Short answer: the JBL Xtreme 4 on measured sound quality, the LG Xboom Bounce on price. The JBL Xtreme 4 ranks #43 of 120 large speakers, rated 3.8/5, at $309.95. The LG Xboom Bounce ranks #49, rated 3.6/5, at $149.99, $159.96 cheaper.
The case for the JBL Xtreme 4: a removable battery and slightly deeper bass than the Xtreme 3. The catch: it’s high priced, has some bass boost and an upper-bass-to-midrange dip that can’t be EQ’d out, plus some upper-mid and treble boost at high levels.
Buy the JBL Xtreme 4 if sound quality is the priority over the price, or the LG Xboom Bounce if the price is the priority over sound quality.
