Which JBL speaker has the best bass?

The JBL Xtreme 4 has the deepest bass in the portable lineup — its larger woofer and enclosure produce bass you can feel. For its size, the Charge 5 has the best bass-to-portability ratio. The Flip 6 has good bass for a portable speaker but cannot match larger models. The Go 4 has minimal bass — physics limits what a tiny speaker can do. If bass is your priority, buy the largest JBL you are willing to carry.
