The power output of XTREME 4 is advertised as 2 x 30 W RMS woofer + 2 x 20 W RMS tweeter (AC power mode) OR 2 x 20 W RMS woofer + 2 x 15W RMS tweeter (Battery mode) So they are suggesting this is now a 100 watt speaker. But the way the specs are written is open to interpretation. My own feeling is this remains a 50 watt speaker on AC power just as the Xtreme 3 is. Neither way, having bots the kilburn still sounds way more open and just better.
I have both these exact speakers. And just today did a blind listen test with 2 individuals switching back and forth to both speakers at varying volumes and various songs. Repeated same scenarios with each speaker. They knew nothing of my own opinion and at conclusion they both had the exact same opinion as I had. Ended up (while never knowing which speaker they were hearing during any of the testing) the sound quality of the Marshall was a clear winner though the ext4 was a bit louder at max volume. But not at all nearly enough so to overcome the better sound quality of the Marshall. After the test I also played with the JBL equalizer app and still could simply never quite match/duplicate the better quality sound of the kill2. The kill2 is the better quality listening experience over the ext4. And in our opinions it was not a real close or hard to tell type of better sound difference but was a noticeable enough of one from the first part of the blind test. I know people who become brand loyal or own a specific brand can tend to get insulted which is ridiculous. But the Kill2 wins and is what it is. Its just an overall fuller and clearer sound. And it can be had (at least right now) for much cheaper than the ext4. If ones only goal is purely being loudest then the ext4 only slightly wins but the quality of that sound (even being just slightly lower at max volume) of the Kill2 is just a much better listen.
I agree. I owned a Middleton and the sound is better than the xtreme 3 tho xtreme 3 is louder but the sound quality,bass and treble on middleton is way clearer and full.
Not changing drivers like on the new boombox led to this cute result. At the end of the day there’s only so much sound that these tiny woofers are able to put out. Remember that speakers like these are powered by small batteries so you’re lucky if they put out 30 Watts continuous RMS. not more. nowhere near 100 or whatever they claim. don’t be fooled guys
People clearly dont seem to know what quality music sounds like. Jbl has quality, period. Marshall has overprocessed upper bass, rest all frequencies are muffled. Since maximum people like it that way, i think marshal has hit the spot.
Quality what?? Clear your ears bro. Im own a jbl party box 320 but On this comparison its marshall who delivers clear sound. Over processed or whatever you called it is more important to hear a great sound..
Già l’ho fatto però usando il Charge 5 Wi-Fi. E ti posso dire che non conviene per niente prendere l’Xtreme 4, meglio il Charge che costa molto meno. Oggi caricherò il video
@@passionespeaker mi aspettavo di più bassi più volume più potenza visto che non ha subwoofer a differenza del jbl xtreme 3 e il carge 5 è più potente al volume max
