Last updated
JBL Portable tunes speakers from the phone. EQ presets with custom curves, PartyBoost stereo groups, light shows, and firmware state live in the app per paired speaker. The speaker keeps the running config.
That makes the app the editor with hardware as backup number two. Exact behaviors may vary by version. Grouped speakers share one EQ; tune the pair as a unit. Bass boost suits parties only. Firmware notes list fixes. Multipoint pairs phones. Stereo pairs need matching models. Powerbank ports charge phones.
