Information technology wouldn't be CES 2022 without plenty of new Bluetooth speakers, and JBL's most exciting entry is the Boombox three: an IP67-rated fauna offering large sounds and a day'southward worth of battery life.

As the proper noun suggests, this isn't the beginning entry in the series, and JBL has built on its predecessors with a new three-way speaker organization made up of two tweeters, two mid-range drivers and a "powerful racetrack-shaped subwoofer." The company claims that, as a result of these changes, the new speaker will offer deeper bass and "intense clarity" that'due south perfect for large outdoor parties.

The design, while familiar, has also been tweaked. The handle is metal with an "eye-communicable" orange silicon grip for comfort, and it comes in two colors: an understated blackness shade or a more conspicuous "squad colors" design (pictured higher up).

Like its predecessor, it'll become 24 hours on a unmarried charge, and features a built-in power bank for charging devices without a break in the music. Two phones or tablets tin can connect to the speaker at a time, and it can likewise be paired with other JBL PartyBoost-compatible speakers for more volume or stereo sound.

While we didn't test the JBL Boombox 2, our sis site TechRadar did, praising its loud, baloney-gratuitous sound in a 4-star review. "Information technology'southward fine indoors, but actually shines when playing music for a modest crowd outdoors," the review concludes.

In fact, grumbles about missing Bluetooth codecs aside, the biggest downside our colleagues could notice was its high MSRP — which is unfortunate, every bit it looks like JBL has raised the price of the Boombox 3 by $l to a hefty $499. We'll have to see if it justifies the cost and makes it to our listing of the best Bluetooth speakers when information technology's released in "select retailers" this summertime.
