*CORRECTION* The Text that say "No Mic For Calls" on the Xtreme 2 @5:26 was meant to say "Mic For Calls" it's something I forgot to mention verbally but wanted to point it out at least with Text but failed at that to 🤣. Anyway I feel like jbl should have kept the Mic on this speaker!
They really should have!
Dont worry, we still love you hahaha
@@mierdiegeas 🥰
This mic was crap, i really do not miss it
I like the sound and design beter of the jol Xtreem 3 but i liked the mic for calls tho😁😕
I have fallen with my xtreme 2 numerous times while drunk so I’m happy about the bumpers
Did sounds like you don't need the bumpers if it happened twice 😁
Also I think getting drunk is the problem 😂
@@DLXWillington 😅🤣😂🥃😖
Mine got hit by a car at 55mph and still works
@@DLXWillington no, bro)) it`s easy
@@masterl4195 how?
You are still my best speaker youtuber DLX
Is the jbl xtreme 3 more louder than the xtreme 2
Only by a tiny bit
Xtreme 3 has more low-bass, while the 2 has more upper-bass. They both sound really clean.
At max volume the 3 is louder but pushes a bit too much high frequencies. Xtreme 3 is a great improvement, but IMO the 2 is definitely a better deal, (at least here in Italy where it recently went on sale for 129€, compared to 299€ of the 3) nice video as always man, keep up the good work!
🙏
wow that's cheap mate is that brand new?xtreme 2 imean,,. here in spain its 180 eur brand new second hand i saw 150eur,,im jealous😅
@Unai_79 wow! en madrid? ahora tiene oferta por 185€ en media markt.
I got a xtreme2 last month for 150 usd
Not only that tho the xtreme 3 sounds more foward and less compressed
I dont know why, but when i watch your videos i feel very comfortable, you are an amazing person and continue doing this videos please, i love them!
I just have my XTREME 2 yesterday and I got it on Sale at $167 from our local store Philippines (SM San Jose) and I'm very happy that I got it! My 1st JBL speaker!! And I freaking loved it!
kamusta naman?
Thanks for the battle and I'm happy with my xtreme 2
thank you for this sound battle, i've been waiting for this a long time and it was worth it, i'll buy xtreme 2
This is exactly what I have been waiting for
Hey DLX willington. I watched Gymcadaddy JBL extreme 3 video. The extreme3 has slightly louder but it the same bass. And you are correct the JBL extreme 3 it has more highs than the extreme 2 make it a littlebit brighter and louder than the extreme 2. That's why the JBL extreme 3 and the boombox 2 play in maximum volumes indoors then the highs are wayyy too much sharp and it can get earpiercing at times.
The difference is very minimal I can almost say you're buying the same speaker twice but for a different look and a new generation
Next: JBL boombox 1 vs Xtreme 3
Yeah! It would be ridiculous xD
The Xtreme 2 with lfm enabled goes louder than the bb1 but again lfm is bad for your speakers ig.
I tested that irl
Considering the price of the Xtreme 3 and its over-all improvements, I'll be sticking with my Xtreme 2 for a bit longer.
The PB 100 would be a better choice if you're willing to spend $349.95.
✌️
Yeah start comparing partyboxes to portable speakers... :/
I like the extreme 2 sound better. Thanks for the comparison. Definitely makes my decision easier and luckily I’ll be saving some $$.
Thanx for the review. I owned a Extreme 2 for some months, and found yesterday a new feature. I was disapointed on the amount of volume it gave me, and yesterday i first time put the volume down from the speaker, not of my phone. And volume up again from the speaker , and all hell brake lose. Now its loud as hell. I dont understand how its possible, that before the volume was about 50% of what is now, and now its better than ok. Before the volume didnt go up, what ever i tried. Sorry for my bad english, i am from Finland and dont speak Englis so mutch.
What a story! Nice, enjoy your X2 :)
Also if you plug it in to the wall to charge it gets a lot louder
@@P51DFreak25 No just a very little. Wanna make it go alot louder? Turn it on LFM then use an EQ it will be louder than the partybox on the go no joke
@@Tech-187 that's a stupid claim, lmfao the partybox 100 has MUCH more power than the Xtreme 2.
