Act Fast to Get the Amazing JBL Xtreme 4 Portable Bluetooth Speaker With 42% Off
We're about halfway through Summer now, which means that if you're planning on throwing any outdoor parties, you should probably get to it. If you're looking for a good Bluetooth speaker to help you set the mood, then we've found a great deal on one today. The JBL Xtreme 4 is an incredibly powerful portable Bluetooth speaker with a wealth of features, and you can currently get it with 42% off. That brings the price down to $220 from the previous $380. You can get it in three different colors, but only while this deal lasts. For $250, you get a portable device with a long strap that makes it easy to carry around. Wear it as a crossbody, carry it over your shoulder, or hang it up safely; your call. The speaker itself is packed with dual woofers, two drivers, and powerful signature bass radiators -- all of which ensure rich, deep sound regardless of the tracks playing. Hey, did you know? CNET Deals texts are free, easy and save you money. The built-in AI Sound Boost monitors the incoming audio signals and predicts how the speaker should respond in real-time. This allows Xtreme 4 to push its drivers to the max and deliver fuller sound with strong bass even at high levels without any distortion. The battery is just as solid, offering up to 24 hours of playtime, plus an extra 6 hours with the Playtime Boost feature. On top of that, Xtreme 4 has an IP67 waterproof and dustproof rating, so taking it with you to the beach or the pool won't be a problem. Just be sure to get your orders in before the deal expires or the stock runs dry. Why this deal matters The JBL Xtreme 4 speaker was launched last year, and it retails for around $380. This deal slashes $160 off a portable, yet extremely powerful speaker that doesn't compromise on sound quality, making this an excellent opportunity to save.

I review Bluetooth speakers for a living, and you can save up to $130 on these awesome pre-Prime Day deals right now
Some of the best early Prime Day deals are the ones we least expect. I certainly wasn't expecting the JBL Xtreme 4 speaker to drop to its lowest ever price this early on in the sale period. While Prime Day officially starts on July 8th and runs until July 11th, it's never to early to get some of the best Bluetooth speakers at an absolute steal. I've rounded up my favorite early Prime Day deals, including speakers from iconic brands like JBL and also underdogs like Soundcore. Right now you can save $130 on the JBL Xtreme 4 and $20 on the Soundcore Boom 2. Who can say if these prices will get lower? I'd grab these deals now before the Prime Day chaos begins! I awarded the JBL Xtreme 4 a delicious 4 stars in my review last year. Yes, I reviewed this speaker a year ago, but I haven't stopped thinking about it. Everything about the Xtreme 4 is iconic: the bass, the party mode, the design. It's the gorpcore 40W bass speaker of my dreams. I'll say it now: the Xtreme 4 is the GOAT of portable speakers. The JBL party doesn't stop there. JBL's awesome Boombox range is like the Xtreme line on steroids. In our 4-star review, we loved the booming bass and the Boombox 3's ability to fill a large outdoor area. Although it's a heavy speaker, the rugged design and all-day (24 hour) battery life means it'll keep the party going regardless. It'll play even in torrential rain — it's IP67 rated. Yes, this is only a savings of $20, but the Boom 2 was already an absolute steal. A speaker of this caliber at just $119 is almost unheard of — I get my hands on enough speakers to know that by now. The Boom 2 has a massive 80W power, meaning it will go loud. Like the much pricier JBL options, the Boom 2 has a 24 hour battery life and IP67 rating, so it'll be able to follow you anywhere. Marshall consistently makes some of the best audio gear out there, and the Stanmore III is no different. This awesome amp-lookalike speaker has a 3.5mm jack input and RCA input, so you can hook it up for even higher-quality music. The speaker has designated bass and treble dials so you can turn up the bass all the way if you so desire. Yes — another JBL speaker. Well, that's because JBL just doesn't miss with its Bluetooth speakers. Although the Flip 7 came out earlier this year, the Flip 6 shouldn't be forgotten about. Especially at this awesome price. It's now below $100, which is an awesome deal for this pocket-sized 30W speaker. It's IP67 and has a 12 hour battery life, meaning it's perfect to chuck in your backpack for all day outdoor listening.

