Just bought the Xtreme 3 after selling my old Xtreme 2. As an audiophile, I can confirm the Xtreme 3 has a deeper bass and sounds more refined. Very happy about it.

[@lukepjd]

Hi Alan, happy new year mate and thanks for the cracking content you keep treating us to. I've just bought the Xtreme 3 as I got an extremely good price. I went to activate low freq mode to try and it went louder and less bass heavy so as standard it was in LFM. First impressions out the box were good but slight disappointment at dsp lowering bass as it got louder. Then after deactivating LFM and adding bit more bass through phone eq I'm absolutely blown away by the sheer volume and power this has. I actually can't believe the difference. I went back into low freq mode and it sounded crap so maybe LFM just for low level maybe. I would say that the battery life will be massively improved when in normal mode. I'm literally hammering this thing at the mo and can't get it to distort hardly. Ahh yes.... Dial back treble slightly in normal mode. Cheers

[@alanrossreviews]

not sure where this lfm idea came from. this has always been a service mode that bypasses some dsp and limiting. plenty of people have blown their speakers like this. if you like it then cool but its not a hidden low frequency mode. you get more bass because you no longer have the limiters which are their to cut distortion. the x3 is a decent listen but did you see my xtreme 3 vs rave neo and motion boom?

[@247kokoman]

Thanks for the review!! I been waiting and waiting for the extreme3 here in the USA. But the extreme2 just went on sale at Target $149.99 US so I just got it. I could buy two extreme2 at this price and still have $50 in my pocket.

Have you noticed any changes through the years? 👍🤔😁

[@djijspeakerguy4628]

Having seen the inside of an xtreme 3 on a video, it seems the woofers now have smaller, lighter neodymium magnets, which are just as powerful if not more. The benefits of these are that the speaker will be lighter. (That’s where the 1/2kg went.) And it also means the magnets do not take up as much space in the speaker box, allowing for deeper bass!

[@korsion]

Excellent review. Thank you.

[@alanrossreviews]

You're welcome 😊

[@reinoutvanvlaenderen720]

Great review, detailed with sound analysis and enough of samples. I'm listening to this review on high end studio speakers, and everything what you say is actually spot on. Good to have pointed out that which speaker a person prefers can also be prone to tolerance of a person and sensitivity to higher frequency sounds. The JBL Xtreme 3 seemed overall more pleasing with more detailed distinction in picking up details into the songs (and flatter frequency response), but it did indeed sounds at moments quite harsh in the higher end frequencies, which could cause much quicker (painful) ear fatigue. Perfect advise also in the end: it is a boombox, not a speaker designed to listen to on lower volumes and being able to get a studio sound where you can pick up the fine details in music. It's designed to create a big of a small party athmosphere. IMO: I liked the increased clarity of the JBL Xtreme 3 in the mid frequencies, but it don't like the quality of the higher frequencies which sound too harsh. Still room for improvement on that part.

[@alanrossreviews]

what it does it give deeper bass than most of the alternatives, that would be the reason for me to pick it up, for a dollop of bottom end but once the novelty goes its onto others 😜

[@modelotime3608]

As someone who lives in the us im glad you released this comparison today. I bought an xtreme 2 yesterday for $149 at best buy i figured the xtreme 3 wont sound that much better then the 2 just like the 2 was to the 1. So im glad i didnt wait to pay full price for the xtreme 3

[@djmaurozenidjmauz9834]

I'm Italian .... I have 2 question in is possible ( extreme 3 ) 1) Is it normal for the speaker to play louder when the power cable is connected? I got it on purpose because it was battery operated but in this case the performance is different whether powered or not. 2) If I connect it to the mixer with the cable, is it possible that the first time, or after a period of silence, there is a delay of about one second in the start of the audio? (it's like it goes tand by)

About USB-C port on the Xtreme 3. It says IN/OUT does that mean you can charge 2 devices?

[@linkhoochoon3]

I didn't like the sound of xtreme 2 and really enjoyed listening to the trance genre on xtreme 1. I liked the punchy bass as you put it. Xtreme 2 was really underwhelming for me and didn't sound "strong" like the xtreme 1. Do you think xtreme 3 can be an upgrade for me that like the sound of that the 1 and not the 2? I didn't "feel" the music as much as while using xtreme 2 (only on 1.6 firmware) but xtreme 1 was great. My setup now is 2 xtreme 1s paired together. Thanks Alan

[@alanrossreviews]

hard to say, x3 has even less upper bass than x2 but goes deeper now. what it does have a clearer sound thanks to the big 12khz peak which might sway things back in its favour against the x1.

[@TheAreJaySea]

Awesome vid. More info than a lot of other "reviews". I just ordered an Xtreme 2 here in the states on sale for $150 (114 pounds) the Xtreme 3 is going to be $350 here and I just don't see it sounding $200 (150+ pounds) better. Thanks for the great insight on these speakers!

[@alanrossreviews]

if money matters gets the xtreme 2, if you would something a bit clearer and a bit deeper in the bass get the xtreme 3. for me that difference is enough to go from boombox only to something that can be listened to everyday for a wider range of music.

Hey man I’m a basshead and apparently the xtreme 1 is boomy, is it true? I want a cheap one that can deliver a boomy deep bass

[@alanrossreviews]

boomy or boosted? the 1 had the most boosted upper bass, not much deep bass. x2 was better and x3 even more so for deep bass but x3 lacks some upper bass and x2 is the best tradeoff.

