Bluetooth speakers like JBL, Sony and Bose are tough, but water, dust and pairing glitches can still cause problems. Start with the connection, then clean.
No sound or cutting out
- Turn the speaker and Bluetooth off and on.
- Forget the speaker in your phone’s Bluetooth list and pair again.
- Move closer and remove obstacles between the phone and speaker.
- Make sure no other phone is connected to the speaker.
- Charge the speaker fully.
Muffled after water
Many outdoor speakers are water resistant. Water can still sit behind the grille. Connect the speaker and play our Water Eject tone at medium-high volume, with the speaker facing down. Let it dry completely before charging.
Dusty or sandy speaker
Run the Dust Cleaner through the speaker, then brush the grille gently. For fabric grilles, use a lint roller.
Test both drivers
Use the Left & Right Speaker Test and the Bass Test to check that both drivers and the bass radiator work.
When to replace
- Rattling at every volume
- Battery no longer holds a charge
- Visible tears in the driver
