Why is the JBL speaker flashing red? (all models)

Author Stepan Maistrov Reading 4 min Views 4. 2k. Posted by 09/02/2022

Since its founding over seventy years ago, JBL has been a leader in audio equipment, including Bluetooth speakers. JBL offers a wide range of speakers to suit every budget and sound need. Whether you’re looking for a small portable sound system like the JBL Go 2 that you can take with you anywhere, or a huge sound box like the JBL Boombox for your events, JBL has you covered.

When shopping for a reliable yet portable speaker, JBL is one of the brands to look out for. I have good experience with JBL speakers. Some examples of JBL speakers that I have personal experience with include the JBL Go 2, JBL Flip 5, JBL Charge 4, and the premium JBL Boombox 2.

However, one common JBL feature is the LED indicator light. This is a small status indicator used to indicate the various states and actions the speaker is performing. Ever wondered why your JBL speaker is flashing red? In this article, we will learn more about this and the LED indicator.

Causes

The JBL column flashing red indicates a low battery level. This can vary from one model to another, but it usually indicates that your speaker needs to be charged. The intensity and frequency of LED blinking will be different for each JBL model.

Here are more examples:

• JBL Charge 3 flashes red. According to the instructions, when the JBL Charge 3 flashes red, it means that the battery is low and needs to be charged. When the indicator turns solid blue, it means that your speaker’s battery is fully charged and should be disconnected from the power source. A full charge of the JBL Charge 3 Bluetooth speaker takes about three and a half hours.
• JBL Go 2 is one of JBL’s compact and portable Bluetooth speakers. There is only one LED on the front panel which indicates the status. The JBL Go 2 LED will flash red when the battery is low. When connected to the power supply, it will glow red continuously and then turn off when it is fully charged.
• JBL Flip 3 – consists of five LED indicators or dots that show the battery level. If the speaker is charging, one of the LED dots will flash to show the battery level and charging status. When the battery is fully charged, all LEDs will be on without blinking. When fully charged and the speaker is turned off, all LEDs turn off. The JBL Flip 3 speaker will flash red at the first LED dot to indicate that it needs to be charged.

Why the charging indicator is important

It is very inconvenient to charge the speaker every hour. Consider what would happen if your speaker ran out of power after two or three songs. Thus, battery life is an important consideration when buying a portable speaker. That’s why all JBL models come with an LED indicator and sometimes a voice command that notifies you when the battery is low.

You expect your Bluetooth speaker to last about 24 hours, but this depends on the type of batteries you use and the care you take when charging the battery. Smaller speakers have small batteries and will charge intermittently, such as after about an hour or two.

Although larger batteries may have longer playback times and can last all day, the lifespan determines the battery life of the speaker, also known as the average battery life. A speaker, for example, can quickly drain a battery, regardless of battery size, due to speaker volume, as it will require more current in the process, shortening battery life. Make sure you use the speaker until it is completely discharged, as this will shorten battery life in the long run.

In order to avoid a complete discharge of the battery, they are designed to indicate this with a flashing red LED. This will alert you to the right time to charge the battery without affecting its overall life.

A USB port is also available on all JBL portable speakers for charging and connecting to the mains. If you use your JBL Bluetooth speakers outdoors more often, you won’t be able to carry the adapter and cable with you at all times. As a result, USB ports come in handy because they allow you to connect the speaker to a power bank, making it even more convenient. If an outlet is not available, plug it into any device to charge your JBL speaker. But always make sure that the power supply has the recommended voltage.

For use almost a year! Bought as a gift for my husband’s birthday in bright red! Thanks to the bright color, the column is easy to find. The speaker is not large in size, it is convenient to take it with you and does not take up much space in your bag, it is also convenient to hold it in your hand. Despite the fact that it is small, it has a very loud, clear sound and good bass, it is very pleasant to listen to. The design of the column is also pleasing to the eye. The case is rubberized. The charge holds well, enough for a day of active listening! It is also a very big plus that the column has protection against water, since we take it with us all the time to nature, to the country! With jbl, listening to music and watching movies has become a pleasure! Price justifies expectations! After a year of active use, it is still like new.

Very loud speaker for its size, I took it as a birthday gift, the guy really liked the speaker. The charge is enough for the whole day, easily finds the phone via bluetooth, convenient connection. I liked that there is a backlight for the charge buttons, bluetooth and on / off, it helps a lot in the dark, and also that it is possible to connect another of the same speaker for more surround sound. In comparison with other brands of speakers of the same indicators that we have already tried to use, this one clearly wins, it has a fairly high-quality sound and bass.

