Customer Ratings & Reviews

I didn’t get to test a demo model in store so the whole unit is a complete surprise. It’s bigger than I thought it would be. It comes with a carrying strap and it’s because it’s that big. The strap works perfect and it is very important part of the speaker. The photo shows the size next to a standard pen. The battery life is great and compared to other speakers I’ve owned even JBL models it last a very long time. The Bluetooth link up is super easy and after you turn it on the link up is instantaneously. The sound quality is what you would expect from JBL. The bass is very noticeable and the highs are crisp. I’m giving it 4 stars because it’s not very loud. Don’t get me wrong it’s loud but due to the size of it you would think it would be louder. I’ve had several JBL charges and for the size they are loud. Comparing to the Charge and the name Extreme this things should be LOUD but it’s not. If I was able to test it before I purchased it I probably would have looked into louder units.

Speaker is great always loved the jbl sound quality 350 dollars is a little to much for this speaker it use to be 300 for the xtreme models but guess they up the price on them everything is basically the same as the xtreme 2 just the xtreme 3 has better control over the bass where the bass isn't overpowering the sound it's more balanced Xtreme 3 •louder •balanced Xtreme 2 • slightly more bass • bass can overpower sound witch can make the sound less

Rhe extreme 3 is a great speaker. Especially when you are looking for something a little louder than the flip series. Great connectivity features JBL AURA cast is a game changer. AREAL + It Also comes with a solid usb-c charger!!

The bass sounds very good. This was a good buy. I would recommend this mode JBL at the very least. I like the carry straps that come with it, the USB C charger.

This a good portable bluetooth speaker. Battery lasts a long time. Has a strap to carry everywhere. The only thing is that it could be a little bit louder.

Good speaker to connecto your for surround sound. The sound is powerful coming out that little speaker.

Very good PRODUCT i love it the quality is just PERFECT

I love the portability, sound quality, ease of connectivity, and excellent battery life. It sounds WAY better than the Alexa device it replaced and streaming from my phone is super easy. Haven't had a single connectivity issue yet. The only knocks against it would be price and the way it sits on it's little nubbins. I with it had a proper stand to make it more stable, especially when placing it on the ground. If you are looking at this device and can find it on sale, I would definitely recommend.

I already owned the JBL Charge 5 which is a surprisingly great little speaker. I work as an outdoor children's entertainer, and I needed a speaker with a bit more volume and bass than the Charge 5. Well this speaker delivers in that department for sure. It's got an overall more full sound for sure. But there is still something that I love about that Charge 5. The Charge 5 seems to have more clarity than this one, but I'm still preferring the Extreme 3 overall. My only real complaint about the Extreme 3 is that it doesn't come with a handle strap, only a shoulder strap. And there is no case like the the Charge 5 came with. JBL should sell a case AND handle strap as accessories if they can't afford to include them in the box. I ended up using my old bowling ball bag/case for the speaker, and buying a strap that I found on Amazon. This is an awkward speaker to pick up with one hand only, so it really should have come with a handle!

This speaker is very solid. It is made well and is definitely water resistent, as it was used in a warm westher rain storm the very first weekend I made the purchase. It charges very quickly and I was able to get several hours of listening time over a two day weekend, without having to recharge it. The Bluetooth is very easy to set up and works very well even when walking around and not staying close to the speaker. The only downfall, if I can call it that, although the speaker has good bass...I expected it to be able to have a little more volume. It is a little quiet for the money. Overall, very solid piece and I am happy with the purchase.

I upgraded my JBL Extreme 2 for the JBL Extreme 3. The 3 has 5 watts more per channel than the 2,so it’s a little louder. The sound is more open than the 2,with less bass giving it more of a neutral sound. It’s also lighter than the 2. The only thing I’m upset about is that Best Buy increases the extended warranty from $49.99 to $89.99. I guess they were having a lot of returns before the 2 yr warranty expired. JBL really has to work on making a product that lasts,especially the battery which seems to always go bad after 2 yrs. I declined the warranty this time so if this speaker goes bad at the 2 yr mark I will be changing brands.

Sounds great! It definitely packs a punch for it's size. Was comparing few speakers and this one beat out some that are bigger in size. Favorite thing about this speaker is that at max volume it doesn't distort with bass or anything. I don't like that its Bluetooth connectivity is only for music. I use it for work so when a call comes in I have to connect my headset device.

I have used this speaker nearly every day. It’s holds a charge for a long time. I have dropped it in the ocean while on a jet ski and it still works!!

This is a great speaker for the outdoors and super sturdy. However it seems only slightly louder than the flip speaker. I'm still satisfied with my purchase as the sound is full and the bass is great. Definitely does the trick for camping and boating.

This portable device features a fast charging capability, allowing for quick power-ups on the go. It is equipped with a loudspeaker that delivers clear and powerful sound, making it ideal for small party events and gatherings. Its lightweight design ensures easy transportation, whether you're traveling or simply moving from room to room. Additionally, the device has a stable connection, with only occasional disconnections.

The speaker is great, battery life, portability, volume. It does everything really good.

Great for a portable Bluetooth speaker in close range. Not worth $350 in our opinion. Great quality of sound. Loved the usb charging other device option. Would be great to take to picnic or beach. We needed a larger PA speaker so we returned it for the Sony SRS-XP 700.

Has good sound and battery life, but honestly I feel it’s over priced even with $100 off. I really do not like the shoulder strap at all and I would rather have just a little handle on it. I’ll be rigging some thing up myself.

This speaker has great base and the sound is clear. It’s the perfect size to play inside or outside. Not all speakers give you that base. I bought another brand (Bose) and had to return it because the songs I was playing, didn’t sound right without the base in it.

Bought this to replace an older JBL portable speaker. This one is much bigger and louder. It sounds pretty good but I do think it's probably about $100 over-priced. It would be a good purchase at $250 and a great purchase at $200, but $350 is steep for what you get. Either way, I still like JBL products.
