Great review! The sound pallet may be updated in the future though via software. They did this with the Xtreme 2 as well. You could update it via the app and after it sounded much fully, more balanced.
@K O If you were judging it entirely through the video... well that's your mistake. The comparison can give you an IDEA of the sound profile in comparison, but nowhere close to real-world experience. It's weird that you would have an issue with customization and versatility. I personally love the ability to modify and customize certain aspects of anything I buy. I have the Extreme 3 and it sounded great, but they released a firmware update allowing you to adjust the Bass/Mid/High on the speaker itself. Couples with the EQ settings of my phone, I can change the sound of the speaker dramatically to match my personal taste. I don't see that as anything other than a win, but seeing as I was only 2 years old when you were wearing those headphones, I assume your age may have you behind the curve of these technological advancements.
Didn’t think I’d see you here! But yes. JBL Xtreme 2 is far better than both the Original and the 3. It seems like the treble on the 3 sounds more like the original than the 2! come on JBL, you’ve gone backwards!
I love my Xtreme 2 I got 1 month ago I haven’t heard the Xtreme 3 but judging from what people have been telling me is that it’s not worth spending extra also you won’t be disappointed with the Xtreme 2 it has insanely crisp sound quality deep punchy bass and it gets loud asf without distortion it also is well balanced
You said you got an Xtreme 2 one month ago. That should mean you have the GG model which is the one with the most amount of bass it has even more bass than the Xtreme 3

At first the new design looked stupid but I’m starting to dig it. Kind of like a throwback to the original logo they had on their og speakers. Looks more durable as well.
It's so fantastic that the Xtreme 3 Charges through type C, and appears to charge using the Power Delivery standard, meaning if you have a USB C power bank that supports PD charging it should fast charge the Xtreme 3

You might have to lever it open with something small like me if you don't have long nails
I don't understand why people like the treble on the Xtreme 2, The Xtreme 3 has much more quality and more clear treble, it sounds better and the bass is amazing, i think JBL did an amazing job with the Xtreme 3
Listening to another review, it sounded like the 3 had more bass, but that could be because of it having higher highs. I just bought a 2 a few days ago and liked it so much that I got another one last night. Basing it on that the 2 sounded better than the 3. Now I'm starting to question my research.

Just a fyi for people who have the xtreme 2 and wanna upgrade but can’t afford the xtreme 3 or the boom box for under 40$ you can modify the xtreme 2 by purchasing 2 4 inch 90degree pvc elbows they fit perfectly on the passive radiators on the xtreme2 you can also color match if you’d like and you can add a 2 foot section of 4 inch pvc to each side make sure you fill it with poly Fill or it sounds like crap, but it’s a cheap way to improve bass and sq doesn’t look the best but you can test with different lengths and elbows they all fit the passive radiators perfectly I encourage you to experiment with different lengths but make sure you use polyfil
I have both irl and the 2 definitely has more of a surround sound affect with it where the 3 has more bass and up front volume, kind of sounds like a bigger charge 4 but clearer. Edit: also the xtreme 2 has more weight to it, might be bigger magnets, or the xtreme 3 just has a much lighter design.

And those lights are not quite my style... Good to know about the JBL qc issues tho. I think I'm gonna go with the Teufel Rockster Cross then maybe...;o)
@@Magicmarker231 i mean you can go with the xtreme 3 if you want to, it’s not guaranteed to have these issues, just keep the receipt amd the box and everything just incase. My friend has the xtreme 3 and hers seems fine. JBL does have qc issues though (my friend’s jbl earbuds stopped charging after 4 days)
Both speakers are on sale now: Extreme 2 is $150 and Extreme 3 is $250. I ordered the 2 from Amazon just because I couldn't tell the difference and the 2 also has the built-in microphone for long conference calls.
Press and hold the bluetooth and minus buttons for 10 seconds and the deep bass will turn off and the volume will increase noticeably. Then just turn the bass up in the app.
Sooo,I bought a extreme 1 about 2 years ago, I just recently bought a extreme 2. I get it home and after a half hour / 45 mins, realized that it wouldn’t connect to the 1!😠 the whole reason why I bought the 2 was that I would connect them together! I don’t want to use auxiliary cords!!! So now I have to go buy another extreme 2 because it won’t connect to the 3!!!😠😠😠 jbl stop playing games with your loyal customers!!! Stop being greedy!!! If this is what jbl is going to keep doing , I’m moving on to another big name high quality brand who don’t f--- over their customers, so disappointed!! I would like to say to the young man in the video thank you, it was a good video, would have liked to know the frequency range but I’m sure I know it already, just like the other 2 . Stay safe.
