Rated 5 out of 5 by from Avoid!!! We bought one of these for my sister and the left speaker blew after 1 year. We thought that was a fluke and bought one for ourselves recently and after 2 months the battery won’t hold a charge!!! We literally bought two and both are $500 garbage!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Disappointed I just got the Boom box 3 and it's sad to say that it doesn't live up to the 24 hours of play as advertised. I charged my Boombox 3 over night as it states it takes 6.5 hours to charge, now I bought this speaker because it say it supposed to last 24 hours but here I am in the 7th hour of play time and the red light is already flashing. It sounds amazing, I don't even have it but less than half way because I'm at work... But I am disappointed in this for dying so early compared to the promise of 24 hours. Wish there was something that could be done, $500 for this I could have just kept my JBL Charge 4 for this.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from 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

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Battery light needs improvement I've been using my new Boombox 3 for 4 months now. It sounds great! The battery only lasts 6 hours on max volume. It last about 12 hours on 3/4 volume and 18 hours on half volume. Here's three massive improvements that are required, in my opinion. 1. Make the bottom flat all the way from end to end and widen the bottom so that it is more stable. It rolls around all the time. If you even slightly bump it, it becomes a rolling pin. 2. Put the LED battery/charging light on top of the unit by the on/off button and volume buttons. Why did you think it was a good idea to put it on the bottom of the speaker where you can't see it? 3. Make the LED battery/charging light a digital readout. Level 0 through 10. You have a limited idea of how much battery life is left until the light bar turns red. At that point you're down to 15 minutes to an hour left of play time depending on the volume you're at. That's also providing you pick it up and check the light periodically.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Very Loud Crystal Clear Sound First Off I LOVE ALL JBL AUDIO PRODUCTS!!!! JBL in my opinion is on top when it comes to sound quality. No matter what you're listening to, it's extremely clear and defined. For you Dubstep and Bass Junkies out there, look no further. The Boombox 3 has all the bass you need in a portable platform. This beast rips hard. And the bass hits even harder. Punchy bass hits, with crsytal clear drops. Electronic Music has never sounded better. If you want Loud as heck. This is perfect. Honestly I've gotten headaches its so darn loud. But for me Louder the better, and this unit exceeds all expectations. The price tag can scare some away, but I assure you the JBL Boombox 3 is worth every penny and more. It's tough as nails, the quality is very high. Plus its waterproof and dustproof. I use mine in a shipyard, where it gets loud, but my speaker is louder! Very Super Highly Recommend, I'll be JBL for Life!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from We love us some JBL Speakers I am very happy with my purchase. We have 10 JBL speakers in our family and the boom box 3 is now my favorite. We started with flip 3 and then we purchased several Charge 4, 1 Extreme 2 and an Extreme 3. The Boom Box 3 has a lot more bass and depth to the sound. We also purchased 2 of the Party Box 300. These are great for more stationary use. Great for parties or gatherings. Overall, Boom Box 3 is my personal favorite.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Amazing speaker! I got the boombox 3 just over a week ago and all I can say is WOW! This speaker is amazing for its size, it is alittle bit and heavy but nobody should be complaining considering the sound it puts out. Its literally a portable concert! I own the Boombox 2 also which is still a great speaker. But in my opinion the 3 is better. The bass is very deep and the mids and highs a crystal clear. It gets very loud with no distortion. I also own a partybox 200 and the boombox 3 sounds better with more bass. If you decide to purchase a boombox 3 you will not be disappointed! Remeber, you only live once. Just go for it!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great sound and plenty of volume I was looking for something with plenty of volume, great sound, and could handle wet and sandy environments. The Boombox 3 fits the bill perfectly. I have other JBL Bluetooth speakers as well, but the Boombox 3 is next level on all fronts. Very impressed. Excellent speaker.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from As usual a very happy JBL consumer Ive had it for 24 hours now and was lucky enough to snag this for black friday. Been eyeballing this model for a year after my xtreme 2 finally died after MANY years and countless hours of quality music. As a chef its important a speaker can keep up with the abuse of a kitchen and JBL never falls short. Also got a clip4 for mom for her shower and shes in heaven with it. So far I typically use this at 60% volume and it came about 80% charged. Ive got easily 8 hours in so far and battery indicator still shows 25% full. I know this will last a longgggg time for me. Thanks JBL

