Beautiful Sound

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Right out of the box, there was some juice on the battery. I easily paired my phone to the speaker and started blasting crystal clear sound from the speaker. I tried a variety of music that I like to listen to, from Country to Rock to Hip-Hop. The sound quality is amazing! Clean highs, clear bass notes hitting, and a pretty awesome mid-range sound makes this the perfect speaker that I plan to take on the boat next summer!
This speaker will go everywhere I plan to have a party, and hopefully I get a chance to pair it up for Party Mode with other JBL speakers via the PartyBoost link. I cannot get over how clear the sound quality is even at loud volumes where other speakers would start to distort. My next house party will be sounded by the JBL Xtreme 3!

One of the best portable speakers

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been using this speaker for close to two weeks now. It came shipped in a very well packed Jbl box. Upon opening I was presented with the well packaged Extreme 3 speaker and all of the accessories. It’s always a treat when you open an item from JBL. The presentation upon opening these products made by this company are some of the best. The speaker itself feels very sturdy and very well constructed. It includes the charging cable and a carrying strap which has a very thoughtful bottle opener on it. Great touch and idea in my opinion. The strap was fairly easy to put on and makes carrying the speaker fairly easy and lite. After charging the speaker I synced it to my iPhone. This speaker has Bluetooth 5.1. It connected right away with no issues. The speaker has great presence and has a very full, warm sound. I was in my basement and could still hear and slightly feel the music when I went upstairs for a quick drink, leaving the speaker downstairs and still playing music at about 40 percent volume. I played all different genres of music through the speaker and really enjoyed the sound quality. Playing some salsa music, you could hear all the instruments fluidly. Nothing overbearing or muffled. Clear and crisp without any hints of distortion. Very impressive at all volumes. I played some hip hop and r&b music and again it was very impressive. I then tried some test tones from an audio track which does sweeps of lower and higher end notes. The speaker has two small woofers which are 2.75” as well as two small tweeters. The speaker was able to produce lows with some authority which is very surprising and impressive for its size. Not bone shattering but you can hear and feel the low notes. It played the mids very well and had great highs. It is a very warm blend of the entire frequency range. if you load this speaker up by placing it in a corner you will get more low and midrange output out of it. I tried it in my bathroom on a tiled floor and this speaker slams! It does get loud!
I then tried the speaker outside. I have a very big yard and live on a busy street. I had the speaker positioned on the floor, about 25 feet away from where I was washing my car. I could hear it just fine over the traffic and noise from the hose from me washing my car. I also had a few kids trying to scream over the speaker but the extreme 3 one that battle. I felt very confident bringing this speaker outside. It’s sturdy craftsmanship makes it feel like it can take some abuse. A few falls and maybe an accidental kick into a pool. The back of the speaker has a very water tight cover that houses the 3 ports. One is for USB port for charging a device. Another is the usb-c port to charge the speaker and the other is an auxiliary in jack that is 1/8” headphone style jack. The bottom has rubber grips to help keep the speaker planted. Like I mentioned before. Very well throughout design and feels sturdy. The front has an led that works as a battery indicator. I love that this speaker has so much output and it’s battery operated. If you connect the power charging cord to it while it’s playing, it does sound a little more powerful. It’s loud and powerful enough to let it just run on battery power. Using the speaker for the two weeks I have had it, I have charged it twice running it down to a dead battery which took some time. I usually play it at around 3/4 volume for at least 3 hours a day. I bring it to work and play it conservatively at 1/4 volume. The battery is practically still charged at the end of an 8 hour shift. After two work days it’s at around 70 percent battery. It drains faster the louder you have it.
I have to say, the design of this speaker with its passive radiators and tubular shape makes for a great sounding speaker. I love watching the radiators move. They really help bring out the low notes. Never would of thought I would here 2.75” woofers go down to 52 hertz when I played the bass sweeps. I will be purchasing another one of these in the future so I can further utilize the party mode feature. This allows you to link two speakers together. This will be beneficial for when I have my pool parties. I usually have to lug a big ac powered speaker for my parties, but this speaker which is honestly 1/4 of the size and 1/8 the weight, and is also wireless, sounds better is just all around easier for me. You can even have two phones linked to it simultaneously. I am truly enjoying this extreme 3 speaker. Another great JBL product!

Nice travel speaker

from Bethlehem, PA, United States
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Received this a little over a week ago and have been putting it thru the test.
Sound quality is good but lacking the bass found in speakers of this price range.
Out the box, I was disappointed with the speaker, but after a full charge, I was surprised at the quality and the sound, minus the bass.
This speaker is extremely portablle, compact, and goes anywhere!
Would recommend this for people who are looking for a travel speaker and don't minds have a lot bass!

GREAT PORTABLE SPEAKER
on January 5, 2021

from Poughkeepsie NY
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I just got this speaker a couple days ago, and I love it. The strap it comes with is awesome if you ever want to throw it over your shoulder and take it on the go. Take this thing to the beach, take this thing camping, take it wherever you are headed and you won’t be let down. The sound quality on this speaker is great, however I do think it could get a little louder. The speaker has a cool, sleek design and is easily fits into a backpack or gym bag. However, the BEST part about this speaker is that it has a USB port in the back. You can use it to charge your phone or other devices, which to me is game changing. Highly recommend this speaker if you are looking for something to take with you on the go.

Perfect Everything

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] A great speaker when hanging out with friends. This is perfect to take when at the beach or for me on the disc golf course with my buddies. The sound quality and battery life are fantastic, a rugged speaker that lasts. I love how the bass fills a room, great for hanging with some friends or out by the grill. If you are on the fence do yourself a favor and go for it!!

Great sound and great base
on January 3, 2021
Posted by: Meghan
from Texas, United States
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Overall, I am really enjoying this speaker. It is slightly heavier than I thought it would be but it’s not too heavy. For the type of product this is I am very satisfied with the sound quality and the base quality. You can definitely feel the base from the speaker which I enjoy. I do wish that it had speakers on the back of it. Since it is round it would be cool if sound came out on both the front and back instead of just the front. But I still love it, the sound quality, and love that it has an added strap!
