JBL Xtreme 3 - Portable Bluetooth Speaker, Powerful Sound and Deep Bass, IP67 Waterproof, 15 Hours of Playtime, Powerbank, JBL PartyBoost for Multi-speaker Pairing (Black)(Renewed)

I bought this as a gift. I knew JBL had a good reputation from a long time ago. So with all the music electronics now available I checked them out! My friend loves everything about it. Connecting to Bluetooth was a breeze. He is enjoying music like it should be heard. I don’t think you can go wrong in trying it yourself! Definitely worth the money!

It arrived in the original box, and was exactly as described “like new”. Heck, I wouldn’t have been able to know this speaker was “used”, if Amazon hadn’t told me. It gets pretty loud, but I wish I would have invested in a bigger/louder one. It still has great bass and sounds great to be so small!

Pairing the speaker to your phone takes seconds. With the Partyboost mode I am able to link two other Extreme3 (or other Partyboost compatible) speakers. With all three speakers sync together I am able to replicate a three-channel stereo effect with rich surround-like-sound without having to maximize volume setting for a wider listening area. Having one large Bluetooth speaker that simulates a direct-fire speaker/sub, you cannot reach other listeners in a circle or semicircle configuration unless you Max the volume control thus making the music unbearably too loud if you are in the direct path of just one large speaker. I use mine at the beach and with three speakers spaced equally apart, the music is not sacrificed from overloudness or annoy other beach goers 20 or 30 ft away. The overall build and quality of the speaker is great. As a former mobile DJ and having owned all sorts of speakers, I rank the JBL Extreme3 as a formidable Bluetooth speaker that will not disappoint.

I snagged the refurb peoduct...absolutely no problems..system looks/performs perfectly. Very rugged but still puts out fine sound. Sounded like the high range wasn't great in a tiny room (10x10), but when used in a larger room the system starts to perform. Excellent bass and good treble. I would like more high range, but as you turn it up this actually improves! Also like the ability to broadly tune the sound profile using the mobile app. Love being able to rename the speaker on the bluetooth profile. No problems having other people link up to it. The only thing i find a bit annoying is that the volume steps are quite broad. Many times the perfect volune will be right inbetween two of the volume steps on the speaker. Sound profile can then be used to tine it a bit tho. I bought the silicone cover/handle; highly recommended. Hearing things on youtube videos that ixve never heard before. Not stunning stereo, as it is a single point system, but the apparent 'audio width' of the system is about 4 feet. Battery lasts for a long time. I haven't run it out yet. Primarily bought this model as it had an aux 3.5mm option. Works great. 100% recommended. I will update this review after a year!

I bought this to replace my old JVC RV-B55 CD. Huge, heavy, and the tape player & CD player no longer work. Radio works & it functions as a non-Blutooth speaker. I bought this reconditioned for the savings. The box had a label indicating as such. When I opened it, everything looked like it was packed and sealed new from the factory. No scratches or dust on the unit either. The sound quality is surprisingly full and clear. Maybe a touch midrangey, but not enough to be distracting. The 3.5mm audio cable input is very handy if I want to run the audio through the JBL. The ability to use it as a powerbank/phone charger is an added bonus. Overall I'm exceptionally pleased with my purchase. I'm also very impressed with the quality and how nice "Reconditioned" looked and performed.

The sound quality is so crisp and clear. The bass is very nice but not overbearing. Just in time to play all my Christmas classics. Bluetooth is ready.

Everyone here mentions the phenomenal sound, which this has. But, I am going to talk about specifics. If you want to test it like myself, go to YouTube and look up LLOYD WEBBER PHANTOM OF THE OPERA SYMPHONIC SUITE. The orchestra comes through perfectly including the organ blasts to open it. As the suite switches to "Think of me", the strings and clarinet come through without distortion. Going into Angel Of Music, the cellos and flutes come through. Prima Donna you can hear the strings, flutes, and bells perfectly, and as it moves into Masquerade, you can hear each percussion and brass instrument including the Celeste. As it moves into the sad "Wishing You Were Here Again", the woodwinds and even the harp come through. In the famous song Phantom Of The Opera, again you can hear the clarity of the strings and even the marimba. In come the french horns, clear. I can't remember the name of the next song, but just the same. The next one is All I Ask Of You (aka Raul and Christine's engagement). Not only is that video recorded with the best equipment, the speaker does not distort a things! So, even Classical music fans will enjoy the music out of this speaker!

This is the second of these I've purchased, not because the first failed, but to be able to pair it in a stereo set. Works great, easy to pair, and overall good fidelity. Not the flattest response, but does work well for the music I listen to (jazz, classical, early rock) And, plays loud, especially with two of them!
