After reaching for the PlayUp box and going through the manuals, I decided that I need to part with the speaker and get a new one. I even reached JBL to get some insights into the problem and if they can help me solve it but their customer service directed me to Nokia :).
I needed to say farewell to it since for some reason it was still connecting to my phone by simply taping to the NFC area, and I could control the sound and everything, but the speaker wasn’t giving sound. I remember that Nokia 5800XM had the same battery so, in a case of a party, I would have 2 batteries and approximately a 20 hours of play time.īut, all that is good needs to come to an end and that is what happened with my cyan PlayUp speaker. I also loved it since it was portable and I could swap its 1430mAh battery with many others I had at home. However, if you check the specs, and it had output of just 3 Watts but JBL did some 360 sound radiating acoustics magic which made me love this speaker.
JBL CHARGE 5 CASE DRIVERS
This speaker had three drivers and a passive subwoofer system that was able to create an incredibly rich and powerful tone that would fill up your room as a more powerful setup. That is why they partnered with JBL to make Play 360 a year before and Nokia PlayUp a year after. This speaker was introduced in 2012 (actually at IFA 2012) to follow Nokia’s latest Windows Phone-powered Lumia series, and Nokia was eager to follow their smartphones with audio accessories of excellent quality. Well, you might wonder why didn’t I get a better and more powerful stereo system, but when you get married, you’ll know. For the past ten years, the primary source of audio at my home was the trusty Nokia PlayUp portable BT speaker.
