SeekerJBL Boombox 3
The JBL Boombox 3 is good for music. It has a fairly balanced sound profile suitable for listening to a wide variety of audio content. Its balanced mid-range ensures vocals and lead instruments sound clean and present in the mix, though higher-pitched voices and sibilants like S and T sound a bit harsh at times. There's also a bit of warmth in the bass range that adds extra boom to the mix. You can customize its sound profile to your liking thanks to the graphic EQ featured in its companion app. It also gets pretty loud with little compression at max volume, so you can blast your favorite music without affecting your audio quality.

The JBL Boombox 3 is a good speaker for parties at home, by the pool, or on the beach. It has a rating of IP67, which means it is durable and can be used anywhere. It also sounds great. Even so, it’s pretty expensive for what you get.