Could you please tell me how the JBL extreme performs for large indoor parties (like a full Living room)? I upgraded from the charge 4 to extreme 3 because the charge 4 was not loud enough for my parties. I’m a bit scared the extreme 3 is too😅
Yes, that's why I went and got the extreme 2. That slanted slope on the extreme 3 just look ugly and definitely not that appealing comparing to the extreme 1 and 2.
Xtreme 1 is the BEST. I’ve owned Xtreme 1 and the Xtreme 3, it’s surprising how much warmer and pleasant Xtreme1 will fill a room. The X.3 is unpleasant to listen to in my opinion
I like that new desing. More agressive, cooler, with for people means something strong, special. The bass is richier, more clear and also in medium and highs, mainly the bass. Just that cost 350 is for me unactepted, because u can get for 300 original boombox. Usb c and party boost is only good diference ( yea, also weight ).
Thanks for the review. I got one as gift at work. Question: Where can I get replacement shoulder strap? The fastener on the end broke off. Tried screwing it back on but doesn’t stay. Thanks ahead for your help.
The USB c Dingle thing you get with the new Samsung phones to plug a flash drive in to the phone and read your files the same can be done if you put the adapter in the USB C port it'll play whatever you have in your flash drive mine does!
Well @@Arbor_Solutions , that's not really a comparison, it's an opinion based on your preferences. It's fine that you don't mind weight, dust proofing, and more scratchable plastic surfaces, however a true comparison, gives objective data as to whether the loudness advantage of the boombox 2, is sufficient to overcome the drawbacks, and to decide that I need to see a dB comparison, and a frequency chart.
We'll that is sony's sound Signature . With their portable speakers. Im using XB41sound quality is really bad 🥺. Now I'm switching with JBL . Xtreme 3 to be exact.
Great Review, and finally a reviewer that claims the facts about the Xtreme 3 and it's too damn bright according to me, sounding hard in my ears. Not nice at all! Not as good in mids and the sourrounding feel of voices in the room or outdoor space as the Xtreme 2. I bought the Xtreme 2, and a great performance speaker with good details and bass. I use an ONKYO app, to do EQ settings, then you can nail it when playing loud, and not have the bass drop after 80% volume (if you reduce the entire frequenzy curce down to around -6,5db)
Miss my og xtreme was a real head turner when it first came out, my lipo battery died and then I ruined the charging cable and that was the end of that, battery only lasted 1 year and used it with the cable for the next 2
Do the dual speakers within the Xtreme 3 run in stereo? If you pair it with another Xtreme 3, do they switch to both running left or right, so you can get a broader stereo spread with two of Xtreme 3’s?
Hi everyone, I have 2 jbls flip 5 speakers. Love how they sound on stereo mode but I want to upgrade to something even better. Would you recommend selling them to get the xtreme 3? I went to a store and listened to charge 5 and it didn't convinced me, I felt my two speakers were louder. What would you guys recommend? I want something louder with a clear sound and more bass
I got 4 xtreme 2s iv collected over the past few yrs I got the navy blue " dark blue one " the red one and the camo and I got a custom Xtreme 2 I rebuilt n changed it's color. It's Hella nice it's a ice white color now it used to be the dark blue one as well. Which tbh my fav color was the dark blue one. Ppl say it's black but it's Def not black it's more a navy blue. Anyway I also got the Xtreme 1s I got 2 of em a camo version and a red one which yep I still use the OG today lol. And as for the xtreme 3 I got 4 of them as well. I bought 3 brand new two at Walmart and one on Amazon. I got one dark blue and two camo ones. Now tbh I like the xtreme 3 looks it's a nice speaker unit. But tbh I prefer the sound signature of the Xtreme 2 over em all.. and honestly the xtreme 2 prob is the best xtreme model to date. Now reason the xtreme 3 feels a Lil cheaper... the weight issue is because they used Neo motor woofers in the 3rd Gen and the older 2nd Gen used ferrite motor woofers. Which the motors on the xtreme 2s woofers are much larger than the xtreme 3s... but it doesn't mean the xtreme 2s woofers are better... neo is stronger n a better material for driver motors. But honestly the xtreme 2 sounds a Lil better to me personally... now when it comes to white xtreme 2 I customized n modded... it straight blows em all out of the water 😆. It's a 400 watt blue tooth system.. better drivers better amplifiers better tweeters... everything fits inside so it looks the same functions the same but can't connect to other jbl speakers though... but sound wise... the bass is insane and it's output is way more than the original technology it had... and it's a good amount louder than both my jbl boom box 2s
Can you run your laptop sound thru these without a big hassle, I want no wires to laptop? Laptop is too quiet for my bad hearing. I heard one of the JBL's in Walmart the other day and couldn't believe how loud it was for the size....reminded me of my old Bose shelf speakers.
