The JBL Xtreme can make a lot of noise without compromising on sound quality. With its splash-proof design, you don't need to worry about surprise rain showers, and it can even be rinsed off under running water.

Has a very loud maximum volume; Produces high quality sound; Ability to charge two mobile devices at the same time; JBL Connect mode allows you to pair with other speakers; Splashproof and can rinse under running water

Can't be fully submerged in water; Can't go back a track using on-speaker buttons; Cumbersome design

Portable speakers that can handle a more demanding lifestyle is becoming increasingly common. Some of these speakers may even have features and functionality that make

Good sound

A bit pricey

While the Xtreme isn't truly portable, it manages to take the high scoring sound of the JBL Pulse 2, expand on what it has to offer, and provide subtle improvements. The crisp clarity and punchy bass are rivalled by none with this particular model.

Seriously big sound; Clear; punchy bass; The battery

The size; Quiet muddled bass

Super strong base; Good quality of sound

Expensive; Bluetooth connection is not secure

Portable Bluetooth speakers are pretty commonplace these days. They range in price from $20 all the way to hundreds of dollars. It can be tough to choose which one to buy, and it's hard to tell just what sets a speaker and company apart.

Design; sound; battery life

Bit pricey but you really do get what you pay for

It was awesome for a while, but 5 months in the battery charge is not holding 15 hours any more. It's cutting off in 9-10 hours now. I haven't changed anything. Same content (music an podcast). I know they claim it can very by what's played but I haven't changed anything.

Recently purchased the JBL Extreme so the I can stream Pandora. I use the speaker in my car to replace Sirus radio. The sound is wonderful, and using Pandora gives me so many options of music. The best speaker available as far as I'm concerned. So happy with my purchase!

I use the product daily. It is a great buy, but a little on the expensive side for a speaker. It is great for parties and different occasions. Definitely would recommend this speaker to family and friends.

Looks great; Loud; Perfect for all occasions; Solid Bass

Size a little too large to fit into a backback

Great speaker. Going strong for over a year. Multiple trips to the beach where it sits in the sand and salty humid air. I love the strap! It's made out of seatbelt material. Really durable and comfortable. This thing is tough. Good sound quality, particularly lowers frequencies.

First impressions Portable wireless speakers come in all shapes and sizes, but when it comes to the JBL brand I have always found that their models are tubular in design, with the buttons located either on the top of the curved edge or on one of the ends.

Large and punchy sound; portable; has all the features you need

No features that really stand out to me; pricey
