I put the JBL Pulse 3 in a sink full of water and YES IT IS WATERPROOF. It floats !
**Update 2/20/18**
Unboxing
========================
-Wow opening this bluetooth speaker is like going into a party.
-Really great packaging
-Neat and very well organized
Pairing/Controls/Range
========================
-Pairing was very easy and fast. I dont think i need to explain much about bluetooth pairing
-Theres a input for an aux cord but the JBL Pulse 3 didnt come with a aux cord
-The play button can be used for speaker phone or voice assistance. Its voice assistance on whatever phone you have.
-The infinite button is for connecting other JBL speakers. I dont know how it works because this is my first JBL. But the manual says the JBL pulse 3 has to be playing music and the other JBL should be on. When you press the infinite button it should start to play the same music.
-The light button has 8 light modes. Wave , rainbow,Camp fire, fireworks , equalizer , rave , jet and your own customize light that you can make on the app.
-The range is pretty far that i can bring my phone around the house with me and still have the speakers connected and playing without any connection cutting off.
Sound Quality
========================
-Great , amazing sound quality.
-Very clear and crisp with balanced bass .
-You can set the sound on your equalizer and itll still be clear and crisp.
-I knew it would be a great speaker when it started up.
JBL App
========================
-The app works great for me.
-It tells you the percentage of battery your speaker has.
-You can customize the lights color, make your own light show.
-You can switch the play button into a voice assistant or just a regular play/pause
-When i downloaded the app it had me download a firmware to upgrade my speaker. I dont know what it did to the speaker but it upgraded it.
Overall
========================
-Great lightshow !
-Portable and has long lasting battery. 6 hours if its with the lights on, and 12 hours without the lights
-If you have kids that need a night light and calming music , i would suggest this
**Update 2/21/18**
-This JBL Speaker is 20 watts

Usually, I like to buy brands like Anker and others that are known to produce high quality without charging a lot, but, I picked up one of these (at the shockingly full price of $300, yikes!) and was very pleased, so came here looking for another one to try the paired performance and found it for less than half of what I paid! Should've started with Amazon, I guess, but I was excited to try the pairing and it certainly did not disappoint.
Many "big brand" speakers honestly don't seem worth the big price tags, next to smaller, much more affordable brands that have mastered or even improved on similar tech, so this was one of my few "bigger name" buys in terms of speakers, and I have to say, at the price here on Amazon at least, this felt worth it, compared to cheaper buys I've made over the years. The sound is truly full and rich and rewarding. I like these 360 degree set-ups, which do produce a bigger sound than front facing types, and these speakers really fill up a room, especially paired, although even one is impressive and worth the asking price here.
Why not five stars? Well, as others have noted, the app is quite buggy, and is really surprisingly limited, considering the selling point of the light show. While it is very cool that you can literally pick any color, by aiming your camera at any object (and the speaker will do a decent job to "match" that color in its light display) the gimmick element fails to impress with the limits of what the app can do. One should be able to specify or choose the displayed range of colors, for example, as well as have more pattern options and set up paired speakers individually or in unison.
It seems not unreasonable that there should be far more options for the light show, and the app itself should not be so temperamental. Often, the two speakers will fail to do as asked, and it takes repeated tries, which is frustrating. Once set up, it works fine, and, with some effort, you can get the same light show on each speaker, but they really seem to make it far more difficult than it needs to be, due to producing a pretty disappointing app.
At this price point, with a main selling feature of the lights (and most of the speaker size dedicated to the lights) one would think JBL could have hired some decent app developers, and made the light show feature really worth something, instead of just a somewhat boring side note. Not that the light show is awful, but it's just very basic, which seems odd for a lighted speaker and is a let down in terms of what was hoped for.
So, not five stars, just four, because of that disappointment, but, from a sound perspective, this is great, and paying more has definitely yielded superior performance and I'll certainly consider JBL for future purchases, knowing that the sound quality here is worth paying more.
Bluetooth connection is quick and easy, and speaker operation is also simple, and pairing two of them, from the speakers, works well, although, as I say, the app often loses the speakers, or can't find them, or has a hard time adjusting to stereo or party settings. Battery life is less than many speakers have today, but is long enough for most purposes and it will operate while being charged, so no complaints in that area. I did buy a case for each of my speakers, and I'd recommend it, since these feel like they could suffer damage rather easily.
Definitely hope JBL will improve on the light show factor. Otherwise, seems a bit pointless and not worth adding extra cost for not doing much with that element. And, the light show bit also makes these seem more fragile, given that, if dropped, I'm pretty sure the plastic housing (which is most of the speaker area) would easily crack, as just mentioned above.
I do recommend this, but with the caveat that you do know the app and light display elements are a bit disappointing, depending on expectations. The sound, however, is what counts and that side of things is a big win. I just wish now I'd paid for a cheaper JBL that didn't have the light show, but still had the great sound factor.
As a basic lighted speaker, they are cool to have on display, but why JBL did such a poor job on the app and available options is certainly a mystery, given the marketing of this product.
Hope this helps in your shopping. Thanks for reading! :)

So after using it for a couple of days, I can surely say it's the best. The body is sturdy and not that fragile as it appears to be. The video uploaded is currently playing at around 30% volume

No other product in market can beat this 3D light effect. If you need only a good sound performance with good bass then this is not the best product. But the Pulse 3 definitely beats the prev generation pulse in all terms.
You need to update to the latest firmware, otherwise you'll face frequent disconnection while playing.
Anyone seeing this speaker will surely fall in love with it.

