    Great sound, but wasn't performing well outside in the sun. Volume started to lower itself automatically as time went on, which was annoying. Returned it and kept my Boombox 2.

    Sound is great but battery life is not. I can charge for more than 12 hours and the most time I have gotten out of it is 3hrs max. Very inconvenient for the price.

    JBL stands for Junk Battery Life.

    Junk battery life for the boombox 3 anyway. What a disappointment this boombox turned out to be. When you play the music volume to near max to max volume, it drains the battery so fast that you can only get 4 hour usage of it at that high level. It’s suppose to have 24 hour usage or was it a typo? I don’t even need the 24 usuage, I would’ve been completely satisfied if the boombox could last for 8 hours at that high volume. It’s unfortunate that I tested this out far too late, I would’ve return this. Definitely do not recommend.

This may vary depending on volume and music content. If the speaker doesn't meet the advertised playtime hours even at low to mid-volume levels, there could be a problem with the battery of the unit. Please contact our Customer Support, so we can assist you. JBL

    I bought open box excellent. The speaker itself was in good shape, but did not come with the power cord. My only option was to return the item to get a different one. Best buy couldn't send me a $10 power cord? Impressive.

    Loud

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Well its loud and bass is decent. Battery last a good 3-4 hrs and 5 hrs if when you see the red blinking light you turn it down . Now that 3-4 hrs this thing is like max volume or at least 75% because im using it at work and max is to loud .. im also using the app and the eq is set to max base and max mid level and treble normal. Its heavy and uses a outdated cord takes a while to charge but if you pay attention you can get a quick charge for like 30 mins and you are good . Last thing is i had it on outside in a normal Neighborhood and it was like 10am and i was bbq and i only had it like 65% up maybe 70% turned up and my neighbors of like 15 or more years called the cops on me and the cop told me i had to turn it off because of complaints. I was hearing a band called Within The Ruins

    This item caused a "Best Buy double charge"

    I am not sure how the speaker works yet, but I don't recommend purchasing online from Best Buy. They double charged my bank account $423 and now I won't have access to those funds (for x-mas shopping) until at least 3 more days when it either drops off my pending transactions or I dispute it. Thank goodness I had enough money to cover it or they would have over drafted my account. The help chat had no real help to give me except to say the double charge "should" drop off.
