I Bought A Box Full Of JBL Bluetooth Speakers

- This interesting eBay auction caught my eye, A lot of JBL speakers listed as melted and broken, To my surprise some just worked out of the box and many others only need very basic repair
In this video I check out the haul of JBL speakers and figure out what the condition is of each unit, Some remain in line to be put in a blowout video as I originally intended for this lot. Today I get all the talking out of the way on the subject - Enjoy! - บันเทิง
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
@@RealEpikCartfrenYT Imagine making such a comment without doing a second of actual research.
It's one more reason why I'd rather not get angry as my first response to anything.
@@cfothough never owned a jbl so how should I even know in the first place? My Bluetooth speaker was one of those $5 things before it died.
@@RealEpikCartfrenYT I had my jbl boombox 1 for 5 years and only had the change the battery once and it’s never had an issue with software. Also they are really good if u buy multiple it’s like the apple ecosystem for Bluetooth speakers expensive but built to last
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.
Yo
its the pulse 3
Which also explains why it has the holes the mount uses.
Yoo this is so nostalgic to me, I remember watching you like 12 years ago... Time flies 😢
Yea it does….I don’t really remember when I first started watching him but yea you’re right
I was like 6 when I started watching this.
But I am 8 now.
Those plulses are probally demo models🤔
That woukd also explain the screws on the back
And also why not all the buttons work I guess
Here before the jbl kids
I think the real issue is people leaving them on the charger wat longer than needed or never taking them off. Ive seen business owners leave them in places for years without unplugging them.
No, people just use more powerful PS, so they are blown.
However if they had good charge circuitry and batteries that would not be a problem
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
You could pull out the units and build a set of line array desktop speakers😂
Line arrays are the best though. Everything sounds like crap afterwards.
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
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!
Its not a lfm mode or any of that bullcrap. Its just a debug mode which removes all dsp and sounds like shit
i remember watching you when i was like 10 years old, glad you are still making videos all these years later!
Love the screensaver on your TV with the late Molly sleeping on the amp. Nice collection of JBLs!
For the 2 Xtreme 3’s, try plugging it with a universal computer charger (45 or 60w ; 19v, 3,4A)
You are darn close to the big 100k, Garret! Keep it up!
He already has 100k
@@tater6959 that comment was made 9 months ago, I saw him reach the big 100 a few weeks ago. Probs best to check the comment date before posting about it.
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!
Well if they weren't broken before, they sure are now with your butter fingers 😂
It's always amazing to see you uploading, Garrett! Sadly no speaker blowout in this video, but I'm sure they'll just be added alongside the Bose Acoustimass subwoofer, and the iMac speakers to create an awesome speaker blowout video!
haha for sure, for the jbl blowout I want it to be very fast paced so this video is the talking side of things
@@GarretClaridgeMeerkat Yeah this video is just for explaining and reviewing what you got in the speaker lot you bought, and seeing what works and what doesn't. But is that big blowout video coming sometime soon? If you want to keep it a secret, that's absolutely fine with me. Love your videos btw. Incredible content. And thanks to you and your awesome content, you got me into the audio world, and I absolutely LOVE audio ever since I found out about it through you. I have indeed subbed, and I'm a HUGE fan of you and the amazing stuff you do! Just want to say thank you! 😁
@GarretClaridgeMeerkat but jbl speakers cannot connect with mixer amplifier 😅 I can read passive radiators 😂
@@XDAVIDCHAOS He's gonna open them up and hook the speakers directly up to his amp(s).
How much did that entire box cost? Could you also tell me the EBAY user that you bought it from? If you dont mind.@@GarretClaridgeMeerkat
I used to watch your old destruction videos alot when i was younger. I'm so happy to see you still doing videos :D
That flip 4 isn't supposed to have the dust cap popped out like that. Probably happened when the battery went
R.I.P JBL flip 4
Those countertop JBL tablet style Google assistant devices are probably store display units and were never sold. Either they're in demo mode or they need to be flashed. I wonder if maybe those burnt ones got too close to a camp fire or maybe fell into a camp fire!
i wonder if they even have real webcams inside i wanted to find a webcam demo so bad, they would be cool basic email cheekers haha
YOU TURNED MY GOOGLE ASSISTANT 😂
What do you do with the JBLs afterwards?