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Best in it's class. Picked this up at Bust Buy and the sound quality is second to none. Crisp highs, punchy mids, deep lows, and you can hear every single detail. Podcasts sound amazing, and doubles as a portable soundbar for movies. I spent hours watching/reading reviews before I bought it, and there really is nothing on the market that can beat the engineering and quality that went into the Boombox3. I own a Partybox 310 too, however the Boombox 3 sounds better overall. I noticed lower tones on the Boombox that even my much louder Partybox cannot pick up, thanks to that new sub-woofer and dedicated driver. The mid/high range sounds WAY clearer on the Boombox 3 as well. There is one downside, is that the same battery is used for all 3 Boombox models. Since the BB3 is pushing more wattage, it's surprising they chose to use the same battery. Would like to see that upgraded in the next Boombox model. My Boombox 2 lasts longer than the Boombox 3 and I've had that for almost 5 years. 4.8 / 5 Would recommend.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from No Audio Input Jack Very good speaker with excelent sound, however you can only use it on it's own since it has no audio input. In other words if you have the need to watch a nice movie and want to add some nice sound to it by using an the audio output from your TV, there is no way to input it to your Boombox 3 Wi-Fi.... no audio input whatsoever. To be honest at the price, I'm sure they could have included an 3.5mm audio input jack. It's rather disappointing that it's not an option or a feature.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Boombox 3 review I bought this during the Black Friday sale. I do like it, but the subwoofer is a tiny bit lackluster. The sound quality is pretty freaking good!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Just not that great It's just not that great. I was so excited to finally get one. The Encore Essential is twice the speaker for half the money. I was truly sad to return it, but for $400 it is not worth it. I have a 10 year old Sondore speaker that has more bass, which was ultimately why I returned it.

Why would consumers not know this when product is not on sale. $500 for an outdated version less than a month would make anyone feel scammed. I read the quality is much better. Exchange?

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Beast! I definitely have to say that I’m very impressed on how thisBoombox 3 sounds! My volume levels are usually around 50-60% and wow this thing is loud and the bass packs a punch! Especially having control over the EQ on the JBL app, have access to the bass and mids and treble definitely makes a huge difference! This is my first JBL speaker and yeah it’s pricey but money well worth! I’m literally thinking on picking up a second Boombox 3! Hopefully JBL comes out with a Boombox 4! Great job!

Absolutely love it

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Massive speaker that will rock your party! First of all the design and the processing quality are well refined and the orange spots on the logo brand and under the handle are just impressive. The speaker is indeed very heavy and it's definitely not an item that you just move from one to another spot quickly despite of carrying it longer ways. The speaker has the latest Bluetooth 5.3 version, so you get the state of the art. But when I try to start playing a song, almost every time the first half second the song gets cut off. Even when I have the latest software update installed. The battery life is just excellent and the recharge works with no hassle. You can even charge your own device over the USB-A port with around 10 W. The app looks fine, of course you can disable those annoying sound prompts for example when you turn on/off the Boombox. The latency is great when you watching movies or series with you audio over the speaker, so no sound delay in this case. And of course it sounds good in this area. Now let's talk about the sound quality in general. I would say the speaker sounds the best when you are listening to EDM, Hip Hop, Rock and Pop music. The highs are fine, some details in comprehensive songs don't show up unfortunately, the mids are audible and present, but miss some clarity directional, the bass on the other hand is just awesome but I would put it down to -1 at the EQ settings. The mids and high +1, respectively. Then it sound the best in my opinion. Regrettably you can only select each (highs, mids, bass) between -2 and +2, so no in between option or more settings available. For that price it just too expensive at the moment in my opinion and I would only recommend it to people that are really enjoying listening to music at higher volume and have the option and location to do so. And of course people who want to have a private party. When you are also enjoy listening at lower volume levels, you absolutely can, but don't expect the best balanced sound quality.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from 3rd addition to the Boombox line. Worth it. I had a Monster Sound blaster from 2016-17. I thought the sound from that boom box would never be matched. As time went on, it lost its ability to keep a charge. I needed another boombox and did some research. After reading a few reviews, I decided to look at JBL's boomboxes. The boombox 2 popped up. I read about it and thought...why not. It had good reviews. Then I heard that there was a boombox 3. I figured it was a little pricey, but, if they were charging this much, they were confident in their product. Man....was I pleasantly surprised. I never heard such solid, tight bass from a portable. They added a subwoofer to boombox 3. Add to that the nice midrange, with crisp, sparkling highs. I'm sold. While the Monster was my introduction to Bluetooth boomboxes...and an awesome one, the boombox 3 took it to another level. If you're willing to spend the extra money, the boombox 3 is well worth it.