@@xplanetarymusic It literally ain't portable in the slightest
Make a sound battle with the xtreme 1 because I have that one and I wanna see if it's worth buying the 3
Got ya 👍
Yeah, it's really intresting!!!
x3 has a much better sound.
Whatxh xtreme 1 vs 2 is about the same
Xtreme 1 has better bass then 3
60% - JBL Xtreme 2
100% - JBL Xtreme 3
60% Sony XB43 > JBL Xtreme 2/3
100% Sony XB43 < JBL Xtreme 3
As a fan of this speaker, and also a skateboarder, even if you have your Extreme strapped on tight/high up, there's absolutely no guarantee that your speaker is not going to make contact with the crown especially on the ends where those bumpers are placed that you're not a big fan of.
Skateboarders/mtn bikers will appreciate the extra protection.
Good for you guys 👍
But I'm sure the Xtreme 2 can survive whatever the Xtreme 3 can, it's not like Xtreme 2's passive radiators are totally exposed
Wait can you wear it like a backpack
The bumpers don't help at all trust me
Hi Dlx willington, I love watching your videos because they’re funny and helpful. I prefer your reviews and sound battles over other youtubers because you keep it simple and don’t overreact to stuff. Keep it up 👍
I'm still rocking the Xtreme 1 I just mess about with my EQ on my phone to get the best sound from the speaker the Xtreme 2 is the better choice between the Xtreme 2 & 3...the Xtreme 3 isn't worth the money keep up the good work my man
finally! i waited 2 weeks for this vid lmao
Finally here, hope it was worth the wait 🤞
@@DLXWillington yea man Totally worth your vids are always full of information , it is actually very helpfull. i appreciate the work! (Sorry for my english i am from belgium so yea...)
Xtreme2 takes it on the sound
I can hear a little better instrument separation in the Xtreme 3 and it sounds clearer at max volume, but everything else is mostly the same
X2 have more bass
60%: Identical
100%: Xtreme 3
3% Better than the Xtreme 2
50% overpriced
@@graysonplummer8238 and the other 47% 🤔
Gray area 🤷🏾♂️
Worse than the 2. Overpriced junk
My main pros:
xtreme 3: slightly better detail in the upper mids
xtreme 2: slightly better global tonal balance
My main cons:
xtreme 3: slightly too much brightness in the treble range, wich "colours" the tonal balance a bit
xtreme 2: bass aren't slightly as rich as they should
...My preferred in global sound wise, the xtreme 2. But in fact, for my son (16 years old anniversary) I've bought the xtreme 3. A louder max level is a point when in outdoors with friends. In other aspects, I bought JBL because in bluetooth speakers is maybe nearer to a real musical quality level than almost the whole universe of rival brands in this business, ...usually generalist, focused on selling by means of pure marketing, lying or being unexact in specs announced.
I have already compared several times and if the Xtreme 3 has more treble at the end and the Xtreme 2 has deeper and better bass
@@deelwex2246xtreme 3 has more, deeper bass, xtreme 2 is more balanced overall but quieter
Best speaker reviewer currently on UA-cam!
9 months ago since this video was uploaded and yet, the extreme 3’s price is still sky rocket high lol
Where's the "hold on girl now wait just a minute" song???
Ive got somethin to say, u should hear it ouggh
Try searching " Don't hate me by jingle punks " here on youtube
@@DLXWillington make a video outdor extrem 2 vs extrem 3
Thank you brother....i was trying to figure out which one i should buy
Am I the only one who thought about a design with a central big woofer (similar to the charge 4, but bigger) and 2 stereo twetters?
That would be the JBL go and play but it's a little bigger
I love this channel for a long time and i subbed now!
Am I the only still rocking with the Xtreme 1 and refuse to shell out another $300 bucks in the last days of 2020 ?
I still have my Xtreme 1 and it sounds pretty good for its age but the battery is $hit☹️
@@DLXWillington replace the battery brother there's so many batteries for the xtreme 1 for as low as 20$ and it's only 30 minutes of work😀
@stratgibson After hearing both. X2 sounds more balanced. X1 is bass boosted to hell and back no offense. X3? I’m hearing tons of complaints about the hissing treble. I’ll stick with my X2.
I can't wait for the Jbl xtreme 4 with the Bluetooth strap!!!
🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣
😂😂🤣🤣🐒🐒🐒
Xtreme 2 looks better than 3. Xtreme 3 is a bit ugly.
hahahah can't stop laughing with you man 🤣 😂 😆
🤣

Yeah I thank the Xtreme 2 at higher volume levels gives a less piercing fatiguing sound signature at higher volume level then the Xtreme 3. And then I notice the Xtreme 2 has slightly more presence in the lower mid Range Region listening to this video with my sennheiser momentum 3.
I can not tell an noticable difference. I will keep my extreme 2. Good video.
Great comparison! Thank You
Great Review on both Speakers, unfortunately I have yet to Max out the use of my Extreme 2. Not ready to replace.
The Xtreme 3 hasn't really improved so don't upgrade. It's just the equalizer being different pushing the highs up
I just bought the JBL Xtreme 3. Partyboost is faulty. I replaced the strap with paracord so I wouldn't put wear and tear on wear the strap mounts.
Only thing that scares me are those strips on the bottom of the 3 they all came off on my clip 4
I got 2 charge 5’s to achieve stereo, but I’m thinking to get the xtreme 3 and return my 2 charge 5’s. Are you able to make a video that shows if it’s worth it to get 2 charge 5’s instead of a xtreme 3? Would be a neat vs video imo.
I was thinking about the same thing. But I also want sound quality (so 3.5mm jack is required) and Xtreme 3 is the only way to get that
@@led_man Or the Xtreme 2/Xtreme 1
Well since most major UA-camrs got there videos done on the Xtreme 3 its time for me to start im just waiting on a good deal to buy one
I like your channel as well.. blessings
Honestly, the bumbers are gonna be pretty useless. Maybe if you go trough a tight area like a door or something They might work. But the placement of them is kinda bad. If i bump it against the door it will probably still leave a dent or scratch on the speaker. I've done it with my xtreme 2 a bunch of times but no damage. (Xtreme2 4 life). As for the desigh, it will probably grow on me over time but i still think it's ugly.
Also i've heard both of these irl. Imo, the bass is not a big improvement. Almost no difference. Overall sound quality is pretty much the same but i think xtreme 2 does it a little bit better. But i'm sure they will balance it out with a future firmware update on the xtreme 3
17:21 I like the USB C charging method just for that reason alone I would go for the extreme 3 but I will wait until the future for a sale.
Me and my friend did a test and well the xtreme 2 was louder, it was a Gunmetal Special Edition Xtreme 2, and a Black Regular Xtreme 3, the Xtreme 2 was noticeably louder and bassier, a bit blurry in higher frequencies.
Yeah no sh it. The gun metal version is basically the Xtreme 2 but capped at version 2.6.0 there's no other version available when buying gun metal meaning it will always be updated by default unlike the other xtreme 2's (PL's stock firmware 1.9.0/1.6.0)(GG's stock firmware 2.4.0)(GUN METAL firmware = 2.6.0 CANNOT CHANGE)
As you can tell 2.6.0 has the best sound and it's probably better than the Xtreme 3 entirely
Listen to the Xtreme 2!
Bro they sound the same. Yea I’m keeping my xtreme 2
I'm keeping my extreme 1
Yeah i wanted to buy my first xtreme like xtreme 3 but i buyed xtreme 2 then iam glad i buyed xtreme 2 😉
I like your comparing sound test and your point of views BR 👏👏🤝last time when I bought JBL charger 2, It helped to choose instead of charge 3 which was mono I think now I am looking for xtreme 2 vs xtream 3 , in my opinion between two of these ,the best choice xtreme 2 for the price we pay Also the logo JBL on the current extreme 3 is so bulky and their design is not impressive it gives weird look, Also the previous logo , design are unique and beautiful too Can you tell me all these xtreme 2 and xtreme 3are stereo Or just mono 🇨🇦
I noticed the xtreme was hitting the slightest bit deeper it sound more rich and heavy I enjoy watching your Harman Kardon videos because the onyx studio 5-6 sound very deep rich and heavy
yup i have the onyx 5 it has a FAT sound, after listening to it, all will sound a toy😂
Para mis oídos suenan igual, pero vamos, el diseño de la Xtreme 3 es hermoso!!
!!!Sony srs-xb43 vs JBL Xtreme 3!!!
I must hear it
Xtreme 3 is a mile better compared to XB43 .
I love your videos had me lauphing!