[@s33saudios]

It's that light because it has small neodym magnets, they are smaller and stronger than normal magnets!!

[@alanrossreviews]

Yup! Tx 🤗

Why not big ones :)

[@rey_nemaattori]

@ Cuz neodymium is more expensive and I believe is even denser than iron. So having bigger neodym magnets would drive both the price and the weight up, decrease battery life, without adding any real benefits. The amount of sound produced is basically the volume of air moved. If you increase the power but not the speaker size, you're just wasting a lot of energy that's not used for moving more volume of air.

[@alainnurpetelian3582]

Higher RMS need bigger coil, using neodymium it's the best way for higher RMS output with a minimum coil size specially in low frequency range

[@s33saudios]

@@alainnurpetelian3582 thats right!

[@jeff033]

mr alan the reason why its so lighter than ex 2 becoz the magnets of ex 3 is smaller compare to x3 idk why jbl make the magnets too small?

[@alanrossreviews]

apparently they may now be neodymium magnets which are high quality but lighter than ferrite magnets

[@jann8490]

Awesome review, Made my evning. Think I gonna keep my Xtreme2 and buy boombox2 if it just can get a little cheaper.

[@alanrossreviews]

Certainly bigger difference than going for the xtreme 3 👍

[@barcacm7274]

Jan N I recommend the JBL partybox 100, it's much better, it sounds much better than boombox 2

[@eduardohinojosa9160]

I got the GT version How can I find out what the difference is between the different versions of the JBL xtreme?

[@alanrossreviews]

Cant help im afraid, have to have a google.

[@eduardohinojosa9160]

I can’t find anything on google about it but that’s okay. Thanks

[@ghostboy2037]

Please compare ND and GG JBL xtreme 3

[@-MarkWinston-]

That spike at 12k makes it sound so much airier and spacious, as if like it has a totally different soundstage. And now that the bass digs deeper against a more neutral frequency range, it brings a whole new dimension to songs. Ill be sticking to my W-King D3 Pro though...

[@alanrossreviews]

yeah a much nice listen now at low volumes too. sounds like your sorted though, awesome 😜

[@rabitec.]

Can anyone tell me if it is possible to connect a BT 5.0 phone with the xtreme 3 (which has BT 5.1)? I haven't found a clear answer to that yet.

[@alanrossreviews]

Yes bluetooth is backwards compatible

[@rabitec.]

@@alanrossreviews Thanks for the quick response!

[@johanstahle8064]

I got the xtreme 2 and it's amazing. Best sound out of the three of them

[@alanrossreviews]

hum, well long as you are happy thats all that counts.

[@johanstahle8064]

Also a huge difference in price. Got my xtreme 2 a few months ago for 170 dollars, and the xtreme 3 is 330 dollars in Sweden where I live

[@alanrossreviews]

yup 2 x2's for the price of one x3 is weird pricing.

[@grandtheftgameryt]

I agree. The x3 is too chirpy to me. I went to the store, they had the x3 and x2. I loved the x2. The x3 didn’t sound bad but it wasn’t as good. I defiantly don’t have clogged ears and have very good above average hearing.

[@paulbutler3225]

Great very good sound test .... I have the xtreme 1 will get a xtreme 3 in the camouflage

[@alanrossreviews]

then how will you find it? 😝😱

[@jonas-gk7ok]

i have a extreme 1 my sef i like it so mutch only the connect suck and bluethooth does not go far but oval love it

JBL Xtreme 1 is leader. Today and always.

[@bibhabbag1]

Wait. Do the different versions of the speakers have any difference?

[@alanrossreviews]

yup! different materials, different sound

[@bibhabbag1]

@@alanrossreviews really? Like the xtreme 3 with serial number starting with gg will sound different to an xtreme 3 with another series serial number? 😨Isnt that cheating then?

[@alanrossreviews]

wont know till you try them but yes, this is a thing with jbl.

[@daangerrits9672]

I am in doubt. 2x the Xtreme2 or 1x Xtreme3? And why would you say?

[@alanrossreviews]

hum, thats a good one, you will get more clarity with the x3 but bigger boom with 2x xtreme 2s

[@fr00x12]

I think that xtreme 2 sounds still the best for me, xtreme 3 sounds weird without real lower mids and also with this one note bass peak, also highs are really metalic and weird sounding, xtreme 2 sounds more refined. I also like design from xtreme 2 more

[@pastel7324]

When does the 3 come out? Its already November.

[@alanrossreviews]

its out but not in UK it seems.

[@thatguy6513]

@@alanrossreviews not out in the U.S. either, my charge 3 died a few months back and i have been eagerly awaiting the Xtreme3, but if they don't release soon i may just fold and get the Xtreme2

[@sandrocruzcruz8214]

Nice!, Compare Xtreme 3 vs Sony xb43 pls,

[@alanrossreviews]

All to come at some point 😝

[@shaymcquaid]

First off, Great content Sir! I have a pair of xtreme's and a pair of xtreme 3's. The 3's sound no better to my ear at typical listening levels than the xtreme's. Maybe worse. 3's are a slick package,though. My only complaint is the stereo pairing. It sucks. I have an open case with JBL to replace the pair, but, I don't have high hopes.

[@alanrossreviews]

party mode or stereo? stereo has sucked ever since the app was a requirement!

[@shaymcquaid]

@@alanrossreviews Stereo. Truth is the 1's don't connect well either , and I have was less $ is that pair. cheers

Is there a better cheaper alternative to any of these?
