JBL Boombox 3 Vs JBL Boombox 2 

Get it here: amzn.to/3g95EjX

It's very true about being a distance from the speaker to properly judge it - you will hear distortion that will disappear at distance because it's designed to be listened to at a distance where the different speaker sound waves combine to create its true presentation.

It’s a kinda hard to tell which one is better i have both and a lot of times my boombox 2 has louder bass then the bb3 but bb3 does sound a lot better on the rock, hardrock and metal songs but sometimes the boombox 2 takes the win on the heavy bass songs doesn’t really make sense but yeah 😅

I have two Boombox 2 and it has been the best investment I have made!!!. (There are no reason to update them for the BB3 it keep the same quality).

One thing I've noticed about the Boombox 3 subwoofer. When pushing it to its limits the coil warms up extremely along with the radiators, similarly to how it would heat up if it still had "lfm". On top of that the coil has blackened slightly and smelled a little overtime. If you want a probably longer lasting speaker, get the 2. The woofers on the 2 have better handling on the power the jbl boombox 2 puts out to them, even in lfm, other than potentially damaging the woofers from overexcursion.

ordered a BB2 on prime day 250. i'll be receiving it today, super excited!

Appreciate you man. Definitely getting the BB 3. I like the Squad camo. Definitely red or Turquoise would go hard asf.

Those rubber feet are a Achilles heal on the BB3. And the BB2 can be had for $299 so for now I’m sticking with the BB2. Also if I need more high’s I will pair it with my charge5 or flip5. The weight difference could be that charging block that they put inside the BB3 along with the extra drivers.

I had a forest green JBL Boombox 1 which is literally impossible to find in that color now. It was stolen by the dirty tow truckers last summer when I got towed. Now that I’m finally done mourning it’s loss, it’s time I upgrade. Right in time for Prime day. On sale at $249.99, I’d say the Boombox 2 is a no brainer. Thanks for the informative video

Thanks for your review the bb2 was on sale for $399 cdn so it was a better choice , however just got the bb3 for $449 and I think for an extra $50 it’s night and day !!

Excellent review! Love your enthusiasm and humor. Very articulate and knowledgeable too!

The untechnical tech channel 😂 I love that

I'm happy they kept the audio jack, it made me sad some of their cheaper options dropped it. It's just a nice option to have.

JBL speakers are mad good! Wow! Thanks for the review. I'll be saving for this 👍

They really need to move to USB-C PD for charging.... That would be the time for me to purchase.

i recently bought the bb 3 and mind you i already had the original bb so i played them side by side and i was surprised how unbalanced it was, the bb 3 completely blew bb out the water especially the bass. i had to order another bb 3🤣

you bring alot of energy keep it up. sorry for late answer lol

I received mine last week from sweetwater. Guys, dont waste your money on the bb3. Jbl dropped the ball on this one. It is not bassy at all in comparison to the bb2. As a matter of fact, I enjoy the bb2 way better.

hey, did they balance the mids/vocals with the new Update? Returned my speaker like 1 week before the update came xD thought it was way too unbalanced at 70% volume and above, the mids and highs was waaaay to high. Great video, keep it up! :)

Wow. The BB3 has an obvious overall better quality. Instrumental Separation and bass is amazing.

Great video! I’m very happy with the quality of my Soundcore Motion Boom and Motion Boom Plus speaker. If Soundcore had a boom box larger than the Motion Boom Plus, I would purchase it before I’d buy any JBL boom box.

The rubber things on the bottom would be the only reason why I would buy the boombox 2 cuz the new ones are really crappy, it’s soft rubber that’s just glued on

It's true you have to step back to really get the true pure sound out of the speaker and I prefer the sound and the style of the boombox 2 cause I have it and it is an amazing speaker and thank you New stuff TV for the amazing videos!

I’m wondering if I should just buy Boombox 2 used for a good price or should wait and buy Boombox 3 brand new at full price at a retail store?

Y’all tripping if you saying the bb2 better than the 3

I prefer the softer sound of my BB2

I feel like even though the BB3 might have more base, the BB2 as a "fuller" sound. The BB3's base is too kicky and sounds separate from the rest of the frequencies. But some people love the separation of sound between bass/mids/treble.

The Boombox models are always the most expensive models and have better audio quality, for example the boombox 3 many say that now it has too much power in the mids, but it is nothing more than that we got used to the fact that JBL always lacked high mids since its sound is in V, but now with its 3 audio channels it is a beauty of sound and separation of instruments, on my channel I have a video where I show the test of the channels separately from the boombox 3, proof that nobody has done so far.

