The Box has BOOM!
on September 4, 2022
Posted by: Rainbo11
from Windsor, CO
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The JBL boombox 3 is a fun addition to any trip, get together, or just to use chillin’ around the house. I absolutely enjoy the music spewing out of this boombox 24/7. The sound quality is exceptional! The box has BOOM! I love the handles that keep it in your hand even when it’s wet. The fact that this boombox is waterproof is amazing! We sat by the pool. It got splashed on and wet. No problems. It also has an amazing battery life of 24 hrs of play! That is unheard of! I tested the theory, and it is true. There are a couple of things that keep this from being a 5 star review. I was so excited to connect my boombox 3 with my party box. It’s not possible. The other thing about the JBL boombox 3 is that it is very heavy. Even though it’s compact and easy to travel with, it’s hefty. It is definitely quality material, but not easy to carry for someone of my small stature. Overall, the JBL Boombox 3 is impressive, loud, full of bass, and a great asset to have. I love hosting and this helps!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Near Perfect Speaker for Any Situation!
on August 24, 2022

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Outstanding sound and portability that keeps the party alive. From the packaging, to the close attention to details, the speaker is close to perfect. Very pronounced booming low frequency bass notes with crispy highs, almost any type of media played sounds great.
Sound Quality: Booming bass that has enough volume to shake the surface it’s set on, to crispy highs that can be heard from a good distance. The audio quality is near perfect for any use. Indoors, the speaker proves to be the center of attention with its very punchy bass where as outdoors it’s drowned out at higher volumes by the mids and highs, although still sounding great. A/C Power mode takes the already great sound to now louder and punchier space providing extra power to the drivers.
Build Quality: Rugged, Waterproof, and Trustworthy.
The high quality materials is noticeable at first touch. The handle seems very stiff and study. The rubbery ribbed base provides a good amount of contact to any surface to keep the speaker steady. Water resistance is a key feature of the speaker. Providing ease of mind in outdoor environments. Although being waterproof, there is noticeable audio disconnections while being slightly submerged.

Packaging: Keeping it simple and productive, there is very minimal amounts of items included in the box. The speaker, charging cord and provided manuals is all to expect once opening the box. Clean and strait to the point is always a good thing, allowing the music to start sooner!
Overall: The JBL BoomBox 3 provides pounding low notes while keeping the music clear and understandable at all volumes. Standing out in any situation, the speaker keeps you charged up with the USB port on the rear allowing you to keep the music going, not to mention the 24 hour long battery lifespan per charge. Grab the speaker and go, it’s ready for whatever you throw at it!

Massive sound in a portable design.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've used quite a few JBL products in the past, and this one fills a gap that I had. I have a Partybox 310 that I use for my main sound/music for the house, and I've used Flip or Charge speakers for travel/pool party/bedroom music. I love the small portable speakers but sometimes you just need MORE. This Boombox 3 can pretty much do it all. If this was my main house speaker, it could fill the room easily. If you need it for a portable party, it's perfect. Backyard tunes, bbq time, it's good for all of it. Deep bass, clear sound and did I say crazy loud if you need it? Also insanely long lasting battery life. Only thing it can't do is travel. Because of size, this isn't practical for putting in a suitcase to take on vacations. I've included a picture of it next to my Flip 6 so that you can see a size comparison. As far as connectivity, it's as easy as it gets. I'm an Android user and it paired immediately with my phone and my Chromebook with no drops or stutter at all. The handle is comfortable to transport it around. It does way around 20 pounds but it's not anything unmanageable. Overall the sound is fantastic and for the size, this thing is pound for pound the best, loudest speaker I have in a quickly portable package. I highly recommend it.

Just… wow!

from Concord, CA
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Incredible is the word that comes to mind first. So, upon unboxing I was floored with the cool design, handle, and overall style of a modern day boom box (I grew up with tape cassette/CD player boom boxes…). It was super easy to pair with my phone and my Apple TV and I started to play some of my favorite tracks right away. Started with hip-hop, moved on to some rock, and then finished up with some R&B. The quality in sound is amazing. Clear, crisp, and the bass is so smooth and deep. I also watch television and movies with it connected and it makes the experience so much better. The sound is just SO good. Out of all of JBL products I own, this is by far my favorite. Looking forward to hosting some gatherings and being asked about it.

Weak Battery
on December 21, 2022
Posted by: MetalEnthusiast
Great sound quality and bass but if you have it turned all the way up it only lasts 3.5 hrs
By Customer Support, December 21, 2022
Our JBL Boombox 3 offers up to 24 hours of playtime. The battery life could also depend on how the speaker is used based on the music content and its loudness. If the speaker does not meet the advertised playtime hours even at low to medium volume levels, there may be a problem with the unit's battery. Please contact our customer service so that we may assist you.

3rd addition to the Boombox line. Worth it.
on December 21, 2022

from SF Bay Area
I had a Monster Sound blaster from 2016-17. I thought the sound from that boom box would never be matched. As time went on, it lost its ability to keep a charge. I needed another boombox and did some research. After reading a few reviews, I decided to look at JBL's boomboxes. The boombox 2 popped up. I read about it and thought...why not. It had good reviews. Then I heard that there was a boombox 3. I figured it was a little pricey, but, if they were charging this much, they were confident in their product. Man....was I pleasantly surprised. I never heard such solid, tight bass from a portable. They added a subwoofer to boombox 3. Add to that the nice midrange, with crisp, sparkling highs. I'm sold. While the Monster was my introduction to Bluetooth boomboxes...and an awesome one, the boombox 3 took it to another level. If you're willing to spend the extra money, the boombox 3 is well worth it.

A fair improvement in sound, crappy battery
on July 25, 2023
Posted by: Craigbe1
The sound quality is a definite improvement over an already good speaker. The addition of the midrange speakers add a definite depth of field. The only downside is the battery. They apparently used the same battery as the Boombox 2 because I get 25% more life out of a 2.5 year old Boombox 2 battery than a new one

Great Bass. TERRIBLE BASE

The base of the unit is aweful. Always tips over and rolls around. Serious design flaw.
