"battery lasts me forever, I charge it once a week and I game every day."
"16 days battery life on my fenix. ... The other aspect I really appreciate about my fenix is the battery life. 16 days or so. With everything I have to change these days (laptops, mice, keyboards, headphones, watches, phones), I appreciate not having to worry about it too often."
"Oh, and the battery lasts days even when exercising a lot (weeks without excercise)."

"Back to back in my opinion they blow the airpods pro 2 out of the water in clarity, separation, and punch."
"these have the deepest, cleanest and "tumpiest" bass out there."
"The gemini 2s 5hz frequency response is incredible. Granted not audible, but you can feel it in certain music."

"Noble fokus rex5 best sounding change my mind. ... Five drivers per ear bud game changing for sure ... Yes, you're so right. They are by far number one. ... There may be a few airbuds that get better battery a little bit, better ANC but right now my two cents worth, there's nothing on a planet that sounds better than these. ... I have all the heavy hitters. The techniques 80/100 Sony 4 and 5 sennheisers 3 and 4 and the Devialet gemini II. ... Ronontech on YouTube did a review on the Aviot a few days ago. I belive he liked the Nobels better. ... Also on YouTube, check out Flossie Carter review on the Nobles, he went absolutely nuts. Best sounding wireless earbuds he has ever heard."
"As for gaming I'd probably rank them 1. A50 ... As for music I'd rank them 1. A50 ... And for movies I would rank them 1. A50."
"these fifth generation A50s sound better than anything I’ve ever used. ... New DAC, new Graphene drivers, really nice sounding."

"Sound became more powerful, present and the vocals became even more clear. Also there clearly was a sensation of the increased soundstage. ... However this time it produced the best music I've ever heard from this system."
"It has 2 bass levels, one that enhances the super low sub level and another in lower mids and it gets fuuuuucking heavy."
"For movies and gaming it sounds amazing."

"Literally bombproof! ... Vermont winters/rain subzero temperatures!"
"the IPX7 rating makes it perfect for wet environments like the shower."
"Mine has been stepped on, played with by my sheep, dropped, rained on, dunked in water, beat on by ducks and geese, you name it. Still works great."

"getting stressed out about the whole process of plugging in, lifting, storing the giant Kirby and not vacuuming at all in the end."
"You do NOT want a Kirby if you have stairs - trust me."
"I’ve tried my families Miele canister when I lived with them and never got the hang of it. ... How do you manage the canister? We have a small space and based on my experience it seems like I would trip over it. Even when I tried it in a bigger place I still carried the canister around which was super annoying just to not trip on it ... The space is small enough that it has dead ends without enough space to turn around by pulling the canister. Is there a way that same concept can still be applied? We’re talking bedsides with only 1.5’ space, 4’ hallway with a litter box at the end, 5’ kitchen width with dead end."

"I feel the bass is abit overpowering especially indoors"
"At lower volumes, however, I would say that the UBOOM X offers the better sound quality, as the bass on the Boombox is unnaturally boosted."
"So much bass, overpowering bass at low volumes making it muffled."

"The boombox is slightly more bass-heavy, while the UBOOM X sounds very balanced and can be adjusted very well in the app with EQs to suit different listening situations."
"Yeah, the 3 equalizer options def. ... I just notice a slight difference in audio quality when it and my partyboxes."
It's simple, since you're willing to take any of them to the park, i assume that size and weight doesn't matter too much, so, it all comes down to the sound and price, and in that regard, the partybox is cheaper and way more powerful. The Boombox 3 has more battery life though, but i doubt you'll drain an entire partybox 120 on just a day of playing, and even then, its battery is replaceable, so you can buy another battery and swap it when the first runs out. Another point to note is that bb3 is waterproof and the partybox is not, but i assume no one is playing basketball on a rainy day.
r/JBL • Best speaker for bringing to the park, court-side background music when playing basketball/volleyball? ->JBL boombox 2 or 3 they sound amazing and 24 hours playtime
r/Bluetooth_Speakers • Best portable Bluetooth speaker to Buy? ->My charge 3 lasted nearly 5 years of outdoors use in the Midwest. Summer, winter, forgotten about overnight, it was a tank. Side story: when it recently broke, I ordered another... Or so I thought. I was a little tipsy and bought the boombox instead. This giant box arrives, and let me tell ya, that thing POUNDS.
r/BuyItForLife • The best bluetooth speaker worth buying now? (sound quality and portability) ->I've been using JBL Boombox 3 for a while now, It's got a great battery life but it's a little heavy then Bose SoundLink Max, and great sound quality.
r/Bluetooth_Speakers • Best Bluetooth Speaker 2024/2025 ->No, Not really. I love it tbh.
r/Bluetooth_Speakers • Best Bluetooth Speaker 2024/2025 ->I read plenty of reviews and purchased a few disappointing speakers, recently stumbled across a used boombox 3 for $200 and just went for it and I been very impressed on how good it actually sounds. I think when this one gives out I will replace with yet another boombox 3 or a PartyBox because I have yet to be let down by a JBL but my trick is I always get them on a sale, clearance or used lol
r/Bluetooth_Speakers • Soundcore boom 2 is very dissapointing ->Jbl Boombox 3 no comparison best ever portable speaker
r/Bluetooth_Speakers • Look for the best outdoor bluetooth speaker. No real price range. ->Boombox 3 or Boombox 3 wifi, both have insane clarity and the best sounds separation in any portable speaker
r/Bluetooth_Speakers • ‘Audiophile’ Portable Speaker ->The boombox is also really nice, a bit more portable. Loud, clear, ok bass But the partybox is sick, on a different level
r/JBL • Best speaker for bringing to the park, court-side background music when playing basketball/volleyball? ->I got this today. It sounds great and makes the windows in the house rattle at half volume. The speakers on the end light up when powered on. Let me know if you have questions.
r/egopowerplus • EGO Bluetooth Speaker ->I think you'd be pleasantly surprised. There's seven speakers, two mid-range, two tweeters, two passive radiators, and a subwoofer.
r/egopowerplus • EGO Bluetooth Speaker ->The EGO speaker is essentially an upgraded JBL Boombox 3 with a separate battery. You can link 100 of them together, charge devices with it or charge the battery with a USB-C cable.
r/egopowerplus • EGO Bluetooth Speaker ->It's 21" long and weighs 17lbs without a battery.
r/egopowerplus • EGO Bluetooth Speaker ->It runs on EGO batteries, up to 50 hours with a 5Ah battery.
r/egopowerplus • EGO Bluetooth Speaker ->It's very subtle and you can't really tell that it's lit.
r/egopowerplus • EGO Bluetooth Speaker ->The speakers are made by JBL. Everything they make is electronic.
r/egopowerplus • EGO Bluetooth Speaker ->I mean for the big speakers a partybox 210 is like okay (also speakers of the same size usually sound very similar), 310 is the best for medium sized rooms and anything above is practically not needed. For the medium sized ones, a boombox 3, charge 4/5/6 are pretty good cost/sound sound variants. For the smaller/little ones it's hard to choose, since you usually can't get much bass out of them. I chose mine by the specs and knowledge. JBL has been around for years and has developed a pretty huge ecosystem of syncing tws clear sounding speakers. Although they're pretty pricey, I think most of their speakers are worth it. How to choose: Ratings/comments under product Specs (Size, wattage and speaker range. The lower it goes, the better it usually is.) Price: must not be overpriced. The less rgb the lower the price (usually (not talking about partyboxes rn))
