I have the Xtreme 3 and have been happy with it. I'd miss the Aux port because I have a record player connected though it. Auracast might be big in a few years, so no rush to get a speaker with this technology yet. Great, succinct review. Keep up the great work Danny!
I just update my JBL xtreme 4 to the latest firmware update too, how’s the bass response. Is better or worse? I feel mine sounds worse or maybe I am just overreacting because I really can’t hear much for a difference than before. Update! I just test run my JBL xtreme 4 from medium to high volume with different low and high bass songs, I must say holy sh** . The bass response is much more punchier than before. Thanks JBL
@marvelgeorge8181 it's better, special on the max volume where bass was stay low on let's say 80%. Now everything is so well balanced. You know, it's not about biggest punch on the market in terms of bass but it's about quality of it. I love how pure sound is on this mobile device! You csn take that everywhere & have every fun you can imagine with it

@marvelgeorge8181 it is, now this speaker is truly perfect. I love how they make perfection with it. & AI in it make even old music sound great, that's something truly special
I 100% cannot tell the difference between these speakers other than aesthetics and features. They sound identical, but both are great! Honestly really makes me consider picking up an Xtreme 3 when it's on sale now that the 4s are rolling out. I bought a Bose Soundlink Flex and wanted to get something bigger, but I just don't want to drop 400 dollars on a speaker that isn't some home stereo stuff like a big subwoofer or some nice hi-fi bookshelf speakers
Well said! I would also be really hesitant to buy one if it weren't for the purposes of my channel here. It's very nice, but I mean that's why i shop on ebay usually.
I love my marshall killburn and middleton but i wanna get jbl xtreme if they manage to make their shape and design just like how marshall design did more recrangular shape 😂
JBL extreme 3 sounds best. Good bass as well as more open with clarity. But no aura cast. So if you want multi-room speakers then go for extreme 3 2pc and charge 5 4 pc with these 6 speakers you can cover all the rooms with party boost technology which is more powerful than auracast.
I just got the Xtreme4 and I'm very surprised, the sound is not good. It sounds tinny and really trouble-forward and it sorely LACKS bass. If it'll depend on having to use the EQ on the JBL app to get some decent bass? that's a dealbreaker b/c I would want any family or friend to be able to link in and they won't have the EQ so it'll sound at its baseline. Its baseline/out of the box without downloading the EQ should sound good but it doesn't. I had a JBL Xtreme2 and it sounded a lot better and had a lot more bass and was satisfied with it but the battery died and thus could no longer use it. I returned the Xtreme4, sadly. I'll be looking at the Bose Max next.
@LukeR1M Zdravím, ja mám verziu ND. U tohto reproduktoru dosť záleží aj na tom, kde je položený; podľa toho počuť basy viac alebo menej. Ale vravím, mňa sklamal, čakal som viac.

