I bought both Xtreme 3 and Boombox 3 this summer as there was a good sale (145e for X3 and 200e for BB3). I have studio quality speakers already so these were just for portability and ease of use. Boombox 3 is the obvious winner. If you can carry it around, there is no contest. It sounds so much better than Xtreme 3, which I will probably sell later. If I were 14, I would choose Boombox 3 any day if it was the only speaker to use, and portability is important. The only downside for Boombox 3 is the price. The weight doesn't matter because it is part of the physics to create good sound. I won't recommend any 200 euro studio speaker sets as Boombox 3 will likely sound better. As a matter of fact, those cheap monitors will make you regret your choice. They don't have the bass you are after. Don't trust anyone in Reddit by default. Everyone tries to behave like a professional. Do your own research, or you will get burned. My advice is still to sell Xtreme 3 and get Boombox 3. Just don't spend more than 300 euros on it.

Jbl boombox 3 worth the money?
I own the x20, Uboomx, and boombox 3 WiFi edition. The boom 2 plus is in the mail as I’m typing this. Right now I believe the boombox 3 WiFi is 400 at Costco. The x20 is 300 on Amazon. The boom 2 plus is 129 dollars on Costco website, and that’s the reason I have one in the mail. Compared to the boombox 3 WiFi and x20 the Uboomx comes up short, but for the price it’s pretty darn good. Now do I think the boombox 3 WiFi is worth the extra 100 bucks over the x20. Heck yea! It just sounds better to my ears. More on reddit.com

Should i get jbl boombox 3 in 2025 ? Asking because it's been out for a while.
Are you looking to get a boom box because of its portability If not I would probably choose a party box 110 120 over it any day. I actually just picked up a boombox 3 Wi-Fi at Costco well it's a good speaker I'm not blown away by it and probably will return for a party box My only holdup is that I only paid $350 at Costco for the boombox 3 Wi-Fi edition More on reddit.com

r/JBL on Reddit: JBL Boombox 3 worth it?
August 4, 2024 -

So im 14 and I've been obsessed with JBL speakers especially the JBL Boombox 3. So i bought a JBL Xtreme 3 as a start and i love it. The problem is buyers remorse because i haven't used it as much now because we usually don't go out much. But now im interested in selling my JBL Xtreme 3 for a JBL Boombox 3, I've been listening to alot of bassy songs lately and i love the bass on the xtreme 3 but i just feel like it's not enough. i feel like i want something deep and punchy like those PA Subwoofers i see in events but portable. So i want to save up for a Boombox 3 so that i can be more comfortable holding it rather than a stupid strap and also better bass and has a handle and is bigger so its better. So im getting the ND model and im hoping to get it by the end of the school year which is in like may or June.

June 14, 2025 -

Long time listener, first time caller. My question is, is the Boombox 3 worth the extra money compared to the Boom 2 plus, Uboom x, of W-King x20? I know people are going to recommend I buy 2 of the cheaper ones, but I just want one speaker that I can carry in with me to work, or out by the pool in the backyard. I know the bass will be better on the Boombox, but is it that much better? If it is, then I'll get it, I just don't have anywhere near me that I can go listen to before purchasing. My current speaker for baseline is the Sony srs xb43 I was able to get at Walmar for $100 due to it being mispriced. Any and all help is much appreciated, thank you.

Should i get the boombox 3? It's been out for a couple years. Will a boombox 4 come out soon? There aren't any leaks too so if i wait for boombox 4 it will take so long. Boombox 3 still the same price as released from where im from. It's not fair for it's price but to be able to partyboost from my small jbl speakers i need something from jbl so it's a must. An alternate plan is jbl boombox 2 cuz it's alot cheaper now plus it's still a really good speaker. That way i won't lose money for jbl boombox3 when boombox4 comes out. Point is like getting an phone while a new one is soon yet to be released, price will drop as soon as a new one comes out and the value for the money becomes badd. So guys bb2 over bb3? Definetly not waiting for 4 cuz I know it will take long. BB2 and get BB4 when it gets released?
