JBL Xtreme 3 vs Klipsch The Three II

The JBL Xtreme 3 is a slightly better speaker than the Klipsch The Three II, though, they have different strengths. The JBL is battery-powered and better built. It has an IP67 rating for dust and water resistance, so you can easily take it outdoors when you're on the move. It has slightly better directivity, resulting in a more open-sounding soundstage. It can also be paired to up to two devices at once, which can come in handy when you need to switch between audio sources. However, the Klipsch can get significantly louder than the JBL, with slightly less compression present at max volume, resulting in cleaner audio at louder volume levels.
