JBL Clip 3 waterproof bluetooth speaker, front view.
There are a few ways to adjust volume on JBL Clip 3 speaker. These depend on the app(s) you’re playing from mostly. Many apps provide volume adjustment controls. But this JBL speaker itself has two buttons for volume control as well. Find these (the + and -) buttons on its top side. Note though, that you cannot set volume with the JBL Connect app.
You can adjust the volume without using any apps, doing it this way, as follows.
Firstly, here are three buttons in this single row. These include the Volume DOWN (-), Play / Pause, and Volume UP (+) buttons.
So press the (-) button to lower volume. You can also press the (+) button to raise volume.
You can change the volume by saying commands to Siri when you pair with an iOS device. However, you first need to get Siri’s attention. Wake her up by pressing and holding the home button on your device until you hear the Siri prompt sound. Then, you can set the loudness of the content playing on the speaker as follows. Speak to your device; not the speaker when saying these commands.
Next is an example of giving Siri a voice command to set the volume to half (50 percent).
Next is an example of Siri responding to a voice command to set the volume to FULL (100 percent).
Siri currently understands one scale for volume adjustment: 0-100 percent. Example commands follow. Say these after you’ve pressed the Play / Pause to wake her up.
There are also shortcut commands for minimum and maximum volume setting, as in:
You can also adjust volume with the controls on the paired device as well. Furthermore, you can do the same with paired Android devices.
But we find that volume adjustments on the speaker do not change the volume setting on our Samsung Galaxy phone. In fact, for this phone, the speaker volume buttons seem to adjust the amplifiers on the speaker. But not the phone volume. In fact, we hear distortion in the speaker, with its volume at half. Also the phone volume is at full (100 percent). So, beware of this to avoid “over driving” the JBL speaker.
In this demo though, we play YouTube content on our iPad Air tablet. Then we stream it to the JBL Clip 3.
Then start streaming an internet radio station, a song from youTube or Spotify, or an Audible book. In this demo, we streamed YouTube audio.
Note that the volume change you hear on the speakerlags by a half-second or so. Why? Because of the latency (delay) of the commands going across the Bluetooth airwaves.
So we don’t cover here how to set volume for specific apps. Thus we leave all that for you to learn.
