Small footprint, Big Sound. Great features

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] After using this speaker daily for a couple weeks, I can say that I love this thing. The Build Quality is wonderful. The fabric used to cover most of it feels rugged. The rubber that covers the endcaps, as well as the base, seems very durable. The flap covering the charging connector/USB and Aux closes very tightly and makes a good seal. Battery life has been great and seems to be as advertised. The buttons make a satisfying click when pressed. This thing is dead easy to use and connects to my Android phone seamlessly. Also, as the name suggests, It can charge your device as well. The sound it makes is great out of the box. It's balanced and sounds great with a wide variety of music. I find that with an EQ app it gets even better. This little speaker can kick with the help of the passive radiators on either end. It also has the ability to connect to other jbl speakers, but I have not had a chance to try this out. There are lights built into the base that show battery life so you have an idea of where you are at. I take this thing with me whenever I have the chance. Good looks, good sound. JBL has designed a great product here. I highly recommend if you need a great looking speaker that sounds just as good.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Was great until the power button broke

I purchased this item 2 months ago, and after moderate usage the power button has shifted so far down into the device, it is near impossible to switch on, its only a matter of time before the membrane breaks, and it it is no longer waterproof. I could maybe understand if it had suffered through hard usage, but it has spent most if its time sitting on an office desk. I guess I am going to use it until it totally breaks, lob it into a volcano, and then try my luck with another brand.

Stands out

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] JBL charge 4 stands out like it’s previous charge 3 with better sound stage and overall features.
Battery life is awesome and you won’t be disappointed with the purchase. The bass is rich and connection to all Bluetooth devies have been easy.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This JBL charge 4 is excellent it can charge your phone still while playing music. The sound is good the one thing that disappoints me is the bass is a little soft if your into bass other then that it’s a great product. I highly recommend the JBL charge 4.

BOOMY! JBL speaker with great features.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am very impressed with the new JBL charge 4. The sound is clear and has more boomy base compared to the Charge 3, which I own also. The JBL charge 4 is a definite improvement with the louder base. Other improvements are that It does have a higher capacity battery (7500 mAh) than the charge 3 which is 6000 mAh and a type C charge for it, which to me is better and faster on charging. Also the JBL charge 4 is slightly bigger than the JBL charge 3. The speaker is waterproof (IPX7) and with the higher capacity battery makes an even better powerbank to charge your device while listening to music for a longer time . Just don't forget to download the JBL connect app to connect more than one JBL speaker and to keep up with any firmware updates. I have to honestly say the JBL Charge 4 is an improvement from the charge 3. When comparing the two with features and sound I choose the JBL charge 4.

Outdoor friendly and Indoor friendly
on January 15, 2019
Posted by: The Head Hunter

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The speaker worked well even when immersed in water for no more than 30 minutes, but even though there were some water, the speaker still was functional--making this one weather-resistant and outdoor friendly. The only thing I didn't like about it is the one-transducer handicap, but when I listened to a couple of songs, the product does well even with the one-transducer handicap, reproducing the audio faithfully thanks to advanced JBL technology. Lightweight so you can carry it with you anywhere you want, but the built-in battery charger for your smartphone is a lifesaver. You can hook up 2 "like-minded" Charge 4 devices (with a special method) for a truer soundstage like its siblings before it. As long as you don't over-immerse the Charge 4 in water (remember NO speaker can be waterproof for any more than 1 hour, 30 minutes is the median) and if you are very good in portable speaker positioning, then the advanced JBL technology more than makes up for the one-transducer handicap. If you can afford to do so, then it would be great to buy 2 of these for a truer audiostage. I suggest that you test-hear this product before you buy, even though it's a good speaker in spite of some shortcomings that I didn't like.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We did a 14 mile run/walk with this speaker in my backpack and it worked AWESOME!!! This speaker never missed a beat the sound clarity is very clear and the BASS is amazing! It was fully charged when we started and still had 4 lights left when we were done. To connect it to my iPhone was easy as well. I haven't used the charging port yet but I'm sure its gonna do well.
