JBL Boombox 4 vs Tronsmart Fiitune X30

The tradeoff: Side by side it clearly lost to the Harman Kardon Go + Play 3, the Soundcore Boom 2 and the EarFun UBoom X: listeners described muddy, dark mid-bass that fails to reproduce low notes, dull and underemphasized treble, and a boxy, sterile sound at low volume next to the JBL Xtreme 4.

JBL Boombox 4 ranking card

Older models: the JBL Boombox 3 (ranked lower, rated 3.8/5), the JBL Boombox 2 (ranked lower, rated 3.5/5) and the JBL Boombox (ranked lower, rated 2.9/5).

Pros: Pretty insane output capability for the size. IP68 protection and Auracast pairing with other current JBL speakers. Measured bass extension of 41Hz (-10dB).

Cons: Pretty overpriced for the category. Better than the Boombox 3 mostly because there are more 7 EQ bands instead of just 3 and it can be better tuned. Try Oluv’s EQ for it. Out of the box sounds worse than the Boombox 3. No Aux input.

Tronsmart Fiitune X30: $144.90 AliExpress Tronsmart Best Buy eBay

Tronsmart Fiitune X30 ranking card

Pros: A three-way, six-driver design (racetrack woofer, two midranges, two tweeters and an upward-firing driver) with 80W, Hi-Res certification, LDAC, a claimed 14 hours of battery and IPX6. It plays loud with a lot of mid-bass, reviewers found good separation of instruments and voices, and some listeners found it warm and full at high volume.

Cons: Side by side it clearly lost to the Harman Kardon Go + Play 3, the Soundcore Boom 2 and the EarFun UBoom X: listeners described muddy, dark mid-bass that fails to reproduce low notes, dull and underemphasized treble, and a boxy, sterile sound at low volume next to the JBL Xtreme 4.
