Amazing Speaker
I bought this personalized speaker a few weeks ago. As usually for myself, but the kids take it more often than I get to use it. Love the sound quality that comes out of it and how easy it is to connect to. We have a trip coming up in a couple months that we will use it with a couple other ones that come along with family to link them. I can’t wait to hear what multiple will sound like.

Powerful medium sized speaker with a perfect battery life
I wanted a speaker that wasn't too large or too small for my patio and kitchen. This speaker is perfect. It really has alot more bass then I anticipated. You can adjust the sound settings using the JBL app in case it's too much. Overall battery life has been fantastic. I played this at 60/70% volume when I went down the shore averaging around 5 hours of playtime a day and it still showed at least half if not more of its battery by the end of the trip.

I use this alongside an LED projector to project Karaoke words and play music for people living with dementia to join in and sing along. They love it!
The fact that this connects via Bluetooth to the projector and that I can use the JBL app to control the tone of the speaker makes it invaluable for this purpose and it sounds great. I have also used it for outdoor meetings and music playback and the response was fantastic. Thanks Harman and JBL!

Great sound and great base
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!

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.

I checked out some other brands for comparison before making my decision to try the Extreme3. In the end it won out for me. It was close but the waterproof & dustproof features helped sway me. The sound is awesome for it’s size & you can take it anywhere. I use it indoors & out. It sounds great everywhere & the battery lasts me for days. I also thought about the boombox2 but decided it was a bit too large. After playing it though I might have to come up with an excuse to get it as well.

I ordered this speaker last week, I just received it, I've had it for only 2 days, and Love It! Worth every dollar. The technology behind All JBL products is Incredible. I own the(550 Live) headphones and JUST purchased the new Flip 6 today. The Extreme 3 is Extremely powerful and delivers clear, clean vocals, deep bass, and is compatible with the JBL APP, offering an EQ. If you want 'The One', this IS it.

Better than expected!
Nice "little" portable speaker with great sound. The Extreme 3 is easy to carry around thanks to the strap and is very light for its size. The sound is very good, it fills up my kitchen, dining room and living room with music without issues. Once the Extreme 3 is connected to a power outlet I noticed a good bump in sound. The speaker can charge your smart phone via the USB-C port so that's a nice feature. This speaker is definitely good for a small get together or outdoor gathering without bothering your neighbors. I like bass and I just wish it had a bit more but overall it's a great speaker with very good sound.

Work Great with Big and Small Groups
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.

Absolutely the stupidest marketing campaign ever. They offer you TEXT but then put their logo/branding on top to completely obscure what is under it. It looks hideous.

Nejasno
Jos uvijek cekam da primjer ovog modela xtreme 3 dode kod mene što je uskoro. Ali vidim neka nerealna ocekivanja nezadovoljnih kupaca. Puno usporedbe sa prvim modelom kao da ima vise basa. Ja sam slusao pozorno na modelu xtreme 3 je bas mozda slabiji za pola nijanse ali je cisci i precizniji zvuk u odnosu na xtreme 1. Jedina velika mana za mene na tako vrhunskim zvucnicima je to da trajanje baterije nije dobro rasporedeno. Evo primjer. Jedan charge 5 traje puno dulje od veceg xtreme modela. Ili boombox traje 24 sata dok xtreme 15. A flip 5 12 sati. A hvala bogu cijene su ekstremno za svaki model skuplje pa bi volio da xtreme 3 na primjer traje barem 18 sati ako boombox moze 24 sata trajat.

Good speaker, horrible app
The speaker has the features I needed. I can listen at work at the job site all day and charge my phone as well. However the app will not update the firmware on my device or to access the equalizer; I tried with several devices. The bass could be better for how large the speaker is but is satisfactory . The treble seems to become tinny at the highest two volume settings. The quality of construction is high. Its a bit pricey for what it is, but this is built like a tank!

Battery Length NOT even close
Have purchased many JBL products. genreally love them. however, I bought 2 Xtreme 3 in March 2022 from Amazon.
I have never been able to get more than 6.5 hours out of them at volume above 70% volume. that's LESS than half what JBL says you "can" get of 15hrs. DO NOT BUY IF YOU DESIRE ample volume and longer BATTERY LIFE and AMPLE SOUND. JBL customer service has been of no help resolving the situation. saying "results may vary". ouch.

