The new JBL Boombox 4 Bluetooth speaker went on a diet, but gets a big boost in the sound department.
Sometimes you need a Bluetooth speaker that’s going to knock people’s socks off, not necessarily in terms of audio quality (though that’s nice too), but in pure, unadulterated volume. For JBL fans, there’s one wireless speaker that delivers on that promise in a package that’s not a total pain in the ass to cart around, and that’s the Boombox, which just got its fourth version and some significant upgrades to boot at IFA 2025.
The highlight here, according to JBL, is that the Boombox 4 is giving you more for less, at least in the weight department. While JBL shaved two pounds off the Boombox 4 compared to the last generation, it also has 50% more output than its predecessor. Coupled with JBL’s AI Sound Boost, the company says the speaker should deliver more output while minimizing distortion, too.
