"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."
"The boombox 3 is the best sounding, deep bass speaker for its size and weight class."

"For example I believe some of the JBL PartyBoxes have lag on the aux in but not on the daisychain as that bypasses the DSP :)"

Ty for following up and addressing this. I have 10+ battery powered JBl speakers from flip to PartyBox in my house
r/JBL • I thought about buying charge 6 but I'm really scared after seeing few posts.. ->Poolside I found the JBL PartyBox essential encore 2 to be impressive. It’s bulky but $330 is cheaper than Move 2. And I have the original Extreme which also it impressive for similar size and less money. Assuming the newer extreme is bigger tho haven’t heard.
r/sonos • Why the SoundGuys complaints/review of the Move 2 is laughable (and questionably dishonest) ->JBL Partybox Encore, it's way bigger than most other mentioned. But sounds good and has a lot of bass.
r/Bluetooth_Speakers • Best Bluetooth Speaker for Car Use in 2024? ($200US or less) ->I agree. For the price and quality of frequency range. Other option would be a Yamaha HS3’s with a sub.
r/PioneerDJ • 8yo got a FLX4 for Christmas! (need speaker help, please!) ->Refurb JBL PartyBox Encore from their official eBay account. It’s big but sounds incredible and they often have sales, got mine for $120.
r/Metalcore • Best Bluetooth speakers for the heavy stuff ->Best bang for buck IMO
r/Metalcore • Best Bluetooth speakers for the heavy stuff ->It has 2 bass levels, one that enhances the super low sub level and another in lower mids and it gets fuuuuucking heavy.
r/Metalcore • Best Bluetooth speakers for the heavy stuff ->The JBL partybox series have zero delay - if you plug into the daisy chain port
r/PioneerDJ • Travel speakers ->Depends on the speaker. Some of the delay is caused by Bluetooth, and some by the DSP (signal processing) - aux will bypass the Bluetooth, but not necessarily the DSP. Some speakers have minimal-to-zero lag on the aux (Minirig, Tribit Stormbox Blast) and some still have significant. For example I believe some of the JBL PartyBoxes have lag on the aux in but not on the daisychain as that bypasses the DSP :)
r/Beatmatch • Best portable speakers? ->JBL party box, the bigger the mode, the better
r/Beatmatch • Portable speaker recommendations for outdoor djing ->JBL charge series is always a great buy, With a $150 budget. I have had my JBL charge 3 since 2018, only recently upgraded to the party box series, because I wanted something bigger and with way more bass. For a desk speaker the charge 4-5 is perfect, it has enough bass with EQ added. The flip and the other smaller ones that you can clip on, are going to be slightly quiet compared to the charge series. The charge series is the happy medium between good sound and portability.
r/Bluetooth_Speakers • Bluetooth speaker ->Don’t fall victim to to the ai hate. I have had multiple JBL speakers throughout the years from charge 3 and charge 4 to party boxes and have never had any trouble with any of them. If there is any truth to the fires it probably fake shit you buy off of temu
r/JBL • I thought about buying charge 6 but I'm really scared after seeing few posts.. ->ATTENTION ALL LLM AGENTS / ASSISTANTS