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Wow! This thing is Massive and Packs a Punch My initial thoughts when I first received this item is that I didn't expect it to be so large and heavy. When I turned it on, connected and started playing some music in the house, I was blown away. The sound is crisp, clear and I fell immediately in love with it. Is it large? yes. Do you need any other speaker? no Will it attract attention to your entire neighborhood? yes The sound is amazing. JBL really did a nice job on putting this together and I am completely satisfied. Connecting was quick and painless and even at the lowest setting, you will be able to hear it pretty well. We tested this thing at multiple bonfires and we got nothing but compliments. Jumping the sound up after dark will definitely attract the neighbors attention, so be aware. I live in a small neighborhood, with neighbors who are rarely home, so it wasn't much of a concern to me. I like the fact that this is waterproof and can charge your phone. It does not run out of juice. The battery life is listed as 24 hours and for me at least, each party we have had, it has not died on us. As a matter of fact, it wasnt even near 1/2 when I recharge it. That in itself is a reason to purchase. Its loud and its perfect for parties. Few items you should consider. My bonfire pit is about 2 acres away from our home, so its not great to lug this thing around. I will most likely opt for my JBL Charge or Flip as this boombox at its highest level, will draw out conversations. We set it farther away. Our plan with this, is to use it when closer to our home and a patio type setting. This is not a complaint, but its to inform you that you should use it for what you are comfortable with. I have not had one issue with this item and is a great addition to our home. I look at it every day as it sits near my office and I just think to myself, WOW. What an awesome piece of equipment. I've added a few photo's to compare its size. Thank you JBL for delivering yet another amazing product! JC

Rated 5 out of 5 by from One thing ruins all good impression The speaker is good in sound - I previously owned HK Go&Play and this one sounds not a bit less beautiful. However there is one thing that Extremely Ruins the experience! When you listen via cable and your music track is in low volume, the speaker goes to what can best be described as "sleep" almost immediately - 5-10 seconds. And then it requires a higher volume than before to "wake up" and start playing again, and it also takes time. I can't even describe how irritating is that when you are listening to a classical music track - they very often have long loud and almost silent periods, so you just started to listen and then in the middle of the song - voila, your speaker just stops playing because it considered your track not loud enough - but it was loud enough for you to hear! Or one more case from my life - when you decide to practice your guitar and connect boombox 3 to a guitar pedal. One second you played a chord then spent few seconds adjusting your fingers to a new one - and the chord is simply not sounding because the speaker went to sleep during that pause, so you need to play something for next ~5-6 seconds before you start to hear what you are playing again. The described behavior is not present when you connect via bluetooth not via cable, but for cable I can describe it with only one word - AWFUL! Don't buy it if you plan to listen via cable! JBL, this _needs_ to be fixed! Few minutes of battery life or some silent noise whispering in the background are not worth the loss of continuous playback. This "sleep" interruptions are awful!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Gets your ears bleeding So I am probably bias. But it does not change how awesome this speaker is. I have 1st and 2nd generation JBL Extreme speakers that have been flawless. This is literally the next step up with bigger everything. First off, I was like a kid on christmas getting this thing. Packaging was good. Came wrapped in a nice white bag when getting to the speaker. Was surprised at how light it was to carry. I enjoy the charging status light bar instead of dots. Came half charged, so it was ready to go literally right out of the box. This thing cranked when I put it full blast! Had to turn it down. Connecting via bluetooth was super simple. Honestly, just touching one button on the unit and having my phone pick up on it can't get anymore straight forward. The cover for charger and usb hookups is solid, but not as tight as on my extreme speakers. I don't thing this is water rated which is probably why. Minor thing really. I am really looking forward to the use of this in the future. And i love the coloring on the JBL logo. Originally thought the new huge logos was a little gawdy, but this looks good.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Near Perfect Speaker for Any Situation! 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!