@@alanrossreviews Input ports are an avenue for failure for an IP67-rated device, and I'm guessing not much of their target market use AUX in anyway. The only time that I use AUX-IN on my BT speakers is when I'm doing speaker measurements. If they were targeting the micro-DJ market, they'd offer one of the low-latency wireless connection options, like SKAA. Soundboks already does this. It would be nice though if the USB port wasn't used only for charging, and the BT speaker would show up as an USB audio device when plugged into a PC ... :-).

how much would implementing SKAA add? anyways jbl target market are young males with bass heavy taste not micro-dj market as you said. but then why did they ever bother with the aux port? also why speakerphone functionality no longer considered a big deal?

Appreciate the solid review! I'm upgrading from a Charge 5 - just need a bit more volume (mostly used in a noisy volleyball gym). Considering I can get the 3 for $250 vs. $380 for the 4, I've decided to go for the 3, even though the 4 does sound a bit better to me at high volumes. I still think the 3 will be a big upgrade over the Charge 5 at those high volumes - seems like the Xtreme 3 at roughly 60-70% volume will be the same loudness as the Charge 5 with better sound, plus some room to extend louder.

They sound very different so its no surprise if one suits you more than the other especially in a small room

[@HAIYANE9910]

There's nothing wrong with this kind of setup. It's actually called submarine coaxial drivers. But the real problem is the tweeter housing is wayy too chunky, so mostly blocks the front, exp the midrange corners. So the mids cames out there.

I've encountered 3 different variants of the Charge 5 in the US. The ND,NT, & TT. The ND & NT are made in China. The TT is made in Vietnam. The ND has the most dynamic volume & sound, with a thick & heavy low bass response. The ND isn't quite as loud, with a softer or warmer sounding bass. The TT has a nice, clean,clear sound, but the overall volume & bass response drops off drastically in comparison to the other 2 variants. This is why it's best to go in-store & purchase JBL speakers, so you can physically lift the box up & read the serial number. You never know what variant you're purchasing online.

The analysis was so good - the way you were checking the accuracy of those 5 bands, was great. You said it's a little bit better in terms of sound quality, but has decent feature and hardware improvements. Can the Xtreme 3 have the updated 5 band EQ support for now ..? How big is the battery in real-time real-life experience ..? Is it worth an upgrade from X3 for a bit better sound quality and bigger battery ..?

[@alanrossreviews]

Its a good question about the 5 band eq, im guessing even if they could enable it for the x3 they won't because it would be one less reason to buy the x4. Battery life i no longer test due to too many variables but the battery is big, it should last way longer than the x3. Also seems nd and gg version are quite different for x4. For me x4 gg is a little better than x3 gg but i wouldn't update unless i could get a good price on the x3 👍

Hopefully that battery never swells...! Maybe someone will come up with a 3d-printable handle that can snap on to the top of the speaker, using those loops for the strap. Out of all of them, I like the looks and form factor of the original JBL Extreme. 150 Hz dip due to diffraction or interference between the woofers? I'm not sure that's it - the 1/4 wavelength at 150 Hz is 57cm, or 22 inches. The distance between the two woofers is much less than that.

But not there for near field and then there in far field? Id say room mode if others weren't noting same thing

[@Grommet2007]

@@alanrossreviews It is interesting. Assuming that it's not a room mode, maybe some sort of phase issue?

Have you had a chance to take a look at the "brane x" bluetooth speaker? supposedly they were measuring 95db at 35hz 1m and functional response down to 20hz... and thats out of a mid size bt speaker... Website description is a bit too smug for my taste but it uses a split voice coil woofer and an opposing magnet array on the vc itself between the coils to counter the force exerted by the rise in air pressure as the cone excursion increases, a reverse spring of sorts. Lets the woofer behave as if its in a much larger box.

[@alanrossreviews]

they are marketing the the dual magnet setup as groundbreaking but its been done before. i have looked at this before and it sounded like snake oil to me. functional response means? 95hz peak for a single 35hz tone at max volume? it needs to deliver for the price for sure but too much marketing nonsense like 100 times louder than normal subs right?

[@Westcoastweenie]

​​@@alanrossreviews yeah, it struck me as kind of a similar setup to jbl's split coil woofers for their pro stuff. But the magnets in between on the coil itself are novel... i think. The way they advertise it drives me a bit nuts, calling it the breaker of "hoffmans iron law" and 10x more efficient... yeah right. I agree at the end of the day it'll only move as much air as a 6x8 woofer can move. No beating physics there.

