Only when I have reached the distance of approximately 200 meters (650 feet) from the nearest building, the Samsung Smart TV disappeared and light-show on the JBL Pulse 2 stopped. While the distance between me and the nearest building was around 100 meters (330 feet), the Samsung Smart TV was still under available devices in the phones’ bluetooth settings and JBL Pulse 2 was still flashing LEDs like a Christmas tree. So I went, with my phone in one hand and JBL Pulse 2 in the other. The next best option, apart from going door to door and kindly asking every resident in the building if they posses the mentioned Samsung Smart TV and would be willing to turn it off, was taking the speaker as far away from this potential interference as possible. The issue was I couldn’t turn it off, to confirm my hypothesis, since I didn’t have access to it. Unfortunately the issue was still present.Īfter searching for other nearby bluetooth devices that could possibly interfere with the JBL Pulse 2, one particular device seem to be present in the bluetooth settings on every search – a Samsung Smart TV (Series 5). I started the process of elimination by turning off all of the nearby bluetooth devices one by one and in the end, even the wireless router. This has lead me to the conclusion that there is some interference coming from a nearby device that uses the same radio frequency for communication. While investigating the issue further, I have noticed that the fault is less apparent when the speaker is held in hand. Upon discovering that the issue is still present after the speaker re-assembly, I was puzzled. When I have first encountered the above mentioned behaviour on a JBL Pulse 2 speaker, my first thought was that the flex cable, connecting the button control board to the main board, wasn’t fully seated in the connector, during the speaker assembly.
