The JBL Xtreme 3 is a small and tough Bluetooth speaker that can be used outside. Since it doesn't let water or dust in, you can use it anywhere, like in the shower, at the pool, or at a campground. Because it has a big sound output and a long battery life, the Xtreme 3 is a great choice for people who care a lot about sound quality and reliability.

Our Verdict

The JBL Xtreme 3 is the only Bluetooth speaker you need if you want to use it outdoors. It can stand up to the weather without losing its quality or ability to make sound. The Xtreme 3 is not the cheapest speaker on the market, but it is well worth the price thanks to its high-quality build, long battery life, and great sound.