Set up easy.
Haven’t tested for waterpriofness yet.


Wasserdicht ist die Box, schwimmen kann sie auch.
Das Mikrofon funktioniert, man kann telefonieren und Siri aufrufen.
Die 8 Lichteffekte kann man nicht im Hintergrund verwenden, denn sie sind zu hektisch, um sie im Hintergrund laufen zu haben, da schaut man dann immer wieder hin weil man was aufblitzen sieht aber um die die ganze Zeit anzusehen sind sie recht schnell langweilig, weil sie quasi keine großen Abwechslungen haben. Natürlich muss man auch sagen dass die Effekte und Lichter wesentlich fortschrittlicher sind als alles was die Konkurrenz bei ihren Lautsprechern bietet. Da sind das meist einzelne Licht Bänder die immer nur in einer oder 2 Farben leuchten oder einzelne LEDs blinken.
Man kann über die App die Helligkeit einstellen, bringt aber nicht viel, weil es auf hellster Stufe nicht hell genug für draußen und auf dunkelster Stufe zu hell für drinnen im Dunkeln ist. Also sind die Effekte nur drinnen tagsüber oder nur draußen nachts wirklich benutzbar, schränkt das ganze schonmal ein. Das Plexiglas wirkt sehr zerbrechlich, an den Strand kann man die bestimmt nicht mitnehmen, dann zerkratzt das bestimmt und wenn sie irgendwo mal runterfällt geht die Box bestimmt kaputt.
Die Akkulaufzeit ist schrecklich, bei normaler Zimmer Lautstärke komme ich bestimmt auf nur 5-6,5 Stunden, das ist echt kacke, die led Anzeige funktioniert auch nicht vernünftig. Die gibt 4-5 Stunden lang an, voll geladen zu sein und geht danach in cirka 20 Minuten schritten runter, dann beschwert sich die Box und schaltet sich aus.
Ich höre nicht oft sehr laut aber wenn ist sie gar nicht so schlecht, aber auf leisen Lautstärken klingt sie echt komplett bassarm, als hätte sie über keinen Bass, nur leichtes hohles geklopfe vom oberen Bass. Klar, sie hat 3 Membrane mit 4cm Durchmesser, das ist die Größe von hochtönern, ist ja klar dass dann kein Bass kommt, da helfen die ungeschützten passivmebrane auch nicht weiter. Die Höhen und stimmen sind aber recht gut, die Klingen nicht bedeckt. Aber trotzdem hört sich die Box für mich dünner als als ein jbl flip Modell, bei dem Startpreis von 250€ sollte m.M.n weit mehr an Klang drin sein, da bekommt man ganz andere Geräte von der Konkurrenz. Selbst aus dem eigenen Hause bspw jbl xtreme 2. oder hk go+play für circa 220€. Natürlich ist die Box aber auch wesentlich kleiner als eben genannte und wenn man sich ein Video ansieht, wo die Box mal auseinandergenommen wird, sieht man, dass die Box sehr viel Technik auf kleinem Platz verbaut hat.
Dennoch:
Die Box hält sich sehr unangenehm in der Hand, viel zu groß um die mit einer Hand tragen zu können, da braucht man schon beide Hände für. Vor allem wenn sie nass ist, dann ist das Glas nämlich glatt wie ein nasses Stück Seife, was vor allem bei der so instabil wirkenden Glas Hülle unglücklich ist. Zubehör ist ok, ein Kabel mit steckdosenadapter. Verpackung ist schick gemacht.
Wenn man 2 Stück davon hat, kann man schon was damit anfangen, vor allem wenn die Lichter synchron laufen, aber das war mir dann doch nicht so viel Geld wert. Naja, meine Box war nicht perfekt zusammengebaut und der genannte Steckdosenadapter der aufgelistet ist auf der Verpackung hat gefehlt. Das heißt ich konnte nur über den handystecker laden und hatte Angst, dass die Box bei Wasser kaputt geht, schließlich hatte sie optisch sichtbare Fehler. Vielleicht n montagsprodukt. Ging zurück.
Vielleicht kann der Nachfolger mehr.
Nachtrag:
Ich konnte irgendwie nicht die Finger davon lassen und habe jetzt den Nachfolger Pulse 4, weil kleiner, mehr LEDs, schicker und andere lichtmodi, die besser im Hintergrund agieren und beruhigender sind. Der Klang ist ähnlich, allerdings gefällt mir der Bass beim neuen besser. Natürlich ist der auch ne Ecke teurer.