I had that same popping when i bought some JBL smart speakers a year or two ago. thankfully like you said it ended. glad you mentioned it. I own a bunch of JBL speakers, both floor, bookshelf and smart. I love them all. they are awesome. I must compliment you on an excellent review and your insights. when you said about the JBL signature sound and lack of equalizer due to that, you nailed it. JBL has always been known as "west coast sound". that sound works for me. big bass and big booty. JBL nails it. one bit of trivia for you JBL lovers. JBL are the initials of James Ballough Lansing. He is the man behind JBL which goes way back to the 1940's. Here is the kicker. Mr Lansing ran into business problems with JBL in 1949. He committed suicide and left the insurance money to the company so it could continue on. and it did. And now YOU know the rest of the story. JBL 4 EVER. you are right about the 3 having better mid range and treble than the 2. but its $$$ for that upgrade. I can get a 2 right now for 240 on ebay from Harman Kardon. thats a smokin deal.

great review as always.... Question ? currently i am looking at the Boombox 2 or 3........ the 2 is on sale for 399 Canadian ( 293 US ) where the Boombox 3 is 599 Canadian....In your opinion is the Boombox 3 worth 200 more than the 2 ? or would i be just as happy with the 2 ? thx......cheers from Canada

The fact that when I went to shop for JBL products last month I couldn't find a JBL boombox 3, combined with the fact that this video is 3 days old. Shows that the JBL boombox 3 is NEW NEW

I like the design of the 3 but I am still rocking with the first one.

They sound a much better if you put in the corner of a room with solid walls then they boom lol

Still rocking my BB2. Will by the BB3 when the BB4 comes out. BB3s price right now is just way too high for me😅

great review!! glad you finally got one!!! jbls are great sounding speakers!! that signature sound! good to see you smile again bro!!!!

Bro what is name of your songs demo?! Specially in the 19mins some... Great videos btw 100%👌

Any recommendations for where I can buy Boombox 3 here in the Philippines?

I listened to this video through my UE Hyperboom and from what I heard the BB 3 sounds punchier than the BB 2

When will it be available in stores?

I just purchased the boombox 3. I've never listened to the boombox 2. I'll say this; the 3 has it's own powered subwoofer, which means it doesn't lose bass at higher volumes. In comparison to a speaker that's producing mids & bass, you'll lose bass at higher volumes, due to the fact that they're both relying on the same power supply. It's common sense.

Sitting in front of the speaker doesn’t make it good you have to be a bit far away

How does it sound outdoors? I'm planning to get the boombox three I've been waiting now for a couple of months?

I just need the BB2, Flip6, BB3,and the Pulse 5 and I'll have the whole partyboost speakers 🤓🥳

Your review a lot of exciting for me , dude Thnk you for wonderful review and yes jbl is one of the legendary audio brand in the world

I just sold my boombox 2 for $200, and I got the boombox 3 on a special sale (50%) for $250. Pretty cheap updrage. Pretty stupid that they added a usb-a port and not a usb-c on the boombox 3.

Great video! Would you mind telling me if this is dual voltage? I can’t see the details from the video. 🧐

The BB2 is $299 right now vs $449 for the BB3. Is the extra $150 worth it or should I go with the BB2.

nice comparisson,ill stick with the OG BB1 till this one breaks

Good review. Helped me go for the Boom box 3

Would be cool if they had a bigger Amp for the sub in the speaker

The bass from the 3 is definitely hitting way harder than the 2. Like 2x magnitude. Much more boom.

low bass both same but in boomybass it's differently boombox2 but i don't know why you not feel it as other RU-vidrs and me?🤔

What’s the music you have playing at 17:40? Great review. I have both sitting in front of me now. My biggest negative for the BB3 is stability factor. This thing really waddles compared to the BB2. I’m returning it for another BB2 for that reason alone. For a $500 speaker it should be planted to the ground better than this.

Great video brother. Mine should be here soon. Can't wait to put it next to the Boombox2, soundcore motion boom plus, tribit stormbox blast, Dimondboxx m3and several others. Way to go on getting one of the first ones out. Keep bringing it brother. Thank you!

Bb3 is unbelievable!

I'm currently watching this video on a jbl clip lol

What’s the name of the song at the beginning of the video? Thanks.

I love your energy!

Where do you get your instrumentals from?

The bb3 is probably better than the 2 it has to be, it's important to note that a speaker always needs a good 7 hours minimum of wear in time get the rubber surrounds loosened up to a more natural state the bb2 when I first got it was so heavy on certain notes placement was a pain in the ass, after about 15 hours play time below half volume it sounds so much better it's balanced its self out. What I'm trying to say it don't be fooled by just because it's a new model if the older ones got good reviews anyway and it's on a good deal grab it give it time!

