Reviewer score 95% (normalized by Neofiliac)The JBL Xtreme 3 boasts two 20-millimeter tweeters and two 70-mm woofers. The speakers pack a hell of a punch while gaming and jamming out to music.

- Easy to set up and use
Cons
- No audio settings

Reviewer score 84% (normalized by Neofiliac)On tracks with intense sub-bass content, the Xtreme 3 delivers powerful low-frequency depth. At top volume levels, the DSP prevents distortion by thinning the bass out a bit. An IP67 rating means you can take the speaker anywhere, and the removable strap makes it easy to do so.
Pros
- Powerful bass depth
- Powerful passive radiators
- Easy to use
Cons
- No wireless charging
- No built-in EQ

Reviewer score 25% (normalized by Neofiliac)The JBL Xtreme 3 has a warm sound profile with a neutral mid-range. It struggles to reproduce low-bass and its treble is underemphasized.

- Long-lasting battery life
- Well-built and portable design

- Good build quality and durable design with Long-lasting Battery life.

- Slight compression artifacts at max volume
- Can't play podcasts in different rooms in your home

trustedreviews[6]
Reviewer score 79% (normalized by Neofiliac)The JBL Xtreme 3 has fewer features than its predecessor. There’s no Google Assistant, Alexa or Siri support, no EQ and no Wi-Fi. You do get a companion app, but there isn’t an awful lot in it. Bass is powerful but not boomy, and there's solid separation throughout the sound.
Pros
- Powerful bass
- Attractive design
- Easy to use
Cons
- No Google Assistant, Alexa or Siri support
- No Wi-Fi

Reviewer score 88% (normalized by Neofiliac)The Xtreme 3 boasts 100W of total power, which is up from the 80W of its predecessor. Bluetooth 5.1 is supported and you can have two devices connected at once so people can take it in turns to play their tunes. Bassheads should be more than satisfied with the healthy amount of bass that's conjured up.
Pros
- Sleek design
- Excellent sound quality
- Solid battery life
Cons
- No smart functionality
