JBL Xtreme 3 Specs

Here, we list the complete JBL Xtreme 3 speaker specs and give a partial list of this speaker’s most helpful features.  First, these list its physical size, weight, waterproof level rating, battery recharge time, and playing time per charge.  We also give its frequency response, power output and power bank capabilities.  Indeed it’s plain from these details that the JBL Xtreme 3 sounds very good and does a great job at power banking besides.

Secondly, it plays plenty loud, with its fifty plus watts of total output power. Further, that hefty driving audio offers more bass than other same sized models.

Moreover, even when playing at top volume, the lithium ion battery can last up to fifteen hours per charge. Of course this depends on the sort of program you are playing. Louder recording with lots of bass will experience shorter play times before you’ll need to recharge the speaker.

But one of the most useful features, is that this unit works as a power bank as well.  E.g. You can charge your cell phone, tablet, or other mobile device right from this speaker’s 5 amp hour battery.  Thus, the specs by no means belie the quality JBL put into this top notch Bluetooth® power bank speaker.
