Bluetooth button, volume controls, play/pause, and the bass-friendly PartyBoost.
If you’ve owned an Xtreme speaker in the past, you know what to expect. On top you’ve got the typical physical controls so standard they are almost not even worth mentioning at this point. If you want a poolside speaker, the Xtreme 3 is about as good as you can get. The built-in handles (for aforementioned strap) help with this, but its fine to just pick this up and lug it around.Īn IP67 rating means the Xtreme 3 is reliably water and dust resistant and can be submerged up to 1m for 30 minutes with no issue. JBL hasn’t diverged from the previous design language here, so it still feels chunky despite its portable build. Black or blue look much better for the 5.4 x 11.8 x 5.3 (HWD) inch speaker.Īt just under 2kg, the cylindrical Xtreme 3 is fine to carry around. To reiterate just how outdoorsy this speaker is, there’s even a neat camouflage colourway which is interesting, but quite loud.

This is a speaker intended to be placed next to red cups full of cheap beer at college parties (or yellow cups full of sparkling at picnics). It’s not like JBL want this speaker to sit on the bookshelf at a dinner party, impressing guests with how seamless it fits in with your apartment’s design scheme. I mean, the carry strap included with the speaker has its own bottle opener. JBL like their gaudy lights and rugged looks, and that’s fine, because a strong performance makes up for any ugliness. It’s practical, but still unappealing when compared to the more sophisticated aesthetics being employed by companies like Bang & Olufsen, Sony, Sonos and Samsung. Designįine that semi-circular look is getting old. As such, the JBL Xtreme 3 is one of their finest products to date. And with this current winning streak, of course the reliable, bass-obsessed brand is going to lift their game for their Xtreme series of wireless Bluetooth speakers. I don’t know what JBL did but their speakers lately have been hitting more home runs than the brand usually does.