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.

Sweet new features on the JBL Xtream 3
This is my third portable Bluetooth speaker and the second from JBL (the other being the JBL Link 500). I am very impressed by the Xtreme 3 with its quality of sound, versatility, utility, convenience, and ruggedness. The Xtreme 3 has beautiful sound quality, with impressive range, and nice clear bass sound that doesn't overpower the mids and highs.
Overall this product is nothing short of excellent! I haven't tested the waterproof features of the Xtreme 3, but if the videos are accurate, I do not think there will be any problem. The Xtreme 3 also comes with a very nice carry strap that makes it super portable and convenient. One of the nicest features of the Xtreme 3 is that charges via a USB C port. The nice thing about the USB C port on the Xtreme 3 is that I can also use it to charge my own devices - think iPod or iPhone for that matter.
I am taking the Xtreme 3 with me on my annual winter camping trip with the boys this coming weekend. It will be cold, so that will be a good test for the battery as the speaker will be playing 12-14 hours straight. I have a TACKLIFE T8 Starter that has dual smart USB outputs that I plan on using to charge the Xtreme 3 safely. As I am in charge of the tunes during camping, I’m going all in with the Xtreme 3.

The Most Versatile Portable Speaker
When looking for a new portable speaker I wasn't intending on spending $400 dollars on one. Reluctant at first I seen the speaker came with a strap, which is really a design I never thought I would use so often. Also, being able to have somebody else connect via Bluetooth whilst I'm still connected is very convenient. The battery life on this speaker is impeccable, I can blast it full volume all day with no problem. It chargers significantly fast as well, it comes with a fash charger that has good length. The sound on this speaker is crystal clear with no distortion. The bass is very impressive too and really gives the room your playing it in have an oomph. What really sold me on this $400 dollar portable speaker was the addition of it being waterproof and dustproof. Everything nowadays is just water-resistant and not truly waterproof. I'm 100 percent proud of this purchase.

I'm huge fan of the JBL speakers. I have a Flip,Charge, Xtreme 2 and recently bought a Xtreme 3. As the sound is great, im more disappointed in the fact I can't link my older speaker together. I was excited to buy the 3 and couldn't wait to link to the 2 but sadly it doesn't link. No a happy customer

One of the best portable speakers
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!

I bought this a month ago, I really like it, the sound is spectacular. This is my review for the peoduct. Now, if we are talking about delivery, very disappointed. From 1 to 5 I would give 0 (zero). No message for delivery, no name on the missed delivery card. For your great name, I would suggest change the delivery company.

Not worth the Money...
For $350 this speaker should have more bass and more battery...
I'm very disappointed, this is the 3rd generation and it doesn't sounds extreme at all...
For indoor listening it's pretty pleasant; balanced and nice deep bass but for out door it's pretty mediocre. It does gets pretty loud but the bass leaves a lot to be desired...

Great Durability and Amazing Audio
The JBL Xtreme 3 has great sound quality, amazing Durability, and is an overall amazing speaker. To get straight to the point of this review, I'd like to say that for those who are accustomed to the JBL lineup, this speaker follows in the footsteps of previously generations. What I mean by that is while it still excels in key categories that previous generations have, it also lacks in key categories like previous generations have! For it's strengths, the Xtreme 3 has loud, detailed, and bassy sound quality as to be expected from JBL. It also features a gorgeous new design, a more user friendly waterproofing seal, and finally a USB-C charging port! Those are all great features but JBL still lacks on some new technological advancements. One of those being the charging output of the speaker is limited to 10w USB charging and 7.5w USB-C charging. For most people, this wouldn't affect their decision but as someone who has a phone capable of being charged at 45w, the 7.5w charging is miniscule. Another downfall of JBL's lineup is the lack of the “previous track” button combo. This feature has been missing on JBL's bluetooth speakers since the very beginning but it becomes evermore frustrating after every generation that goes by. To top this off, JBL comes out with a new pairing mode to connect with other JBL speakers almost every generation that lacks backwards compatibility! I have purchased generations of JBL's lineup and it's frustrating that I can't connect my new Xtreme 3 to my original JBL BoomBox, my Charge 4, my Flip 4, or my original Xtreme. This is the main contributing factor of why I no longer purchase bluetooth speakers and why I've transitioned almost exclusively to smart speakers! Most (if not all Google Assistant powered smart speakers offer the backwards compatible connecting feature that JBL lacks. In my best advice, if you don't need your speaker to be portable; please look at smart speaker lineups first. They will do you well in the long run!

