Great sound, capabilities and quality compared to its other predecessors. Keep in mind yes it is a heavier speaker which many would not like as it doesn't really seem as portable as one would want . That said , it is a boombox and has that type of feel so that is a win . This specific version has the Bluetooth and party mode and more cable inputs then the newer models which still makes this a favorite. Use of this speaker is very cut and dry so even the less tech savvy can use it . Price point is still high but Walmart's price is much more competitive than those others out there which is why Walmart is a choice when purchasing for many... the day Walmart starts overpricing it's items is the day that they will fail like those other big box stores back in the day.

This speaker is worth every penny. I have never really been into speakers or sound systems… but this JBL boom box changed my opinion. It makes most other speakers and radios sounds tiny and far away in comparison. If you love great sound or you’re ready to fall in love with great sound, do yourself a favor and buy this.

It's soooo awesome. Heavy tho. But man it has plenty of power to annoy my neighbors! not that I would... :-)

Pricing was high but it sounds great at any volume! Booming bass and great highs! Highly recommend boombox ever! JBL rocks thank you Walmart

this is an excellent speaker. great bass, totally clear sound and it's extremely loud. well worth the money. best speaker I've ever had.

I returned the item, and I am waiting for a refund. I like dealing with Walmart, but I do not like chancing some of the third-party companies they work with.

I wanted these for some time now and saw some really good prices on Walmart website. this is actually the second one I ordered please don't be fooled by the 199 price you see it's a cheap Chinese knockoff. had to return it and I have no idea when I'll actually be refunded. this product however is a JBL original and is worth every penny that it costs. The sound is absolutely amazing I've had the app on my phone with a smaller JBL speaker for some time now and was looking to upgrade to this Yes it's about $350 and yes it's worth every penny of that Great sound plenty of volume and still small enough to take with you. been buying JBL products for years can't say enough good things.

I thought I had researched every question I had. Well I found that I missed one. Very important, so hopefully this helps someone in the future. The ability to pair speakers is based on a categorical requirement. This boombox 3 is not in the category of the party boxes. So I just ate my bad decision and will keep the purchase because I do like the sound and size. I did, however, purchase it intending to be able to pair it with the PartyBox. Other than that it is marvelous.

This boombox keeps the party going. The sound the bass the clarity! This speaker is all that!

Got here within two days has excellent base for the size of the unit. Sounds like a subwoofer.
