Great speaker, but not completed

I bought this and a Charge 4 2 weeks ago with the intent on experiencing them first hand after watching hours of online content.
They do sound amazing and seem well built. These are replacements for Bose portable speakers and i was surprised to find that both JBLs were superior in every way to the Bose although the Bose is about 3 years old.
JBL needs to take care of some app issues. The functions promised by the app are one of the biggest reasons for deciding on JBL and I feel as though it falls short, way short. Like a group of kids created it for an IT project in their senior year.
Getting the two connected together has turned out to be a crap shoot by using the app. When ive invested 12 minutes of life with them resetting and reloading the app and they work they are wonderful.
Fortunately my phone will play two speaker devices without their app so most of the time i close the app and play them via the ultra 21 however two is all that it will play. Our plans were actually to buy two more pair totaling 6 of these for a RV retrofit we are working on but after the poor app and connectivity issues we are looking at different options. Perhaps if i were connecting an extreme to another extreme it would be flawless but technically i should be able to connect 3 charge 4s and 3 extremes. That is not the case so the PB310 we were planning on using for the subs in the RV is out of the question. Maybe future upgrades to the app will correct the issues but the speakers do sound great by themselves.

JBL... How many apps do you need anyway? Connect, portable, partyboost and thats three without looking at the play store.
I would recommend this to a friend!

NOT WATERPROOF!

from Houston, TX
Bought this speaker, used it for a outdoor family gathering it started drizzling and took the speaker inside to dry off how the directions said and stopped functioning.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
Response from jbl.comBy Jem at Customer Support, Customer Support, June 18, 2021
Thank you for taking the time to provide us with your feedback. The ports at the back of the speaker may have been exposed to water and caused the speaker to have a short circuit. Our JBL Xtreme 3 has an IP67 rating which means that it is waterproof and safe from dust, can be submerged up to a meter for 30 minutes without issue.

I loved this speaker!
on June 27, 2022

All JBL speakers are amazing! I had a Prius with JBL speakers and I was so bummed when I had to part ways. Since then I am loyal to JBL. I currently own the JBL Xtreme 3 and the Go 3. I am sad to say that the battery on the Xtreme has unfortunately died out. It won’t keep a charge anymore and I’m not sure why. Anyone else have this issue? I don’t want to get rid of it just yet and I just don’t have the money right now to replace it.

Sounds very sharp.. I can not hear the bass drum..

I have own my blue Xtreme3 for 1 year now, it works fine, but I have found that the Xtreme 3 sound very sharp and harsh... this is too bright sound to my ears, and I can not hear the bass drum as well.. Is this speaker too small so that it can't produce that sound (My friends who is an audio engeneer told me that small speaker can not produce the bass drum sound) or it's an accident? I had never drop my Xtreme3 into water before. Thanks! I am a fan of JBL.

We appreciate your feedback on our JBL Xtreme 3. We are sorry to hear that the sound quality of our JBL Xtreme 3 did not meet your expectations. You may want to enhance these speakers' audio output by using a 3rd party equalizer app which you can download from the Google Playstore or the Apple Store. Also, try to reset your Xtreme 3, with the speaker ON, press and hold the VOL+ and Pause/Play buttons for 5-6 seconds. The Xtreme shuts down and is now reset. You will need to 'forget' the speaker in Bluetooth settings on your phone/tablet in order to pair it again. If you have any questions or concerns about your device, please contact our Customer Support.

Work Great with Big and Small Groups
on August 13, 2022
Posted by: EventPlanner1001
from Orange County, CA
Ww organize training events ranging from 20 to 200 people, and we require different types of speakers for our events. This speaker works great for small events up to 50 people, and has the ability to connect to our mixer to connect our microphones and laptops via the AUX 3.5 mm connection.
We are extremely happy with the 100w output and the portability. In the past we used to carry heavier speakers to our events, and JBL Xtreme 3 has been a lifesaver.
We looked at various comparable models, but this speaker has functions that other speakers don't have.
Very highly recommended for indoor and outdoor use.

Extreme 3 Boom Box 3 and 2
on May 9, 2023

I love the waterproof rating. I listened to JBL since the 70's and they sound good. The Bose home smart speaker sounded better but I did not keep it either. Bose support needs attention and the need to update the bluetooth connection and get waterproof ratings updated. If the Extreme 3 had more base I would have kept it for portability. I hope an Extreme 4 is coming with more base!! I will buy it. I kept the Boom Box 3 because of sound quality, but can't put in backpack for traveling. The BoomBox 2 had more CLEAR base but no midrange. Please put the Boombox 2 subs (or 2 bigger ) in the Boom box 3, then you would have it!!!!!!!!
