Is the JBL Xtreme 3 actually waterproof?

Yes. It carries an IP67 rating, so it is dust-tight and can survive being splashed or briefly submerged. JBL still advises closing the port cover before it gets wet.

How does it compare with the JBL Charge 5?

The Xtreme 3 is bigger and louder, with more bass and a longer body, while the Charge 5 is easier to carry. Both are IP67 and use PartyBoost, so the choice comes down to volume versus portability.

Can it charge my phone?

Yes. The USB port works as a power bank, so you can top up a phone from the speaker's battery. Doing so shortens the speaker's own playtime.

How long does the battery last and how long to charge?

JBL rates playtime at about 15 hours, depending on volume. A full recharge takes around four hours.

Can I connect it to other speakers?

Yes, through PartyBoost. You can pair it with other PartyBoost-enabled JBL speakers for louder, wider sound.

What comes in the box?

The speaker and a carrying strap with a built-in bottle opener. A charging cable is included in standard retail packaging.

What do buyers say about the JBL Xtreme 3 Waterproof Portable Bluetooth Speaker?
