The Xtreme 3 doesn’t need to boost its bass as much as the previous two Xtreme speakers, as it naturally has a slightly deeper and more present bass end in its mix.Īs for more recent audiophile takes, PC Mag’s reviewer shares the view of many in summing up that Xtreme 3 isn’t “a sound signature for purists, but those seeking some powerful bass depth from a portable speaker will not be disappointed.” The takeaways from most reviewers are that the bass kicks out an impressive, satisfying thump and yet is not overbearing-there’s still an even mix and decent (if somewhat narrow) stereo soundstage from its left and right channels. Though the difference is small, to some the JBL Xtreme 2 thus seems a bit warmer than the Xtreme 3. The high end is more pronounced, which can add clarity, especially outside, but to some ears sound a bit piercing at the very top volumes when inside. JBL Xtreme 3 The JBL Xtreme 3 again makes small improvements in the ears of the first YouTube critics, gaining a slightly deeper, fuller, more rounded bass than the Xtreme 2, and again, going just a decibel or two louder. For those who want a large-but-still-portable, rough-and-tumble outdoorsy speaker with great emphasis and power on the bass end, this is good news. In each successive upgrade, JBL apparently took what was already going well for with its Xtreme speakers and made those areas even stronger, rather than changing course or trying something new.