Awesome Bluetooth speaker.
Jbl extreme 3 is an improvement from the jbl extreme 2. The only issues I have noticed are that, one, the battery life of the JBL extreme 3 doesn't last as much as the extreme 2 and lastly, there is no enough bass at max volume. Overall, the speaker is worth the money you pay for.

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.

Good Speaker When Working, Bad Customer Support
For Christmas 2021, we purchased an Xtreme3 speaker for our family with the intend to use it in a hockey locker room for my son’s team. The speaker was primarily used on Saturday/Sundays during the winter months and a small amount in the spring and summer.
We called in December of 2022 about a charging issue and was told that it was fully charged and there was nothing to worry about. When plugging in the speaker last night, we found that it was not charging and it was blinking red. After trouble shooting, checking outlets/connections, other chargers, cleaning ports, and doing a factory reset we were still unsuccessful on gaining a charge.
This morning I called Customer Service, and after 55 minutes on the phone was told that they only had a 1 year warranty and it expired in December of 2022. They have no record of my call in December and said that they would give me 35% off a new speaker.
At that point I asked to speak to a manager, and after waiting for 30+ minutes I was told that the best they could do was send me an email by the end of the day. We also have 4 Flip5’s and other JBL’s in our house and expected a better response when you spend $379 on a speaker.

Do not buy
I bought an extreme 3 14 months ago. Used less than 10 times and will not take a charge anymore. 350 wasted and JBL will not do anything. Do not waste your money on this product. My unit has no damage and looks brand new. Terrible support of product. I fully understand if I damaged product but battery and charging system is junk!!!

Rugged and powerful
This is a super heavy duty bluetooth speaker, born to be taken with wherever you go. It is rugged and robust, can take a few knocks and splashes and still keep going. And going. The battery life is awesome!! Its definitely solid in form, and pumps out some pretty good volume but still retains the clarity of sound you expect at this price point. Its dustproof and waterproof which means its safe for the beach or lake outings.
I liked the added bonus of the newer USB charging option so I don't have to mess around with different cables while traveling and I can give my phone a bit of extra juice straight from the speaker if I really need it.
I think this might be a bit of overkill for your average home speaker, but it is perfect for summer beach parties, camping and tailgating - although the neighbors might not love it, you will!
Highly recommend as a speaker to take with you while you are out there living life.

Far too expensive for the sound
I thought at $350 I would be getting a huge upgrade from my Flip 4. I really didn’t feel like it was that big of an upgrade for the price. I expected there to be some kind of bass response with a speaker this large but there was barely any. I returned it and plan to get a Block Rocker.

Great for long walks and bike rides
I believe harran out did themselves on this speaker. Not only can it pump out impressive sound all day long it’s ideal for those who enjoy out door activities. Personally I wear the speaker like a satchel and the grooved strap keeps it from flipping over to my front side. if you own a boom box 2 and pair it up with the extreme 3 you’ll notice how beautifully they complement each other. The thing about JBL you can never have enough and I’m looking forward to reviewing the charge 5!

Impressive design and sound
From the moment it came out of the box I as impressed by the design. A few weeks later I remain impressed with the features and sound. I started out a Charge 2 user and I really liked it's portability and sound quality for a smaller form factor. But it could be a bit underwhelming as an outdoor speaker. Not true for the larger Xtreme 3. Sound is well balanced and bass packs an extra punch. It is a little heavier then the charge but size makes might. The carry strap is nice with strong hooks so I would have no concern about slinging this over my shoulder and taking it out to the beach. The only larger offering is the boom box and which is considerably heavier and bulky. If your looking to choose the Charge or Xtreme, it really comes down to the size. Now that I have both, I feel like I will be grabbing the Xtreme far more often when going outside and using the Charge indoors when I'm working in the garage or my kids want to move around with a speaker.

