Product Information

They aren’t traditional speaker drivers, and can easily shrug off being flicked, pushed or lightly punched. The JBL Boombox 3 wi-Fi's built-in powerbank lets you charge your devices without taking a break from the music.

It has a durable IP67 rating so you can be sure it can survive wherever you take it, and it sounds great too. Our JBL Boombox 3 Wi-Fi and JBL Charge 5 Wi-Fi speakers don't have a connect feature to pair with each other. You can pair two devices to the speakers simultaneously, which is great if you want to quickly and easily switch between your phone and computer. No way to plug in analogue sources: This would not be the first option for a grown-up, minimalist living room, and you can’t plug in a cabled source like a record player as there’s no aux input with this generation.Out-of-the-box, it has a balanced overall sound profile with a bit of extra warmth in the high-bass range, making it suitable for listening to a wide variety of music genres.

It's just as stylish and durable as its predecessor, with an outdoor-ready build and characteristic built-in handle. IP67 water resistance The Boombox 3 is water resistant to an extent it can handle submersion in water. Late or missing repayments may have serious consequences for you and cause you serious money problems. Simply put, if you want to outfit your backyard with powerful sound, the Boombox 3 offers an unmatched size-to-power ratio, earning our Editors' Choice award.As in other JBL models, this leads to a more refined, grown-up and versatile sound signature than the outer appearance might initially suggest.

What sets the JBL Boombox 3 apart is its inclusion of 3D Dolby Atmos sound, delivering an immersive audio experience like never before. Lastly, while the app is useful overall, the equalizer is really simple and doesn’t allow for more granular EQ customization. You must choose between Party Mode (which keeps the speaker in stereo) or Stereo Mode (which lets you designate it to handle the left or right audio channels). Portability with 24 hours of battery life: Your listening adventures can last all day as you take the JBL Boombox 3 Wi-Fi and Bluetooth speaker with you from room to room, then out to the beach or a backyard pool party.It even floats in water, so you don't need to worry about accidentally knocking it into the pool at your next pool party. It also has a longer-lasting battery life of almost 30 hours from a single charge, almost four hours more than the Sony, and it's better built.

The JBL Boombox 3 improves on a winning formula by offering more deep bass and an even louder maximum volume than its predecessor.But it's not just about the music; this smart speaker comes equipped with AirPlay, Alexa integration, and Spotify Connect for seamless control and streaming. Orchestral tracks, like the opening scene from John Adams’ The Gospel According to the Other Mary, get some additional bass depth, but not to the degree you might expect. An added bonus is if I'm streaming from a device through an app such as Spotify other members also connected can skip, pause etc from their devices which I think is really clever. There’s a good sense of airiness and separation in the upper registers, and while the bass is powerful, it doesn’t sit oppressively on the mids, making its way into places it shouldn’t be and clogging up the sound. On battery, power decreases slightly: 60W for the sub, 30W for the midrange drivers, and 8W for each tweeter.
