JBL's entertaining Bluetooth speaker gets a well-considered upgrade
-
JBL has delivered some great portable Bluetooth speakers in recent years. The brand has been super-consistent with its designs and sound quality, and we have tested and handed out five stars to multiple ranges at various price points.
Now the JBL Xtreme 4 is hoping to continue the brand's fine track record.
Although it might have been tempting to kick back and just give its previous iteration, the Xtreme 3, a lick of paint, JBL has implemented tweaks designed to improve functionality, the user experience and performance. And the star rating speaks for itself...
Like a lot of tech over the past couple of years, the JBL Xtreme 4 hasn't escaped a slight bump in price. It now costs £330 (we originally tested its predecessor, the Xtreme 3, at £300). There are some big-hitting rivals to contend with at this level, including the Award-winning Dali Katch G2 (£349) and the new Bose SoundLink Max, which comes in at £399.

Luxman E-07
Ask us to talk about some of our favourite high-end phono stages of all time, and it wouldn't be long before Luxman's excellent valve-based EQ-500 is mentioned. What Hi-Fi? tested this immaculately engineered unit back in 2017, and it made such an impression that we used it in our reference system for a while.
