JBL Xtreme 4 review: Design
Is there such thing as love at first sight?
Im not sure, and I dont think the JBL Xtreme 4 is going to help me find out.
Another neat design choice is that the Xtreme 4 is made, in part, using recycled materials.
For instance, the speakers grille incorporates post-consumer recycled plastic and fabric.
Personal tastes aside, theres no denying that the Xtreme 4 is designed with utility and longevity in mind.
It has medium-large sized buttons, all of which play their part in facilitating a swift setup.
JBL Xtreme 4 will charge your device, so you won’t have to take a break from the music
The speaker is also pretty bulky, weighing in at 4.63 lbs / 2.1kg.
Additionally, it has rubber strips at the base which provide a steady foundation.
I was a fan of the straps shoulder padding, which made it comfortable to transport around.
Believe it or not, JBL will let you replace the Xtreme 4’s battery in a kind nod to sustainability (sold separately)
Its also adjustable if you want to wear it across your body.
Should you buy the JBL Xtreme 4?
But it looksgoodtoo, no?
I also used theAnkerSoundcore Boom 2 as a point of comparison, when appropriate.
