Before buying this product, you should know something. When using as a portable, you're not getting the FULL 100 WATTS! Only when using the a/c cord in a wall outlet, you'll get full power. I wish more reviewers would remind customers of this. In actuality, probably more like 60 watts. If portability & sound is your thing, you may want to pair 2 charge 5 in stereo, or spend the extra $ & get the BOOMBOX 3.
I'll be honest, it's not crazy bass like car audio you can feel but it sounds reasonable for the size. We hooked it up to the smart tv and it sounded loud enough in the living room theatre style. I was impressed. But it all depends what you like. You want something crazy loud then you gotta get something else/bigger.
@@CiscoKid76 please how loud it is and do you use the LFM mode I saw comments that there's an LFM mode Minus volume plus Bluetooth together put it in LFM mode which gives u more Bass
I have one question i bought xtreme 3 new from store not used but on bigger bass it crack a little i can hear crackling voices do anyone know what is problem? I need help
Thank you for the video. Just a little constructive feedback: in the future consider speaking a bit slower and clearer. I felt at times, you mumbled and tried to rush in speeding up the text hence making it unintelligible. Great content, but slow down, please! Thank you again!
@wallyveniotrocker1000 You can adjust its internal EQs by pairing it through "JBL Portable" app on your mobile phone. It makes a lot of difference from its out of the box settings!! I was very disappointed with its default sound quality till I hit upon the app and changed the EQ settings to my liking!!
I bought jbl xtreme 3 and I receive it today... I will try it to the fullest and I will leave my comment regarding the experience I will have when listening to jbl xtreme 3 since there are many videos that speak ill of jbl xtreme 3
I think jbl need to redesign woofers layout on Xtreme models. Like charge 3 to charge 5 and boombox 2 to boombox 3,more like 1 woofer 2 mid drivers and 2 tweeters
What I found the best is you can connect this to your TV jack output and you do not need a sound bar. Specially in hotels and apartments. no other JBL has that Jack input except the JBL Flip 3
One thing I like about the Extreme line of speaker from JBL is the fact they’ve kept it stereo & not changed it to mono like the Charge line. Who the hell wants to listen to music with just the left or right channel. I personally think the Extreme 3 & 4 are among the best portable Bluetooth speakers money can buy. There’s not a huge difference in sound between the Extreme 3 & 4 & given the Extreme 3 has an AUX & the Extreme 4 doesn’t I’d say the Extreme 3 is better value for money. All in all it’s a great line of portable Bluetooth speakers & with the EQ app you have so much flexibility at your fingertips.
Just purchased this toy. I thought it would be louder than my wonderboom 2. Am i not using it right or i was just being silly thinking bigger and more money means better and louder sound?
I'm just judging off of my extreme too compared to my flip 5 it's a big difference and sound and Bass I like the flip though when I'm like walking I guess it's on the traveling yeah you can argue and say there's a shoulder strap but then I feel like I'm lugging around a little suitcase or something
Hi man! Gr8 video, very infornative. It says that it´s louder when plugged in. Does hooking it up to a battery bank charger mean it´s "plugged in". Is that enough juice to get the sound boost? Have a good one! /JL
Does anyone have information on how long the battery lasts with continuous playback at full volume. a lot of times these things say 15 hours with zero context on testing measures
I have the flip 6, when I use it with my mp3 player outside the volume leaves something to be desired. Can I expect to get much more volume with this speaker?
Definitely cause this one is around 50w or above RMS & flip 6 is only 30w…also if you have the flip 6 then you can use partyboost feature to get total of 80w RMS sound as the boombox 2 with less bass
If you can get the boombox 1 in my opinion it’s better the bass on the boombox 2 kills the battery life quicker it’s good for house parties but not constructions sites haha
I know this was commented 5 months ago but I have a boombox 2 and absolutely love it. If you get the boombox 2 you can also get the xtreme 3 in the future and pair them with partyboost. Which is what I'm thinking of doing.
