The New JBL Boombox 4 Has Been Approved in Brazil and Is Expected to Launch Soon with 210 W of Power, Up to 28 Hours of Battery Life, Lossless Audio, and IP68 Resistance.
JBL has just taken another step toward launching its next high-end speaker: the JBL Boombox 4 has been approved by Anatel, which means that the model is now cleared for official sale in Brazil. As a result, the anticipated launch could happen at any moment — and based on the revealed specifications, it promises to be one of the best and most powerful Bluetooth speakers on the market.
More than just a simple update, the new Boombox 4 arrives with noticeable improvements in design, sound power, battery life, and resistance, reinforcing JBL’s position as a global reference in the portable audio segment.
New Robust and Functional Look
According to images obtained during the investigation conducted by Canaltech, the design of the JBL Boombox 4 features subtle yet welcome changes. The handle has been reinforced with more ergonomic and robust lines — which makes it easier to transport the equipment, which is naturally large and heavy.

Brazilian scientists assembled a “climate time machine” in the heart of the Amazon to fill trees with future CO₂ and discover how much the planet’s largest forest can withstand before changing forever.

The sea may advance faster than imagined: a 1-meter rise in ocean levels could leave up to 132 million people below the waterline, while a flaw present in over 99% of coastal analyses suggests that the real risk is already being underestimated.

SpaceX admits that the idea of taking artificial intelligence servers into space could run into something simple and inevitable: the laws of physics, which make the project more complex than it seemed.

Mars may once have been covered by an immense ocean, but today it displays on its surface the mark of an “empty bathtub” which suggests a colossal disappearance of water and rekindles one of the greatest mysteries of the red planet.
Other changes include a wavy silhouette, reorganization of buttons, and a redesigned base to improve the stability of the speaker on flat surfaces. The look remains modern and imposing, maintaining the DNA of the Boombox line, which has become synonymous with power and durability in outdoor environments.
JBL Boombox 4 Will Have Two Versions
The approval also revealed that the new generation of the JBL speaker will be divided into two distinct models:
- JBL Boombox 4T – standard version
- JBL Boombox 4C – premium version with more features
The Boombox 4C stands out by offering lossless audio playback (likely via Bluetooth with high-fidelity codecs like LDAC) and greater battery life, with up to 28 hours of continuous playback — compared to 24 hours for the 4T version.
Even More Intense Sound Power
If power is what you seek, the JBL Boombox 4 will not disappoint. The new generation offers no less than 210 watts RMS, resulting from a combination of redesigned woofers and tweeters. This marks a significant leap compared to the Boombox 3, which had up to 180 watts.
The promise is for even more intense bass, without losing clarity in the mids and highs. JBL is already known for delivering balance even at high volumes, and everything indicates that the new model will continue this tradition — now with more efficient dual subwoofers.
Long Battery Life — and Fast Charging
Another point that stands out in the new JBL speaker is the battery life. The Boombox 4C can play for up to 28 hours straight, while the 4T offers up to 24 hours — and both can extend this time with the Playtime Boost feature, which adjusts the sound to optimize power consumption.
A full charge takes about 3 hours, but a practical difference lies in the fast charging: with just 10 minutes on the charger, it is possible to get up to 2.5 hours of playback — ideal for those who are always on the move and need quick sound before leaving.
IP68 Certification: Enhanced Water and Dust Resistance
One of the most important updates is the improvement in protection against the elements. The JBL Boombox 4 arrives with IP68 certification, ensuring total protection against dust and the ability to be submerged in water for up to 30 minutes at a depth of 1.5 meters.
This is a direct evolution from the Boombox 3, which had IP67. In other words: the new generation is even more resistant for use in pools, beaches, trails, camping, or any outdoor environment.
With the Anatel approval now completed, JBL is legally authorized to sell the Boombox 4 in Brazil. Although there is still no official date announced, it is expected that the launch will take place in the coming weeks.
Considering that JBL usually aligns its global launches, it is likely that the announcement will be accompanied by promotional events, online pre-sales, and distribution at major retailers across the country.
What to Expect from the New JBL Boombox?
In summary, the JBL Boombox 4 promises to combine:
- More Sound Power (210 W)
- Improved Design
- Two Versions with Differences in Battery Life and Audio Quality
- Better Water and Dust Resistance (IP68)
- Fast Charging
- Possible Lossless Audio (in the 4C Version)
If you are a fan of the Boombox line or looking for a premium Bluetooth speaker for parties, trips, outdoor events, or simply to enjoy high-quality music, the new JBL Boombox 4 could be the best choice of the year.
E NADA PRIMORAR A CONECTIDADE, NADA DE USB.
Falou tanta coisa e não falou sobre a amperagem da bateria, pois se vai aumentar a autonomia de duração pra 28hs tem que ser no mínimo uma bateria de 20.000 amperes.
20.000 equivale a 20.000.000 de mili Amperes.
Era para ter a funcionalidade via wi-fi.