Good besides reproducing treble!
There are a lot of complaints about the grinding of high frequencies. It is necessary to modify the SBC codec to two-channel, with the bitpool settings. Or apply the ability to use other codecs with higher bandwidth to improve sound quality. I ask you to transfer this to the department that is engaged in the development and updating of software. There are already cases of returning the Xtreme 3 due to this flaw!

balanced sound
JBL is a brand of quality and great speakers, Xtreme 3 disappointed me a bit with the bass component. But after a few days I got used to it, the sound is cleaner, the treble is excellent. bass could be more. What disappointed me is charging, the USB C is really great, but the speaker only manages to charge with a 65w charger, that the 45w charger cannot be charged during operation. I thought that Samsung's chargers would be compatible, and everything would work. Unfortunately 45w is not possible.

I loved this speaker!
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.

JBL Extreme 3 delivers!
The JBL Xtreme 3 delivers! It feels like a callback to the days of boomboxes on shoulders. It has a decent heft and size to it, but the included strap makes carrying it a breeze. Its construction is solid and gives a premium feel. The battery lasts quite some time between charges; I'm not sure if I get the full 15 hrs promised, but it holds charge for multiple days of regular use before dying/battery light coming on. I wish I had another so I could utilize its PartyBoost feature; that would be an awesome capability to access.
Now the big question, how's it sound? I've got quite a few JBL products and I can say for certain it you like other JBL audio devices you'll like this one. It's got their touch to the audio for sure. I was hoping a little more depth from the bass, drops off any meaningful volume under 40hz (nerd speak here, it can't do REALLY really low sounds). That being said, the beauty in this speaker is in its default EQ and crossover. They really hit the nail on the head finding a setting that makes the bass very present and clear at any volume and still keeps all of its higher register fidelity. Translation? It makes everything you listen to clear crisp and lively and projects well.
Overall it's a solid speaker, my only issue with it currently (if I can even call it an issue) is it's so pretty, I don't want to get it dirty!! But that's what it's built for and it's been very easy to clean so far. I definitely recommend the JBL Xtreme 3.

Best Speaker I've Bought Yet
The speaker itself is quite possibly the best I've owned, it may not be worth the cost to upgrade for some, but if you are in the market for a new speaker this is a serious contender, the bass is heavy and for acoustics it is crystal clear
Have yet to test how durable it is (I don't intend to but it looks pretty solid the strap is nice and speakers sling to you nicer than I expected, its an interesting choice instead of a handle but I'm not against it

Simply amazing!
I bought this speaker with hopes of using it on the boat but also being able to use it around the house when not on the water. I am completely satisfied with the purchase.
When on the boat, the sound is great at 35mph and I have absolutely zero complaints. Moreover, I have found myself using it around the house more than expected. I use it when grilling and today used it when I was cleaning up the garage. The carrying strap is super useful and the battery life is exceptional. It charges relatively fast and lasts for the entire day with battery life still remaining.
Time will tell how long the battery will hold up and for this price I hope a very long tIme.
Overall, I am quite pleased. Nice product!

Its Great But.......Does not connect to older JBL
Got it to add to my JBL Xtreme and Charge 3. Does not connect to them. JBL has 3 versions of Connect, Connect + and PartyBoost. I updated firmware for the Xtreme and Charge 3, now none of them connect at all. My cheaper older Xrtreme is louder than the new Xtreme 3. If your wanted to add to your JBL collection, beware and get informed. If your buying your first JBL, than overall its a good speaker. I'll be returning mine.

This speaker totally blew me away on how loud and powerful this speaker is. I used the party boost button to link it to my other JBL speakers and was pleasantly surprised by how well the sound was delivered throughout my house covering both the high and low ranges of audio. The features on this speaker do set it above what’s currently on the market especially for the price. Last thing I will say about this speaker is that it brings the party wherever you bring it.

I have the 2nd and REALLY want the 3rd iteration!
Butt... what keeps me from making the jump (to be abe to hook my
Flip2, charge 3, x2 and x3 up in a symphony of utter madness is one glaring problem. The extreme series (and possibly newer models of other ones) have a deal breaker for me. They in an attempt to save battery (I can only assume) will cut power to the speaker only. The whole unit doesn't power down until 30 minutes have elapsed but if there is a (large) break in music or any silence in a movie especially if plugged into the aux the sound (or lack there of) will stop! Upon restarting when sound is detected it will effectively cut off the first part of a word or note of a song. Infuriating!!! I didn't notice this as it usually stayed playing music, but once I used it for a sound bar as mine had died I noticed and have ever since then as well!
Jbl please, please for the love of great sounding music movies and whatnot. You guys make great stuff! Fix this! Maybe through an update that let's you disable it in the app. But I have seen this in MANY THREADS people playing ultra low or extremely hight frequency im talking 10 or 25k htz 24/7 just to keep the darn thing running. I am willing to buy the x3 if you fix this! If it is mechanical I am also willing to pay to fix the one I have and buy the 3rd and pay to fix it as well!
Address this!
Please!

