SoundLink III

I have the SoundLink III and the device randomly shuts off on me now. I thought it was just a bluetooth issue but was happening with aux even after trying to reset it.

For mine, if I turn it back on within 30-40 seconds, it'll automatically shut back off. Then the volume resets to zero.

Can speak for current production but my Bose Soundlink III is going on at least 12 years.  Maybe more.

I've been using a Bose SoundLink III for around a decade now. Obviously can't buy new anymore so marketplace is your only option. Amazing sound quality, gets quite loud, very easy to set up a connection and once that is done, the bluetooth connection is near instant once speaker is turned on. Very simple design and it's built well (it has even accidentally fallen to the bottom of my pool one time, pulled it out, kept playing and has had no issues). Battery is quite easily replaceable and each charge lasts for a while. Only good things to say about it. They seem to hold their value on the used marketplace though.

Yeah I have a JBL Charge 3 that I've had since 2019, we used it as outdoor sound in a restaurant for 3 years, so was in use every day in that period. Just fixed the charging port that was getting worn out, but the battery is still strong. Also have a 10 year + Bose SoundLink 3 that I wheel out when I want quality sound, I'm using it sparingly as I know the battery can't last forever but the sound quality is soooo good.

Same. I just turn it back on and it works but anyone know a fix for this?

Lol I’ve got a sound link 3 that’s also going strong. Amazing. I’ve really liked my wonderboom for a lightweight and easy one. Had it for around 6 years and works great.
