    This speaker is not for the weak. Base is really hard !! Please use EQ in the app . My first use was half court basketball gym . It was perfect by itself. Battery life is what they say ,its great I can't imagine 2 of these things together. It delivers the bass you can't hear from other speakers. The only thing .get the shoulder strap. This thing gets heavy.. love it..

    Needed something for the party, and it didnt take long to realize these were top notch. But trying them had me blown away; the sound reproduction is premium, the bass makes you feel like the speakers are working some magic to be able produce such good sound, the speakers retain the sound compression and do not distort at high volumes so you get a clear sound even when you want the most out of the speakers. I was able to turn a simple gathering (babyshower) into the place to be (the club) just with this, at 60% volume. The JBL logo really stands out and gives you the feeling that all this tech is well protected with a water resistant cover, and a sleek design. Im impressed.

    Incredible Surprise

    After enjoying nearly 20 years with my BEATBOX PORTABLE. Yes. I managed to keep the one product I spent $400$ on once upon a time for much longer than anyone anticipated, I came upon this item. After back and forth arguments in my mind about it… I came to the conclusion nothing will match that experience. So I made a choice to experience a new company. I’ve used JBL in past however not on this scale. At $500$ retail I wanted something with just as much as if not more hootzpah than the Beatbox Portable. Dr. Dre serviced my ears with great sound for 2 decades in several different varieties as I still own and use my Studio cubed headphones that I purchased in 2009. Which by the way I prefer to the newer StudioPros that aren’t anywhere near improved to the point one would have expected. Happily I found JBL to be in my wheelhouse of options. I say happily as I went through several other companies to be let down by the “over priced under provided” sense of failure they offered. JBL never let me down before and having spent just two weeks with this product I know for fact this is remaining mine. Funny enough Best Buy offered an extra two weeks to mull over my decision. Graciously enough I haven’t the need to ponder a second longer. This was a most apt Christmas present to myself. With the sale of $100$ off retail… I capitalized on gifting myself the chance to dollar for dollar make no more than the purchase I made on the BBP by DRE. I would say I bought up even if you take out the fact of this being nearly 2 decades newer than what I had. JBL has become my go to for sound and because of my happiness with this product it led me to purchasing a set of headphones for my son from JBL and he loves them. Pleasantly surprised and never going back to Beats. Sorry DRE. Maybe you should have kept making the Beatbox. Oh and by the way… this thing is extremely heavy and dwarfs my BBP. JBL FOR THE RESOUNDING VICTORY. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. May all of your 2024s be as awesome as mine.

    10/10 purchase! … Pros: Great clear sound Good bass. Fast charging. Can chain other JBL speakers together. Durable. Decent length charging chord. Bluetooth connectivity has great range - I’ve walked 50+ yards from my speaker with my phone and it doesn’t skip or lose connection. … Cons: Battery life at 3/4 volume or higher doesn’t last super long - But it does charge fast. Doesn’t play notification sounds you get from your phone - Unless your phone is in your pocket and you feel it vibrate you won’t know you got a notification. It is a little expensive - but you are literally getting $450-$500 worth of quality speaker from a great brand. … Not a lot of big issues I’ve found since buying it. … 10/10 recommend for people who work in shops or need a speaker that is loud and has great clarity.

    JBL doesn’t disappoint. These speakers are great, battery lasts a decent amount of time, the sound quality is top, the bass is great even at higher volumes. The price, could be better.

    When I got to Best Buy i immediately realized how big it was, not in a bad way what so ever it’s a bit on the heavy side but man let me tell you that is literally the only downside to this king of Bluetooth speakers on the market right now. The sound quality is on a whole different level the bass will shake whichever room you are in comfirmed. And the build quality is very premium I was worried about buyers remorse for the price at 4.99.99 but now that I’ve had the pleasure of using one myself instead of watching reviews I am very satisfied with this product would recommended 10/10 to get one!!!

    After researching many brands out there in the marketplace. The winner! I love this speaker it plays all types of music loud and clear a bit heavy but not that bulky. But either way you can take it anywhere and you enjoy the music they way you want it loud, clear, bass hitting or not, you can tweak the EQ in the JBL app. It’s a bit pricey but you get what you pay for.

    I bought this speaker after my UE hyperbole stopped working after about 2 years. On this speaker the Bass and quality sounds good and speaker battery seems to last forever, this is a hefty speaker that feels built solid. I am definitely happy with my purchase

    This is my third JBL speaker, each time I upgraded. All of them have exceeded my expectations, except this one…the Boom Box blew me away!! This is by far the best wireless speaker I own. The bass is phenomenal. Sound quality superb! JBL quality is felt when you open the box and lift this up. And the battery life? Well…EXCELLENT! I got this when it was $50 cheaper on sale. I’d still pay the full price, it’s worth it!

    I recently had the pleasure of experiencing the JBL Boombox 3, and I must say, it's an absolute game-changer in the world of portable speakers. From its powerful performance to its sleek design, this speaker truly exceeded my expectations in every way possible. First and foremost, the audio quality of the JBL Boombox 3 is exceptional. The dual JBL woofers and tweeters deliver a crisp and well-balanced sound, with deep bass that will leave you in awe. Great product.

    Everything is 10 times better about this speaker compared to other JBL speakers I've had in the past MINUS the battery light doesn't stay lit so it's a surprise when it dies and sometimes it loses it's connection, but that has happened a lot less than I anticipated after reading reviews prior to purchasing it. Overall it's a great speaker and I'm happy with it.

    Best bluetooth speaker, awesome sound and the bass is incredible. battery life is good for the size of the speaker, i used it several times for a few hours before i needed to recharge. a little heavy but the handle comes out handy, wish it would come with a shoulder strap or carrying case for the price. the charger is better than the previous generation, just one cord instead 2 separate ones. The app comes handy to adjust the sound and update the firmware. I have a JBL soundbar system and a friend had the boombox 2 so I knew I had to get one but I went for the 3 instead.

    This was the second jbl boom box ive purchased, both as gifts for family memebers. And they both love them. My nephew plays his endlessly and my sister takes hers with her everywhere she goes. Personally, having owned jbl products before in the past, ive iust kinda remained loyal to the brand with zero regrets. Durable, long lasting, incredible sound, i cant think of any negatives. Would definitely buy again.

    The boombox sounds exceptional for its size, excellent bass. A portable Bluetooth speakers that you can take anywhere & can be controlled via phone & a corresponding app. I do recommend a carry case {hard-case} just because, we found one made especially for this device.