Despite the fact that it is small, it has a very loud, clear sound and good bass, it is very pleasant to listen to. The design of the column is also pleasing to the eye. The case is rubberized. The charge holds well, enough for a day of active listening! It is also a very big plus that the column has protection against water, since we take it with us all the time to nature, to the country! With jbl, listening to music and watching movies has become a pleasure! Price justifies expectations! After a year of active use, it is still like new.

Advantages

Very loud speaker for its size, I took it as a birthday gift, the guy really liked the speaker. The charge is enough for the whole day, easily finds the phone via bluetooth, convenient connection. I liked that there is a backlight for the charge buttons, bluetooth and on / off, it helps a lot in the dark, and also that it is possible to connect another of the same speaker for more surround sound. In comparison with other brands of speakers of the same indicators that we have already tried to use, this one clearly wins, it has a fairly high-quality sound and bass.

Why is the JBL speaker flashing red? (all models)

Author Stepan Maistrov Reading 4 min Views 4.2k. Posted by 09/02/2022

Since its founding over seventy years ago, JBL has been a leader in audio equipment, including Bluetooth speakers. JBL offers a wide range of speakers to suit every budget and sound need. Whether you’re looking for a small portable sound system like the JBL Go 2 that you can take with you anywhere, or a huge sound box like the JBL Boombox for your events, JBL has you covered.

When shopping for a reliable yet portable speaker, JBL is one of the brands to look out for. I have good experience with JBL speakers. Some examples of JBL speakers that I have personal experience with include the JBL Go 2, JBL Flip 5, JBL Charge 4, and the premium JBL Boombox 2.

However, one common JBL feature is the LED indicator light. This is a small status indicator used to indicate the various states and actions the speaker is performing. Ever wondered why your JBL speaker is flashing red? In this article, we will learn more about this and the LED indicator.

Causes

The JBL column flashing red indicates a low battery level. This can vary from one model to another, but it usually indicates that your speaker needs to be charged. The intensity and frequency of LED blinking will be different for each JBL model.

Here are more examples:

• JBL Charge 3 flashes red. According to the instructions, when the JBL Charge 3 flashes red, it means that the battery is low and needs to be charged. When the indicator turns solid blue, it means that your speaker’s battery is fully charged and should be disconnected from the power source. A full charge of the JBL Charge 3 Bluetooth speaker takes about three and a half hours.
• JBL Go 2 is one of JBL’s compact and portable Bluetooth speakers. There is only one LED on the front panel which indicates the status. The JBL Go 2 LED will flash red when the battery is low. When connected to the power supply, it will glow red continuously and then turn off when it is fully charged.
• JBL Flip 3 – consists of five LED indicators or dots that show the battery level. If the speaker is charging, one of the LED dots will flash to show the battery level and charging status. When the battery is fully charged, all LEDs will be on without blinking. When fully charged and the speaker is turned off, all LEDs turn off. The JBL Flip 3 speaker will flash red at the first LED dot to indicate that it needs to be charged.

Why the charging indicator is important

It is very inconvenient to charge the speaker every hour. Consider what would happen if your speaker ran out of power after two or three songs. Thus, battery life is an important consideration when buying a portable speaker. That’s why all JBL models come with an LED indicator and sometimes a voice command that notifies you when the battery is low.

You expect your Bluetooth speaker to last about 24 hours, but this depends on the type of batteries you use and the care you take when charging the battery. Smaller speakers have small batteries and will charge intermittently, such as after about an hour or two.

Although larger batteries may have longer playback times and can last all day, the lifespan determines the battery life of the speaker, also known as the average battery life. A speaker, for example, can quickly drain a battery, regardless of battery size, due to speaker volume, as it will require more current in the process, shortening battery life. Make sure you use the speaker until it is completely discharged, as this will shorten battery life in the long run.

In order to avoid a complete discharge of the battery, they are designed to indicate this with a flashing red LED. This will alert you to the right time to charge the battery without affecting its overall life.

A USB port is also available on all JBL portable speakers for charging and connecting to the mains. If you use your JBL Bluetooth speakers outdoors more often, you won’t be able to carry the adapter and cable with you at all times. As a result, USB ports come in handy because they allow you to connect the speaker to a power bank, making it even more convenient. If an outlet is not available, plug it into any device to charge your JBL speaker. But always make sure that the power supply has the recommended voltage.

