JBL Xtreme 5 just became a must-have party speaker at its best price

JBL's latest party-ready Bluetooth speaker has just dropped to its best price at Amazon. I'm talking about the Xtreme 5, of course, which can now be yours for just under $300 instead of nearly $400.

This big-sized unit is a proper upgrade from the ground up. This, combined with the fact that the previous generation is currently offered at its full MSRP of $380 at the e-commerce giant, makes the Xtreme 5 your must-have party companion.

• But hey, JBL's Boombox 4 is another hot pick right now, especially when it's down by $100.

As I mentioned, JBL has completely redesigned its Xtreme model this year. Not only does the unit come with built-in lights that can supercharge the dance floor, but it also boasts reworked internals to deliver significantly more powerful bass and louder audio.

On the downside, these upgrades have added to its weight, and the new model is a bit heavier than you might expect. It remains portable, though, thanks to the included shoulder strap.

Don't mind its weight? If so, this audio companion is perfectly suitable for parties, beach gatherings, birthday celebrations, and more, as its loudness and satisfying sound will keep the crowd entertained for hours.

But how long does it last, exactly? According to JBL's estimations, you can get up to 28 hours with Playtime Boost (or 24 hours when you turn off the mode). Since it uses a swappable battery, you can always carry a spare for even longer listening sessions.

If you don't want to buy a spare battery, a quick 10-minute charge provides up to two additional hours of playback. 

As I see it, the Xtreme 5 is an excellent value even at full price. But now that it's down by $101 at Amazon, it's even easier to recommend. Act fast and grab your savings while the promo lasts.