Not as Good as Xtreme 2
The Xtreme 3 has an annoying treble boost in comparison to the Xtreme 2. When turned on high inside a room, it hurts the ears. Bass is also reduced when compared to my Xtreme 2 side by side. I expected this release to outdo the previous version. Not worth $345. I'll probably return it.

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!

EQ feature
I upgraded from the JBL Xtreme 2 to the 3, and the upgrade is definitely there. This is mainly due to the EQ features presented with the app that just enrich the speaker and make it worth the switch. This speaker is a tad bit louder and I love the new slick look. Love it.

Extreme 3 Boom Box 3 and 2
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!!!!!!!!

I used to have the 1st jbl xtreme and now this jbl xtreme 3 is a whole different story. Its lighter, louder and more rugged. I like how light is and how you can stand it on its sides. The battery life is amazing. Great product from jbl

Simply The BEST
I ordered this speaker last week, I just received it, I've had it for only 2 days, and Love It! Worth every dollar. The technology behind All JBL products is Incredible. I own the(550 Live) headphones and JUST purchased the new Flip 6 today. The Extreme 3 is Extremely powerful and delivers clear, clean vocals, deep bass, and is compatible with the JBL APP, offering an EQ. If you want 'The One', this IS it.

Wow sound!
This medium-sized guy really does the trick for outside gatherings. I may have also used it in the bathroom while showering and it really brings the boom. The little strap it comes with a super handy when cleaning up, my friends are really impressed with the sound.

Love it!!!
We bought this a couple weeks ago, and we absolutely love it. The sound is superb, and the speaker is easy to use. The party mode to connect up to 3 speakers is nice as well. Be advised that party mode will not work on older models of JBL speakers. But, top of the line product. Would recommend to everyone.

Great Speaker
JBL Xtreme 3
I just got The New JBL Xtreme 3 Speaker
I really like this speaker, the way it looks and even better
the way it sounds.
.. Looks : I am impressed by the way that the new JBL logo
Looks in front of it , a well done logo..
.. Nice Rubber / silicon lines under the speaker , they give it
a better grip on all surfaces..
.. Side bumpers at first they do look a bit weird.. But my guess is that they are there for more protection in case we drop the speaker.. also , i noticed that if you put the speaker in a vertical way , those bumpers give the unit more space for the sound to come out and the driver won’t suffocate..
.. Holding Strap : also has some rubber / silicone lines on it for better grip , and to prevent from slipping / sliding..
.. Charging Port : I really like that this speaker comes with a Type - C charging cable option.. if for some reason the battery dies when i am out and about , i can use my Cellphone cable to charge it.. very good idea JBL team..
.. No Aux connection input in this particular speaker..
.. Sound : The JBL Xtreme speaker lineup has been very popular for their sound quality.. and this one is no exception.. the sound is great , very loud and impressive..
.. Battery fife : it is very good , up to 10 hrs at high volume, and about 15 hrs at reasonable volume..
Overall this is another Well made / Great sound Speaker
from JBL ...

Beautiful Sound
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!

Crushed it again!!
Yet another AWSOME product from the makers of JBL! This thing shakes my house and with new features it's a win win. With the 15 hour battery life, waterproof suround that makes it great for the pool side all the way to the beach. The shoulder strap was a great touch and has rubber grovss in it so it doesn't shift around as your walk. Having the option to charge your pho e or other devices is outstanding and new for this year.
All in all it is a well rounded speaker..see what I did their. I have no problem rocking this "Speake-purse" around with me wherever I go.
Also if you want more bass out of it try putting ot in a corner of the room so the side speakers and reverberate off them giving you that boom boom.

