is a musical beast. It's compact in size, but is massive in weight and price. The sound is exceptionally clear, powerful, and intense. Bluetooth wireless audio is robust and accurate, with an enormous line of sight playback range, well over seventy feet in distance.

Yeah the headline is a little exaggerated but I use it all day everyday. It is loud. It is rugged. It is waterproof (or beerproof if you prefer). I am a college student and I like my nightlife as much as I like my studies and I purchased this speaker because I was tired and having parties and having...

The influence of the boombox on music is indisputable. These portable sound systems gave rise to sub-cultures (think breakdancing and hip hop) in the '80s and '90s. Fast-forward to today, and JBL has taken its penchant for splash-proof and portable Bluetooth audio into a bygone era with its...

Really loud and balanced sound; Water-resistant + splash-proof; 24-hour battery life

It's pricey; No audio cables included; Buzzing sound at low battery

The speaker feels extremely rugged, sturdy and well-made, with good quality materials. Indoors rocks, outdoors it feels like something is missing, although still pretty loud and more than enough (unless you plan to host a party with 50+ people).

The term ‘boombox' has had an intrinsic effect on the rise of hip-hop music. These portable audio systems were predominant in the ‘80s and ‘90s where people would tote them on their shoulder while blasting out their favourite tunes.

At Rs 27,999, JBL BoomBox is an interesting portable Bluetooth speaker and yes, it even comes with a 20,000mAh rechargeable battery.

JBL Boombox: A thunderous outdoor Bluetooth speaker with stupendous bass

Thunderous bass; IPX7 waterproofing; Charges devices via USB

Expensive; Average sound quality at this price; Heavy

Had the JBL Charge 2 three years ago and still loved it so when this came out I waited. It's massive, powerful and heavy. Love it, powerful thumping sound. If you want it I'd wait when it gets around ￡200 as ￡300 seems a little steep.

It's expensive. Full price it is a lot of money to spend on a bluetooth speaker. I happened to be lucky and bought it on sale. But, if you purchase the speaker you understand right away why it's worth every penny. Long battery life, amazing sound, booming bass.