HERE BEFORE THE JBL KIDS
hahaha right
Fr
What are jbl kids?
@@generalzod7959 usually kids from 9 to 13 years old that post "jbl bass test" videos of their crappy bluetooth speakers playing random bass boosted music, which is not a problem, the real problem is, they think those portable jbl speakers are the best speakers ever made and they will make sure to tell everyone about it like its the second coming of jesus, when in reality those are disposable speakers meant to be thrown away after a couple of years and they have a very mediocre sound quality
my jbl speaker stopped charging after like a year
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.
hate when companies like JBL, and apple force you to use their chargers.
@@lukeson8934it’s not forcing you to use their charger, you just have to use the right type of charger. Just like a device that uses micro USB can’t be charged using USB type C.
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.
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!
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.
I have a jbl partybox 300 and what a beautiful bit of kit honestly
Yeah PA will do that. Got 2 sets of huge Peavey speakers and they blow me away. Makes all the small Bluetooth speakers seem dull.
I wouldn't trust any of those speakers. Those batteries are supposed to have protection against overcharging.
Thank you for opening up those JBL’s. I have a flip5 and a Xtreme2 and wondered what they looked like. Didn’t want to open them up because they work and sound great!!! Have had them for a couple of years.
I have a JBL charge 3 that I got since release and I still use it everyday sounds nice and super convenient to take with me these should also have a link button and they should be able to wirelessly connect to eachother
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!
The ones that are drilled out were likely Retail demo units.
That's a nice score! You could definitely profit off of some of that hardware. I'm surprised you got a decent amount of working speakers. They all could have been broken. Looking forward to the blowouts!
this is why i subscribed, your content is still good till this day, been watching you since your first speaker smash party
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
Hi Garret! The reason why the xtreme 3 didn't charged bc the type-c port is for service it has a 12V charging adapter or something like that
Wrong they fazed out dc jack and placed usb c charging due to fans moaning about past extreme models having dc jack
Cheers Garret, are those Klipsch Tangent T-30 in the back?
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.
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 was checking your channel like every day was so pumped for this video!
Lol my google assistant went off watching this 😂😂.
This Pulse 3 is just blocked up. You need to plug into the charge and hold the buttons Power & Bluetooth for 10s.
Where do you buy all of this
The bbc extreme 😂😂
you here?
Yeah
Gonna be epic seeing all those speaker blow outs! Crazy how much of a fire hazard those things are...
1 of my friends went thru 2 of those things in a year. One of them almost caught fire and then the other one started expanding from the battery. I would recommend getting the Oontz angle 3 instead it's a pretty good speaker for cheap
I bought the JBL flip six. It sounds pretty nice! Review coming soon!
Only for pop music, on rock or electronic - they suck.
@@mykyta_go5hko what is your suggestion for a better small speaker that can fit in the palm of your hand?
@@godisgoodatht All Flips are bad. I have Flip 4 GG with metal cone drivers and Flip 5 wich i wanna to throw away. I use an old speaker - Charge 2. It is old, but sounds powerful and amazing. I also use my Charge 3 GG.
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.
I’m surprised about how did you get them all
Those speakers with the drill holes are display units, and usually get permanently attached to a store shelf.
How much did that entire box cost? I would really love some of those especially the amp! Those are really nice Ive been looking for a nice box of JBLS.
Also do you mind to tell me the EBAY user that auctioned these?
Not worth the money JBL is junk save up for a good Bluetooth speaker
lol hooking up all those little things at once with the crazy wiring was awesome
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...
Most of the speakers are going to be a Regent surround system. I’ll possibly include the subwoofer if I can find it.
Please use the cs 800 to blow them if you still have that amp
That amp already broken
Sometimes JBL batteries sound like bombs
You almost have 100k subscribers, that's amazing!
