"the boombox 3 is honestly the king of flat responses at max volume. ... The bass can keep up all the way to 100% which is far better than any other speasker on the market afaik. ... But the bass response is completely flat at max volume."


"The boombox 3 is the best sounding, deep bass speaker for its size and weight class."


"Bass reponse is insane, it keeps up all the way to max volume. ... No other jbl speaker has that and the bass would usually drop off at like 70%."

"At lower volumes, however, I would say that the UBOOM X offers the better sound quality, as the bass on the Boombox is unnaturally boosted."


"The boombox is slightly more bass-heavy, while the UBOOM X sounds very balanced and can be adjusted very well in the app with EQs to suit different listening situations."

It's simple, since you're willing to take any of them to the park, i assume that size and weight doesn't matter too much, so, it all comes down to the sound and price, and in that regard, the partybox is cheaper and way more powerful. The Boombox 3 has more battery life though, but i doubt you'll drain an entire partybox 120 on just a day of playing, and even then, its battery is replaceable, so you can buy another battery and swap it when the first runs out. Another point to note is that bb3 is waterproof and the partybox is not, but i assume no one is playing basketball on a rainy day.

I've been using JBL Boombox 3 for a while now, It's got a great battery life but it's a little heavy then Bose SoundLink Max, and great sound quality.

I read plenty of reviews and purchased a few disappointing speakers, recently stumbled across a used boombox 3 for $200 and just went for it and I been very impressed on how good it actually sounds. I think when this one gives out I will replace with yet another boombox 3 or a PartyBox because I have yet to be let down by a JBL but my trick is I always get them on a sale, clearance or used lol

I mean for the big speakers a partybox 210 is like okay (also speakers of the same size usually sound very similar), 310 is the best for medium sized rooms and anything above is practically not needed. For the medium sized ones, a boombox 3, charge 4/5/6 are pretty good cost/sound sound variants. For the smaller/little ones it's hard to choose, since you usually can't get much bass out of them. I chose mine by the specs and knowledge. JBL has been around for years and has developed a pretty huge ecosystem of syncing tws clear sounding speakers. Although they're pretty pricey, I think most of their speakers are worth it. How to choose: Ratings/comments under product Specs (Size, wattage and speaker range. The lower it goes, the better it usually is.) Price: must not be overpriced. The less rgb the lower the price (usually (not talking about partyboxes rn))

Yes, I would see it that way, too. How did you get such a great deal? I had to pay a few euros more than you did, but it's still incredible value for money. I decided to buy a pair. For me, it was the best purchase I've ever made for Bluetooth speakers. Now, for less than €200, I have an excellent-sounding, portable stereo sound system that works just as well indoors as it does outdoors, and is perfect for personal use, get-togethers with friends or small private events. I have to disagree with you on one point. I had the opportunity to compare my UBOOM X with a Boombox 3, and I would say that the UBOOM X can definitely compete with it. The Boombox has slightly more power. But in terms of sound quality, there is only little difference, and the UBOOM X keeps up well up to around 80–90% volume of the Boombox 3. The sound provided by two UBOOM Xs in TWS (stereo) is clearly superior to that of a single Boombox 3.

Boombox 3 or 4 are solid choices if budget is not an issue. If you also plan to use the speaker indoors get boombox WiFi version.
