I bought the charge 4 to upgrade from my flip 4. I already enjoy it more than the flip 4. It has the same waterproofing, portablility, and epic sound quality while also adding bigger drivers and a whole heck of a lot more battery life. They aren't kidding when they say 20 hours of battery. I've had it for a week and it's still running on the same 3/5 battery lights as when it was shipped (and trust me when I say I've used it everday since it came. Plus free 2 day shipping, I love JBL and I hope this convinces you to also buy one and see for yourself! (Plus you can always start with the flip 4, it's smaller with a smaller battery but with the sound quality to match, it's perfect for indoors/smaller spaces.) And if you get both they connect together with party connect plus which is flawless and allows 100+ compatable speakers to also connect!
excellent sound, but cuts out completely sometimes

I want to love this speaker, the sound is clear and the bass is strong for its size. Vocals come through crisp. However, I don't know if I just have a bad one or what, but it cuts out completely sometimes which is very frustrating. I thought it was a bluetooth issue, so I went and bought an aux cord because I don't need the bluetooth really; I only use the speaker with a record player that I have in a small living room. But even connected by line, it cuts out completely, once in a while, for about 10-15 seconds each time. So its not the bluetooth, its the speaker itself. Now I've thrown away the box and I have this dud on my hands. But if you get one that works well, I think you'd enjoy its sound.
I would recommend this to a friend!

The sounds clear but truthfully I thought it would be louder .My father enjoyed it overall so we'll still keep it.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
