Yes Borat, it's a good price and these are original.
Couldn't disagree more with the above comment about sound quality. I was a professional audio engineer and musician for several years, and I'm very picky about these things. The JBL Charge 3 was the last model produced with separate L/R drivers. The Charge 4 is a mono speaker – it has one driver – so you need two of them paired in stereo mode to get any separation. Same for the Charge 5.

I own three of these Charge 3 speakers. Two of them I bought years ago, and one I bought three months ago. Had to jump through some hoops updating the firmware on the new one so that it now works with Connect + and the other two speakers.
It's a good speaker. Lasts about 18-24 hours on a full charge at medium volume (which I think is pretty loud). Havent tested its waterproof capabilities but I have used it in my garage for several years and it's held up very well. Wish it had USB C though - uses MicroUSB.

Not sure why the TD
1. some prefer older model feature set

2. most resellers discount forgeries,
(including many resold on amazon)
which typically have poor batteries.

Possibly but probably not. They originally shipped with JBL Connect to connect a pair as dual stereo or dedicated left and right for a stereo pair. Later models have Connect+ to allow linking up to 100 devices but they are not backward compatible with Connect. There was a later firmware update for the Charge 3 that upgrades it to Connect+. If these ship with the new firmware, they will not be compatible with the older Connect devices.

I have this one from a while ago.

It has a microphone to let you take calls on bluetooth as a speaker phone. I believe with charge 4 they dropped the microphone from it. So its nice if you wanted to take a call while you were playing it or to just talk while doing dishes or cooking ect.

Same here. Decent speaker. Survived Ida -- I live in a flood zone. Used it in my old car as the music and phone calls speaker, bluetooth to my phone.

Can't remember, but feels like this is the price I paid ~ 3 years ago.

Pretty good deal on a brand new Charge 3. The 3 sounds pretty good, like the rest of the Charge series, but my favorite, as far as sound quality goes, is still the Charge 2+.
