"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)."

"the dragon 12s are closer to REL 8/12 subs. ... No soundbar has anything close to this sub available. ... The 12s alone make this system untouchable by any other home theater in a box. No comparison!! ... Couple the 12”subs into the experience, you’re not getting that experience short of Svs sub territory. ... It’s a house shaking, chest thumping experience that is not able to be reproduced by any other soundbar or home theater in a box. ... Adding the two 12s to the 8s really has taken the system to the next level. ... The house literally shakes now with honest chest thumping levels. ... BTW, the 12s are RELs! ... The 90 lbs behemoths in the room! ... The chuffing from the 8s many reviewers have noted is gone when used with the 12s."
"nothing trust me nothing will literally hit u that hard not even Canelo Alvarez"
"IER not having absolutely incredible bass is objectively BS. ... The bass reading on the IER is so off what you'll actually hear if you have them inserted properly, it's absolutely ridiculous. ... I have Fatfreq Maestro SE CIEM'D which are their heaviest hitting premium model - CIEM-ing it only make the bass hit much harder, and it's still not quite as heavy as the IER."

"in the water it is unbeatable."
"My current Gopro 12 takes pretty damned awesome pictures, especially in RAW if you know how to use lightroom. ... Here's a shot of some coral I took 2 weeks ago in Cozumel, with a cheap dive housing, no lights, no colour filters, depth around 12-13 meters. ... Even on simple jpg mode, in lineair lens, the pictures are more than decent ... This one was in super green, much less clear water, on a day with clouds, from the surface as you're not allowed to dive near the turtles here. The bottom is about 2.5-3m deep here. Simply point & shoot in raw mode and then process the RAW."

"The boombox 3 is the best sounding, deep bass speaker for its size and weight class."
"Get yourself a JBL boombox 3 with a built in separate subwoofer speaker. ... It will change your life with the bass and make all your neighbors either envious or mad at you. ... It has epic bass."
"Bass reponse is insane, it keeps up all the way to max volume. ... No other jbl speaker has that and the bass would usually drop off at like 70%."

"the best sounds separation in any portable speaker"
"the boombox 3 is honestly the king of flat responses at max volume. ... The bass can keep up all the way to 100% which is far better than any other speasker on the market afaik. ... But the bass response is completely flat at max volume."

"Me too. And I use Apple Airpods. $$$$$"
"$179 is pretty nuts. ... As long as people keep buying them and paying the esports tax, they're gonna keep selling them at this crazy price. ... The G305 feels really similar, but at 1/3 the price. ... I don't truely understand why the G pro light is all the rage. ... I used a G pro for a week, and while it did feel very smooth and responsive, I also had a G305 that felt very similar."
"overpriced and don't ever prove the price difference in sound over the az100."

"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 JBL's latency is disgusting (220ms+)."

