JBL Xtreme 3
JBL PartyBox Encore Essential
The JBL Xtreme 3 and the JBL PartyBox Encore Essential are speakers designed for different purposes. The Xtreme 3 is designed with portability in mind, and its rugged construction and IP67 rating against water and dust means that it can survive the elements. It also has a wider soundstage with better directivity and a longer continuous battery life. However, the PartyBox Encore Essential is the better speaker for playing music, thanks to its ability to better reproduce low-bass and its more balanced treble range. It can also get quite a bit louder, though there are more compression artifacts present at max volume than with the Xtreme 3.
