JBL claims the Boombox 3 has a 24-hour battery. These claims are pretty accurate, and it’s very impressive. The JBL Boombox 3 also has slightly louder power output as compared to the JBL Boombox 2 when connected on AC power and has a power output of 180W compared to the Boombox 2’s 160W. Having said that, the JBL Boombox 3 and Boombox 2 retain the same shape and design and battery life. Both speakers are IPX7 waterproof and are portable enough to be carried around, while the battery can double as a portable power bank for your smartphone and Bluetooth devices. The latest generation of the JBL Boombox, which Harman International Industries is now presenting in the form of the new JBL Boombox 3 at CES 2022 in Las Vegas, is said to offer pure, powerful JBL Original Pro Sound.
The JBL Boombox Series has been one of the most important products in the line-up of portable Bluetooth speaker systems from Harman International Industries for years, and this is also to apply to the new JBL Boombox 3, which the company presented at CES 2022 in Las Vegas at the beginning of the year. On the classic side of transducer technology, the JBL engineers leave no stone unturned: The Boombox 3 is designed as a 2.1 configuration. A central, approximately rectangular subwoofer with the amazing membrane size of 19 x 11.5 cm is supported by the passive membranes installed in the sides. 80 watts are available for the subwoofer path alone. The handle does add a significant amount of weight to the speaker, though. The Boombox 3 weighs 6.7kg, which is a substantial increase over the 5.9kg Boombox 2. It’s not surprising that the Boombox 3 is power-hungry and requires a mains connection for battery charging as well as for maximum power operation. Nevertheless, it needs a whopping 6.5 hours until an empty battery is full again. By default, the Boombox 3 is set to a bass-orientated configuration. You can EQ the sound to your liking within the JBL Portable app, but it’s limited in its capabilities. It’s a 3-band equaliser with one band dedicated to bass, midrange and high frequencies, respectively. While it allows you to adjust the sound to your preference, I would’ve liked more options here.Though it costs more than Tribit's Stormbox Blast, the 11.7-pound Rave Party 2 is a more attractively designed speaker and arguably sounds slightly better. Its two 4-inch woofers and two 2-inch tweeters deliver aggressive, punchy sound with enough volume to fill larger rooms (the Tribit's bass goes a little deeper, but I was pretty satisfied with this speaker's low-end capabilities). For even bigger sound, you can wirelessly link multiple Rave Party 2 and other Soundcore speakers that support the company's PartyCast 2.0 feature.
For outdoor use, I like the design of the Boombox 3 better than UE Hyperboom. The portable Bluetooth speaker is easier to carry around and just looks more like an outdoor speaker. It's also fully waterproof and dustproof with an IPX67 rating (the previous model was waterproof but didn't have a dustproof rating).
Sony WH-CH520 review
Like JBL's smaller Bluetooth speakers, the Xtreme 3 is a versatile boom box that can be stood up vertically or placed horizontally. Though a tad bigger than the Xtreme 2, at first glance it doesn't look much different from the previous model, but it does have upgraded sound with slightly better bass and clarity while actually weighing slightly less. Here are the key differences between the two speakers, according to JBL:
Features: water/dustproof according to protection class IP67, JBL Party Boost, powerbank function, equalizer, integrated power supply unit At 48.2 x 25.7 x 20.0cm, the Boombox 3 is long and combined with its weight; it makes for a relatively cumbersome device. It takes up a lot of space and is heavy to carry. Most of the time, I just left it in one spot. It isn’t designed for taking everywhere and is better suited to the occasional change of position.
The bass capabilities are impressive, delivering powerful and clean lower frequencies without sounding distorted. Midrange and high frequencies also sound clean. A weakness of a lot of portable speakers is the audio starts to sound tinny at higher volumes. The Boombox 3 does an excellent job of keeping the sound well-balanced and precise throughout the volume spectrum. As far as the comparison with Tribit’s challenger named Stormbox Blast was concerned, the first thing that amazed us was the Stormbox Blast’s tight performance for a significantly lower price – at least at moderate volume. Vocals sounded as pleasingly natural over both, and both also offered an exceedingly rich bass. But at medium levels, the JBL Boombox 3 seemed to ignite a kind of booster and set itself further and further apart as the volume increased. Quite obviously, JBL is not simply getting paid for the name here. There’s also a lot of oomph behind it. This makes the JBL Boombox 3 the ideal speaker for outdoor parties and events where you can blast music and dance to the beat of the music. We also found that the JBL Boombox 3 delivers slightly better clarity than the JBL Boombox 2 in terms of highs and treble ranges; the highs sound smoother and less recessed, and the midranges do not distort at higher volume levels. The Boombox 3 boasts an IP67 resistance rating, meaning the speaker is waterproof. It will survive being submerged in up to 1m of water for 30 minutes and is protected from dust. This means you can take it to the beach, use it at a pool party or wash it off in the sink without worrying about it getting damaged. To ensure this, the new JBL Boombox 3 has a particularly robust design. The JBL Boombox 3 is IP67 certified and therefore resistant to water and dust, so in principle it can be used in any environment and in all weather conditions.
