Overview
The JBL Horizon 3 combines a stereo speaker, clock radio and bedside alarm in one unit. It suits buyers who want to stream music during the day, listen to radio, and use light and sound as part of their bedtime and morning routines.
Its two full-range drivers deliver 10W RMS combined output. You can switch between Bluetooth streaming and DAB/DAB+/FM radio, while the JBL One app provides additional control over lighting, radio and nature sounds.
The Horizon 3 runs from a wall socket. Its backup battery is not a rechargeable battery for portable music playback.
Key Highlights
Stereo Sound, Bluetooth and Radio
The Horizon 3 uses two 1.5-inch drivers for stereo playback. Bluetooth 5.3 lets you stream from a compatible device, while the built-in tuner offers DAB, DAB+ and FM radio.
Why it matters: You can use one bedside speaker for playlists and radio without relying on your phone for every listening session. Radio reception and available stations depend on your location.
Sunrise Alarm and Sleep Mode
The sunrise-effect alarm gradually adds warm light as you wake. At night, sleep mode can play a radio station or nature sounds such as rain, forest ambience or ocean waves.
Why it matters: The Horizon 3 offers more ways to wake up and wind down than a standard clock radio.
Bedside Controls and Phone Charging
A large clock display, rotary knob and soft-touch buttons provide direct control. You can adjust the display and ambient-light brightness, and the USB-C port can charge a phone or other compatible device.
Why it matters: Time, audio, lighting and phone charging are accessible from the bedside without needing separate devices.

Common Questions
Is the JBL Horizon 3 a portable speaker?
No. It requires AC mains power for normal operation. The listed CR2032 battery is for backup, not cordless audio playback.
Can it charge a phone?
Yes. Its USB-C charging output supplies up to 5V/3A to a compatible device. The Horizon 3 itself is powered by its mains cord.
Does it need a phone to play music?
A phone or other Bluetooth source is needed for Bluetooth streaming. The built-in radio can play available stations without streaming from a phone.
Does it support both digital and FM radio?
Yes. The Singapore product model lists DAB, DAB+ and FM tuning. Reception depends on local broadcasts and signal conditions.
Can I change the bedside lighting?
Yes. The ambient light’s brightness and colour temperature can be adjusted through the JBL One app.
Why Buy JBL Horizon 3?
The JBL Horizon 3 is most compelling as an all-in-one bedside device. It brings stereo audio, radio, a readable clock, a sunrise alarm, sleep sounds and phone charging into a compact unit. If those bedside features matter more to you than battery-powered portability, it is a practical alternative to buying a separate speaker and alarm clock.
