Returned. Overall, it gives a nice, quality impression with its build and the bass is really impressive. Unfortunately, the mids and highs are very poor, and even the equaliser in the app doesn't help much. From such a large speaker, I expect it to be a party speaker - I expect it to be really loud across all frequencies, but it just booms and booms. I caught myself putting my ear to the grille to check if the tweeters were even working. I would only choose it for electronic music, R&B, or techno, for when you're sitting with friends and want clear sound from a quality brand while still being able to hear each other talk – but for that, I probably don't need to buy such a big speaker. I also had a Sencor Resonex Maxi with the same wattage at home to try. The sound coming from that Sencor is so powerful, with distinct, clear vocals and highs that I was surprised; it nearly blew my ears off. That's what I imagine a party speaker to be, but be warned, that Sencor has completely different issues (I'll write a review for that too) – definitely don't buy it. Just out of interest, after two hours of playing at about a quarter power, sometimes slightly more, the battery dropped by 10% from a full charge.
really high quality workmanship
bass
Option to switch between normal bass, soft deep bass, and hard punchy bass
app with equaliser
Poor sound characteristics, indistinct mids and highs.
The paper version of the Czech manual is missing.
The app sometimes didn't remember my custom settings on my mobile (iPhone).

Worked perfectly for 10 minutes
After 10 minutes, the speaker made a crackling sound and stopped working. Sent back for a warranty claim.

Despite the sound distortion at maximum volume, I am thrilled with the purchase. The depths lightly vibrate objects in the vicinity and that is exactly what I was looking for. It's ideal for sounding up a party in the garage or garden.
Unreal sound when not turned up to max
Quality workmanship
Custom equalizer settings
After amplification to about 80%, the depths are no longer noticeable

Bought as a speaker for work on the house. Until now I used a small BT speaker Sencor where the power was lacking or the old Genius SW-HF 5.1 6000 which I didn't want to keep moving around the rooms during the renovation. The JBL is exactly what I needed, performance about like the Genius but beautifully portable. We'll see how long the dusty environment lasts.
The gain wheel responds with a slight delay, and it doesn't always gain the same amount per "degree" of turn, so sometimes you turn it just a little and it's rambajs.
Also a light indicating the Bass boost is on after switching off and on mate. The indicator light remembers the status of the Bass boost before switching off and displays it, but this does not mean that the function automatically switches off when the speaker is switched on. It took me a while to get used to the fact that the bass boost needs to be switched on again every time I turn it on. But these are just little flies that you get used to.
Power
Bass
Still excellent portability for my purposes
The volume wheel on the speaker has its "flies"
Bass boost needs to be switched on every time the speaker is switched on, even if the indicator light on the speaker shows that it is already on

Lower price of the JBL series with comparable performance.
In the future, the battery can be replaced without the need for service.
Nice and clean delivery for the music.
Sufficient power for outdoor use.
Application with the possibility of setting sound and light effects.
It's already big enough to carry and store.
Not suitable for watching movies - bass is too much, dialogue is harder to hear when bass is engaged, equalizer didn't help. But the JBL Xtreme 4 is just the thing for TV 👍
