This Portable Waterproof JBL Speaker Is Now $200.
The JBL Xtreme 3 may not be the brand’s newest model, but it remains one of the most reliable portable outdoor speakers on the market, boasting powerful bass and rich sound, a rugged design that can withstand the elements, and the ability to connect to other JBL speakers for an even more impressive sound. And right now, the JBL Xtreme 3 is 39% off on Amazon for $199.98 (original price: $329.95).
Available in three colors, the Xtreme 3 bag weighs 4.4 pounds and features built-in handles and a removable shoulder strap, making it even more portable and preventing it from slipping. Its IP67 rating means it’s submersible in up to one meter of water for 30 minutes, making it safe for lounging by the pool and beach, as well as for rinsing off after dusty adventures.
Controls are located on the top and include all the usual functions, such as power, Bluetooth pairing, volume, and play/pause, as well as PartyBoost, which allows you to connect them to other compatible speakers. The companion app is fairly minimalist; it offers firmware updates and basic audio feedback controls, but lacks an adjustable equalizer, which is the only drawback at this price point (though the $130 discount makes it a more attractive proposition). Speakerphone functionality is also missing.
Battery life is up to 15 hours depending on volume level, and the Xtreme 3 supports AAC and SBC codecs. With four drivers and two passive radiators, this speaker delivers impressive sound quality. According to PCMag , which awarded it an Editor’s Choice award, it offers “powerful bass depth,” and its DSP prevents distortion, even if it does come at the expense of slightly softened bass.
If you’re looking for a durable, waterproof speaker that can withstand your adventures and deliver loud, bass-filled sound both indoors and outdoors, the JBL Xtreme 3 is a great choice, made even more appealing with a 39% discount just in time for warmer weather.
