Charge 4 Goes Everywhere With Me
on July 14, 2020
Posted by: BeaksNSwarms

When I was much younger (aged 65 now), I worked at a high end audio store and I sold the heck out of JBL Studio monitors. Excellent speakers, efficient power usage, precise, great cabinetry (early 80's). Compared to Dahlquist, Polk, and others, JBL's were the best for all types of music, for music lovers who appreciate precision.
15 or so years ago, I purchased JBL Home Studio speakers for surround AV use in my home. Great sound, but poor design of the dumb mylar rimmed drivers failed waay prematurely and I was unable to purchase replacement drivers and ended up with Kef speakers.
A year ago, I purchased the JBL Charge 3 and was pleasantly surprised with the sound quality, especially for a bluetooth speaker. I took my Charge 3 everywhere. I am a beekeeper and landscape designer and would take my Charge 3 with me to my apiaries and landscape jobs. Again, one of the drivers failed unexplainedly (grrrr) and I am baffled because I am picky and intolerant of any sign of distortion that
might damage my speakers. VERY PICKY.
So now, I have purchased a Charge 4 and am again very pleased with the sound. I am a little surprised by the larger size and the resulting better bass response, but I am waiting to see if it, like lots of speakers, diminish the high and midrange frequencies for more bass. I haven't had it long enough to do some critical listening with specific pieces of music yet. I listen to everything, but always ultimately return to jazz. We will see.

I never could imagine replacing my amplifiers and multi speaker systems, but these JBL bluetooth speakers have me at least briefly considering the potential as I age and start downsizing and considering changing my old High Fidelity habits for simpler and less things. In part, that will depend
upon the reliability and durability of my

Best sound you can get.

There's good reason JBL is the speaker everyone is buying. Great sound, great build, and compatible with friends. Only have 2 gripes, I wish it paired with all generations. And I wish it had its own EQ.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Two JBL speakers, same result
on July 10, 2020

We have had two JBL speakers, both around 2 years. The sound quality when you get them is great. It slowly progresses down until it messes up as if it’s a broken radio on steroids. It’s terrible. Both did this within two years of owning them. I think we have to move on from JBL speakers.
