Quote from SergioS6710 :
Not sure if non wifi will pair with wifi version,. I know they use 2 completely different apps
WiFi version is blue tooth and WiFi . They will pair. I believe they use the same app. You don't need an app to pair anyway. There's a button you hit on the speaker that connects them.

I got this at $399 a few weeks ago from my local Costco. It was nagging at me that I dropped $400 on a speaker so I ended up returning it. $200 seems like a more justifiable price. Sorry, I am no audiophile but this sounded great…just couldn't justify the price in my head

I called a Costco by me and they had eight available. When I got to the store, someone had already bought seven and left one. It was $199. Too bad I couldn't get a second one. This was in IL. lake zurich Costco. The rest around me are $299.

If you buy this, dont be the jerk that brings it to the beach or park and make others listen to your crap "music". Although those who do this are not Costco demographics

The Harman Kardon Go Play 3 is a much better speaker when on sale.

This JBL BB3 has a sound signature that's annoying. It's garrish sounding (regardless of EQ'ing). Not even close in balanced sound to the Go Play 3 as mentioned in this thread already.

For $200, it's a decent pool/beach speaker. But when you start comparing it to other superior speakers, you may want to pay more. The new BB4 is MARKEDLY better than the BB3. Look at Youtube comparison vids. Its bass is substantially improved!

The wifi vs bluetooth comparison did not impress either. This speaker isn't resolving enough to make the wifi=better sound an argument worth having.

If you're going to get a JBL, then get the Party Box. Much better sounding than the BB3! Again, check out Youtube vids to get a general idea, though do note that the YT compression gives just a weak impression of the sound. You really need to listen to them IN your house when comparing!

Yes, they were available last night, that is my Costco. I'm glad they're gone. It prevented me from buying one. Doesn't look like there's anything close except low stock in Naperville, which I don't consider close.

Quote from Ponder :
Most prefer the Olvu's settings/firmware. There is also a few minor changes from early designs to current production. So not quite sure if you maximized it's potential, but if you are happy that is great! So normally it imho requires a firmware update, but it is debatable.
That all happens automatically when you open the app, so who cares? We're not talking about hacking in a third-party firmware, here - Oluv's settings are included in the official firmware.

Can anyone tell me does Costco offer guest passes to try the store for a day? Or is there a deal currently on membership?
No they do not.
