Hello everybody,

I have a JBL Xtreme 3 for maybe 6-7 months. I use it on the go, beach sometimes indoors etc.

The sound indoors is great and sometimes the bass is too much. Outside for a example on the beach when there's no support from walls etc. the box is not loud enough and the sound gets thin. So my understanding is the box has not enough power to deliver good bass without support from walls etc.

My question is: how much better is the Boombox 3 really? Is the Boombox louder and has way more power then the Xtreme?

Especially the bass from the Xtreme gets really fast very weak when not sitting right next to it.

Edit: and has someone experience to power the Xtreme or Boombox with a Powerbank with AC output? The Xtreme and Boombox has more power when plugged.

So I'm a huge JBL fan. Got a charge 2+, replaced it with a charge 3 (this one died and I replaced it), and when those died I got an Xtreme 3. Unfortunately my car was broken into, and my JBL was stolen (my wallet and registration as well, but I've got my priorities xD).

So do we know, are the Xtreme 4/Boombox 4 coming out soon? If so I can wait, otherwise, what do you guys think will have a better sound. I'm leaning towards two Xtremes, but I've never spent anytime around a Boombox.

I hope this isn't a no brainer. I'm having a hard time deciding between the two of these, and want to buy something that will last me a long time. I will be mostly listening indoors, and occasionally outdoors. I really like the Boombox 3 for how good it sounds and how bassy it is, but its size is wayy too big for me. The XTREME 4 on the other hand is like the perfect size but (imo) does not really compare to the Boombox 3 in terms of sound and low frequency performance. Ideally I would like to EQ which ever one I buy. What do you all think?

Edit: The Bose SoundLink Max is also on the table
