Overall, its sound profile sounded noticeably fuller and more refined than the older JBL Boombox 2, and its slightly extended low-bass was also noticeable. Both the Bluetooth and wi-fi work flawlessly and the distance of the connection really surprised me. IP67 water resistance The Boombox 3 is water resistant to an extent it can handle submersion in water.

The JBL app does offer EQ controls to let you fiddle with this, but they are fairly rudimentary and weak. Pop off the rubber-sealed connection flap on the back and you’ll only find a power connector and USB, which lets you charge other devices. This results in a clunky switching process, as opposed to the smooth, fast switching multipoint usually brings with it. Its power and Bluetooth buttons are backlit, and its other controls are raised and differentiated enough that you won't accidentally press the wrong one in the dark. Its robust construction is both waterproof and dustproof, providing peace of mind even in challenging environments.That said, the HYPERBOOM is a bit smaller in size and can get louder than the Boombox 3 with less compression present at max volume, so audio quality sounds cleaner and clearer when you blast the speaker. It's well-built, has an IP67 rating for dust and water resistance, and floats in water, so it's a great option for the outdoors.

It also has a longer-lasting battery life of almost 30 hours from a single charge, and it's better built. Out-of-the-box, it has a balanced overall sound profile with a bit of extra warmth in the high-bass range, making it suitable for listening to a wide variety of music genres.
