So the JBL Xtreme 4 has some very big upgrades to it like a swappable battery, better sound and Auracast. And in general, this is a super portable and loud speaker thats great to take to the beach or park with you. However, the JBL Xtreme 4 is a little pricy, and for not a lot more you can get either the JBL Boombox 3 or the Sony ULT 7, which is currently my favorite speaker for summer 2024. Either way if you’re trying to choose between picking up the JBL Xtreme 4 or either of these two big boys, lets see which one is right for you.
