Best speaker I own extreme sound
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love my xtreme 3 speaker the sound is top notch and I love that I can also charge my phone with it. Easy to connect to my phone and I highly recommend.
Great Speaker
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] JBL Xtreme 3 I just got The New JBL Xtreme 3 Speaker I really like this speaker, the way it looks and even better the way it sounds. .. Looks : I am impressed by the way that the new JBL logo Looks in front of it , a well done logo.. .. Nice Rubber / silicon lines under the speaker , they give it a better grip on all surfaces.. .. Side bumpers at first they do look a bit weird.. But my guess is that they are there for more protection in case we drop the speaker.. also , i noticed that if you put the speaker in a vertical way , those bumpers give the unit more space for the sound to come out and the driver won’t suffocate.. .. Holding Strap : also has some rubber / silicone lines on it for better grip , and to prevent from slipping / sliding.. .. Charging Port : I really like that this speaker comes with a Type - C charging cable option.. if for some reason the battery dies when i am out and about , i can use my Cellphone cable to charge it.. very good idea JBL team.. .. No Aux connection input in this particular speaker.. .. Sound : The JBL Xtreme speaker lineup has been very popular for their sound quality.. and this one is no exception.. the sound is great , very loud and impressive.. .. Battery fife : it is very good , up to 10 hrs at high volume, and about 15 hrs at reasonable volume.. Overall this is another Well made / Great sound Speaker from JBL ...
Don't go down the Refurb Route
Don't get me wrong the speaker is great but stupidly for the sake of £20 bought a refurbed one, not impressed to be honest, speaker not in protective bag, strap missing, charger just thrown in and the instruction's crumpled up in the bottom of the box where the speaker had been wedged in. Clearly not checked by anyone at JBL to be honest not really in great condition either, scratches everywhere on the logo and dirt in both ends, but it still sounds good but wish I had paid full price and got a brand new one !!