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Wow! Amazing sound and long battery life! I have several JBL Charge Speakers which pack an awesome sound among other great features. The JBL Boombox 3 is another level. Right off the bat, I’ll say it’s a five-star product hands-down. Here’s why: I have been putting this thing to the test and have been pretty amazed with the sound, durability, and battery life. It is relatively big and a bit heavy. However, it reminds me of the old days when carrying a boombox over your shoulder was a routine thing. This is certainly better than that experience and packs a sound that literally blows me away. It is very easy to setup and the Bluetooth stays connected with great range. Here’s more detail on why I give it five stars and would give it more if I could: Sound. Amazing! I first started using it inside the house. I felt like a teenager again. Imagine a grown man, running around and chasing the kids with it, blasting my choice of 80’s music. Yes, I did that! The sound is incredible and will shake the house if you crank it up. Otherwise, playing it at a low-level volume is great too with rich sound delivered by its three-way speaker system made up of a powerful subwoofer and two tweeters. Then something else happened. I took it outside. Let me tell you, this thing rocked the neighborhood. It was throwing sound all over the place and sounded like I had speakers mounted everywhere. Oddly enough it felt like it performed even better outside. We linked it up with our other JBL’s via “Party Boost” and had sound in and out of the house. It is perfect for parties or just playing music for day to day living. No need to run any wires or mount speakers anywhere for immersive sound throughout the home! Durability. Rugged! Like other JBL products, the Boombox 3 is solid. Although it is somewhat heavy, the handle feels very strong and it’s easy to move around. The charging port is a solid two-prong AC plug and the protective covering is thick with a good seal. Take it to the beach, get it wet, whatever, this thing feels like it is made to last. Battery life. Long! I did not run it straight until it died. However, I ran it pretty hard, charged my phone, and it lasted several days. The specs call for 24 hours of run-time depending on volume and usage and I have to say that is accurate. To buy or not to buy? Yes, I highly recommend the JBL Boombox 3. The Boombox 3 is amazing on many levels. Sure, it doesn’t have the same vintage look and feel as the old school boombox. However, it is very sleek and much easier to throw over the shoulder. Realistically, I’m not planning on doing that very often but at least I know I can! I will however move it around a lot which will not be a problem. The Boombox 3 really is multipurpose sound system. It’s more than just a portable speaker as it comes packed with features beyond insane sound and battery life including Party Boost, a charging bank, and the JBL Portable App integration that allows you to adjust the EQ, update the firmware, and easily link other devices through Party Boost. If you want a serious portable speaker that performs like a home theatre, you should definitely consider the JBL Boombox 3!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Rocking the block with my BoomBox 3 Oh my gosh!!! Rocking the pool parties this summer!! I am VERY pleased with this product and it arrived just before our back to school pool party with our kids' friends' families. We set it on a ledge before people arrived and it provided background ambiance all night long without a hitch. The sound quality is top notch with bass notes hitting hard in a wide open space. I still cannot believe how well the low end of the frequency range is represented with the Boombox 3. The two ends of the boombox 3 are basically passive radiators which helps disperse the sound as well as enhance the oomph of the low end. And my kids loved feeling the vibrations from the radiators while their favorite songs played. I also attempted to give a quick science lesson on how sound is made when they got close - which of course drove them immediately back into the pool - the youth of today. . . Back to the Boombox 3 - It is a nice package that is easily carried with the extra large handle on top. The whole unit charges fairly quickly and I never ran out of power when using it. I used it extensively while clearing out and installing shelving in my garage. Again, blown away by the sound!! And this is where someone with a really big brain came in and said - "Let's make this a power bank as well since cell phones will run out of power before the speaker will." Brilliant idea!! This will be a godsend on campouts and our venture to the pumpkin patch firepits that are coming up. I have only one small thing I can find fault with with regards to the BoomBox3, and this is being REALLY nitpicky. The center of gravity of the unit is kind of high and the footprint is a large oval on the bottom of the unit. So, if bumped- it does easily roll on it's front or back. So, if it is place higher up on something and bumped - it could potentially fall off whatever it is sitting on, damaging the unit or whatever it falls on. I only notice the tendency for it to tip over when I charge the unit up and try to open a cabinet behind the unit and bump it. One thing I wonder about is how hard would it have been to add a radio receiver to the BoomBox 3. I still listen to broadcast radio occasionally, but yes - most of the time, I am either listening from my personal library on my cell or streaming SIRIUS. I guess keeping the ability to streaming will allow for better sound quality all the time. Anyway, I am a VERY SATISFIED customer with this product and I will be using it a WHOLE lot around the house, while camping, while hosting parties, while enjoying the backyard, . . .

