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 ₹25K (we originally tested its predecessor, the Xtreme 3, for more). 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.

YG Acoustics Carmel 3
On paper, the Carmel 3 from Colorado-based speaker specialist YG Acoustics has a credibility problem. They cost a huge amount of money but are small, rather plain-looking two-way floorstanders.
