Definitely way better than the Extreme 3, a lot mor louder and powerfull, I purchased it to try and was planning to return the speaker if it sounde similar to the xtreme 3, but this extreme 4 sounds way better I heard it and decided to keep it, it sounds amazing, I have a boom box 3, but use more my extreme 4 because of the improved sound and portability.

“Excellent product. It’s my favorite brand — it never fails. I have a small one from this same brand that I’ve had for about ten years and it’s still in perfect condition. It has never broken, so I decided to buy this larger one from the same brand, and it sounds amazing. I love it.

It sounds amazing, gets loud, and I honestly cant remember the last time I charged it.
Granted I only use it casually, but I walked around Toronto with friends back in march, and I know I haven't charged it since then and still going strong.

I already have the Exteme 3 that I have had for years and I have used it camping, fishing, it's been out in the rain and dirt, it works great. I wanted another speaker to use at home. I love the sound of the Exteme 3 and I'm just as impressed with the Exteme 4.

The JBL Xtreme 4 overall is a good speaker, but I returned it for a handful of reasons.
What I liked:
The sound quality at low-medium volume is fairly good and sounds open enough for this size of speaker.
The size of the speaker makes it really quite portable and the shoulder strap is really high quality which makes the product all the more premium.
The removable battery and just the great battery life in general are a nice addition compared to past models.
The app is easy to use and made changing the EQ very easy.
What I did not like:
The sound quality at higher volumes greatly diminishes and thins out as the main drivers aren’t able to supply enough power for more air movement. It makes the speaker sound harsh and tinny while also losing its lower frequency presence.
The actual max volume of this speaker is okay, but just was not what I was looking for in a medium sized portable speaker.
The Price: Coming from someone who owns a pair or SOUNDBOKS 3’s and other high end Bluetooth/SKAA audio, I am used to a hefty price tag. But I just could not justify the $270 I spent on this while it was on sale (let alone retail at $380).
Conclusion:
If you want something portable that has decent sound quality for indoor listening, go ahead if you have the budget. But if you want something with better max volume performance and sound quality, I think you’re best to look elsewhere.