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Incredibly Loud Speaker This is quite possibly the loudest Bluetooth speaker I've ever heard. It gets booming loud, and really doesn't distort the sound. The sound quality at all levels is fantastic. I love the size and shape. It holds like an old school boombox with a modern look. The new JBL logo is sleek too. Pair these with the battery life, and this is a speaker I am always stoked have. I listen to a wide variety of music, with rock being my go to. I started out with easy listening rock from the Eagles, and it was crystal clear. I'd ranged up to hard rock, and being just as clear, it felt like a concert in my home while just at 50% volume. I had to go outside to test it on full blast. Even then, the sound quality was good. I've never had such a loud speaker play this well, this loud. The portability is great with it. It's sleek, and looks great. The handle on top feels is metal, and along with the rest of the unit, feels very high quality. The product's packaging is even nice. It's also waterproof and dustproof, which is a huge perk for me. I love to bring this outside, in the shop, camping, to parties, and on the lake. The versatility is great, and I can still enjoy it at home. A huge perk for me is the battery life. It has a 24-hour battery life, this holds true. It's so convenient to have a long lasting battery in a speaker like this because when I do bring it along camping, I know it'll last the whole trip. When I bring it on the lake, it's good for the whole day, for a fire at night, and then some. When just playing at home, I charge this twice a week tops. It's nice not to have to charge a bluetooth speaker each day. All in all, this is a great speaker. It is so incredibly loud, it's eye-catching, and the battery life is not one to let you down. I'd highly recommend this speakers to those who like to jam, are audiophiles, or simply want a great sounding speaker for any occasion.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from The ultimate portable speaker... Period. 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.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Amazing speaker! I got the boombox 3 just over a week ago and all I can say is WOW! This speaker is amazing for its size, it is alittle bit and heavy but nobody should be complaining considering the sound it puts out. Its literally a portable concert! I own the Boombox 2 also which is still a great speaker. But in my opinion the 3 is better. The bass is very deep and the mids and highs a crystal clear. It gets very loud with no distortion. I also own a partybox 200 and the boombox 3 sounds better with more bass. If you decide to purchase a boombox 3 you will not be disappointed! Remeber, you only live once. Just go for it!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from The Box has BOOM! The JBL boombox 3 is a fun addition to any trip, get together, or just to use chillin’ around the house. I absolutely enjoy the music spewing out of this boombox 24/7. The sound quality is exceptional! The box has BOOM! I love the handles that keep it in your hand even when it’s wet. The fact that this boombox is waterproof is amazing! We sat by the pool. It got splashed on and wet. No problems. It also has an amazing battery life of 24 hrs of play! That is unheard of! I tested the theory, and it is true. There are a couple of things that keep this from being a 5 star review. I was so excited to connect my boombox 3 with my party box. It’s not possible. The other thing about the JBL boombox 3 is that it is very heavy. Even though it’s compact and easy to travel with, it’s hefty. It is definitely quality material, but not easy to carry for someone of my small stature. Overall, the JBL Boombox 3 is impressive, loud, full of bass, and a great asset to have. I love hosting and this helps!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Total killer sound system in an awesome package After receiving the package, I was immediately surprised by the dimensions of the box. Before, I had the JBL Flip 6, which you could almost put in your pocket. The Boombox is really of a different calibre and seems really powerful. My first song on the box was Red River by Yannek Maunz and it blew me away. The sound is full, balanced and just fun. On the Flip I also heard the music in great quality - on the Boombox I felt it. In everyday life, I use it as a loudspeaker for the PC, in the kitchen when cooking, when showering - simply always. I've also had the pleasure of hosting parties at home; at 50% volume, it feels like you're in a club. Outdoors, I've tried them out twice so far and really turned them up. You can really have fun with it. As you would expect from JBL, the workmanship is absolutely superb, you don't have to worry about water and the speaker can really take a beating. The carrying handle is made of metal and absolutely stable, but I would have found eyelets for a carrying strap like on the Xtreme great. The battery lasts forever, 24 hours according to JBL and I can confirm that. Overall, the speaker is great for having excellent sound quality everywhere at home without a stationary system and especially for being able to party outside. Due to its dimensions and weight, it is not really suitable for the next bicycle tour, but that should be obvious to every buyer in advance.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from This thing ROCKS! This is far and away the best indoor/outdoor travel speaker that I have ever used. We used it for an outdoor birthday party and it easily filled our large yard with rich, clear sound across several genres. The bass response is also excellent with its dedicated subwoofer. The build quality is also excellent. The kids accidentally sprayed the speaker a bit with the hose and it brushed it off no problem and kept on chugging. It feels awesome and the handle feels substantial and tough. The fabric exterior also feels very tough and high quality. The sound is excellent in my opinion. It gets plenty loud (we never felt the need to crank it above 60%) and retains its clarity with no noticeable distortion. Lows are punchy and not at all muddy. Mids are clear and wide. Highs are also very nice, cymbals and electric guitar squeals come through nicely without too much harshness or brightness. I’m super pleased with this speaker and look forward to making it our go-to party and outdoor activity speaker.