Garret, your channel defined my childhood and Im so happy to see you are still alive and thriving here on TH-cam, and in general. Lifelong fan, here to stay. -Nick
do you sell them if so where do you do the same on
Just realized it he is almost to 100k let’s goooooo he definitely deserves it loved the video btw 😀
The one perfect flip 4 was working but the startup sound was turned off in the app
Oh damn I've already hard wired it to bypass the amp 😒
@@GarretClaridgeMeerkat but you can still use the amp for other projects
Let the jbl die smoke
man thats a good deal!!! those extreme 3s are worth some money for even parts!!!!!!
For such sound they costs any cent, Xtreme 2 or Xtreme sounds really better.
They look pretty nice. Kinda shaped like coffee cups. 😋
The legend is back🎉
Welcome Back Garret. Another Blowout JBL speaker
Nice to see you again pal!
where i can buy a similary box fully a jbl speakers?
anyone notice the dog hahahahahha
Those pulse speakers were mounted on a store display, those are the holes those mounts use.
I have a Flip 4, I bought it in 2017, it still works, original battery, great battery life still, although the speakers are making weird sounds at low frequencies, so I'm planning to upgrade to a Flip 6
That's the battery starting to go more then likely .
@@blairwilliams136 It's only coming from the left speaker, so it's a speaker issue
That’s the battery my flip 4 did the same and I got a new battery. I have a lot of jbl speakers and the old ones have poor battery’s
aliexpress has the exact drivers to most big bluetooth speakers and many better ones too but for reselling them these prolly great
Hi Garrett Claridge. Can you test the SONY GRX80 please?
Molly😢. I had to put my 14 year old Chihuahua down for kidney failure. I didn’t want her suffering. It was the best thing to do based on the suggestions of my vet.
The pulse 3 was just in lock mode if it’s turned off all the buttons work
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.
In the jbl app you can turn off the start up sound on the flip 4
The pulse speakers are in usb only playback mode. To turn this off and use them as normal, conenct them to usb and hold bluetooth+play
I can’t wait to watch those speakers BURN and all the little kids get mad😂
same
Did you destroy your monitor
Ooohhh boy! The legend is back!
It was so cool win those came out with waterproof USB-C ports like the flip five
How do you spell when wrong
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
Interesting how most of these things work yet
The master blaster at it again 😃✌🏿let’s go!!!!😀😀😀
of some jbls theres lfm mode and it adds extra bass if you hold bluetooth button and minus button
It doesnt add extra bass. It just disables all dsp and makes the speaker sound like shit.
Im tired of all the lfm bullshit
@@theloudspeakernerd-tlsn9322 flip 5 really supports lfm
@@randomguy46465i didnt i just say that there is no lfm
Boa tarde amigo é show de testes de som e alto falante valeu 👍😁
Ain't no one talking about the cute cat in the beginning?
Very nice score! Great to see you 😎🤩
I wanna know where the heck you find all them JBLs just in a box 😂
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.
I love your content never stop uploading 🔥
The JBL flip made the same sound as my harman/kardon onyx studio 2 on off and connected!😊😏
jbl pulse are not broken but are in demo mode, then you can only play music with power supply and via the audio jack plug
I see your videos since i'm 7 years old man... I'm 20 and still watching some ♡
I've never seen Charge 3 without JBL Connect knob
Because it's a Charge essential
The pulse speakers look like they were display units so that must be why they only light up.
The big jbl had low frequency mode I think you HOLD DOWN VOLUME DOWN AND BLUETOOTH FOR 10 SECONDS WHILE PLAYING MUSIC AND the speaker has to be charging when in the mode
I love your vision wached them since I was 6
Garrett for thoese TVs try cleaning the touch screens really well. Sometimes even small contaninents can cause touchscreens to malfunction.
i love jbl content and your vids
Yessss!!! Another GC blowout video!
For the two speakers with the screw holes, I am pretty sure they’re there because they were stolen from like a Walmart/Tmobile type store and the screws were used for mounting same with the ones with the screen they seem to be in store demo mode