Why is the JBL speaker flashing red? (all models)

Author Stepan Maistrov Reading 4 min Views 4.2k. Posted by 09/02/2022

Since its founding over seventy years ago, JBL has been a leader in audio equipment, including Bluetooth speakers. JBL offers a wide range of speakers to suit every budget and sound need. Whether you’re looking for a small portable sound system like the JBL Go 2 that you can take with you anywhere, or a huge sound box like the JBL Boombox for your events, JBL has you covered.

When shopping for a reliable yet portable speaker, JBL is one of the brands to look out for. I have good experience with JBL speakers. Some examples of JBL speakers that I have personal experience with include the JBL Go 2, JBL Flip 5, JBL Charge 4, and the premium JBL Boombox 2.

However, one common JBL feature is the LED indicator light. This is a small status indicator used to indicate the various states and actions the speaker is performing. Ever wondered why your JBL speaker is flashing red? In this article, we will learn more about this and the LED indicator.

Causes

The JBL column flashing red indicates a low battery level. This can vary from one model to another, but it usually indicates that your speaker needs to be charged. The intensity and frequency of LED blinking will be different for each JBL model.

Here are more examples:

• JBL Charge 3 flashes red. According to the instructions, when the JBL Charge 3 flashes red, it means that the battery is low and needs to be charged. When the indicator turns solid blue, it means that your speaker’s battery is fully charged and should be disconnected from the power source. A full charge of the JBL Charge 3 Bluetooth speaker takes about three and a half hours.
• JBL Go 2 is one of JBL’s compact and portable Bluetooth speakers. There is only one LED on the front panel which indicates the status. The JBL Go 2 LED will flash red when the battery is low. When connected to the power supply, it will glow red continuously and then turn off when it is fully charged.
• JBL Flip 3 – consists of five LED indicators or dots that show the battery level. If the speaker is charging, one of the LED dots will flash to show the battery level and charging status. When the battery is fully charged, all LEDs will be on without blinking. When fully charged and the speaker is turned off, all LEDs turn off. The JBL Flip 3 speaker will flash red at the first LED dot to indicate that it needs to be charged.

Why the charging indicator is important

It is very inconvenient to charge the speaker every hour. Consider what would happen if your speaker ran out of power after two or three songs. Thus, battery life is an important consideration when buying a portable speaker. That’s why all JBL models come with an LED indicator and sometimes a voice command that notifies you when the battery is low.

You expect your Bluetooth speaker to last about 24 hours, but this depends on the type of batteries you use and the care you take when charging the battery. Smaller speakers have small batteries and will charge intermittently, such as after about an hour or two.

Although larger batteries may have longer playback times and can last all day, the lifespan determines the battery life of the speaker, also known as the average battery life. A speaker, for example, can quickly drain a battery, regardless of battery size, due to speaker volume, as it will require more current in the process, shortening battery life. Make sure you use the speaker until it is completely discharged, as this will shorten battery life in the long run.

In order to avoid a complete discharge of the battery, they are designed to indicate this with a flashing red LED. This will alert you to the right time to charge the battery without affecting its overall life.

A USB port is also available on all JBL portable speakers for charging and connecting to the mains. If you use your JBL Bluetooth speakers outdoors more often, you won’t be able to carry the adapter and cable with you at all times. As a result, USB ports come in handy because they allow you to connect the speaker to a power bank, making it even more convenient. If an outlet is not available, plug it into any device to charge your JBL speaker. But always make sure that the power supply has the recommended voltage.

Not very convenient power button

Comment

For use almost a year! Bought as a gift for my husband’s birthday in bright red! Thanks to the bright color, the column is easy to find. The speaker is not large in size, it is convenient to take it with you and does not take up much space in your bag, it is also convenient to hold it in your hand. Despite the fact that it is small, it has a very loud, clear sound and good bass, it is very pleasant to listen to. The design of the column is also pleasing to the eye. The case is rubberized. The charge holds well, enough for a day of active listening! It is also a very big plus that the column has protection against water, since we take it with us all the time to nature, to the country! With jbl, listening to music and watching movies has become a pleasure! Price justifies expectations! After a year of active use, it is still like new.

