5.0 out of 5 stars All the Bass
Reviewed in the United States on October 8, 2024
The Boombox 3 delivers a noticeably deeper bass compared to the Extreme & Boombox 2. Even though the frequency range is virtually the same and the signal to noise ratios are both >80dB between the Boombox designs, the Boombox 3 delivers a better overall consistent performance. The previous sound distortion of the Boombox2 is mitigated with a dedicated 7.4 x 4.5” sub which delivers a deeper low end punch and a well rounded mid-range. Although it doesn’t reach the same volume levels as the Boombox 2, it has much less distortion at maximum volume, resulting in far more crisp & clear audio when turned up to the maximum volume. The power is simply impressive as you seem to experience far more immersive sound range.

We purchased the Boombox 3 to take on our camping trips and to entertain guests during our backyard house parties. The last time we rented an AirBnB, it became an excellent resource for the power bank too. And it’s pretty stylish too; what a great looking device.

The verdict is that it’s a more robust speaker compared to most of the competition. From the new three way design of the speakers to the 180W output, the Boombox 3 is a choice upgrade on performance alone. The durability is what really sold us on it though. This speaker feels indestructible and with a dust & waterproof rating of IP67, it might as well be.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best speaker that I ever used

I bought this boombox to use in camp and it was INCREDIBLE! First of all the sound quality is amazing, I tried out some songs with strong bass some songs with complicated electric guitar sounds and it came out insanely good, like I could actually hear every detail of the instrument. Then the sound was also really loud especially when played indoors, it would fill every corner of the room with aound, and even outside you could hear it a long way off. And this is all in a speaker which is very easy to carry (also, i bought a strap to wear it separately, i would suggest that) and walk around with since it's relatively small compared to some of those huge speakers, and it has a nice handle to hold it with. I also hear that it was waterproof so I chucked it in the lake and it continued playing while deep under water, so I stuck my head under and was able to hear it under the water, but at one point it shut off due to a safety feature, and once I pulled it out of the water it continued playing. It also floats in the water, so you can let it chill in the water while playing music. It also has a pretty long battery life, it lasted me like 5 to 6 hours daily on full blast. It also has a usb charging port so you can charge your phone.
It is a little bulky and heavy compared to the small jbl speakers, but compared to the average speaker that has such sound capabilities, it is very easy to walk around with.
I would suggest anyone to buy this speaker if you are looking for a powerful and easily movable speaker!!!

This is a powerful sound system. Different from speakers, this can entertain the crowd. Using the JBL app, you can use the equalization to adjust the levels just right. The lows are outstanding. I am thinking of purchasing an additional speaker for the stereo effect. Played this system for hours and was surprised by the quality. Great purchase.

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.

I am a fan of JBL sounds and this thing delivers in a big way! It’s mostly used on the lake on our boat. Great sound and battery life! I gave it 4 stars because it is definitely on the heavy side. Otherwise it’s perfect!