Is the extreme 4 huge to carry in a normal sackbag? Should i go for jbl charge 5 wifi then? I already have jbl partybox 110 for home use. Please suggest
I don't think the JBL PartyBox 110 can pair with any of the smaller waterproof speakers, like the Boombox 3, Charge 5, Extreme 3 / 4, Flip 6 etc, only to another PartyBox speaker like PartyBox 310, PartyBox 710 etc
That was great help. I lost the extreme 3 ridding my motorcycle. So I'm shopping around for a used on on the local Flea market apps. I and wanted to know which one to target. I can get a 3 for $110 vs a 4 for $ 280
it's not. BUT you can still link the previous partyboost speakers in the latest JBL app... it's not as smooth of a process, but not horrible. I linked the Xtreme 3 and 4 in mono.
Hi Danny, I have a jbl xtreme 2 and I'm thinking of getting a marshall middleton. I think the jbl has better audio but I don't like the design of the xtreme 3 and 4. Am I making a bad purchase if I buy the Marshall?
@dfp8813 I feel ya. I do think the xtreme 3 and 4 provide a slightly better audio experience but no so much greater that it rules out the Middleton. If you love the look of the Middleton I'd get it.
hello Danny, thank you for your work. An update I took advantage of black Friday and had the Marshall middleton for 200€ and the xtreme 4 for 240€. I bought the Marshall but when I tested the sound next to my old xtreme 2 I didn't like it at all. the Middleton sounds like the sound was always distorting . I went back to the store and bought the xtreme 4, much better sound
Wait up! In the specs it says if you plug the xtreme 4 to the ac, you will get acces to more power. Can you confirm the difference with results from the db meter?
Hey dan, can you help me ? I need a new portable speaker and Im so confused, I dont know wich one is better for me. I kinda need a good sounding portable speaker and I understood that the flex 2 gen is the best...but im worried about the size. Bout the fact that if it's too small and I'm with some friends idk like in the gym, or in the car, I wouldn't be able to listen clear. I was thinking about the soundcore x600 but it doesn't have great basses. Can you help me pls? (I'm in love with the middletone and the bose soundlink max but my budget stops at 170$ max)
ebay.us/am3CKs you can find Marshall Middleton on eBay for very close to your budget (all affiliate links on this post if you want to use it). Finding a 170 big bass speaker may be difficult. Soundcore (ebay.us/Gt7YXH motion + boom) and Tribit (ebay.us/uFtGbr stormbox blast)both make decent powerhouses, but I'd strongly recommend eBay again on your budget.
All those high end speakers and the soundcore was the only one that sounded as good as the JBL! Probably half the price too! I have the 3 and really want to upgrade cause im a whore, but dont hear much of a difference...
1 usb-C can cover the older type connection (usb-A and 3.5 audio jack). simply press Play+Bluetooth (hold until the speaker restart), then it goes to AUX mode.
@@mikehancock6280 Oh no ! In Cad the bose max cost 550$ and i bought Soundcore X600 for 150$ and it sound really better of the bose to my ears ! I really love the X600 !
Leaving my comment here until someone give me a spare JBL Xtreme 4. This is my dream speaker and I couldn't afford to buy here in my country. It's too expensive 🥺

Presne tento istý problém mám s Extrem 4 aj ja. Sklamal ma, basy sú veľmi slabé.
What version did you have?

Would you go a an JBL Xtreme 4 or 2x JBL Charge 5 speakers & run them as a pair?
Any news about flip 7 😢??
I thought the Extreme 3 sounded better balanced than the Extreme 4, at least that's how it sounds in this video
Greetings, I have a question, the cover that brings at the bottom to cover the battery is not scratched in the use it has as a base of the speaker? 🤔🤔
I have the Xtreme 3 and it is an excellent speaker, there is no reason to upgrade to the Xtreme 4
Thank you for that. I was about to upgrade till I saw your comment. The 3 is coming today.
The bose and the m/killburn nice treble and quality bass its not harsh in the ears by the way im a Jbl lover.
Is the extreme 4 huge to carry in a normal sackbag? Should i go for jbl charge 5 wifi then? I already have jbl partybox 110 for home use. Please suggest

Which portable Bluetooth speaker out of all the brands sounds the best for techno music?
That was great help. I lost the extreme 3 ridding my motorcycle. So I'm shopping around for a used on on the local Flea market apps. I and wanted to know which one to target. I can get a 3 for $110 vs a 4 for $ 280
hi danny, please test the Dali Katch G2, thanks. :)
The question here, is the auracast backwards compatible to partyboost speakers?
it's not. BUT you can still link the previous partyboost speakers in the latest JBL app... it's not as smooth of a process, but not horrible. I linked the Xtreme 3 and 4 in mono.
aura cast is backwards comparable but you have to use the app to connect. i know this because i have an xtreme 4 and also a flip 6
Biggest difference for me is #3 = 53hz, #4 = 44hz. Same old SBC codec so not much difference.
I just saw a graph of their actual frequency responses, & the only went down about 2hz or something small like that.
Xtreme 3 has 55 Hz bass extension and Xtreme 4 has 53.4 Hz. Not that big of a difference.

The extreme 3 and 4 looks predator.. so i will call it JBL predator 3/4
Is the xtreme 3 better in audio quality if you do wired audio compared to Xtreme 4 Bluetooth?
Fr
If i have a Extra Money I'll buy it but for now i stick with my Jbl Flip 6 Green.
Wait up! In the specs it says if you plug the xtreme 4 to the ac, you will get acces to more power. Can you confirm the difference with results from the db meter?
its a little extra oomf, but i haven't tested at this time.
