So the JBL Boombox 3 is a very portable Bluetooth speaker that gets impressively loud and it also has a decent amount of bass to it thanks to its new speaker set up. However, if you’re looking for something to constantly take on the go with you, the Boombox 3 is a little on the larger side when compared to either the JBL Xtreme 3 or Partybox Encore. So today we’re going to see how the Boombox 3 stakes up to both the Xtreme 3 and Partybox Encore and lets see which one is right for you.

I got my first boombox - first generation - and it was beast.. and i got boombox 2, it was louder and bass was massive, i called "The Tank" even when i have partybox 310, boombox 2 still my favorite one, portable a powerful in the same time.. so on my experience i know the boombox 3 is real beast, and it will be massive upgrade for some one how still use first boombox or extreme 3.. encore is good, but just in bass, and bass is just a little part of sound, some time I won't to watch classic movie or hear relaxation music, that's when mid High important than bass, encore doesn't have the bright sound or details of boombox.. so, boombox 3 is the speaker for everything totally.

The volume for the entire sound test was too high for the Extreme 3 to show off it's bass, but it still sounds impressive. My pick for sound quality is still the Encore

[jean-pierrefata]

Very clear and interesting review. Thank you man !

[jackoff]

Jbl needs to make a stand alone subwoofer for partyboost speakers

I've had the Xtreme 3 for a couple of years now and I can't believe it's still alive, after all the abuse it's received through mountain biking and kayaking out in the middle of the sea with it sat half submerged in salt water in the storage compartment. I use it every day for work as well and it still performs like the day I bought it. They're costly unit's, but you definitely get what you pay for.
I didn't even realise the Boombox existed until I saw this video, so tempted to grab one 😅I think I'll hold out for the Boombox 4 to drop though, surely it can't be that far away 😁

very informative and to the point, a special thank you for NOT putting any background music. Thank you!

[wangxiao]

I love your test! It would be great if they were also compared all at around 50% volume. I heard that at > 60% volume their sub become limited.

speaking sound quality overall the Encore wins my heart

[ByDJ_jappa]

I think I prefer the partybox on the go instead of the extreme. the extreme is a bit to small to compare I think

[marcher]

For the Xtreme 3 if it is plugged in, it has more power.

[pizzamannetje]

The Partybox Encore doesn't just support SBC. It also supports AAC. That makes a noticeable difference in sound quality!

Favorite part was when you said “can connect up to 100 other speakers which is obviously… over kill “ 😂

[gilberto]

Hi! I really love your videos but could you put the weight and dimensions on screen also in european in the future?

[CosminCraiova]

I just got a Encore at black friday with 280$ from 360$, it was a best buy speaker for me, I love it !

[JavierLi]

I’m thinking about getting the boombox 3 but i don’t know if I should get it in black or in Camo. I had a bb2 in Camo and i loved it but I’ve never had a black jbl and I’m really starting to like how the black looks on the BB3. I also want to buy a partybox 310/710 but I think I’ll wait for later on just in case JbL releases a partybox 510/something in between the 310 and 710.

Question, Idk if you keep all the speakers u review. So just wondering are you returning any of the new JBL speakers? And if so why?

[QalinaCom]

I just had my Encore Essential dying on me on full volume, no lights, bass on and using bluetooth, in under 4 hours. A bit disappointed. what's the point of having this sized speaker then?

[ha]

You save up know that the eq changes as you increase the volume. Never play any of these speakers at 100% volume. The bass is greatly reduced in comparison to the rest of the frequency. The speaker will sound brighter and tinnier.
65-70% volume is the max volume before the bass starts to get reduced.

If you need to play a speaker at 100% then that is the wrong speaker for you. You should get a more powerful one instead.
