Questions & Answers

On the JBL website, it has been advertised as a hands-free speaker phone, but this is not the case. Is there something I'm overlooking?

It has a microphone in the 3 but not in the 4, so they took it out while making up for it by adding a truly HUGE battery that allows the speakers to function for more than 20 hours

The battery on this speaker is low. Is it possible to listen to music with the cable plugged in if the battery is low?

You can plug the speaker in and it will work

What you need to know about batteries What should I do if 1) the led lights only illuminate when the speaker is connected? 1) Why does the battery app on iPhone not show the battery life?

No, it does not show up. As soon as you turn on the speaker, the led lights will show the charge level, but on the phone nothing will show up.

Selected User Reviews For JBL Charge 4 - Waterproof Portable Bluetooth Speaker - Blue

The Charge 3 is available for purchase
3/5

For me, all of the positives about the JBL Charge 4 are effectively null and void because of one giant flaw. There's only one speaker with this unit. This means that there's just one speaker constructed in addition to the two bass woofers at the sides. This isn't even in the center of the city. The Charge 3 is one of the best gadgets you can buy. This speaker system has stereo speakers instead of mono ones.

The JBL Charge 4 is the subject of this in-depth review
5/5

My initial disappointment in the JBL charge 4 was its warm sound signature. In my opinion, it is an excellent product. It isn't entirely accurate, however it is close enough that it does not distract the listener. Aside from being present, the qualities of the highs aren't strong, adding to the warmth of the style. Because of this, the vocals sound great with the majority of songs due to the excellent and exceptionally clear mids found on this device. The high notes are well represented except when they sneak up on you, which is when you can hear some slight distortion. The vocals in the lower range, however, sound really good given that the speaker does a great job and does not place too much emphasis on the radiators making the sound too You can feel as if you're in the room with the singer when you listen to high-quality hifi tracks the presence and sound stage will make you feel like you're right there with them. Regarding the mono speaker, don't listen to those who have criticized it, because most of them do not know what they are talking about or they are simply disagreeing with it because they don't like the idea. The speaker cannot be used in stereo mode by placing 2 speakers 3 inches apart as was done on the last model, and since it is a mono speaker, it separates just fine if not better than the last one, especially in the mids and In terms of volume, the speaker gets plenty loud for the average listener and manages to maintain almost full dynamics even at The speaker has a great sound quality when compared to others such as the charge 3, xb30, xb31, xb20, extreme, and However, what I've discovered is that while the highs may be lacking in certain songs, they certainly make up for it in other areas. In charge 4, the bass is excellent. Low-frequency music can be represented accurately, and this speaker is capable of hitting frequencies most portable speakers of this size cannot (see Figure 20). But, it's worth noting that there is no subscription available. Despite its ability to reproduce low frequencies, this speaker has trouble reproducing them. In the beginning, the radiators start shaking because they make no music. For anyone unfamiliar with that (this does not sound very nice). As for the battery life of this speaker, I was able to get 9 hours on 60 percent volume, which isn't bad but is very low compared to the advertised 20 hours. I have grown to like this speaker after comparing it with other speakers and I have become attached to it. You shouldn't take the critics in this review too seriously as I'm not sure most people are even half as critical as I am when it comes to audio, but this one gets an "A. " from me. There will definitely be a need for a tweeter in the future, as well as a larger.

There is no user EQ for mono, directional recordings The delay in upgrading to charge 4 caused me to hold off on buying one of these speakers
3/5

My UE Megablast has truly exceeded my expectations and was not much more expensive than my previous model. However, I suffer from the following There is no user preference option for EQ settings on this headset, and it is not Bluetooth enabled. After careful consideration, I found that a stereo speaker that had speakers on many sides and one with user-set EQ was the right choice YouTube videos could also be watched with this app. There will be a lag on this speaker, but some speakers don't. I don't mean to sound negative, the speaker does sound good and the bass is good at low volumes, but for the reasons I mentioned above, I didn't enjoy using it. It is my belief that there are significantly better options available around the price range.

I love my new BT speaker
5/5

In my opinion, this JBL Charge 4 portable speaker is the most powerful speaker I have ever owned. It's almost hard to believe that such a small portable speaker can pump out this much sound. I think it is amazing for a portable speaker while the bass is good, it does not rock the house. As a result, the highs could be better, but I don't mind it much since this will primarily be used outside and in the garage, since we have dedicated speakers inside the house. Furthermore, I think that the capability to connect to an external device and play music from it also makes it a great feature. The battery life is also great (I haven't depleted the Also, I would like to recommend a solid carrying case for the speaker as well. It has plenty of room for the Charge 4 plus charging cables. It's well made, has a sturdy outer shell, and a excellent price. A must have for transporting and storing The portable speaker is great!.

Charger4 could be improved by JBL but nope they do not
3/5

I am sorry that JBL reduced the sound quality on the charger 4 adding only one speaker to give a Sadly MONO sound unlike the charger 3 that has two speakers and to make it even worse does not come with a wall charger. I hope JBL does better on the charger 5.

The sound quality is great
5/5

There is a lot of color in this song. The JBP Charge 4 is a great product. I have been using a JBL Flip 2 for the past couple of years, so I felt confident in the brand. Having a solid, durable feel in the hand, and a great sound quality, it makes for a great listening experience. I am impressed by the volume. The result is that I can run it at about four out of ten on my bike and it's seriously intense. You won't find this in a studio, but if you're looking for something to take on your bike, to a picnic, to a hike in the woods, or to use in the workshop, it may be for you. I am very pleased with this speaker, and I strongly recommend it.

I love the sound! It will be interesting to see how long this The quality of the build is outstanding
4/5


This is a great Connects automatically when you walk out of range and back in range after some time. You will only see the charge level when you turn on the battery indicator for the first time. Once your battery has been drained, you can pause, play, or change tracks to view the As soon as you have surpassed a certain level of sound volume, the sound profile changes automatically. Those who don't pay attention probably won't notice. But I'm sure it's protecting itself by doing this. There is plenty of bass to be found. You can adjust the rest of the audio range by adjusting your music application's volume. Initially, I think things are looking good. It will be interesting to see how long this It is necessary to use a GPS location for the JBL app. In other words, they are data miners. The JBL app is not to be used!.
