The JBL Xtreme 4 took all that we loved about the Xtreme 3 and built on it to great effect, resulting in an Award-winning Bluetooth boombox that sounds masterful no matter what you throw at it. This is the lowest price for the Xtreme 4 we've seen thus far, meaning you'll be getting the best price possible on a very fresh, up-to-date unit.

The 2024 Award-winning JBL Xtreme 4 may look and feel similar to the outgoing third-gen unit, with the same driver set-up of having two 70mm woofers and twin 20mm tweeters sitting behind the grille and twin passive radiators housed at either end, but key upgrades have taken it to new heights.

Features-wise, the fourth-gen speaker now offers 24 hours of battery life, bettering the 15 hours of the third-gen model by quite some margin. A new Playtime Boost tool will give you 6 extra hours of life if you're careful, while AI-powered Sound Boost helps the speaker maintain its audio quality at low volumes. Auracast support is new, too, replacing the PartyBoost feature of the third-gen model and allowing you to connect multiple compatible JBL units simultaneously.

Sonically, the Xtreme 4 is a genuine showstopper. Rival speakers can often manage to convey weight, punch and power to their presentation, but what the fourth-gen Xtreme 4 does is showcase a cohesive, three-dimensional approach that never omits the finer details. As our review makes clear, "for such a chunky speaker it produces a fantastically refined sound", conveying a "wonderfully clear and consistent sound across tracks" that wows no matter what you feed it.

Whichever retailer you pick, you're getting a superb deal at the ideal time, especially if you're headed to uni or even back to school. Head over to Amazon to get saving and get one over on your Black Friday rivals.
