JBL is not a blank slate in the audio world. In the 1980s, Lucasfilm asked the American company to develop the first THX sound system for cinema. Today, JBL is best known in the consumer sector for its excellent Bluetooth speakers.
The JBL Extreme3 is one of the most popular speakers in the JBL range because it offers the perfect balance between audio quality and price, size and portability. You can get it on Amazon now 40 percent cheaper.
You currently pay 199 euros in the Amazon offer and save 130 euros on the recommended retail price.
The JBL Xtreme 3 is that good
The JBL Xtreme lives up to its name and is extremely flexible. Whether within your own four walls, on holiday at the beach or at a pool party – it looks good everywhere. Thanks to the IP67 certification, it is waterproof and dustproof. He doesn’t even mind a quick dip in the pool, even though we still wouldn’t recommend it.
In terms of sound, the JBL box is among the top. Clear mids, detailed highs and powerful bass, that is the conclusion of the colleagues at Hifi.de. This is achieved by four audio drivers and two passive radiators on the side. With 50W you get a lot of power and you can set the speaker to over 90 decibels. However, at the highest volume the sound image is no longer so differentiated.
But it’s not just the audio performance that’s impressive. The battery lasts up to 15 hours and also makes the box suitable for longer parties. You can even use it as a power bank and charge your mobile phones or tablets via USB.
Teufel Rockster Cross: The rival is also offered
The Rockster Cross is also a robust Bluetooth speaker and is equipped with two tweeters, two passive drivers and a subwoofer. The battery even lasts 16 hours, surpassing the JBL Xtreme 3. The Teufel Rockster Cross was also the test winner at Stiftung Warentest in 2020.
In the Teufel Winter Sale you currently save 50 euros and only pay 299 euros for the powerful Teufel box. With a maximum of 98 dB, it is even louder than its JBL competitor and is also robust and waterproof. Particularly cool: both Bluetooth speakers have one Party modewhere you can connect multiple speakers of the same model and get an even bigger sound.
