I got two of these speakers factory renewed. They came packed in plain boxes with complete packing and the accessory recharging cables. They charged up well and worked right away. There is a bit of a learning curve to the JBL controls, and instructions are sketchy at best, even on the JBL web site. But there are many YouTube videos explaining details and operation. The sound quality is really good with ample but appropriate clean sounding bass. I've connected wired and with Bluetooth and quality is great. For music, like from SiriusXM, I can have one speaker connected wired, with the other on Bluetooth from there. I'm still experimenting and there is a setting for stereo where one speaker is Right channel only and the other Left. I'm satisfied that both of these speakers are working to full capacity and I found no flaws at all. There is no indication of previous use visible, they were both very clean and looking like new. One thing to note, when using with our outdoor TV, the Bluetooth audio is just slightly delayed so that it's not in lip synch when people are talking, and this can also happen occasionally when wired too, which I don't understand, but I did find some methods to correct online and they work. Both speakers are pretty quick to set themselves up on Bluetooth and start playing, and volume is individually controlled on the speakers for balancing. You can apparently connect a large number of these JBL speakers (over 100) to cover a large outdoor area. Two was sufficient for our deck area and I can grab on to go to the other side of the house to an outdoor seating area and the Bluetooth worked flawlessly. I haven't tested range but it's better than most I have used. I have killed soundbars using them outdoors and other wired solutions are limited and there's a lot of work to run wires. I can use by the hot tub or the outdoor shower and not be concerned about water as they are not going to be damaged by water. These JBL speakers can be placed anywhere and changed around at any time to suit your needs and particularly for the price I have no reservations in recommending them.
