JBL - Xtreme 3

JBL extreme 3 Have it now already for more as 1 year and super sound, can stand some rain. My son has the smaller version from jbl also perfect sound .

I found a JBL extreme 3 for $187 renewed on Amazon, it has an EQ so you can mess around with that to your taste and if it doesn’t turn out good, you can return it https://a.co/d/3uWjFFT

If you're strictly limited to Bluetooth I'd recommend the JBL Xtreme 3 or even the Boom 2  If you don't mind a plug in, the Sonos era 100 is a great option 

The X600 sound clarity is great but if we're looking at something similar with better bass the JBL Xtreme 3 and Sony Ult Field 5 are much better Just on Bass the Boom 2 also outperforms this 

Thanks for the answers. Read a few reviews and got the JBL Xtreme 3

JBL Flip 4 JBL Xtreme 3 SONY Ult Field 7 The performance overall in each one, has been more than satisfactory.

Would perhaps you care to specify the exact specs of the speakers and the amp? I got the Flip 6 recently which is pretty much identical to the Flip 7 sound wise and I was vastly disappointed with its' outdoors capacity. It is a small room/apartment speaker at most. The Charge 5/6 delivers great performance/portability ratio. The Xtreme 3 was a huge letdown outdoors as well, you just expect more from a speaker of that size. I never owned a Boombox but from what I read it is a huge upgrade on the Xtreme. So if size/portability is secondary to you - don't cheap out and get the Boombox. If portability is important go with the Charge 6.

Im an amateur audiophile, in the sense that sound quality is always something I prioritize, but i value a product that can take a beating, from impact and weather. I recently survived a scooter crash, fractured my leg, and my JBL Xtreme3 went FLYING. It doesnt look pretty but it sounds like it did when i bought it 3 years ago. It was raining too! So i guess depending on how this new boombox sounds, im probably going for it

I’ve had UE, JBL, and Bose. My JBL Xtreme 3 has been tougher, sounds decent enough (Bose sounded better), and is legitimately waterproof.

Jbl extreme 3 or 4, I’m a little biased because I’ve had my 3 for 4 years and it has been through hell with me crashing on various things at over 35 mph and it’s still waterproof and still works good. The 4 is newer but the 3 has a rubber flap to cover the charge port and usb port and aux jack, the 4 only has a c type and it does not accept audio, so you can only charge devices from the port and charge the speaker, sorry for the ramble but the extreme 3 is great and I haven’t found a speaker the outperforms it for my needs and taste

Jbl extreme 3, it’s hard to explain how much hell I’ve truly only this thing through but just know it’s fallen at over 35mph on to pavement and asphalt a handful of times over the last 4.5 years. The battery has definitely taken a hit of a hit in playtime but it sounds the same as it did on day one and I still get a good 6-8 hours of full blast music playback, that’s with the bass on the ew turned down all the way though, with the stock eq it’s probably closer to 4-6 hours

Oh yeah, I’ve had to glue the fabric wrap back on a few times but overall it’s held up really well, still water proof too!

But the battery has zero cycles, I don’t think an aged battery is a huge issue. I have an extreme 3 that is 4 years old and still holds a 12 hour battery.