I reviewed this JBL speaker a year ago and still have dreams about it — now it's at its lowest ever price ahead of Prime Day
We're tracking the best early Prime Day deals here at Tom's Guide. As a reviews writer, I've got an intimate understanding of what tech is and isn't worth your money, so I'll be highlighting some of the best deals I find. I test loads of Bluetooth speakers, but none make me yearn quite like the JBL Xtreme 4. In my humble opinion, the JBL Xtreme 4 is the best Bluetooth speaker. If you, like me, love a speaker that makes you get up and dance, then the Xtreme 4 will be ideal. Right now the JBL Xtreme 4 is on sale for $249 at Amazon. I awarded 4 stars to the JBL Xtreme 4 in my review, but at this price, it's definitely worth a 4.5. Yes — this speaker is $130 off right now. The Xtreme 4 came out last year, so it's a pretty new speaker, all things considered. JBL hasn't hinted that the Xtreme 5 is coming, so this is still the iconic brand's flagship boombox. And what a speaker it is... When I was testing the Xtreme 4, I could feel its bass in my jaw. It made my music come alive. $249 is still a lot of money, but this is the Xtreme 4's lowest ever price. I don't know how much lower it can get — especially considering that the Xtreme 4 is still relatively new in the world of speakers. I'd grab the epic portable Bluetooth speaker at this price before the sale ends. The JBL Xtreme 4 isn't our best speaker for bass for no reason. Take a look at the passive bass radiators in the image above. These radiators bounce and jump with bass, and are visual proof that the Xtreme 4 isn't here to play around. When I was testing this speaker, I couldn't get enough of its compelling bass performance. In my 4-star review, I noted that even though I was sitting on a chair about 5 feet away from the speaker, "during Chase & Status and Bou's 'Baddadan', I could feel the bass through the chair cushion". It's not just DnB tracks that sound epic through the Xtreme 4's powerful 40W woofers (impressive for a portable speaker of this size). "Even the sultry velvet voice of Billie Eillish in 'Lunch' sounded fierce through the thumping woofer." When I tested with hip-hop, I was blown away. "Kendrick Lamar's 'Not Like Us' dominated the room through this speaker; not one layer of its hi-hat heavy beat was lost." What's more is that the Xtreme 4 has a super solid battery life of 24 hours, which is as good as the Sonos Move 2. This means the Xtreme 4 can accompany you on park outings, beach parties (its IP67 rating will help there, too), and night-long house parties. As I said in my headline, I tested the Xtreme 4 a year ago and I still think about it almost every day. If I could only have one speaker, I'd be this one.

My favorite JBL speaker is at its lowest ever price just in time for Father's Day — this is the speaker I'd get my dad
We're always hunting for the best Father's Day deals, whether that be apparel, outdoor gear, or TV gadgets. However, I'm a bit of an audio nerd, so I've got my eye on some of the best speaker deals out there. Way back in July 2024, I reviewed the JBL Xtreme 4 Bluetooth speaker. It's easily one of the best Bluetooth speakers — in fact, it's best for bass on our guide. The only cons are its weight and its price, and this massive discount eradicates the latter. Let me put you onto this incredible Bluetooth speaker — the JBL Xtreme 4 is the speaker I'd want to take home out of all the speakers I've reviewed, and for just $240? It's an utter steal and just in time for Father's Day. At just $240, this is the lowest price the Xtreme 4 has ever been. Its MSRP is $379, which I criticized for being too expensive in my 4 star review. However, at just $240? I'd run, not walk to Walmart right now. Price check: $249 @ Amazon | $249 @ Best Buy Thanks to the double woofers and JBL's proprietary Bass Radiators, the Xtreme 4's bass is utterly stonking. When I was testing this speaker, I could feel its bass in my jaw. I also filmed a video about the Xtreme 4, and you can literally see the woofers pounding in slow motion. I was utterly gobsmacked by this bass performance. Just look at that passive radiator. This is what makes the speaker's bass so darn good. I upped the bass on JBL's app to max, and I felt like my house was going to fall down. Don't get me wrong — it's not a perfect speaker. It weighs a pretty hefty 4 pounds, which was a little too much for me to carry around. That's why I'd buy this speaker for my dad, though — he can carry it! (See, there are always ways to get around these things.)(I jest, but it's a worthy justification.) The button on the far left of that image is 'AuraCast', which is basically a technology that allows you to link up multiple Bluetooth speakers for an earth-shaking, face-melting, physics-defying loudness performance. If you have other JBL speakers, you'll be able to sync all the speakers for mega-loud listening. While there's so much more to love about the JBL Xtreme 4, the bass is definitely my favorite aspect. There's a reason I fell in love with the Xtreme 4 when I tested it for a week. However, I did think it was way too pricey. But at just $240? Now I'm tempted to get two — one for me, and one for my dad.