BB2 and BB3 are good speaker. They can use as dumb bell to train your arm muscle. As BB2 weighs 5.9 kilogram and BB3 weighs 6.9 kilogram😅

I brought both compared both with latest firmware, boombox 2 is really good, but that boombox 3 hits harder bass wise, voices more foward and clear. sub bass is about the same in both. Boom box 3 is a little clearer better seperation. I kept boombox 3. Its also nicer looking and no big power block to charge just a simple cable.

What I read the bb2 has 2 x 40 watt rms subwoofers but the bb3 has a 80 watt rms subwoofer and 2x 40 watt rms subwoofers

19:54 it is NOT unnecessary, Its for tech savvy ones who understand and answers the question , which speaker is better , sometimes people look for that kind of info 👍

HEY GUYS, BOOMBOX 3 HAS NEWS FIRMWARE TO FIX ONLY THE BUGS!!!

I appreciate you for making this video !

Sounds like most of your review is 'close quarters', but.... if you took them both outside, which one is louder? I have the 2 and sometimes it's not loud enough for the ball park. Thank you for your help. Good video. 👍🏽

What is the name of the song man Antoine please 🙏 😭 you know what song 🎵 I'm talking about... From the beginning, between and at the end!! Please bro

And I still only have the first Boombox, camouflaged color.

Hey bro, What Camera Do You Record With😁

Bought my BB3 last month and sold it to my cousin...my BB2 smokes the BB3 in the bass department and volume...

Bought the jbl xtreme and it had the popping sound at max volume. Installed the update and it was just an update to be able to connect to newer speakers coming out. So ended up not being able to connect to the jbl charge 3 that I have. Bummer but I got the jbl boombox 2 because the xtreme blew.

I just got the Boombox 3 and I was wondering if the Aux port allows connection for the JBL wirless microphone set???

cant believe ppl think the bb3 is that much more louder its just 1 db

Do the video jbl flip 6 ,jbl charge 5 ,jbl xtreme 3 and jbl boommox 3 do party boost 😂😂😂😂

Did you plug it in while testing it says on web page it’ll be louder with more bass

Nice review. Getting wife the 3 then asking if she minds if I buy the 2 later. Lol

The adaptor for the BB2 was a pain when I opened the box Even more when I saw the adaptor was capable of running a full 100 watt meaning the speaker is full in under an hour However it charges around 45wats .....tfck !?

Great review! Thank you.

Said 'don't know what to do with this speaker'... Send em to me bro😭😭

The best portable speakers on the market are the Partybox line up. They destroy everything in sight including the BB3

What song was he playing at the beginning of the video ?

Thanks for the review, Semper Fi!

can you do a jbl boombox 3 sound test on this beat by sjbeats-flowed

Try using a jam called "Habano" it was made by nigma. Thank me later.

Jbl fan boys go while 😂🙌🙌🙌🙌🕺🕺🕺🕺🕺

What's good for indoor highschool basketball court, the boombox or partybox 310?

Neither are a big improvement over the 1st boombox. I'm also only saying this because I can't afford 2 and 3. Me and my boombox 1 are just talking crap.

Nice review keep up the good work

Does boombox 3 stream music from usb drive as u mentioned in ur explanation

All the way to 3 however 2 still sounds great. Both are amazing speaker 👏👏👏

How you turn boost like you do on JBL boombox 2 ... 2 is much louder with the boost .. but on bb3 it doesn't activate the same ? Is there a new command or?

Wish I had a boombox 3

BB2 is at 200$, BB3 is at 460$ here in our place, the price difference is more than double. 😂 while bb3 has better overall volume/clarity/bass/mids..its battery are the same with bb2, bb3 battery should have been around 12k mah.. yes, bb2 bass/mid/clarity drops past 80% volume. but im glad im used to set my speakers (edifier/altec/jbl charge 5) volume to 70% same with my phone volume always at 70%...to extend the life of speakers even by just a little bit...thats why the massive price down of BB2 since the release of BB3 is a win win situation for me.. P.S. BB3's Oval Subwoofer is at risk of early failure due to it's shape..the sound pressure isnt in equilibrium unlike if its circular shape..believe me upcoming BB versions wont be using that Oval Subwoofer anymore.

Whats the name of the song at the beginning?

Can you tell me the name of the song playing in this video please?

I think BB3 is the winner all the way..... Thanks for the comparative sound clips, it helped to make the decision clear.....

Listening to this on my OG Boombox 🤡 I'm bout to buy the 3 and sell this one.

Thank you for very helpful video.

Does it 2.1?