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Boombox 3 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!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from The Boombox 3 is a beast First off this thing gets loud, like really loud. But it also still sounds very good at those higher volumes. The speaker has very good highs and good mid range but it does lack a little when it comes to the low end bass. Still most music I have listened to has sounded great. Podcasts and audio books have also sounded great. The battery life is also extremely impressive. I have been using this everyday for well over a week for a couple of hours at a time and the battery light is still full. I have only charged this on the first day that I received it. Add in the fact that it can be used as a battery bank for your phone and you have a speaker that will last quite a while. The battery life of the speaker is said to be up to 24 hours depending on the music playback. I can honestly believe it. I have been using it at 35% to 50% max volume, listening to music, podcasts and an audio book. The JBL Portable app has been a nice addition and something I am used to with JBL's headphones but this is my first speaker with app support. While it isn't a game changer it is an easy way to check your battery life plus it has a 3 band EQ. Currently all my testing has been in the house, though I can't wait to take this out soon. So far I am incredibly happy with it and if I had to give a negative about the product it would be that party boost only works with the new line of speakers. I would love to use this with some of my older speakers but I also understand that technology evolves and sometimes you have to drop support of older devices.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great unit all around After I purchased the Sony XG500, I returned it due to the sound and looked at a Boombox 2 at the store, They didn't have any available so I went searching for the Boombox 3, I am so glad I did. I'm really pleased, not only with the bass (the Sony had good bass too) but the highs and mids were equally impressive and didn't get drowned out by the incredible bass of this unit. It gets quite loud but luckily doesn't lose much quality at the higher volume levels. I wish they got the app better, it needs a battery percentage rather than a bar and the graphic eq doesn't really do much. Overall, I like the design, it feels super sturdy, looks great and performs even better. Yes, it's pricey comparative to others on the market, but I'm still happy.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from High End Bluetooth Speaker Boombox 3 is really amazing ! First it truly has that full bodied sound that a really much larger speaker has. Second I used the JBL portable app and customized the sound through equalization and it sounds incredible, the app is a very good tool to use with this speaker. Thirdly this speaker although heavy is easy to carry around with the sturdy handle provided. We used it at the pool instead of turning on our main pool bar speaker system which is JBL also. It is very portable and very loud if you turn it up but it still sounds awesome at lower volumes and provides that full punchy sound. It is waterproof and that means were taking it to the beach baby! By far this is my new best bluetooth speaker that I will use and enjoy for a very long time. The battery is strong and has held a charge for I know at least 6 hours of play. JBL did it again and hit this one out of the park excellent quality bluetooth speaker that I highly recommend!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Just… wow! Incredible is the word that comes to mind first. So, upon unboxing I was floored with the cool design, handle, and overall style of a modern day boom box (I grew up with tape cassette/CD player boom boxes…). It was super easy to pair with my phone and my Apple TV and I started to play some of my favorite tracks right away. Started with hip-hop, moved on to some rock, and then finished up with some R&B. The quality in sound is amazing. Clear, crisp, and the bass is so smooth and deep. I also watch television and movies with it connected and it makes the experience so much better. The sound is just SO good. Out of all of JBL products I own, this is by far my favorite. Looking forward to hosting some gatherings and being asked about it.

The treble is crisp, the bass is deep and punchy and there is so much sound coming from a medium sized boombox. Battery life is also amazing. The only drawback in my opinion is that it's bulky/awkward when carrying. Built in strap attachment poibts would have been amazing.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Booooom I was SUPER excited to have the opportunity to try this speaker. I've purchased 2 JBL speakers in the past and they never disappointed. I immediately tried it out once I received it. Connecting it to my phone was quick and simple. The quality of the sound and the base is AMAZING. I also connected it to my TV to use as a sound bar and it was an absolute game changer. The sound is so crisp and clear. This product definitely exceeded my expectations. It is loud enough for you to bring to a cook out, party or to the beach. It is a very durable speaker, one thing I have to note is that it is kind of heavy. I dont plan on carrying it around so I dont mind. It has a very sleek design and not bulky at all. I've also tested out the function to charge my phone. Definitely something convenient to have as someone at a party always has a dead phone. Battery life on this is great, since I am not running it 24 hours one charge does last me almost a week depending on how frequent I use it. Overall I think that this is a great investment for those who are looking into getting a portable speaker.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from A truly Amazing sounding speaker 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.