If you want a booming portable speaker that will last for hours of playback and can handle the elements or a pool environment, the JBL Boombox is that speaker. And while your neighbors probably won’t be happy having the party continue from day and into the night, you can be sure that your friends and family will!
The JBL Boombox is incredibly easy to set up and pair with your device. And adding additional pairings is just as easy. In terms of sound, the bass is huge but without distortion even at high volume. You probably won’t need to max out the volume though because this speaker is thunderous. It is water-resistant (up to 30 minutes in less than 1 meter of water), but to play it safe, I wouldn’t recommend floating it around long. But it is definitely splash-proof and great for a pool or beach. You can charge 2 other smart devices from the on-board battery, and even pair other compatible JBL speakers with it. The only item I marked a bit down in the ratings is the price point which is a bit hefty. But you are paying for some powerful, quality, JBL speakers. The JBL Boombox speakers rock, literally and figuratively!