I really like the Xtreem 3 so much😄
I had boombox for a half year but now i have over year x2 and its very good. Very important is how you set the eq.
Both are amazing, but there is not much difference the Xtreme 3 sounds a little clearer and a little deeper bass, than the Xtreme 2, honestly the Xtreme 2 is more worth it for the price
Thanks for the video!
Do you know if the aux port on the Xtreme 3 will let connect other devices? I saw one video that said the Xtreme 2 aux port was only for updates, not for connecting devices. :( I liked the joke btw! Great review.
The AUX port has always been for plugging in a wired output. It sounds like youre talking about the service port, which might be the USB-C charging port.
16:43 also the method of Changing, Xtreme 2 proprietary, Xtreme 3 USB-C
Whats cool about the xtreme 2 is that its getting more power when charging
Do you think I can charge xtreme 3 with a powerebank like Anker? This is main thing to me, i want to buy xt3 but only if i can charge it outside to ! 😬
I think its not really worth it upgrading to xtreme 3. Beside those side bumpers that dont look really good but are somehow efficient, the sound is just a very little better like the bass, but still not worth the extra money
I love the old logo
1:22 so funny hahahaah | (• ◡•)|
So all we’re paying for basically is usb-c charging
there's a feeling that xtreme 2 has more bass on low volumes, but actualy it's an inllusion caused by the highs. Definitely a great improvement on the highs. it was a thing that miss on the xtreme 2: more bright. But, audio is subjective. There's always people that prefere more warmer sound rather than brither ones. Besides, probably after a 200hrs or so playing music on the xtreme 3, the sound probably balance itself to a little more warmer signature, but with more bright, compared to xtreme 2.
if is worth the price? i don't really know... but i really like the upgrade
What are you even talking about. It's not an illusion the Xtreme 2 just HAS more bass on lower volumes
Actually, this argument could go on forever. Depending on your definition of “more bass,” it could go either way, because the Xtreme 2 hits louder on the upper bass range. The xtreme 3 gets down to deeper notes, though it is quieter on the upper bass range! It is close though, and probably not worth an upgrade.
Just bought mine Xtreme 2 for $200. Saved $150
Well, JBL sold 1 Million charge 4, and that s one million speakers who can t be connected to the xtrem 3. There is no reason bluetooth speakers from the same brand won t work together... expept hungry marketing...
currently have a mega boom 3, in your honest opinion is it worth it to spend the extra $100-$150 for the xtreme 3? Because i thought the 2 sounded better at times as well.
Hi ! My friend, i think so jbl xtreme 3 it’s better but it’s expensive
nice video!
Thank you
Xtreme 3 for the usb c charging alone which is really good for non-stop party using a powerbank. 💪
I wish someone test it, as i am not really good with electric solutions etc 😅 and i am wonder if Anker 20000 mAh will charge this speaker fast enough to use it and charging at same time? 🤔
@@jolka88w as long as your powerbank support 40-45 watts charging at 3 -4 amperes via usb c to c..
@@halfcrazyluv1 wow thank you for great and clear answer! 👌
If my calculations are right xtreme 3 have more cleaner sound but i think little bit not good bass like xtreme 2 have :)
what mic are you using and what are you using to record the very nice audio
The bumpers would be useful in my situation cuz once I has my Xtreme 2 strapped on and then it accidentally bumped a wall and now it has a huge scar on it lol
The bumpers don't help because they're not "bumpers". You gotta touch the "bumpers" with your hands irl and you will see what I mean
@@Tech-187 will those rundown like headphones foam?
@@ChrisTian-sd5yq dunno they're really hard as far as I know. When you slam the thing against a wall you'll still hear a loud thud so I assume it's not harmless
@@Tech-187 I'm referring to the bumpers of Xtreme 3, are those foam?
@@ChrisTian-sd5yq No idea
Hello.. Nice videos.. if I connect it via cable to a mixer... the sound takes more than a second to start. That is, after silence, it has a pause before resounding. Has it ever happened to you?
Jbl need to tone down that ear piercing highs..
I find it irrelevant to what the extreme should sound.
Otherwise in other perspective it is great.
Ok DLX willington this is not from this video I’m talking about the video of onyx 5 and onyx 6 when you did compare with the new studio 6 but I have a question about those two speakers wich one has more bass and wich one has more bass at maximum volume
The two speakers sound the same to me, but then again, UA-cam compression could've affected that.