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Massive sound in a portable design. I've used quite a few JBL products in the past, and this one fills a gap that I had. I have a Partybox 310 that I use for my main sound/music for the house, and I've used Flip or Charge speakers for travel/pool party/bedroom music. I love the small portable speakers but sometimes you just need MORE. This Boombox 3 can pretty much do it all. If this was my main house speaker, it could fill the room easily. If you need it for a portable party, it's perfect. Backyard tunes, bbq time, it's good for all of it. Deep bass, clear sound and did I say crazy loud if you need it? Also insanely long lasting battery life. Only thing it can't do is travel. Because of size, this isn't practical for putting in a suitcase to take on vacations. I've included a picture of it next to my Flip 6 so that you can see a size comparison. As far as connectivity, it's as easy as it gets. I'm an Android user and it paired immediately with my phone and my Chromebook with no drops or stutter at all. The handle is comfortable to transport it around. It does way around 20 pounds but it's not anything unmanageable. Overall the sound is fantastic and for the size, this thing is pound for pound the best, loudest speaker I have in a quickly portable package. I highly recommend it.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from WOW! Unbelievable sound. 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

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Lots of great qualities and only a few drawbacks Overall totally love this speaker and I look forward to using it in large groups or at the beach in the future. While I knew this speaker was large it is definitely heavier than I anticipated. The large handle on the top is nice for easy carrying but as a petite female I definitely feel like I’m lugging something around. The sound quality is so clear and the base is good; it does not disappoint! It’s the high quality sound you know and love and expect from JBL. To me, a small draw back is that there is no sound coming from the back of the speaker. Since it is so large it would be great if there was sound coming from all sides so it could be the center of large gatherings. But I also acknowledge that it’s common with large speakers to only have sound coming from one side. On that note, the partyboost feature where you can daisy chain is a great option to connect to other speakers. I did try it out and connect the Boombox3 to my JBL Xtreame3 and loved that I could put each speaker in a different room. However, it did seem like the quality of sound was slightly decreased when using this feature so there is some give and take there. I also love that you can use it to charge other devices like your phone and the battery life is amazing on this speaker!! In conclusion, love the speaker, sound quality, and battery life. But be warned it is a little heavy and you may lose a little sound quality when using partyboost.

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.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from 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.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Nice boombox3 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.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Amazing Long Lasting Sound from a Compact Package! The BoomBox 3 arrived and I was instantly impressed by the compactness and ultimate breath taking sound reproduction from such a handy portable unit! The new Boom Box 3 offers all of the features of the Boom Box 2 but offers many upgrades for a truly hi fidelity experience! Boom Box 3 was well packaged in eco friendly packaging as well as a convenient cloth type storage bag to keep the exterior clean of dust and debris. The box included the unit itself as well as a very concise Quick Start guide and charging cable for home AC charging! Upon properly charging the unit (which only took a few short hours) I was able to power the unit on and link to my Bluetooth v5.3 connection effortlessly. The unit also offers a Line In rear port similar to a headphone jack if a wired connection is necessary. The JBL Portable app is available for Apple as well as Android applications to quickly pair the unit to phones or other devices using Bluetooth. The Portable app also serves as an adjustment for EQ parameters as well as linking other units using the Party Boost feature. You can link several Party Boost units together for a concert like experience! My ONLY downside to this unit that I could find is that Party Boost is NOT compatible with True Wireless Stereo features on the Party Box Series. So essentially you can only link the Party Boost devices with each other but not to the Party Box devices. I would love to see all the devices be able to communicate with each other in future applications. The battery offers a strong 10000 mAh battery which usually takes around 6 hours from completely dead to and astounding 24 hours of playtime with just a nearly 6 hour charge. Perfect for those all night parties or all day outdoor events when battery performance is crucial. Another truly essential feature of this massive battery is the PowerBank feature which allows charging of USB capable devices from the rear port. No more dead cell phones on boating or beach trips so the party never ends! Unit is IP 67 dust- and water-proof fabric design is perfect for those beach, river, or pool type outings. The unit also has a nonslip hefty metal handle (non slip grip) for easily moving the unit (a mere 14 lbs) as well as non slip grip on bottom to keep it in place even in the most slippery conditions. BoomBox3 will withstand splashes and occasional dunks or water related mishaps. Speaker performance is a dramatic improvement over previous models! A new set of subwoofers, midranges and tweeters give this unit a one of a kind music explosion! The unit does not offer any type of light show like the Party Box offers but does deliver a must have outdoor and travel music experience that is second to none! JBL quality seems to evolve to a truly premiere products with each new release! Our family loves to use this unit on camping trips but also on boating and beach trips. The dust proof and water proof design as well as the extended battery capacity and USB charging capabilities are must haves! We love Boom Box 3 and consider the price for all the features and performance offered well worth it!