Keeping my jbl xtreme 2 because I love it and use it every day but I also want the partybox 310. Jbl xtreme 3 I've heard really mixed reviews on. I would wait.
@@matlov1684 YES extremely hard to open its insane other than that I love it I use in the shower so I guess it ok if it prevents the water from going in but holy cow the things hard to open Edit: I've torn mine too
When are they gonna stop changing the party connect technology. Just leave it so it can connect to speakers outside the generation smh

@@Magicmarker231 xb43, xtreme 3 currently have qc issues from my experience with it. Got two faulty units in a row.
@@simong7948 Thanks for the quick reply. My buddy has one of the smaller Sony speakers but I don't like the sound that much. Lots of bass and warm sound but no treble. And those lights are not quite my style... Good to know about the JBL qc issues tho. I think I'm gonna go with the Teufel Rockster Cross then maybe...;o)
@@Magicmarker231 i mean you can go with the xtreme 3 if you want to, it’s not guaranteed to have these issues, just keep the receipt amd the box and everything just incase. My friend has the xtreme 3 and hers seems fine. JBL does have qc issues though (my friend’s jbl earbuds stopped charging after 4 days)
Both speakers are on sale now: Extreme 2 is $150 and Extreme 3 is $250. I ordered the 2 from Amazon just because I couldn't tell the difference and the 2 also has the built-in microphone for long conference calls.
Press and hold the bluetooth and minus buttons for 10 seconds and the deep bass will turn off and the volume will increase noticeably. Then just turn the bass up in the app.
First time i see your review. And you are really a talented reviewer🙌
Sooo,I bought a extreme 1 about 2 years ago, I just recently bought a extreme 2. I get it home and after a half hour / 45 mins, realized that it wouldn’t connect to the 1!😠 the whole reason why I bought the 2 was that I would connect them together! I don’t want to use auxiliary cords!!! So now I have to go buy another extreme 2 because it won’t connect to the 3!!!😠😠😠 jbl stop playing games with your loyal customers!!! Stop being greedy!!! If this is what jbl is going to keep doing , I’m moving on to another big name high quality brand who don’t f--- over their customers, so disappointed!! I would like to say to the young man in the video thank you, it was a good video, would have liked to know the frequency range but I’m sure I know it already, just like the other 2 . Stay safe.
Now that it's got type C dose that mean I can change the speaker in my car.
Or do we still need the brick.
It should charge, but it won’t charge as quick as charging it from the wall
U can adjust the eq if you have the Spotify app for toning the highs
5:11 Does that mean that when charging they have better bass? 🤔🙂
Yes
Awesome review ❤️
Everything you said is absolutely right 👍
Warmer signature exactly!! Same with the Bose Smart soundbar 300, less warm more bright making the bass get knocked out.
11:57 what type of speaker is that
JBL partybox on the go
Thanks! i was long waiting for this video in your channel
my friend is still using the original jbl xtreme :) works totally fine 😃 im using the original jbl boombox
Could you please tell me how the JBL extreme performs for large indoor parties (like a full Living room)? I upgraded from the charge 4 to extreme 3 because the charge 4 was not loud enough for my parties. I’m a bit scared the extreme 3 is too😅
Been waiting for this video!!!
Mines getting here tomorrow
Mine gets here tomorrow 😁
I got mine 3 days ago on my birthday but honestly I think extreme 2 is better than extreme 3
@@beanbagsdeath896 omg good thing I got the xtreme 2 because I was going to get the 3 but then I changed it
@@bty_frogy3730 honestly people who get it just want to flex on their friends that they have money.
@@beanbagsdeath896 yeah I liked the design on the xtreme 2 better so I got it and it was cheaper since it was on Black Friday and it gets here today
My JBL xtreme 3 is insane bass cars went fast down the street because of the low frequency bass 53 hertz they scared of the pure bass! Music 🎶 🎵
Uhm, IMO the Extreme 2 is the most balanced among the them. 🤔
Yes, that's why I went and got the extreme 2. That slanted slope on the extreme 3 just look ugly and definitely not that appealing comparing to the extreme 1 and 2.
