JBL waited quite a few years between the Xtreme 3 and Xtreme 4, but now has left just a year before bringing out a new model, the predictably-named Xtreme 5, and I've been using it over a week to see how it stacks up to both its chunky predecessors and the best Bluetooth speakers competition.
This is a speaker that puts the emphasis on oomph, with a pretty serious bulk to it, and an included carrying strap that's more of a necessity than optional extra. Does it add enough to make this a worthy successor to last year's five-star Xtreme 4, or is it a pretty minor update that won't really make ripples? Read on to find out.