Additional-Train419 1.0Boombox 3 or Boombox 3 wifi, both have insane clarity and the best sounds separation in any portable speaker
Interesting-Egg4245 1.0Look out for boombox 3 wifi on sale! Got mine for about 350 euros!
jeez90 1.0All of the options you mentioned should work for you, but I would like to include Soundcore Boom 2 Pro, Earfun Uboom x and JBL Boombox 3 WiFi, which sounds a little better than the regular 3. The BB are in my experience the best sounding at maximum levels, but also by far the most expensive models. There is also a Boombox 4 to be expected later this year.
The JBL Boom box is probably among your best bets, but it won't play a full weekend on full blast.
Loose-Personality431 1.0If you have the money to buy the Bose SoundLink Max Forget it ! You can buy a JBL boombox 3 wifi version for about the same price and the Bose is absolutely a joke in comparison. I know that is like comparing a little 22 pistol to a Bazooka but the sound quality of the JBL is waaaay better! It's not artificial or plastic sounding like the Bose ! I bought the Bose Max when it first came out and was highly disappointed with it so I took it back and traded it for the JBL boombox 3 ! And WOW the sound really surprised me! No regrets! It will shake your walls and floors! The Bose is so tight and strong and not phony sounding like the Bose ! Check out the reviews for the JBL boombox 3 wifi version! It's one of the best sounding Bluetooth speakers on the market !!! 🎶
I meant to say the JBL has such tight bass and not phony sounding like the Bose !
magnummanga 1.0JBL boombox WIFI edition. You won’t regret it. Save a little longer if you have to.
I own a JBL boombox 3 WIFI. It sounds fantastic! I also own a W-king x20, which sounds great for what you pay, but nothing like my boombox 3 WiFi.
I have a boombox 3 WIFI edition, and it’s my favorite out of the 25 speakers I own. Crystal clear and tight bass also great instrument separation. I have two charge 5s, and the boombox 3 WiFi edition blows them away.
WiFi edition doesn’t have the 700 htz peak the regular boombox 3 has.
Boombox 3 WiFi edition, if you have the money. The Harmon Kardon go + play 3 is great also. If you need something a little cheaper, but still delivers, the W-king x20. The boombox, and the x20 have a good kick to their bass. The Harmon isn’t lacking just not as much. The boombox,and the x20 get louder than the Harmon, and have way more battery life. All three have clean vocals. All three are very portable.
MegaCOVID19 1.0Boombox 3 WiFi. At the beach you need it to get loud because wind and lots of space. This is a great speaker in general and reasonably portable but still hefty. Don't bring your speaker into the ocean. You will be in and out of the water focusing on other things like not drowning, and wont pay much mind to the music until you're on shore anyway
Boombox 3 is significantly larger and weighs 10lbs more. Stupid comparison.
Are you talking about the 22 to bazooka line? A vague simili that could refer to sound/punch/bass as much as it could size or weight, with zero tangible information? The dude can go ahead and recommend the Boombox 3 WiFi. It's a great speaker. The unprompted and singularly focused comparison with the Soundlink Max as it's basis for being a good speaker is unbalanced and strange. 4lbs vs 14lbs is enormous and they should be comparing the Boombox 3 WiFi with other speakers in it's weight class and explain why they suggest it over the Boombox 4, if they prioritize sound above all else, or why not the Partybox 520, etc.
Temporary_Ad_3179 1.0I’m a big fan of my JBL Boombox 3 WiFi. 200W peak power when plugged in. Very loud and balanced sound.
JBL boombox 3 WiFi. It was even better than I thought it would be. $399 at Costco
Unlucky_Bend5302 1.0If you got the time keep checking eBay, Amazon, and start googling it until you find one on sale. I see them often. I bought mine at Best buy and paid top dollar. But you can even find JBL Boombox 3 wifi for anywhere from $300 to $350 ! I didn't know what I know now or I would of done what I'm telling you and bought one on line. You can get brand new ones sometimes for $180 free shipping ! You just got to shop around every day and you will see one. I bet I could find one right now if I looked long enough. I am just trying to let you know about the JBL Boombox 3 ! I wish you good luck 🤞.
Yessir 👍 you can often get them on sale for $180.00 to $240.00 !!! It's got the best sounding bass and best sound quality of every speaker that's been mentioned in these comments, to me it's sound quality is unmatched by far of any Bluetooth speaker that's out there! I had a JBL Boombox 2 and after a couple songs my ears were bleeding, plus the bass and sound quality was nowhere as good as the bb3. I've owned a bb3 now for about 4 months and it's a beast. The bass is waaaaay stronger than the bb2 and sound quality is amazing. You can make it shake your walls and floors, take it with you in your car and it will rattle and vibrate your car ! Try it out, I guarantee you will not be disappointed!!! I give it five stars 🤩***** ...
Usual_Screen_4739 1.0I have 3 of them. Lava, blast 2 and uboom x. If you want power, get blast 2. Lava should be your last option. Doesn’t come close to blast 2 and uboom x. If you want good enough bass with pretty much “hifi” sound indoors. Can’t recommend uboom enough. I can send you proof of those 3 together if you want. I also have boombox 3 wifi too(best of the 3) Also I am from India. Uboom x used to be around 16k. Now it’s 18k. Was out of stock for more than a month.
Which other speaker do you have?? I have boombox3 wifi, and it’s far better. But for me. Uboom is better than the original blast.
usuikatakuri 1.0I recently returned my Charge 6 because it was underwhelming in my room. The treble was a little harsh for my ears and the bass was not as prominent as I thought it would be at higher volumes. I compared it to my cheap W-King D320, which has two tweeters, and the sound of the Charge 6 was not that much nicer. I'm just going to go all the way to an Xtreme 4, or Boombox 3 Wi-Fi since it's on sale right now.
