Full details
The JLab JBuds Party Speaker is designed for users who want powerful, clear sound on the go without a heavy burden. Its key benefit is delivering 30 watts of dynamic audio with customizable EQ and vibrant RGB lighting, all within a portable, splash-proof design.

This portable Bluetooth speaker features dual 2.5" drivers and 2" passive woofers for impressive bass, over 12 hours of playtime, and the ability to connect up to 100 JLab Party speakers via LabSync for a massive audio experience. It also offers stereo pairing and is controlled via the JLab App for personalized sound and lighting.

Troubleshooting
Speaker won't turn on
Ensure the speaker is charged. Connect it to the charger and wait a few minutes before attempting to power it on again. Check if the charging cable and adapter are working correctly.
Cannot pair with Bluetooth device
Make sure the speaker is in pairing mode (Bluetooth light flashing). Turn off and on Bluetooth on your device and try again. Move the speaker closer to your device and ensure no other devices are actively connected.
No sound or low volume
Check that the volume is turned up on both the speaker and your connected device. Ensure you are connected to the correct Bluetooth device. Try playing audio from a different app or source.
Poor sound quality or distortion
Reduce the volume slightly on both the speaker and your device. Ensure the speaker is not placed directly against a surface that could cause rattling. Check for firmware updates via the JLab App.
LabSync not connecting multiple speakers
