Nice boombox3
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This speaker is great. I used it at a get together at my house and had it outside and the sound was awesome. I use it inside the house as well and the mix between treble and bass are great. I used it with the JBL app as well and this boombox 3 does the trick.The handle fits perfect in the hand and is very easy to carry around. The look is simple and sleek. This is one of the best speakers I have. Wish it would connect to the party box and charge 4 I have but unfortunately it does not. This is the only draw back I see. The sound is of high quality, crisp and clean. Would recommend to anyone. Easy to connect and play. Battery run time is awesome I played it for 8 hrs straight and still shows over half battery left. Charging is simple.
Not the wifi version like described
Product description doesn't match recieved product. I was excited when I saw REI had the wifi version of the boombox 3 in stock and ordered it right away. Was skeptical as the photos appear to be normal boombox 3 and not the wifi version but description matched specs of Boombox 3 WiFi. Delivered product ended up being Bluetooth only version. Will probably return as I was looking forward to the updated functions and capabilities. I think this product might be good...but will be a disappointment for what I was expecting.
Boombox 3
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm really enjoying the Boombox 3! I threw a party on the weekend. And everybody was asking about it. The sound quality is great! The ability to customize the sound with JBL app is great! I haven't used the PartyBoost feature yet. But I will in the future. The only thing is it's kinda heavy. Other than that. I love the Boombox 3!
Old software was better
I just upgraded the jbl Boombox 3 to Software version : 0.6.9.0 and I don't like the bass quality anymore. With this new update he no longer has the classic club jbl bass. Maybe the bass is a little stronger now but I prefer the sophisticated bass typical jbl than before
Great Speaker - Incredible Sound and Battery Life!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great speaker with incredible sound quality, convenient portability, and a long lasting battery life! The sound quality is great, even when you turn the volume up to the top. This speaker can get very loud especially for a speaker of this size. This speaker is perfect for any situation. Great for parties, whether that party is a casual barbecue or a bumping pool party. The fact it is waterproof allows you to relax when around water. This speaker is portable so it is very convenient to bring anywhere without having to be plugged in. The battery life lasts a long time as well which means you can use it all day long. It is perfect for playing loud music during workouts as well. This speaker is my new favorite speaker.
A truly Amazing sounding speaker
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Jbl Boombox 3 is a powerful speaker. It fills my yard that is over half an acre with exceptional sound. The speaker hits all the notes with authority and is very clean sounding. No distortion what so ever. When you utilize the JBL portable app you can customize the sound. The option to pair this speaker to other Jbl speakers using party mode is also a plus. Connecting multiple speakers gives you a truly immersive effect. I played some Dolby atmos sound tracks while listening to the speaker and was truly blown away. The sound stage and the way the speaker processes the sound is truly breath taking. Also while being totally wireless. I have used this speaker for over a week at a moderate level. Not once charging it back to full. I played it most of today at over half volume to not make my neighbors angry but it’s still going on the initial charge. This speaker states it goes 24 hours on a charge but I’m way past that. The speaker does have some weight to it. It’s balanced so carrying it isn’t a challenge. Its definitely a speaker to play at a party or large gathering. Loading it up in a corner makes this speaker sound massive. Super nice lows along with tight mid bass. The mid bass is so perfect. Highs are evident and clean as well. The speaker has a water tight cover on the rear which houses the port to connect the ac power cord, usb-a port and a 3.5mm jack. The speaker is splash proof and can be submerged in water for a bit without hurting the speaker in case it does fall into water or heavy rain. The build quality of this speaker is also exceptional. Good strong handle with a very sturdy frame. You can bump it into obstacles without worrying about hurting the speaker. You do have to watch that you don’t puncture the dual radiators on the sides though. They are recessed in but can get harmed by a sharp corner or object. Speaking of the radiators, it’s really cool watching the excursion of them as they play. The move allot. The bottom of the speaker has rubber footing to keep the speaker planted. In the end I find this to be an exception speaker with allot of great features. 24 hours of rated playback, IP67 waterproof and dust proof rating, powerbank to charge devices, partyboost to link to other Jbl speakers and Bluetooth 5.3. This is my new speaker for big sound to fill big areas.
