JBL Xtreme 4
What Hi-Fi Sound and Vision India
|August 2025
JBL's entertaining Bluetooth speaker delivers a big dose of refinement
-
The JBL Xtreme 4 originally launched at ₹31K but can currently be bought for ₹23K. There are some big-hitting rivals to contend with at this level, including the Award-winning Dali Katch G2 and the new Bose SoundLink Max.
It's still the cylindrical shape we have come to know and love, with the same tactile, ruggedised wraparound grille, which is made from a combination of recycled plastic and fabric. It’s still waterproof and dustproof - well, it wouldn't be very ‘Xtreme’ if it fell over at the first sight of a raindrop, would it?
On the top of the speaker, the button layout has switched from a strip on the Xtreme 3 to a central block of six. Flip the speaker upside down and you will see another change. The Xtreme 4 has a new base which features two strips of silicone bubble feet to give the speaker a bit more grip and greater stability. The driver configuration is the same as on the Xtreme 3, so there are two 70mm woofers and two 20mm tweeters behind the grille.

Pro-Ject nails the affordable Bluetooth turntable recipe
There are some combinations that work beautifully, even if you wouldn't necessarily consider putting them together in the first place. Beans on toast is an odd combination when you think about it, as is surf and turf, while carrots in a cake has no right to be as good as it is. Mixing poached eggs with smoked salmon is essentially combining poultry and fish, but no one complains when a bougie brunch spot has Eggs Royale on the menu, do they?
