000Hz and there's a non-removable 6000mAh battery inside. There are three 40mm full-range drivers, which boast of a total output power of 20W. There's no easy connectivity option like NFC either.
#JBL PULSE 3 BLUETOOTH#
In terms of specifications, the Pulse 3 uses Bluetooth 4.2 but doesn't support any advanced codecs such as aptX and AAC. There's also a rubber flap to protect the 3.5mm audio input and Micro-USB charging port. All other customisations, including adjusting the brightness of the lights, has to be done through the JBL Connect app. The Pulse 3 uses its lights to show you the volume level, which is clever. Just like the Flip 4, the battery status LEDs only light up when you press any of the buttons at the back. The playback control and the Connect+ buttons aren't backlit but the rest are. The Bluetooth button lets you start the pairing process, the Connect+ button lets you pair multiple Pulse 3 speakers, and there's a dedicated button to change the light patterns. There's a power button accompanied by status LEDs which show you the charge level, and also play/ pause and volume buttons. The ports and buttons are placed around the back. You can use the Pulse 3 horizontally but it will roll around, so that isn't really recommended. Since the Pulse 3 is designed to stand upright, the bottom radiator was blocked when placed on any non-flat surface, such as a mattress. However, due to the lack of any protective covering, it's possible to damage these if you aren't careful. There are two exposed passive radiators at either end of the speaker, which vibrate to produce better bass.
The speaker is about the size of a 750ml water bottle, and it kind of looks like one too. Now, the Pulse 3 has done away with wire mesh completely, and instead, only the lower 30 percent of the speaker is fabric-covered, while the rest is an acrylic covering for the built-in lights. The Pulse 2 refined the design with a finer weave for the wire mesh, which made it look more elegant. The first Pulse speaker had a somewhat crude design and was quite average in terms of sound quality, considering the focus was on the LED light effects. Let's see if you should consider this one instead. 15,999, the Pulse 3 competes directly with Sony's SRS-XB40, which also has a light show feature of its own. With the third iteration of the Pulse, we finally get proper waterproofing and more powerful drivers for better sound.
#JBL PULSE 3 PORTABLE#
We recently reviewed the Flip 4 which was a compact portable speaker, and today, we have the Pulse 3 which is the third version of JBL's popular speaker with built-in lighting effects. JBL launched around two dozen new audio products in India about a month ago, many of which we first saw unveiled at this year's CES.
