JBL Boombox 3 Wireless Bluetooth Speaker, Portable Waterproof Speaker with Indoor and Outdoor Modes, 24 Hours Playtime, in Black

Product Information

The vocals sound clear and don’t compete with the bass for attention; we note just a minimal amount of sibilance. Simply put, if you want to outfit your backyard with powerful sound, the Boombox 3 offers an unmatched size-to-power ratio, earning our Editors' Choice award. The JBL Portable app is incredibly simple to use, and includes a helpful user guide for the speaker in case you don’t want to dig around for the manual that comes in the box.

It has a long 30-hour battery life and gets pretty loud with little compression present at max volume, so it can fill a big space with clear-sounding audio. The EQ is simplistic, with just five positions for the Bass, Mid, and Treble bands, but it’s better than nothing and still allows for fine-tuning. New: A brand-new, unused, unopened and undamaged item in original retail packaging (where packaging . Since it can play stereo content, you can hear a separation between the left and right channels when listening to music recorded in stereo. Its waterproof and dustproof design and deep bass performance are always ready for all day listening at home or on the go.

The JBL Boombox 3 Wi-Fi speaker incorporates post-consumer recycled plastic and recycled fabric for the speaker grille.

Stream high-definition audio content, including 3D Dolby Atmos, over Wi-Fi for a rich, immersive music experience that makes it feel like you’ve just stepped into the middle of a concert. If the item comes direct from a manufacturer, it may be delivered in non-retail packaging, such as a plain or unprinted box or plastic bag.The JBL app does offer EQ controls to let you fiddle with this, but they are fairly rudimentary and weak. And unlike the step-down JBL Xtreme 3 there’s no shoulder strap, just a giant metal handle with rubbery strips underneath for extra grip.

The lower-register instrumentation sounds relatively natural and in balance with the bright, higher-register brass, strings, and vocals. And it is not the kind of speaker I’d want to have rooted in my living room, largely because of how it looks. Used for the speaker alone, JBL says you can expect a charge to last up to 24 hours at moderate volume. And with 24 hours of battery life, you can play music 'til the sun goes down—and comes back up again—before you'll need a recharge.

It even floats in water, so you don't need to worry about accidentally knocking it into the pool at your next pool party. Our JBL Boombox 3 comes with a one-year warranty excluding damage resulting from abuse, accidents, modifications, or other causes that are not defects in materials and workmanship (loss or theft). Following user feedback, we retested the speaker's Dynamics performance to confirm that it doesn't get as loud as the JBL Boombox 2. Although the speaker’s rumble focuses above the sub-bass range, it certainly reaches down and provides some subwoofer-like rumble.

The JBL Boombox 3 is more than a speaker; it's a versatile sound system that elevates your music and entertainment, no matter where you are. The Anker Soundcore Motion+ is a good alternative if you don’t plan on taking the speaker outdoors but still want a loud speaker for indoor use. I only bring this up because the JBL Boombox 3 Wi-Fi is more likely to be used as folks’ main home speaker than previous models in the series, thanks to its Wi-Fi features and multi-room chops. It gets loud enough for big spaces, and you can customize its warm default sound profile with a 3-band EQ in its companion app.By continuing you confirm you have read the Insurance Product Information Document and that this policy meets your demands and needs.
