With better weather on the horizon, maybe you're turning your attention to investing in one of the best outdoor speakers. I'm certainly ready to enjoy some outdoor parties and BBQs.
If that's you, we would highly recommend the JBL Xtreme 4, which is not only our 'best large' pick but can now be snapped up for just $299.95 at Amazon.
The JBL Xtreme 4 is the winner of back-to-back What Hi-Fi? Awards, which should be a clear sign that we're quite the fan of this robust Bluetooth speaker.
The all-around credentials of JBL's Xtreme 4 makes it almost impossible not to recommend. And at this discounted price, it's hard to find better.
The Xtreme 4 is the Xtreme 3, but (how to put this?) more extreme… It's roughly the same design we have come to know and love from JBL, robust and rugged, but with some tweaks that are worth talking about.
Take the 24 hours of battery life (compared with the Xtreme 3's 15 hours) or the option to stretch that even further to 30 hours, thanks to the new Playtime Boost feature. Plus, the AI Sound Boost is another new feature of the Xtreme 4. This always-on technology is there to help the speaker maintain sound quality at loud volumes and prevent distortion.
As far as new features go, though, Auracast is the big one. It allows users to pair two Xtreme 4s together in stereo or to connect multiple compatible JBL speakers in a chain.
And it sounds great. In our review, our expert testers say: “For such a chunky speaker, it produces a fantastically refined sound. It produces a wonderfully clear and consistent sound across tracks: low frequencies are poised and punchy but don’t lack weight, [whereas] highs are crisp enough so they don’t feel rolled off.”
If you're looking to secure yourself an outstanding Bluetooth speaker from JBL, the Xtreme 4 is a great option – especially now its price has dropped to just $299.95 at Amazon.
