The reason those flips you tried weren't making any noise is possibly because within the JBL app, you can turn off the feedback (power on/off/bt connect noises) so they don't make noises at you when they turn on

Imagine needing an app for a Bluetooth speaker that all you use for is to play music. It's one more reason why I'd just rather build my own than buy an overpriced speaker that relies on an app in order to function

@RealEpikCartfrenYT you don't NEED the app, it's optional, the speaker works out of the box without it. On the newer speakers it offers an EQ, Features like I mentioned above, and occasionally a firmware update, none of which is required to use the speaker

The JBL Pulse 4 is in Demo Mode, which basically locks it to only auxillary input and only will power on when plugged in. The only way to fix that is to hold down the Bluetooth and Play/Pause buttons for 10-15 seconds, then once they power off turn em back on.

Nah it’s not the old charge 3,flip 3,flip4 and xtreme 1s all have cheap batteries and poorly made matters they have fixed it with the new version my charge 3 battery expanded so I just brought a cheap one and it’s lasted longer

My guess on the larger tube style speakers is they were plugged in 24/7 and in use 24/7 in various hospitality environments. Restaurants, waiting rooms, hospitals, etc. And also places like automotive shops, home workshops.. Obviously, charging circuits and lithium batteries are not really meant to do that. Lol The ones with the screw holes in the side were probably wall mounted

glad to see you again garret as always. thats a pretty good score id say. some of the hardware in there could be worth something!

those are awesome speakers! I've thrown mini parties with them and the extreme 3 and the charge speakers are amazing, the pulse series is just beautiful, i wouldn't blow them up at all man good for a collection

Most JBL speakers have a low-frequency mode that disables the internal HPF. There's a button combo for each (volume down and Bluetooth button iirc). Have fun!

The ones that are drilled out were likely Retail demo units.

Good stuff. Good to see a new video.

The JBL Pulse speakers and those JBL View whatever tablet seem to be in store demo units. I remember trying to connect to one and all I was able to do was turn em on and reset but was only able to play the demo music. Basically those disable a bunch of features for demo purposes ofc. The tablets could most likely be reset but can't really say since I don't know much about them personally. Also fun fact for all the JBL's besides the Clip 3's, If you hold the Bluetooth and Volume Down button while it's on for 12 seconds or until the lights all come on, you can put them in Low Frequency Mode. It basically disable's the JBL's DSP stuff and plays all frequencies cleanly through the speakers so they can play like 5 Hz if you wanted it to lol.

Nice to see you again pal!

I freakin LOVE my Charge3, I thought the speakers were blown but it was a dead battery pack, replaced it for like $15 and good as new!

Got quite a few JBL speakers myself. For many of the models you can mute the statup and alert etc sounds in the app. For the extreme 3s. They dont actually charge over USB. They came with their own charger. And for the melted ones. To me anyway, that doesnt look like a battery fire. There wouldnt be much left of them if the battery did go up. Either they were left on something hot. Or else could be some sort of chemical reaction to something they were sitting on.

I been watching this dude for a long time

i love the screen smashing in the intro :P

hey garret! i have a question since i'm trying to get a hold of one myself, what "mixer" or "dj set" or whatever it's called do you have? or can you reccomend any that work with 3.5mm jacks. thank you!

Ooohhh boy! The legend is back!

Cant wait to see the blowout of some of these and also cant wait to see what you do with the link views

Those speakers with the drill holes are display units, and usually get permanently attached to a store shelf.

I bought a charge 5 full price because I wanted to see what all the fuss was online surrounding these things, I can say its a solid, relatively decent sounding, well built piece of kit. I personally feel I paid a bit much on the price to performance side of things but I think I also may just be spoiled with my JBL PA equipment from the 90s haha, 4 18s will do that to ya I presume lol.

Connect them all to a linux system and use parec and pacat to send the music to all at ones, you can sync them by using the buffer. Joke ;) Just blow them up.

I love your vision wached them since I was 6

you can do a reset for the ones that are lighting up the LEDs but not showing up in bluetooth or doing anything relevant, there are many tried methods, hold the power button for a lot of time, hold power + bluetooth, I don't remember which one works.

I wouldn't trust any of those speakers. Those batteries are supposed to have protection against overcharging.

Hope you get your hands on a Boombox (1 or 2) one day, these have a whole lot of excursion for woofers that small haha

For such sound they costs any cent, Xtreme 2 or Xtreme sounds really better.

90% of all burnt JBLs are because of people using LFM (Low Frequency Mode). LFM is made for the manufacturers to test if the speaker works properly.

Sometimes JBL batteries sound like bombs

Hi Garrett Claridge. Can you test the SONY GRX80 please?

Garrett if you see this just know you're the best

If there are screws on the speaker, means it was used as a demo unit prob, to hold down the speaker for stores and etc...

The JBL pulse speakers were probably store displays, looks like they were screwed down to a shelf. Someone else said they were in demo mode too.

Those Link Views definitely look like they're store display models. Not sure if they're running Android or some custom Linux OS though. If it's running Android then there's a chance you can get a normal launcher installed and use it like a networked media player.

Those pulse speakers were mounted on a store display, those are the holes those mounts use.

When will you be blowing them out? I’m genuinely excited

Garrett for thoese TVs try cleaning the touch screens really well. Sometimes even small contaninents can cause touchscreens to malfunction.