Hey Alan, another in-depth and funny review! Thanks for making my day, again 😀 It's a real shame that the new Xtreme 4 brings so little to the table, was hoping for more improvements. What's really disappointing to me is the lack of bass at higher volumes when comparing to other speakers like the Encore or the Stormbox Blast. That's really unfortunate, maybe they will come with a firmware update to change this, but given the history, probably unlikely. I really liked the HK Go Play series, especially the latest model, but I'm worried about the bottom firing woofer when using it outdoors. What would you recommend for mostly outdoor usage (with some mixed indoor usage)? Is it still the Stormbox Blast? I'm also considering the JBL Encore, but I have no usage for the mics (it's roughly the same price as the Stormbox Blast and the HK Go Play 3). I wish WiFi was more popular, we have either the JBL Charge 5 (decent, but mono) or the Boombox 3 (quite large and expensive). The rest are smart speakers, tailored to indoor usage (with a few exceptions).

Last comment only the lartybox speakers or encore essential warrant their price tags in the jbl lineup... charge 5 on sale for 119 or 129 isn't bad but way better options at those prices and even flip 6 on sale for 89 not bad but sounds horrible once it gets to 80 percent volume and not only that the wking d320 is only 60 bucks and smokes the flip 6 for sound and battery life and better app

[@alanrossreviews]

ive never had the chnace to try the big partybox speakers so dont know if thats where jbl value is. people like the 1XX series right?

[@HAIYANE9910]

W king isn't always like JBL's bass. Keep that in your mindset, probably flip 6 it has deeper bass. And W-king has boosted midbass. W-king nothing be deeper than JBL.

[@HAIYANE9910]

And you said d320 smoke Flip 6. Hellyah, chose correct variant. And you will get deep bass. Probably don't own any portable speakers. Also charge 5 now has decent value, even more cheaper now. Get the ND charge 5. And also you will get some warmer deep sound. And better quality.

[@HAIYANE9910]

And you probably don't hear about Flip 6 price. DROP INTO 65$ AND YOU CAN EVEN GET 4 FLIP 6 IN JUST ONE SINGLE PAYING 80$!!

Hi Alan, still wondering if you're gonna giva a try to the latest Motion boom, the one with 0.44 firmware, cause for me sounds different compared to the one with 0.43 (different models). I'll understand if you won't cause other things are coming! (i.e boom 2)

That's only on newer versions i think, i have the older versions.

​@@alanrossreviewsContact soundcore, tell them you want to upgrade your firmware from 00.43 to 00.44, they'll ask for your serial number, after that they'll purchase & push the upgrade to you, in my own case, it was less than 24 hrs One of the booms was purchased on 2022(00.43), the other one was purchased last year(2023)@00.44 firmware If you've got spare time, you might want to give it a try Cheers!

[@shoerice5083]

So, im having a tough time trying to find the difference between the xtreme 4 and the soundcore boom 2. Now im seeing new things about both of them, some are good, some are bad. Techder audios said that he expected way more from the boom 2, it's very cheap and plasticy feeling, and has also bass rolloff at high volumes, and the xtreme 4 has it's own problems with the lower mids etc. No clue what to think. I wanted to order the boom 2, and now i cancled the order because i started thinking if it was a smart idea. The jbl seems promising, the soundcore is cheap but can be a watse of money if the jbl becomes better.

[@alanrossreviews]

Yup i think there will be more reviews coming to answer these questions over next few weeks.

[@shoerice5083]

@@alanrossreviews waiting for that.. At this point i don't know where to turn, i can order the boom 2, from amazon only, and it costs 190 dollars sadly with the shipping and everything. So for me it's not 130$. So it gotta be great it im willing to pay 60$ more. The xtreme 4 will be available in my country for sure, and jbl prices in here can change drastically, like the boombox 3 i got for 320$...

[@alanrossreviews]

you think the single woofer can compete?

[@joser3613]

@alanrossreviews it looks like a close battle on paper. Soundcore Boom 2 will have a 50w "racetrack" woofer and dual 15w silk tweeters totaling to 80w. While the jbl only has dual 20w woofers and dual 15w tweeters.

[@nvc.]

Hey Alan. Does the speaker work normally if you take the battery out and plug to wall? Im curious about this because all next JBL speakers like the partybox 120 and 320 will also have a removable battery, if they play without it, it will be awesome for longevity.

[@alanrossreviews]

no it turns on but then thinks the battery is at zero, flashes red and turns itself off.