It's probably got the software update already though whereas the 3 was new.
The fact that the extreme 2 is now cheaper and I couldn't tell the difference from the new one is cool.
Xtreme 1 is the BEST. I’ve owned Xtreme 1 and the Xtreme 3, it’s surprising how much warmer and pleasant Xtreme1 will fill a room. The X.3 is unpleasant to listen to in my opinion
Love the new look, its a hit or miss.
What should i buy.? Marshall kilburn 2 or jbl xtreme 3? Please reply
I have 4 flip 5 I use in the backyard for bbqs. Party boost is the best. The other systems don’t work near as good
I like that new desing. More agressive, cooler, with for people means something strong, special. The bass is richier, more clear and also in medium and highs, mainly the bass. Just that cost 350 is for me unactepted, because u can get for 300 original boombox. Usb c and party boost is only good diference ( yea, also weight ).
Thanks for the review. I got one as gift at work. Question: Where can I get replacement shoulder strap? The fastener on the end broke off. Tried screwing it back on but doesn’t stay. Thanks ahead for your help.
The USB c Dingle thing you get with the new Samsung phones to plug a flash drive in to the phone and read your files the same can be done if you put the adapter in the USB C port it'll play whatever you have in your flash drive mine does!
How about a "vs Boombox 2"?
Not even close, just get the boombox if you want the best.
Well @@Arbor_Solutions , that's not really a comparison, it's an opinion based on your preferences. It's fine that you don't mind weight, dust proofing, and more scratchable plastic surfaces, however a true comparison, gives objective data as to whether the loudness advantage of the boombox 2, is sufficient to overcome the drawbacks, and to decide that I need to see a dB comparison, and a frequency chart.
Great video,
Will it charge of 5v powerbank, or does it need to be 20v?
It charges with 20v 3a power brick what comes with it.
OLDER 2 is much better in sound quality :)
Do you know when they're releasing it cause I live in Canada and it's not out yet
just emailed the canada sales team, they said its gonna be out in feb 2021
My sony xb43 is making a really loud distortion sound anyone know why it's doing that?
Well...becouse its a sony .... I have an mhc v-41 and on full volume sounds like crap
If you are running apple device use the Macintosh app, sound is much cleaner
@@audiioaddiict im running on android device
We'll that is sony's sound Signature . With their portable speakers. Im using XB41sound quality is really bad 🥺. Now I'm switching with JBL . Xtreme 3 to be exact.
@GymCaddy, would you say the xtreme 2 is still worth buying this year?
Great Review, and finally a reviewer that claims the facts about the Xtreme 3 and it's too damn bright according to me, sounding hard in my ears. Not nice at all!
Not as good in mids and the sourrounding feel of voices in the room or outdoor space as the Xtreme 2.
I bought the Xtreme 2, and a great performance speaker with good details and bass. I use an ONKYO app, to do EQ settings, then you can nail it when playing loud, and not have the bass drop after 80% volume (if you reduce the entire frequenzy curce down to around -6,5db)
You need to visit your doctor if your say xtreme 3 sounds awkward. 😊
Like you mentioned, My personal preference is also for Xtreme 2 over Xtreme 3. Xtreme 3 don't have microphone to make calls, so a bummer.
Great review. Thank you👍
Gym Please tell me about the watts of extreme 3 in Battery mode, is its 40 watts or 30watts
Thanks for the review and thanks for the comparison.
Miss my og xtreme was a real head turner when it first came out, my lipo battery died and then I ruined the charging cable and that was the end of that, battery only lasted 1 year and used it with the cable for the next 2
I bought a new xtreme 3 and on bigger bass it crackling a little speaker its new from store not used idk what a problem do anyone know?
Do the dual speakers within the Xtreme 3 run in stereo? If you pair it with another Xtreme 3, do they switch to both running left or right, so you can get a broader stereo spread with two of Xtreme 3’s?
Yes. Dual xtremes will give you left and right stereo
@@GYMCADDY What about one Xtreme 3 with the dual internal speakers; are they left and right? Thanks.
@@lukealberti5094 Mono
Nice vid.
Will you cover the jbl reflect mini nc? They look good but no one has a video on them
Should I buy this or Sony SRS XP500? For home use only
Jbl 110
@@GYMCADDY turns out it's not avalible where i live.. ☹️ I like the size of XP500 but i guess Xtreme 2 will play as loud and good as the Sony
Am I the only one that thinks the Xtreme 3 looks good?