One of the best portable speakers
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been using this speaker for close to two weeks now. It came shipped in a very well packed Jbl box. Upon opening I was presented with the well packaged Extreme 3 speaker and all of the accessories. It’s always a treat when you open an item from JBL. The presentation upon opening these products made by this company are some of the best. The speaker itself feels very sturdy and very well constructed. It includes the charging cable and a carrying strap which has a very thoughtful bottle opener on it. Great touch and idea in my opinion. The strap was fairly easy to put on and makes carrying the speaker fairly easy and lite. After charging the speaker I synced it to my iPhone. This speaker has Bluetooth 5.1. It connected right away with no issues. The speaker has great presence and has a very full, warm sound. I was in my basement and could still hear and slightly feel the music when I went upstairs for a quick drink, leaving the speaker downstairs and still playing music at about 40 percent volume. I played all different genres of music through the speaker and really enjoyed the sound quality. Playing some salsa music, you could hear all the instruments fluidly. Nothing overbearing or muffled. Clear and crisp without any hints of distortion. Very impressive at all volumes. I played some hip hop and r&b music and again it was very impressive. I then tried some test tones from an audio track which does sweeps of lower and higher end notes. The speaker has two small woofers which are 2.75” as well as two small tweeters. The speaker was able to produce lows with some authority which is very surprising and impressive for its size. Not bone shattering but you can hear and feel the low notes. It played the mids very well and had great highs. It is a very warm blend of the entire frequency range. if you load this speaker up by placing it in a corner you will get more low and midrange output out of it. I tried it in my bathroom on a tiled floor and this speaker slams! It does get loud! I then tried the speaker outside. I have a very big yard and live on a busy street. I had the speaker positioned on the floor, about 25 feet away from where I was washing my car. I could hear it just fine over the traffic and noise from the hose from me washing my car. I also had a few kids trying to scream over the speaker but the extreme 3 one that battle. I felt very confident bringing this speaker outside. It’s sturdy craftsmanship makes it feel like it can take some abuse. A few falls and maybe an accidental kick into a pool. The back of the speaker has a very water tight cover that houses the 3 ports. One is for USB port for charging a device. Another is the usb-c port to charge the speaker and the other is an auxiliary in jack that is 1/8” headphone style jack. The bottom has rubber grips to help keep the speaker planted. Like I mentioned before. Very well throughout design and feels sturdy. The front has an led that works as a battery indicator. I love that this speaker has so much output and it’s battery operated. If you connect the power charging cord to it while it’s playing, it does sound a little more powerful. It’s loud and powerful enough to let it just run on battery power. Using the speaker for the two weeks I have had it, I have charged it twice running it down to a dead battery which took some time. I usually play it at around 3/4 volume for at least 3 hours a day. I bring it to work and play it conservatively at 1/4 volume. The battery is practically still charged at the end of an 8 hour shift. After two work days it’s at around 70 percent battery. It drains faster the louder you have it. I have to say, the design of this speaker with its passive radiators and tubular shape makes for a great sounding speaker. I love watching the radiators move. They really help bring out the low notes. Never would of thought I would here 2.75” woofers go down to 52 hertz when I played the bass sweeps. I will be purchasing another one of these in the future so I can further utilize the party mode feature. This allows you to link two speakers together. This will be beneficial for when I have my pool parties. I usually have to lug a big ac powered speaker for my parties, but this speaker which is honestly 1/4 of the size and 1/8 the weight, and is also wireless, sounds better is just all around easier for me. You can even have two phones linked to it simultaneously. I am truly enjoying this extreme 3 speaker. Another great JBL product!
great products
I bought it 20 days ago and I also loved having the bombbox and the clip3, they are all excellent. I am a fan of JBL for their quality products and the sound is spectacular.
Incredible product that has tons of features!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is an amazing product, really impressed! For the price and sound quality it truly is a great product, very well built and very sturdy!
JBL Extreme 3 delivers!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The JBL Xtreme 3 delivers! It feels like a callback to the days of boomboxes on shoulders. It has a decent heft and size to it, but the included strap makes carrying it a breeze. Its construction is solid and gives a premium feel. The battery lasts quite some time between charges; I'm not sure if I get the full 15 hrs promised, but it holds charge for multiple days of regular use before dying/battery light coming on. I wish I had another so I could utilize its PartyBoost feature; that would be an awesome capability to access. Now the big question, how's it sound? I've got quite a few JBL products and I can say for certain it you like other JBL audio devices you'll like this one. It's got their touch to the audio for sure. I was hoping a little more depth from the bass, drops off any meaningful volume under 40hz (nerd speak here, it can't do REALLY really low sounds). That being said, the beauty in this speaker is in its default EQ and crossover. They really hit the nail on the head finding a setting that makes the bass very present and clear at any volume and still keeps all of its higher register fidelity. Translation? It makes everything you listen to clear crisp and lively and projects well. Overall it's a solid speaker, my only issue with it currently (if I can even call it an issue) is it's so pretty, I don't want to get it dirty!! But that's what it's built for and it's been very easy to clean so far. I definitely recommend the JBL Xtreme 3.
Extreme 3 Boom Box 3 and 2
I love the waterproof rating. I listened to JBL since the 70's and they sound good. The Bose home smart speaker sounded better but I did not keep it either. Bose support needs attention and the need to update the bluetooth connection and get waterproof ratings updated. If the Extreme 3 had more base I would have kept it for portability. I hope an Extreme 4 is coming with more base!! I will buy it. I kept the Boom Box 3 because of sound quality, but can't put in backpack for traveling. The BoomBox 2 had more CLEAR base but no midrange. Please put the Boombox 2 subs (or 2 bigger ) in the Boom box 3, then you would have it!!!!!!!!

Don’t buy JBL large speakers!
Don’t buy JBL large speakers! There is a chance of causing a fire. last summer I brought a JBL XTREME when we camp at Jasper, the first night we cook and eat, play music, was enjoyed, then the next morning, we went out for hiking, around noon, I received a phone call from the camping site management office, told us the tent was on fire, and ask us to go back immediately. My first thought was the campfire, but the fire pit was far away from the tent, and the fire in the pit was down when we left. After we got back to the camp site, we saw the tent mostly burned, and it was burned from inside. The camp site staff asked us what’s inside the tent, we named everything, the staff said the fire reason should be the speaker, li-battery may cause fire in some situations. And because the Li-battery is poisonous when burned, we can’t take anything from inside the tent, even the sleep bag in the opposite conner is not burned. The total loss may be worth a few thousand dollars, but I think this is maybe the best way if the speaker must be burned, nobody was injured, my car was not involved, and I can’t image if the fire happened at my home during the sleeping time. Anyway, a big size speaker is not a good idea, I will never buy it again.

Work Great with Big and Small Groups
Ww organize training events ranging from 20 to 200 people, and we require different types of speakers for our events. This speaker works great for small events up to 50 people, and has the ability to connect to our mixer to connect our microphones and laptops via the AUX 3.5 mm connection. We are extremely happy with the 100w output and the portability. In the past we used to carry heavier speakers to our events, and JBL Xtreme 3 has been a lifesaver. We looked at various comparable models, but this speaker has functions that other speakers don't have. Very highly recommended for indoor and outdoor use.
