Bright lights
Prepare to be dazzled. 64 LED lights live inside the JBL Pulse Bluetooth portable speaker. Start streaming music from your compatible smartphone or tablet, and a light show begins! The Pulse's light array comes with five pre-programmed patterns that change in pulse in time with your music, but that's just the start. With the free JBL MusicFlow app, you can adjust the intensity of the lights, and even download new patterns.
Big sound
Inside the Pulse are two 1-1/2" full-range drivers that deliver clean, clear sound, with a bass port that reinforces the low tones. Thanks to JBL's advanced digital signal processing, the Pulse can produce rich, full sound despite its compact design.
Tap-to-pair with NFC
The Pulse also has NFC (Near Field Communication). Just touch a compatible portable device — such as a smartphone or tablet — to the system for instant wireless pairing. Then with one touch you can play music, or stream audio from videos and games through the Pulse. All without wires and without logging into a network.
Hours of fun
The Pulse's built-in chargeable battery delivers up to 5 hours of music and lights (or up to 10 hours of just music). The system comes with a USB adapter and mini USB charging cable. An auxiliary input lets you play non-Bluetooth portable devices through the system, too.
