Who is the JBL Charge 3 suitable for?

You get the JBL Charge 3 if you like to be outside and have a sturdy companion for the next festival or vacation needs. The size and weight, while moderate, still require some pocket or backpack space. Of course, the Charge 3 from JBL is also suitable for indoor use.
