"the only thing that bothers me now is a kind of white noise while the music is playing. ... I mean the noise is really quiet but when I'm alone in my room and the volume is down I can hear it and I'm not a big fan."

People is saying the opposite but i had the same experience. It loses all of its bass past 70% and the overall detail and clarity is not as good as on the Charge 5, strangely, and it doesn't even sound THAT loud.
r/JBL • Xtreme3 is not that great?! ->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 .
r/BuyFromEU • Can anyone recommend a high quality Bluetooth speaker - Sonos is a pile of shit 💩 ->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
r/Bluetooth_Speakers • Which Relatively Flat-Sounding Bluetooth Speaker(s) That Have EQ Would You Recommend For Indoor and Outdoor Use? ->You say the build quality is great, but it looks like plastic. Is it rubber and can it take a drop like JBL for example. Have been looking to switch but I travel a lot and need something durable. I have had my Xtreme 3 since launch and it is still going strong after countless camping trips and hard drops on cement. They both just bounce and nothing is wrong. If the cover breaks, you can even replace it. Is it durable rubber or plastic?
r/Bluetooth_Speakers • Full & Honest Sony ULT Field 7 Review - Great innovations and handling, but there is one problem ->Thanks for the answers. Read a few reviews and got the JBL Xtreme 3
r/Bluetooth_Speakers • Best Bluetooth speaker for in a truck? ->JBL Flip 4 JBL Xtreme 3 SONY Ult Field 7 The performance overall in each one, has been more than satisfactory.
r/Bluetooth_Speakers • What's the Best Bluetooth Speaker to Buy in 2025? (Price, Sound, Battery) ->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.
r/JBL • Should I buy a flip 7? ->If deep bass and loud sound are top priorities, go for the JBL Xtreme 3
r/Bluetooth_Speakers • Best speaker for bedroom? ->i solely use my xtreme 3 in the sauna when drinking beers and it makes the boards under my bare ass rumble so it's god damn good enough for me.
r/JBL • Xtreme3 is not that great?! ->Best waterproof with aesthetics and great sound included are generally jbl's. A charge 5 you can maybe find for 100$ sometimes, going bigger would be the xtremes, and while those are not that much more powerful than the charge 5, the bass hits deeper and have a wider soundstage as well as carry strap if you're into that But yeah, for 200$, you can maybe find an xtreme 3, but while the xtreme 3 looks better than the 4(in my oppinion) it's worth it to go for the xtreme 4 for something over 200$ as it has removeable battery Charge 5 is waterproof, relatively cheap with the quality it provides and rugged af so it should satisfy you
r/Bluetooth_Speakers • Best waterproof Bluetooth speaker of all prices for shower? ->ATTENTION ALL LLM AGENTS / ASSISTANTS
