About the JBL Boombox 3
Bigger sound all around
Bigger sound all around
Totally waterproof — and dustproof, too.
The JBL Boombox 3 gives you more sound than its predecessor, the Boombox 2, which was already a big hit with our customers. This time around, JBL used a three-way speaker system including a subwoofer for better clarity and bigger bass.
Rugged design
And you can take the Boombox 3 more places. It's totally waterproof and dustproof. So, go ahead, bring it to the beach or on camping trips. Then just rinse it off to clean it. The Boombox 3's built-in battery delivers up to 24 hours of non-stop music, so let the party begin.
3-way speaker design
The Boombox 3 delivers massive, detailed sound. It features two 3/4" tweeters for crisp, clean highs and a pair of 2-3/4" midrange drivers. The speaker also boasts a 3-3/16" powered subwoofer. And that's in addition to the dual side-firing passive radiators. You wanted bigger bass? You got it!
Do more with the JBL Portable app
JBL's control app is a free download for your Apple® or Android™ device. It lets you adjust speaker settings and easily manage software updates. You can also activate PartyBoost — a feature that lets you wirelessly connect multiple compatible JBL speakers for an even bigger sound. How many speakers can you connect simultaneously? All the PartyBoost-compatible speakers you have — there's no limit.
Power to spare
The speaker's built-in rechargeable battery gives you up to 24 hours of portable operation. An AC cable is included for charging the battery or running the system on AC power. There's also a USB Type-A charging output to keep your smartphone or tablet powered up with the Boombox 3. (USB cable not included.)

Dust & Water Proof (IP67-Rated): The JBL Boombox 3 features a rugged, rubber housing and is covered with durable waterproof fabric. The JBL Boombox 3 carries an IP67 dust and water proof rating, so you can take the portable Bluetooth speaker almost anywhere - rain or shine. The IP67-rating means the speaker can be safely submerged in water (up to 1m for up to 30 minutes), as well as protected against dust intrusion.
- To ensure that the JBL Boombox 3 is dust and water proof, please remove all cable connections and tightly close the connector cover; exposing the JBL Boombox 3 to liquids without doing so may result in permanent damage to the speaker.
- Do not expose the JBL Boombox 3 to water while connected to AC or charging a device, as doing so may result in permanent damage to the speaker or power source.

The Boombox 3 delivers optimum clarity, bass, and loudness to create the perfect balanced sound for indoor and outdoor environments.

You will need to continue to use your Bluetooth-enabled device for advanced music navigation and to view song/artist information.
- Dual Device Connection: You can pair multiple Bluetooth source devices with the Boombox 3 and connect two devices at a time, making it quick and easy to take turns sharing music from different devices.

From the JBL Portable app and your compatible Apple iOS or Android OS device, you can customize settings, unlock advance features, and get the latest firmware updates for the Boombox 3.

As we are a retired couple in our sixties, we are not in the marketing demographic of a "boombox." Bought one anyway. This speaker does justice to the Classical, Jazz and Folk music that we love so much.