IMO the price is ridiculous. .. better off with the jbl go 3 ... decent for 40$ ... rather just save and get a ps5 then that
Get a tribit maxsound plus rather than that piece of crap
The 3 sounds brighter and grainy in the vocals
In other words less bass
@@Tech-187 No. It's just as I said it. But less bass would be good because the 2 is too bass heavy
I think my extreme 2 is muffled because of sound snictuture since I got a jbl clip 4 I don't own the extreme 3 yet but small size of clip 4 has "JBL orginal pro sound " just like extreme 3 and charge 5 someday I will own the extreme 3 pretty soon.
It's not muffled or haven't you done a firmware update? Get the latest version then complain
hope they make batteries for this too, i have the xtreme 1 for 5 years now i replaced the battery 2x using cameron sino battery, there are also batteries for the xtreme 2,,its like having a forever bluetooth speaker when you can change battery imo😀 oh just take care of it, not wrecking or dropping it and submerging it, its an electronic device not a scuba equipment 😂
For me my extreme 2 takes the lead, the sound signature is just too good to hear especially with that base. No need for an upgrade
Weird fun fact: The Xtreme 2 has more bass than the Xtreme 3 even though the Xtreme 3 is rated 10W more. This was only tested on battery mode and not when they were both plugged in
@@Tech-187 wrong
@@AmicusAdastra I know, it's been a year
Actually those bumpers are good for when swinging it over your shoulder near a wall or stairs.
Please next review JBL EXTREME 3 vs sony XB12
rip those connect+.
I think possibly still better getting another flip 5, as i own one.
Just wondering, those who own a 2nd speaker, do you use the two speaker equally, or the 2nd speaker is strictly for pair up to party?
Edit: I listen to this with 1000xm3 with totally flatten eq. Im impressed to manage to hear some bass LOL.
Yes i always put them on each corner and pair them for better sound
Wooow this was my 5,000 like 👀🤩
Xtreme 2 sounds Better for me, more balanced sound, the 3 adds color to the top end
I choose Xtreme 2.
That USB c charging though... I’m coming from my JBL Xtreme 1 (purchased in 2017), and gunning for this one as an upgrade since my battery has now detonated badly. It can’t hold charge for way under an hour anymore.
Same mine, 3 years and then battery problem begun... i want xtreme only if it is possible to charge it via powerbank as even xtreme1 was brandnew it was playing only max 3 hours on full volume 😐 too short for all night on the beach 😆
Bass Sound at 100% on Xtreme 3 reminds more Xtreme 1. At Xtreme 2, doesn't sound so cool for hearing outside
That's does not make much sense since xtreme 2 was changed in design not so much inside and the jbl xtreme 3 was changed completely so that means extreme 1 and 2 should sound about the same and 3 should sound different
JbL xtreme 2 have a deep bass good balance sound but the xtreme 3 much Louder can damage our ear drum 🤔🤔🤔
Jbl is like toyota, new face and slight changes but always seems to stay reliable
You will hear a noticeable difference in sound quality at 100% volume instead of 60%
He does 100% ass well idiot
Question? what about the firmware update 2.6.0...this has made the Xtreme 2 sounds like it has less bass on high volumes. Can this be fixed ?
The Xtreme 2 has always sounded like that. At around 70% volume it reduces the bass to prevent distortion
Okay one question, would a TV sound bar and subwoofer work as high quality headphones
I can notice the xtreme 3 is going to lower frequencis and slightly better highs but iam happy when i buyed half month ago my xtreme 2 :)
They sound almost the same I guess. Xtreme 3 is just a refreshment with a fancy jbl logo and usb c charging
The reason I upgraded to the ×3 is to connect to charge 5 & boombox2
disappointing, I expected more ... maybe the difference can be noticed with a next update...
Jbl xtreme 3 is still xtreme 2. Its pricy for the name and design only.. not performance.. its very disappointing. I hope jbl do better job next time.
@@ikhmalmohd9539 You know they don't upgrade big for a reason right? People will get upset otherwise
Got 2 xtreme 2s over one xtreme 3 at best buy for 180 each is hard not to go for them being that i got 2 for the price of one
Which one is good for low volume listening