What great sound!!
I received a week ago and have only used once but man, what a great speaker. I took it to my gym after hours for a workout with my daughter and it filled the gym with better sound than the built in system. My 18 year old daughter immediately claimed the speaker as her own. I may need to buy another as I’m pretty sure this thing is off to college with her soon. :)

GREAT PORTABLE SPEAKER
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.

Xtreme 3 is not worth the money
Longtime supporter, and avid user, of JBL. The JBL Xtreme Bought the JBL Xtreme 3 because the battery life on my JBL Xtreme 1 had got down to a couple of hours .
JBL has always offered one of the highest quality bass sound, that’s why I loved them. The JBL Xtreme 3 is trash. Sound quality is weak and over EQ’d w/ the treble register. Almost NO BASE!
Really heartbreaking that JBL has gotten away from what made they special… Speaker does work and has a nice shoulder stra.

Disappointed
Returning. I wanted to love this speaker but I was disappointed with the sound quality and volume. You have to listen to it at 3/4 volume to get any performance at all from it, even inside, and even at full volume it’s not that loud. It’s just ok, definitely not what I was expecting at this price point. I have smaller (much cheaper) BT speakers that can perform almost as well, and similar priced BT speakers that have better sound quality. I thought this speaker would be a good mix of both quality and volume, but it’s not. At full volume it’s ok, but obviously the battery life is then diminished, which was another factor for me.

Bad support
Speaker worked well until the usb charging port receded into the speaker. JBL wouldn't replace the product and told me to pay to get it fixed. It's only 12 months old. I won't be buying JBL products anymore. At 380.00 for a bluetooth speaker to have such terrible warranty is a joke.

Great value purchase!
I took advantage of Black Friday to buy a customized JBL Xtreme 3 Bluetooth speaker. Its product quality and sound quality are excellent.
The customized image is very finely made, colorful and clear. They helped me create a commemorative speaker that is unique in the world and belongs to me.
Its sound quality is clear and the bass is powerful, and it can perfectly present various electronic music. When it plays multi-instrument background music, I can feel the 3D sound effects and hear the layering of the instruments. But when it plays pure piano classical music, the rendering effect of the atmosphere is very ordinary, and listening to it for a long time will cause my hearing fatigue.
The only thing worth complaining about is the APP "JBL Portable". It doesn't support turning the speaker on and off remotely. This makes me very distressed. I hope JBL will upgrade their APP.
Although this speaker still has room for improvement, I think it is still the king of portable Bluetooth speakers of its type.

Survived 3 months of Atmospheric Rivers In NW
I have owned for about a year, love the deeper rich sound you get when putting on floor in corner! I live in Olympia, WA and we receive a lot of rain. I left the speaker out hidden in outdoor sitting area from Oct. 7th until Jan 15. We had numerous atmospheric rivers come through out region and some below freezing temps, but for most part wet and damp. I found it as I was cutting back the grasses, it not only still worked fine but was also still half charged!

Speaker good, personalization bad.
The speaker sounds great and has amazing battery life, it's just about everything I want out of a work speaker... but, I sprung for the personalization package, which is very disappointing. The speaker looked amazing at first, but after less than a week of use, my design is already to begin to fade away, and I haven't exactly been rough with it either. Advice, save a couple bucks and don't get the personalization package!

Bought this unit hoping to use it for more than Bluetooth. I linked the speaker to my laptop via Bluetooth, tried to use it with my recorded songs, not happening, tried using my pindrive with an appropriate cable, again nothing. I was able to hear music from a streaming source. I am able to listen to music stored on my phone but that is not what I was hoping for

Great speaker, unpolished software.
The Xtreme 3 is a great speaker. I love the ruggedness, however the achilles heel for JBL is always the software/app. It definately needs some polish.
Also JBL, please consider allowing multiple stereo pairs in a Party Together session. i.e. Two Boombox 3s, and two Xtreme 3s all playing the same song from one source, but assigned as L and R speakers respectively, instead of all speakers playing L and R channels

A good leap forward without going to ‘4’.
I had perhaps the original Xtreme. I had it packed away, for years, and dug it out to find the battery was only good for only about 90-minutes. The Xtreme 4 has more features than I was interested in and includes a big price tag. My point being, ‘the 3’ sounds considerably better than the prior version which has too much bottom end, for me. The simple EQ in the app for ‘the 3’ is a nice feature. Good value and built like a tank.