WOW! Unbelievable sound.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The new JBL Boombox 3 is without a second thought, Incredible! I was apprehensive at first thinking how much bass can you really get out of a boombox no matter who made it. However, JBL has done it, and they did it well. The sound on the Boombox 3 is extremely impressive and the bass is outstanding! Top notch first class, from the packaging, to the look and feel of the unit all the way to the sound. Some features I like right off, the metal handle with the slip resistant silicone under the handle. Well balanced as well so you can carry it easily without it slipping out of your hand. The look is impressive, especially the JBL logo on the front. It has a kind of 3D effect with the raised lettering and red tinting from behind. The one I have is in black, and has a non slip orange silicone under handle and black non slip silicone on the bottom which is definitely needed to keep the unit from falling over due to the incredible bass sound. Lighted control on top. On the middle towards the bottom is another lighted bar to show power usage and charging. Rugged construction with a very nice mesh screen on front. Now the sound is extremely clear due to the speakers. 2 passive radiators for bass. 2 mid range 2.27” speakers and 2-0.75” tweeters on top of them. Now the best part is the 3.18” actual sub woofer in the middle of the Boombox which delivers a powerful bass sound that truly is unbelievable. One of the best features is the ability to charge your phone or device right from the unit. The Li-ion battery gives a impressive 24 hrs of play time so you can party all night and not run out of power. If you and a friend want to D. J. The 5.3 bluetooth allow you to link two devices so each one of you can play from your device. For me I’ve wanted to be able to put good speakers outdoors by the deck and up and downstairs and run them with one unit. Now with the Boombox 3 app in the App Store through the party boost you can link up over A hundred speakers. Now, I have that option with great sound from JBL’s nice assortment of party boost speakers. You can also find other party boost speakers a friend has brought and link them, as well as getting a better sound with the equalizer in the app. One other great idea in the app. Is that you can link two speakers up and play in stereo and choose which side you want to dedicate right or left sound. All this and also water proof & dust proof so you can go to the pool or beach and not worry about the elements destroying your unit. With that being said, I can find nothing negative about the new Boombox 3. We use it everywhere even in the truck. We put it in the back seat and crank it up and people think we have a huge sound system in the truck. You won’t be disappointed with the new JBL Boombox 3 you will be impressed. I highly recommend it, especially to family and friends. Two suggestions I can make is maybe a detachable handle so if you want to put the unit on a shelf or tight area and leave it, you can have it blend into the decor easier. The second is I’m hoping they make the equalizer in the app wider and more sensitive so you can really cue in the sound to your liking. Over all, on a scale of 1-10, I give the JBL Boombox 3 a 11. Great job to the folks at JBL! You hit it out of the park
The ultimate portable speaker... Period.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The JBL Boombox 3 is the successor to the Boombox 2. I had a Boombox 2 and I'll say they are very similar. That's a good thing, as the Boombox 2 is an amazing speaker. The third version takes everything good and makes it just a bit better. The waterproof rating gets an accompanying dust rating. The Bluetooth is a newer version. The battery is still amazing and the speaker still functions as a power bank. What I really noticed as different is the sound. The Boombox 2 was, in my opinion, the undisputed king of portable speakers. Everywhere I took it, it turned heads. It beat much larger speakers, including those ones you have to roll like a little cart, in both sound quality and volume. This speaker is even better. You can fill a huge room or even a large outdoor space with sound. The bass is just huge. I know some speakers perform slightly worse when unplugged from power, but I noticed no drop in performance from this beast. Battery life is advertised as 24 hours, which seems true.. I ran the speaker unplugged every day after work for 5 days and then most of the day Saturday and Sunday before I need to recharge it. Great battery, great bass, and truly amazing sound quality.. this is truly an awesome piece of tech.
Packs a Punch
This will get everyones attention, neighbors beware. It is loud and is the best sounding product I have seen that you are able to carry around. Bass, Mids, Highs are all crisp and clear. I do have a large 2 acre lot, if I am up late at night, I will turn it down slightly. Easy to connect, super long range, i can walk all the way back to my house, and it's still connected for great range. Long play time, the 24 hours is accurate. My only knock is that it may be a little large and heavy for your liking, but if you can get past that, you will not need anything else. Amazing product as always JBL. Thanks for bringing us this.
Near Perfect Speaker for Any Situation!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Outstanding sound and portability that keeps the party alive. From the packaging, to the close attention to details, the speaker is close to perfect. Very pronounced booming low frequency bass notes with crispy highs, almost any type of media played sounds great. Sound Quality: Booming bass that has enough volume to shake the surface it’s set on, to crispy highs that can be heard from a good distance. The audio quality is near perfect for any use. Indoors, the speaker proves to be the center of attention with its very punchy bass where as outdoors it’s drowned out at higher volumes by the mids and highs, although still sounding great. A/C Power mode takes the already great sound to now louder and punchier space providing extra power to the drivers. Build Quality: Rugged, Waterproof, and Trustworthy. The high quality materials is noticeable at first touch. The handle seems very stiff and study. The rubbery ribbed base provides a good amount of contact to any surface to keep the speaker steady. Water resistance is a key feature of the speaker. Providing ease of mind in outdoor environments. Although being waterproof, there is noticeable audio disconnections while being slightly submerged. Packaging: Keeping it simple and productive, there is very minimal amounts of items included in the box. The speaker, charging cord and provided manuals is all to expect once opening the box. Clean and strait to the point is always a good thing, allowing the music to start sooner! Overall: The JBL BoomBox 3 provides pounding low notes while keeping the music clear and understandable at all volumes. Standing out in any situation, the speaker keeps you charged up with the USB port on the rear allowing you to keep the music going, not to mention the 24 hour long battery lifespan per charge. Grab the speaker and go, it’s ready for whatever you throw at it!