Very loud speaker for its size, I took it as a birthday gift, the guy really liked the speaker. The charge is enough for the whole day, easily finds the phone via bluetooth, convenient connection. I liked that there is a backlight for the charge buttons, bluetooth and on / off, it helps a lot in the dark, and also that it is possible to connect another of the same speaker for more surround sound. In comparison with other brands of speakers of the same indicators that we have already tried to use, this one clearly wins, it has a fairly high-quality sound and bass.
We have not noticed any shortcomings in use yet!)

Beats Pill review: Mini Bluetooth speaker with some pop

In recent months I’ve reviewed several compact, portable Bluetooth speakers and the list of Jawbone Jambox competitors just keeps growing. One of the higher-profile entries in the field is the $199 Beats by Dr. Dre Pill, which, needless to say, looks like a pill — the capsule kind, anyway.

While it wasn’t without a few glitches, its striking design, strong sound for its size, and some extra features, such as tap-to-pair NFC (for smartphones like the Samsung Galaxy S3 that support near-field communication), an audio output, and Apt-X technology, help set it apart, though it is overpriced.

Design
Overall, I found the 10.9-ounce Pill, which comes in three colors (black, red, white) to be one of the better-designed mini portable Bluetooth speakers out there. It’s slightly bigger and heavier than the Jambox and I liked its cylindrical shape — it fits nicely in hand. The product ships with a quality carrying case and the Pill stows away in your luggage or backpack easily enough. It’s a little bulky for laptop bags, though it’ll fit fine so long as you’re not toting around too much stuff the way I typically do.

Available in black, red, or white, the speaker comes packaged like a pill. Sarah Tew/CNET

Not surprisingly, the bottom of the unit is rubberized to help keep it from moving around when you crank the volume and fire up a bass-heavy track. In my tests, it stayed in one place even at higher volumes.

The Pill has a total of 4 drivers and plays loud for its compact size. Sarah Tew/CNET

Features
As noted, the Pill has a couple of extra features. Like the Jambox and the Jabra Solemate, it has a built-in speakerphone. If a call comes in while you’re streaming music to the speaker, you can hit the “B” button on the front of the speaker to take the call and the music will pause.

The speaker has both an audio input and an output. Its built-in rechargeable battery charges via USB. Sarah Tew/CNET

The aforementioned tap-to-pair NFC feature, which I tried with a Samsung Galaxy S3, sounds better than it really is because it only saves you a few seconds of setup time, if that.

As for the Apt-X technology, it’s supposed to enhance audio fidelity, but I personally had trouble telling the difference in sound quality when I streamed from the Apt-X-enabled Galaxy S3 and the iPhone 4S, which doesn’t have Apt-X.

The final feature worth highlighting is the Pill’s connectivity. It charges via USB and has both an audio input and an audio output. Most of these little portable speakers have an input for connecting non-Bluetooth devices, so no biggie there. But the audio output is kind of interesting. It allows you to connect the speaker to AV receiver or amp and stream audio wirelessly from your computer or mobile device to the Pill, which then outputs sound to your home audio system. In other words, the Pill can be used as a pass-through Bluetooth receiver. I’m not sure how many people will bother with this feature since this is first and foremost a mobile speaker. But it may appeal to some folks.

The speaker up close. Sarah Tew/CNET

Performance
From a sound standpoint, the Pill is comparatively quite decent. It plays very loud for its size — it can fill a small room with sound — and offers relatively detailed sound (notice the use of the word “relatively”) with respectable bass compared with other tiny speakers in its class. You can augment that bass a bit by moving the speaker closer to a wall or place it in a corner so you get some reflection.

I compared it with both the Jawbone Jambox and the Jabra Solemate and it offered slightly better sound than both. It was clearer and had tighter bass than the Solemate and played louder than the Jambox with less distortion at higher volumes. Speakerphone performance was also good.

Despite that praise, the Pill does have its limitations. By that I mean it just doesn’t have the dynamic range of larger speakers, so it will roll off the low end (read: flatten it out) and like a lot of these small speakers it’s strongest in the midrange, so it comes out sounding best with lighter fare and acoustical material.

I should also point out that while this is designated as a stereo speaker, since the drivers are so close together you get little to no stereo separation, though the speaker’s onboard digital processing does its best to make you think the speaker sounds more open and spacious. I got the best sound by sitting 2 to 3 feet away from it and it serves as a perfectly capable laptop or desktop speaker. I also thought it sounded good with movies; I paired it with an iPad Mini and a Samsung Galaxy Note 2.

