As we hit the hot months, even the most online among us think about getting out of the gaming chair and into the real world. Staples like outdoor music or travels through nature almost certainly contributed to your enjoyment of the three day weekend we just had, so it’s only natural to want to gear up for the rest of the year. This impulse led us to look through our listing of the best Bluetooth speakers more earnestly, and we found our favorite premium mid-sized Bluetooth speaker — the JBL Xtreme 4 — to not only be there, but also to be on sale.

Right now, you can get a JBL Xtreme 4 for just $250 instead of the usual $380. Not only is that a savings of $130, it’s also the lowest we’ve seen these speakers on Amazon. If you’re looking to get something premium for just $250, be sure to tap the button below, or keep reading to see why they made it on our list.

Why you should buy a JBL Xtreme 4 Bluetooth speaker

The JBL Xtreme 4 Bluetooth speaker is an IP67 speaker that’s beach ready, rain and shine, and even has a shoulder strap to keep your hands open for beach towels and all your other gear. It’s a powerful speaker that’s just under a foot wide, and we’ve found that its noise output rivals slightly bigger speakers. Notably, the Xtreme 4 has an impressive battery life of 30 hours. How it gets there is pretty interesting, though. In standard conditions you’ll get a still-impressive 24 hour battery life, but if you turn on ‘Playtime Boost’ mode you get the extra six hours in exchange for not being able to use the EQ and losing just a few tones that take high energy to produce. If you’re out and about in a noisy environment, as we expect you’ll be with the JBL Xtreme 4, you’ll likely be very forgiving of the changes for some extra battery life. For more details that you probably won’t catch anywhere else — I totally missed that the carabiner on the strap had a bottle opener — be sure to read our full JBL Xtreme 4 review.

We’re not really sure how long you’ll be able to save $130 on a JBL Xtreme 4, taking its price from $380 to $250, but as we’re just after Memorial Day, we know that most ongoing deals will stop shortly. If you want this now, be sure to tap the button below. Otherwise, consider checking out our listing of the best waterproof Bluetooth speakers where you’ll still find the JBL Xtreme 4, but also find a lot of other fun gear as well.

Hurry: The JBL Xtreme 4 won’t be $300 for much longer

Now that the ice is finally thawing, it’s time to saddle up the steed and venture into the great outdoors! But what wilderness excursion is complete without a proper soundtrack? A Bluetooth speaker is a great way to entertain friends and family with tunes and podcasts while you’re on the move, mainly if you invest in a model with a high IP rating. One speaker that is perfect for the job is the JBL Xtreme 4, which is on sale this week: 

For a limited time, the JBL Xtreme 4 is marked down to $300 at retailers like Amazon, Best Buy, and Crutchfield, saving you $80. This is actually part of a larger JBL sale that looks to be affecting most of the brand’s devices (so it might be a good time to look for headphone deals, too).
