Now that the ice is finally thawing, it’s time to saddle up the steed and venture into the great outdoors! But what wilderness excursion is complete without a proper soundtrack? A Bluetooth speaker is a great way to entertain friends and family with tunes and podcasts while you’re on the move, mainly if you invest in a model with a high IP rating. One speaker that is perfect for the job is the JBL Xtreme 4, which is on sale this week:
For a limited time, the JBL Xtreme 4 is marked down to $300 at retailers like Amazon, Best Buy, and Crutchfield, saving you $80. This is actually part of a larger JBL sale that looks to be affecting most of the brand’s devices (so it might be a good time to look for headphone deals, too).
Why you should buy the JBL Xtreme 4
Our own AV expert, Derek Malcolm, reviewed the JBL Xtreme 4 back in June 2024 and praised the speaker for its dynamic sound quality and bountiful 30-hour battery life. “The JBL Xtreme 4’s bold and sweet sound, boundary-pushing battery, and rugged design make it the premium Bluetooth speaker to beat this year.”
The Xtreme 4 delivers a strong midrange performance, making it easy to hear the most important parts of a song: vocals, guitars, piano, and synth. The speaker’s bass radiators do a solid job at bringing punchy low-end to the table. You’ll also be able to download the JBL app to access audio presets and the graphic EQ, allowing you to fine-tune the speaker to your liking.
The app even lets you pair more than one JBL speaker together through a feature called PartyBoost (or Auracast for newer JBL products). The Xtreme 4 also boasts a tough IP67 rating, so you won’t have to worry about a downpour or rogue garden-hose blast sending your JBL to an early grave.
