JBL Charge 3 Waterproof Portable Speaker

I am conflicted on the review for this product, and will explain why. I am somewhat familiar with JBL products I was in the market for a small but powerful speaker I was moments away from ordering the Bose mini II for $199 When this was suggested as an item ... I was looking for outdoor use.. what better for outdoor than this special edition JBL Charge 3 Waterproof check, though and cool nylon design check, hinges for carrying straps check???? for $140 - $25 gift card I had? Well.... Sold!!! While the speaker arrived I bought some cool guitar carrying strap with camo on it to add to my new JBL... So it comes and I unbox it... Funny the picture on the box does not have the hinges... needless to say I was beyond disappointed I unpacked the speaker only to find out the only thing about this special edition is just the Camo not the hinges.... This is no way portable on it's own, for outdoor activities like hiking or trailing. This is more for a BBQ or pool where the speaker will not be in constant movement. I tried to make the best of it, turned it on and the speaker is loud but did not measure to the Bose I would have ordered in it's place... weight wise its heavy to throw in a back pack or something. Had I known this I would have ordered the JBL FLIP 4 which does have a built it strap and more portable for my needs ... Sound is loud but lacked rich base in my opinion. I used it for a good 10 minutes before I contacted seller for a return... which I had to pay shipping back >( (Whom ever posted this product pictures owes me $35 back for next day shipping for false advertising) I ended up returning the strap I bought just for this speaker, such an inconvenience that could have been avoided by using correct stock pictures!! For now I'm still in the market for a good small waterproof speaker with rich base... Note, I am not blaming JBL in fact, I now have the JBL Xtreme with the straps... of course that does not come with me hiking due to size. Again this is not a special edition with Hinges the picture on this item DOES NOT belong to the JBL Charge 3 So while my review on this is swayed by poor experience in purchase I was not impressed with the audio honestly.