Battery life was decent, not great. I got around 6 hours at modest volume levels. You can do better at lower volumes or worse if you really crank the speaker.

The one performance strike I found against the speaker was that it occasionally cut out on me when I was using it with the iPhone 4S. While I got the occasional Bluetooth hiccup using it with a couple of Android devices, it completely disconnected on me a few times with the iPhone 4S and the connection was generally unstable. I reset my phone and it got a little better, but I still ran into problems. I think this is due to a glitch in iOS 6 where Apple upgraded its Bluetooth profile to the latest version and possibly created a Bluetooth bug so to speak (manufacturers may be forced to upgrade their firmware). Hopefully, this issue will be addressed with a firmware upgrade, or perhaps an iOS upgrade.

Conclusion
The Pill has a lot going for, but also some drawbacks. The Pill has an impressive design, sounds a bit better than certain competing products, has a strong feature set, and its accompanying carrying case is nice. However, I did encounter some hiccups during playback with my iPhone 4S. That’s could very well be an Apple’s software issue (it worked fine with a Samsung Galaxy S3), so I’m not ready to blame Beats. But it was still a little disconcerting.

Ultimately, my bigger gripe is that it’s overpriced at $199.99. Since the Pill came out, plenty of new mini Bluetooth speakers have hit the market, and such products as the JBL FLip at half the price are much better deals. Also, the $199 UE Boom is a superior product, with significantly better sound, a water-resistant design, and better battery life.

So while I still like the Pill, I just don’t think I’d pay $199 for it.

Editor’s note: When it was first reviewed, the Beats Pill received a score of 3.5 stars. But with new products hitting the market that offer better performance for the money, we’ve lowered the rating to 3 stars.

Yulia Timokhina, a mother of a 6-year-old daughter from Tyumen, does not treat a cold and SARS in a child with the help of medicines prescribed by doctors in a clinic. She is also against traditional medicine and remedies with unproven effectiveness. Why? Read in the author’s column Tyumen. Further – from the first person.

Once again, I go to the children’s clinic and take my daughter to the emergency room. I know perfectly well that she will now be prescribed antiviral drugs, told to spray down her throat and drink cough pills. But I still lead, although I will throw out the appointment sheet later. Why am I doing this? Because inspection is something I can’t do myself. But everyone can “read medicines”. This will be discussed.

For some reason, it is customary for us, in case of any deviations from the norm (in our opinion), to run to the pharmacy and buy “what helped the neighbor”. Especially we love antiviral and homeopathy. And nominate too. Every time I leave the pediatrician with a list that contains Arbidol, Ergoferon or Kagocel. And I don’t blame the doctor because that’s how they were taught. But now I just turn my head on: I won’t have medicines with unproven effectiveness at home. Do you read the entire instructions before giving the coveted pill to your child? Just get into the habit and a whole new world will open up for you. Yes, you probably know yourself that most of these drugs are used only in the CIS countries, and in the rest – under a strict ban. And how we like to prescribe antibiotics for SARS (even without tests)! Feel free to remind such a doctor at least about resistance and a blood test. Or my favorite “drink vitamins” – and again without tests. But at the next appointment they triumphantly declare: “You see how it helped you!” And you just sit and think: I didn’t give anything from the list.

The situation is the same with relatives who “know better”. There, badger fat, and garlic in the ass, and rubbing with vodka, and even oil for burns are already in use. I try to never argue, it’s easier for me to say: “Okay.” And then, when the child recovers without the help of folk remedies, the same victorious look.

“But it helped me” is generally a separate group of people who, for example, believe in the miraculous effect of granules with liver extract of a non-existent duck. I was always surprised: is it really not a pity to spend a lot of money on drugs whose effectiveness is a placebo effect and nothing more (yes, you just have to look at the instructions and figure it out). With the same success, you can drink tea with lemon and honey: both cheaper and more beneficial. Yes, and you may have noticed that with medicines we get sick for a week, and without them – 7 days. This, of course, does not apply to serious health problems.

I am not treating my child. I try to make him comfortable. Humidify the air at home, rinse your nose with saline, walk, if there is no temperature, where there are no people, eat right. That’s the whole “secret”. I understand that it’s easier to buy half a pharmacy to satisfy my anxiety, they say, I’m doing something. But it is much more pleasant to understand what exactly you are doing and why. Do not be ill!
