Q: QuestionI use the Extreme3 at my kid’s ballgames. It’s loud enough but just barely. Does the Boombox3 get louder, and if so, by how much? Specs don’t mean much to me, so I’m hoping for qualitative or comparative info. Thank you!

Asked 2 years ago by LoudvsExtreme3.

• A:Answer Our JBL Boombox 3 will be almost twice as loud as it has more speakers that produces more wattage compared to the Xtreme 3. The JBL Boombox has 1 subwoofer(80watts) + 2 midrange drivers (80watts) and 2 tweeters (20watts). While the Xtreme 3 has 2 woofers(50watts) and 2 tweeters(50watts).

Q: QuestionDoes jbl boombox 3 has microphone outlet?

Asked 3 years ago by Zani.

• A:Answer No it doesn’t have a dedicated mic input. However, it is technically possible to use a wireless battery powered mic plug-in module with an aux adaptor tip that downsizes from the standard 1/4” mic tip found on most adaptors. Unfortunately the volume of your voice with a wireless mic that comes with such an adaptor will be rather low compared to a PartyBox or Karaoke Box/PA system. Also, there is no Mic specific volume function on the Boombox to increase the sound of your voice. I am not sure if any wireless mic modules and mics have their own physical volume buttons that could increase the vocal sound through the boombox, but that may be worth looking into.

Q: QuestionJBL Boombox 3 has an Output power (Watts) of 1x80W RMS-subwoofer + 2x40W RMS-midrange + 2x10W RMS-tweeter. Is there any way to reach full output power on battery only? It defeats the purpose if can't reach full potential on battery. Anyway to bypass it?

Q: QuestionIs it completely safe to use the JBL boombox 3 while plugged in? When playing music with the speaker plugged in to AC, does it stops using the battery as a power source and only use the AC as a power source?

Asked 3 months ago by Huncho.

• A:Answer Yes perfectly fine to leave plugged in and save the battery. Essentially to ways you can use it . If the radio stays plugged in for years then I believe the battery life will have a shorter life.

Q: QuestionDoes the JBL boombox works on AC with battery removed? the battery is build in and I can't seem to find the replacement battery online I would like to know if the speaker will work on AC or charger only even if the battery is removed or dead.

Asked 3 months ago by Huncho.

• A:Answer Thanks for your question. Our JBL Boombox 3 is designed to operate in portable mode with its built-in battery, and it won't function without it. Replacing the battery can void the warranty and may affect its waterproof capabilities. If you're looking for a speaker that offers more flexibility with power options, we recommend checking out our latest models like the JBL Xtreme 4. It features both AC and battery modes, and the battery is removable, giving you more convenience and versatility.

Q: QuestionI do not see any mention that this speaker allows for Apple Airplay connectivity. This same speaker or named the same is on a competitors website touting this speaker as AirPlay WIFi capable? Puzzled why BestBuy is silent on this capability/

Asked 4 months ago by Brad.

• A:Answer Thanks for your question. Our JBL Boombox 3 mainly connects through Bluetooth and auxiliary inputs. If you want to stream music directly using AirPlay, you'll need a compatible device like an Apple TV or an AirPlay-enabled wireless speaker with an auxiliary output. Alternatively, if your AirPlay device supports Bluetooth output, you can connect it to the Boombox 3 via Bluetooth.
