I bought this about a mounts ago to have a mid sized portable speaker. This thing sound so good, but it could be louder. But I wish there was like a better way to carry it.
The speaker checks all the boxes for a take with me party speaker. Great that it connects to as many JBL connect speakers as I can find. Up to 100 makes the mind wander. Allowing two phones to connect at once is really nice. As a solo, I may be wanting more clarity on the crystal high tones. I understand for quality perhaps is why I must have an identical speaker to make a stereo pairing, but it would be nice to allow any device into a stereo pair. Waterproof is peace of mind.
I barely got my charge 4, and so far, I’m 85% satisfied with it. I can hear static noise every time I only press the volume “up” button. Expected it be louder than charge 3.
BEST PORTABLE SPEAKER I EVER OWNED . SUPERIOR SOUND . HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS JBL CHARGE 4 FOR EVERY ONE . YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED . BUYING ONE FOR MY WIFE AND NEPHEW .
I have bought nothing but jbl since the first time I heard a jbl flip 2. Since then I have bought every charge that has came out. At first glance, I thought another great speaker, its now 30w instead of 20w and now its redesigned in many great ways. Then after trying to make a phone call like my last charge 3 could do, I was surprised that this feature was taken away, also I tried using the link feature with my charge 3 and other jbl devices, and another surprise it doesnt work. I'm kinda disappointed after buying this devices for so many years and it seems many companies are going this route with getting rid of great features. Might be taking this one back.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