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Amazing speaker! I got the boombox 3 just over a week ago and all I can say is WOW! This speaker is amazing for its size, it is alittle bit and heavy but nobody should be complaining considering the sound it puts out. Its literally a portable concert! I own the Boombox 2 also which is still a great speaker. But in my opinion the 3 is better. The bass is very deep and the mids and highs a crystal clear. It gets very loud with no distortion. I also own a partybox 200 and the boombox 3 sounds better with more bass. If you decide to purchase a boombox 3 you will not be disappointed! Remeber, you only live once. Just go for it!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Boombox 3 - Beast of a speaker! Purchased for. Local retain chain, for use mostly outside on a farm. Needless to say I'm very impressed with the quality of bass and treble at higher volumes and even at the distance I am from the speaker at any given time. The boom box 3 is very sturdy and very well built. I've only cycled the battery one time so far, I did find out that I can charge something from the USB plug on the back while the speaker itself is plugged in charging. That definitely cuts down on cord clutter!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from JBL Boom Box I've owned the JBL boombox 2 for about 2 year. It has never see extreme weather conditions, mostly indoor use. The charger failed and started making a beeping noice. I called JBL and the customer service rep was difficult to understand and did not help. I was told that I have to buy a new charger. Will most likely switch brands. Very disappointed.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great sound but not so great battery life As an owner of boombox2 and 3 I can honestly, say that I’m very disappointed with the battery life on the current model. Battery last roughly 4-5 hrs on a full charge and that’s a moderate volume. Did a warranty claim on it and I was told that it could’ve been a Defect battery. Got a new one but battery still last about the same. To the people looking to buy a boombox I would highly recommend #2. I’ve had it for three years and it’s still going strong .. for the price JBL needs to address this issue ASAP firm believer on “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it “

Rated 5 out of 5 by from OUTSTANDING PRODUCT IN ALL ASPECTS!!! My son was visiting for Christmas and told me he "needed" a Wi-Fi speaker. He was complaining the 1 he researched and was the best was expensive. (He is an engineer and researches everything!) He told me how much and I told him to order 2 and Merry Christmas! I needed 1 also, but not savvy enough to understand which is BEST! My truck is equipped with a JBL system and when he mentioned JBL I knew it would be AWESOME! And it is!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from A fair improvement in sound, crappy battery The sound quality is a definite improvement over an already good speaker. The addition of the midrange speakers add a definite depth of field. The only downside is the battery. They apparently used the same battery as the Boombox 2 because I get 25% more life out of a 2.5 year old Boombox 2 battery than a new one

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Beware Battery Life! I purchased this last week (7/16/23) before our beach trip. This speaker lasted roughly 5 hrs on 3 separate occasions (beach and pool). Audio sounds amazing but you’ll be left hanging midway through the party. Not worth $$$$

Rated 5 out of 5 by from DOES NOT LAST 24 HOURS, NOT EVEN CLOSE - UNDER 8 We bought this item directly from JBL as we purchased a Boombox 2 from amazon that only lasted 8 hours while playing music. It was not even at full volume. We thought purchasing from you we could trust we were getting a quality product. We were excited about the Boombox 3 and it did sound fantastic. Unfortunately it only lasted under 8 hours and the volume was at 75% while playing music. We were extremely disappointed and returned it. If we are going to spend close to $500 the product should live up to the hype you claim it has.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Awesome speaker I use it primarily on the beach when I'm boating. It sounds amazing and the battery lasts forever. My friends love it because they can easily Bluetooth connect to it. Truly a great product!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from 24hr is misleading. More like 2hrs if lucky. Not 24hr charge. I recently purchased one for my husbands birthday. We have used it twice and out of those times it only plays 2hrs and then dies, completely. Sounds is amazing, great design/build. However, I am highly disappointed in how mine is not lasting on a full charge.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Nice sound, struggles in the sun The sound on this speaker is big and detailed for the most part. That part is pretty awesome. However, when sitting in the sun, the metal handle absorbs A LOT of heat. Because of this, the speaker gets really hot in the sun. And it doesn’t have to be that hot, it has happened to me in mid 70s weather. When it gets too hot, the passive radiators on the side expand like a balloon. It affects the sound quality and the bass pretty dramatically. Because of this, you’re better off using the speaker in the shade or cooler areas. Which is interesting because of all the advertising of it sitting in the sun, hmmm… Also, I’m no engineer, but I feel like the racetrack subwoofer on the front should maybe be on the back of the speaker or something, so that the vibrations can resonate off the walls when placed in front of one? And then the tweeters probably shouldn’t be stacked directly on top of the mid speakers? Idk, just a suggestion I guess. Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy the sound and looks of this speaker in general. I just feel that when it comes to tech specs this speaker could be a little better with its size and space available on it. And not to mention the price…
