Powerful sound inside and out

Easy to take with you
On the heavy side

The JBL Xtreme 4 is a sturdy speaker that produces powerful sound. I can easily take it with me because of the carrying strap. It is quite heavy at 2.1 kilograms, so I prefer not to wear it all day.

Sound The bass tones are strong, so I hear the beat and drums clearly. I think higher tones such as vocals sound a little less full. In the JBL Portable app I choose the Energetic Equalizer setting. Now I find the music in balance. I choose what I like to hear and also put together my own settings. Powerful sound comes from the speaker. If I set the volume to 1/3, it already sounds loud in my studio.

Ease of use The speaker is slightly larger and heavier than the JBL Xtreme 3. I can easily take the speaker with me with the included carrying strap. I find the 2.1 kilogram speaker a bit on the heavy side. That's why I prefer not to wear it for too long on a hot summer day. For example, if I have to cycle for half an hour and still walk to the beach. The speaker is stable due to the flat piece at the bottom. I therefore place it firmly on any surface.

JBL Portable app I personalize the sound in the JBL Portable app. I choose from JBL's various ready-made options or set my own preferences. This way I choose which tones I want to hear more strongly. I turn the low bass tones a little louder and the high tones softer, so that they sound more in the background. I keep the midrange at the default setting.

Design The design is sturdy. The bottom of the speaker is flat and has 2 extra supporting rubbers, so that it does not roll over. I think the carrying strap is sturdy and fits the speaker well. There is a beer opener in it, which I think is a handy and nice extra. I don't like the speckles on the sides as much.

Review is 9,3 out of 10.

Speaker as standalone is a very good speaker.

Good sound especially for the size
Connectivity and stability good
Pairing multiple JBL speakers is conditional

For a Bluetooth speaker, this one meets all the requirements. Regarding the sound, it is somewhere between the Boombox and the Charge. Battery life is very good. Regarding the pairing of speakers, JBL is a (too) commercial company. Pairing is software, but speakers cannot simply be paired with each other and/or put in stereo. JBL has connect, connect+, party boost, AURA CAST. All different methods that change slightly with a new generation. Read up in advance on which speaker can be paired with which speaker. A firmware does not solve the issues. This is without a doubt a shortcoming of JBL. It is not about not being able to, it is mainly about not wanting to.