I owned the charge 5. I love speakers and the charge 5 is the best speaker i have owned so far. Haven’t tried the boombox or extremes but i had the harmon kardon go play 2 and i still prefer the charge 5
I'm a boombox 2 owner and I'm here to see if I want to get the xtreme 3 so I that I can pair them together ❤️ might just get another boombox but it would be cool to have one that's slightly more portable
@@collinsnicky1202 it definetively is the best JBL speaker, i have partybox on the go flip 5 and jbl xtreme 3 and tested charge 5 vs sony xg500 the straps to carry the xtreme 3 make it the best for me, soundwise the only one that beats it for it size is the boombox 3. Sony speakers have no chance against jbl speakers.
@@sxnnyyy4608 Im working in construction there was some guy with xtreme 3, they are way more powerful but you have to put it on power. played with accu its not a big difference with charge 5
Got my second one after buying a fake,luckily i got a refund and a real one! My only complaint is the sound has volume limitations on Bluetooth when you know its got more using the JBL app?
If you wanted a cheaper option, I wouldn't go for the Flip 6. I would go for the Charge 5 instead. The Flip 6 in terms of sound and bass, sounds thin in comparison.
Correction, extreme 3 has an eq but it's not the best so far. Overall the JBL extreme 3 is good but it's too expensive! There are better bluetooth speakers out there it the market.
@@youngtk7993 , Soundcore motion boom, it has better bass although it's sound is not clear compared to the extreme 3. Other features that are better than the extreme 3 are: battery life and app. And it's way cheaper than the extreme 3. The extreme 3 bass only beat the motion boom bass when you playing it on AC mode.
Yep it's worth getting. I've had both xtreme 2 and 3 and in my opinion the xtreme 3 is better in sound quality and the bass is much more better. Plus on xtreme 3 you can turn up and down Bass Triple sound and mids sound in the jbl portable app. You sadly cant on the xtreme 2
Have the extreme 2 and the battery lasts nowhere near 4 hours never mind 15. Love the sound but drops signal from my iphones far to many times for my liking. As soon as the homepod 2 comes out my extreme 2 is going.
I'm sorry JBL, I love you guys. You guys make the best speakers out there, but this speaker is not worth it. It is only 3 notches louder than the JBL charge 5, and only 15 hour battery life compared to 20 hour battery life on the JBL charge 5. This speaker is 350 dollars compared to the JBL charge 5 which is only 180 dollars. That is big money difference and the size of the JBL extreme 3 and charge 5 is a huge difference. I expect this speaker to be quite louder than charge 5, but it's just not. Now the JBL boombox 3 is perfect, yes it is a little overpriced at 500 dollars but it is very loud and the battery life is 24 hours. I would say the boombox 3 is louder than 2 JBL extreme 3's playing at the same time and that is saying something. Honestly save up the money to get a boombox 3, because it is one of the best portable speakers out there.
15 hour battery life? What a joke. That is if you only do not have the bass boost turned on. It sounds horrible without it on. That being said, with Bass Boost turned on, you'll get about 8 1/2 hours of play with it at half volume.
It's crap top end! Looses all It's bass over 40% great at that level any louder I go back to my sony XB501G for the bass the jbl just seems to transfer to loud as heck tweeters at high volume don't like it as much as my sony! Cost twice as much aswell! I got mine in the boxing day sales unfortunately this was the only speaker not on sale lol
There is no way anybody should watch this video before they buy anything. This video like many others simply play the music and you can listen to it on your cell phone which is absolutely ridiculous. And then it is going to go over the specifications that everyone can read. And of course what it won't do is tell us the frequency response which is the only thing we don't have. And yet people come here for some reason. It is very likely because when they bought the product they liked it and so they come here and say they like it. And they get confirmation of their opinion which is why they are here. And all the people who don't like it don't come here. It is a completely an utterly idiotic system run by idiots.
Honestly if you have the extra money I would definitely go with the extreme three now if you have the money to buy two charge five I would do that just if you want stereo sound but if you want one big speaker that packs a wallop I would go with the extreme 3
Was impressed by the $150 charge 5 Just bought the $300 Extreme 3 Tested both for 3 hours inside my van due to the link feature Put the charge 5 up front Extreme 3 in the back JBL Charge 5 sounds CLEANER AND MORE PUNCHIER in the front AND in the back of my van Extreme 3 sounds Ok but for some reason very muddy Go with Charge 5, it’s the better one Now I will spend $1,000 and buy two JBL Boombox 3 to link them up If it sounds increíble I won’t return them 😀😀
