JBL Tuner 3 Black Portable Speaker

JBL Tuner 3 Black — Portable DAB/DAB+/FM Radio with Bluetooth

The JBL Tuner 3 Black is a portable DAB/DAB+/FM radio speaker that doubles as a Bluetooth streamer, delivering JBL Pro Sound in a compact, IP68-sealed body. Built for listeners who want real radio stations and wireless music in one rugged unit, it pulls in DAB+, FM, and any Bluetooth source with equal ease. The Tuner 3 is loud enough to fill a kitchen, campsite, or workshop, yet small enough to slip into a bag with its built-in carry loop. Crystal-clear audio and a big LCD display make station-hopping intuitive, while 15 hours of total battery life keep the music going through a full day away from a socket.

What makes this model unique

Unlike most portable radios that lean on a single full-range driver, this model pairs a 1.75" transducer with 7 W RMS output — JBL's most powerful radio yet. Auracast multi-speaker connection lets two Tuner 3 units form a stereo pair, or link multiple Auracast-enabled JBL speakers to spread sound across a larger space. The IP68 waterproof and dustproof rating means the unit survives pool splashes, beach sand, and sudden rain without skipping a beat.

Technical specifications — radio, audio, and battery

Connectivity, audio output, and battery life are the three numbers that matter most for a portable radio, and the Tuner 3 delivers on all three.

• Bluetooth 5.3 provides stable, low-latency pairing with phones and tablets.
• Frequency Range: 75 Hz - 20 kHz — full-range response that adds punch to bass-heavy radio tracks
• Output Power: 7 W RMS — enough volume to fill a small room
• Play Time: 15 hours (12 hours standard plus 3 hours with Playtime Boost)
• IP Coverage: IP68 — fully sealed against dust and continuous water immersion

Who should buy this instrument?

Radio lovers, kitchen-listening regulars, and outdoor hobbyists who want a single device that handles DAB+, FM, and Bluetooth without compromise will find this model ideal. Gardeners, campers, and beach-goers benefit from the IP68 sealing and 15-hour battery, while home users get a clutter-free replacement for a bulky hi-fi tuner.
