5.0 out of 5 stars Says Refurbished but was brand new
Reviewed in the United States on March 3, 2024
Holy moly!!! I have owned many bluetooth speakers. I mean MANY. I spent about a solid month watching EVERY video review of EVERY bluetooth speaker made to date. (3/2/24) I read every Google review I could possibly find. I had to find the absolute best bluetooth speaker under $600. That was my budget. I own very expensive headphones and listened to so many speakers on video reviews that used binaural microphones. I heard the new Harman kardon Go Play 3, the Bang and olufsen beolit 20, the Harman kardon Aurora 3, that weird swedish box one lol, all of the smart home speakers, the jbl authentics 300, absolutely EVERY boombox from all manufacturers, and I finally came to the conclusion that the one that fit my needs perfectly (sound quality, bass, battery life, build quality and price) was the Jbl boombox 3. I went back and forth about the wifi version and the just bluetooth one and decided that although wifi gives better sound quality, I needed the auxiliary 3.5mm input. That is because I own the firefly ldac bluetooth adapter and my phone does ldac so I would get the best bluetooth quality possible, and I own a decent dongle dac and wanted to be able to connect my phone with an otg cable to dac to 3.5mm cable to the auxiliary input and stream my Qobuz through USB Audio Player Pro. Well let me say, with the ldac adapter, this speaker BLOWS my mind in every way shape and form. And with the dac to aux through Qobuz, HOLY LORD IN THE HEAVENS ABOVE. 24 bit 96khz through this speaker has me never wanting to shut it off. Ever. I leave it plugged in most of the time to get the extra power but full blast is waaayyyy too much for my room. Even though at full volume there is zero distortion and insane sound quality. At normal listening levels it is such a pleasure. Beautiful sub bass, mid bass, mids and highs. So with all that said, please do yourself a favor and buy this speaker if it's in your budget. You will not regret it. I can assure you. Oh and no YouTube video does it any justice. You have to listen in person with Quality music through ldac bluetooth with an adapter, or wired with a dongle dac (Dragonfly cobalt) to the aux in with Qobuz or tidal or Amazon HD. I hope this helps. And this is not a paid review. Only my honest opinion.

5.0 out of 5 stars Chose Renewed to save $$$. Looks & functions brand spankin new!

Best Speaker Of It’s Kind Every. It’s in a class of its own in my opinion. Delivered on a Sunday. Right to my door 2 days earlier than expected! JBL Factory packaging. Everything crisp & new looking. Fired it right up & started slappin my favorite tracks. I could feel the deep bass off top instantly! All the way around… The High, Medium & Low output sounds are much more refined & aggressive compared to my trusty Boombox 2. It was so loud that for fear of getting a noise complaint at the my new apartment I opted to only go 3/4. That’s JBL BB 3’s sweet spot for the deepest & cleanest bass. Place speaker roughly 3 ft away from the inside corner of any wall to fully utilize every last sound wave this bass cannon has to offer. It’s was shaking my walls Ppl!! I am an instant party anywhere I take this thing. My only down side to this purchase is that I have to factor another JBL BB 3 into my budget so I can link them as Right & Left speakers for a full experience when I’m in movie watching mood. The initial cost is nothing in comparison to the years of valuable vibing memories w/this beast of a sound system in your life.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best BT speaker on the market....
Reviewed in the United States on May 19, 2024
The media could not be loaded.
 Heard one of these out at the Siesta Key Beach in FL. I was impressed with the bump, even though it was at a low volume. So I finally decided to purchase one for myself to take out jetsking with me. Well let me tell ya, this JBL thumps so good, sound quality is spot on. I mean zero distortion at full volume is very impressive. The look & finish is just as impressive. (I will say that it was a little heavier than I had expected though. A small price to pay for such good sound quality.) I could only imagine one or two more all linked together.... Trust me, you won't be disappointed in your purchase if you aquire thi JBL BoomBox. Happy bumping cause as Marley said..... WERE JAMMING

5.0 out of 5 stars It’s not new??
Reviewed in the United States on May 26, 2024
So happy with my purchase. Came like it would have been new and I saved some money. This speaker is amazing and you would never know it wasn’t new. All packaging was in tact and the felt like I purchased it new. It’s bigger than I thought (my fault for not seeing in person prior) but once you set it up, I fell in love with the sound. Download the app to set up the sound to your liking. 100% would buy again!

4.0 out of 5 stars Great sound but not worth the $$$
Reviewed in the United States on March 25, 2024
First, I love JBL/Harmon products. This sounds great, great bass, but its not loud enough for the price tag.

I am returning it and getting the Harmon Onyx Studio 8 for $250 less with same great sound cuz they are the same company! 72 Watts JBL Boom 3 vs 50 Watts Onyx 8... for the small difference in watts but big difference in price it is worth returning for Onyx Studio 8. I can buy 2 Studio 8s and still have pocket change left over and a lot more sound

5.0 out of 5 stars Speaker be Slappin
Reviewed in the United States on May 30, 2024
This speaker makes all the bangers go that much harder . The base slaps and you just feel like you’re there at that artists concert . The battery seems to last a pretty long time too . I really love this speaker . It charges fast as well . Since it’s portable I can take my music anywhere in the house.

1.0 out of 5 stars Parts missing/loose, have to pay $90 for return, 2hr battery, bass distorts easily
Reviewed in the United States on August 22, 2023
I like the sound on this one more than the others I'm testing. However, it came missing the end trim and speaker face. It looks like it was broke off then poorly repacked as it was not in the cardboard mount and just floating in a box with no other packing.

The bass distorts about 1/3 volume even when using the app to lower the bass frequencies but sounds great below that.

There was not a replacement trim or speaker available and replacement of the boombox is not available so I have to return and buy another. Return shipping was over $90 due to size and weight with proper packing.

It looks like I have to pay for return shipping. My expense for the defect. Not a way to maintain a business relationship in my opinion.
