The main difference it has from JBL Boombox is that the JBL Boombox 2 has a built-in power bank that lets you charge your devices without taking a break from the tunes. So like you may have just heard, sound signature wise, the Boombox 3 does sound a little brighter than the both the Boombox 2 and original Boombox.

Bluetooth also doesn’t travel well when submerged, so best to keep its water exposure to solid ground.The Boombox 3 produces a noticeably deeper bass than its predecessor and offers a more balanced sound profile overall. That said, if you're looking for a similarly-sized speaker with a graphic EQ and additional presets, check out the Sony SRS-RA5000 instead. It also has a longer-lasting battery life of almost 30 hours from a single charge, and it's better built.

So this speaker sounds a little louder than the Boombox 2 when they are both playing at 80% volume… but its bass is just as strong as the Boombox 2. While the Boombox 2 is a Bluetooth speaker, it doesn’t support the two best codecs using it: aptX and AAC. However, the Sony is a large party speaker with multiple party features like customizable RGB lights and a microphone input. From backyard barbecues to weekend road trips, JBL Boombox 2 brings it with monstrous bass, bold design and an incredible 24 hours of play time.The company thinks its tuning and audio engineering makes it sound great in both environments, negating the need to toggle between them. It can also get louder and can play stereo content without downmixing it to mono, which is more immersive.

IPX7 waterproof and portable, the powerful Boombox 2 speaker pumps out massive sound all day and all night. theres no longer an external power brick that you have to keep track of with either the Boombox 2 and original boombox.

JBL’s 24-hour estimate is only accurate if you stick to default volume, but even at 60%, we hit 20 hours easily. It also offers a longer-lasting battery life, though this can depend on your usage, and your experience may vary. And personally, I do feel that this makes life a little easier cause its easier to replace this cable if anything happens to it… or if you go to a friend’s house and you need to charge your speaker, chances are… they will might have one of these cables.It’s gone now, and so is any connection with the Connect+ app, putting the Boombox 2 into a different ecosystem of connectivity.