Literally considering the xtreme just for that shoulder strap. Does anyone know of any other good speakers with a shoulder strap?
just the xtreme series
the partybox on the go also has a strap but it's a failed piece of shit
altec lansing xpedition 4?
Teufel Rockster Cross, the best speaker so far.
Buy an xtreme 2 and put the new strap onto it
@@tacticalidiot175 yup
Is it just my hearing or does the 3 sound too tinny compared to 2
Why isn’t the xtreme 3 in stock, also does anybody know when it will be restocked
4:38 that would work well with my two DJ controllers the pioneer DDJ sb3 and the ddj-400 😎😎🔥🔥
AY same here bro I use mine on my ddj 400 honestly works so well. But I've got the xtreme 2 😂
@@liamstock4040 lol bro I use my Xtreme 2 on my ddj-400 the other day at my job 🎊🎊🎊🎊
@@DJShuffle07 Honestly when it's all wireless you know your in for a treat and the portability wise. its on a whole new level 😂
Hi everyone, I have 2 jbls flip 5 speakers. Love how they sound on stereo mode but I want to upgrade to something even better. Would you recommend selling them to get the xtreme 3? I went to a store and listened to charge 5 and it didn't convinced me, I felt my two speakers were louder. What would you guys recommend? I want something louder with a clear sound and more bass
Did you ever upgrade?
You and floss great reviews
thanks man
@@GYMCADDY no problem
I feel so dumb to ask, but what is the app that you are using on your iPad?
The Xtreme 3 sounds the all-round best
I got 4 xtreme 2s iv collected over the past few yrs I got the navy blue " dark blue one " the red one and the camo and I got a custom Xtreme 2 I rebuilt n changed it's color. It's Hella nice it's a ice white color now it used to be the dark blue one as well. Which tbh my fav color was the dark blue one. Ppl say it's black but it's Def not black it's more a navy blue. Anyway I also got the Xtreme 1s I got 2 of em a camo version and a red one which yep I still use the OG today lol. And as for the xtreme 3 I got 4 of them as well. I bought 3 brand new two at Walmart and one on Amazon. I got one dark blue and two camo ones. Now tbh I like the xtreme 3 looks it's a nice speaker unit. But tbh I prefer the sound signature of the Xtreme 2 over em all.. and honestly the xtreme 2 prob is the best xtreme model to date. Now reason the xtreme 3 feels a Lil cheaper... the weight issue is because they used Neo motor woofers in the 3rd Gen and the older 2nd Gen used ferrite motor woofers. Which the motors on the xtreme 2s woofers are much larger than the xtreme 3s... but it doesn't mean the xtreme 2s woofers are better... neo is stronger n a better material for driver motors. But honestly the xtreme 2 sounds a Lil better to me personally... now when it comes to white xtreme 2 I customized n modded... it straight blows em all out of the water 😆. It's a 400 watt blue tooth system.. better drivers better amplifiers better tweeters... everything fits inside so it looks the same functions the same but can't connect to other jbl speakers though... but sound wise... the bass is insane and it's output is way more than the original technology it had... and it's a good amount louder than both my jbl boom box 2s
Can you run your laptop sound thru these without a big hassle, I want no wires to laptop? Laptop is too quiet for my bad hearing. I heard one of the JBL's in Walmart the other day and couldn't believe how loud it was for the size....reminded me of my old Bose shelf speakers.
If your laptop is bluetooth compatible (which most are these days), sure
Can you compare it to the soundcore boom 2 and also in case you are going to review the boom 2 can you let me know if that can be used plugged ?
Wow I Love the Shape of this BoomBox Speaker!!! Like a Something I Knew!!! 😀😁😀
its not a boom box wtf is your name
Nice review.
Is good for me?
I'm looking for the speakers l can use for Zumba outdoor.
Once that price tag of Xtreme 3 drops down to around 275 then ill review it not that big of an upgrade compair to the xtreme 2 to cost so much more
Keeping my jbl xtreme 2 because I love it and use it every day but I also want the partybox 310. Jbl xtreme 3 I've heard really mixed reviews on. I would wait.
Are you having any trouble with the charging flap on your Xtreme 2? Mine is super hard to open and it has started to tear...
@@matlov1684 YES extremely hard to open its insane other than that I love it I use in the shower so I guess it ok if it prevents the water from going in but holy cow the things hard to open
Edit: I've torn mine too
Do they sell the chargers itself? I need another one! Can’t find one online
I was needing this video. Thanks a lot
