While a single JBL Charge 4 isn’t going to blow your eardrums out while you’re outside, it’s definitely loud enough to fill a pool or back yard during a BBQ with great quality music. You’ll get best sound quality if you are facing the JBL logo, but the side-firing woofers seem to fill the space no matter which way they are pointed. Maybe in the future, though.Īlthough it is a tube, there is a directional aspect to the sound. I would love to be able to tune the Equalizer from the app, but that’s not a feature yet.

It may be tuned just slightly bass-heavy, but at medium volumes, I think it’s tuned just perfect for a very full and clear sound. The non-technical specs are that this speaker has fantastic low range response and is true to its rating. The technical specs are a 60Hz-20kHz with 30W RMS power rating. How so much sound can come out of such a little package is still shocking.

With a size profile that I would consider to be mid-sized in the Bluetooth speaker world, the acoustics of this speaker is best described as confusing…in a great way. On the other side of the flat bottom are 5 LEDs that show you the battery level. Behind that flat bottom is a watertight cover where you’ll find the charge ports and the 3.5mm audio cable input. There is a nice flat bottom that keeps the tube-shaped speaker from rolling away, or you can opt to listen vertically. That same rubberized coating makes up the buttons on the top that have a great subtle appearance. (We got the “Sand” color) The outer body of the speaker is wrapped with a rugged fabric and the areas likely to get banged around have a nice thick rubberized coating. The aesthetics of the JBL Charge 4 are also very nice with a classic speaker look but available in 12 color options. Splashes are no big deal and even dropping in for an occasional full dunk won’t phase the Charge 4. That translates to mean that this is perfect for a pool, beach or boat side setting. That means engineers have decided that the speaker is safe from “temporary immersion” in water up to 3 feet. What drew me to the JBL Charge 4 design is the fact that it is designed to be IPX7 waterproof. It’s worth pointing out that compared to the Charge 2, the speakerphone ability has been removed in the JBL Charge 4 so this is just a music device and no longer able to take phone calls.

Perhaps an even cooler way to use JBL Connect+ is that in the app you can set up 2 matching speakers to work in a Left/Right stereo mode and achieve a very impressive sound experience using portable Bluetooth speakers. This can be done by pressing the onboard button or in the app you can also manage your party mode.

If a party setting is what you are looking for, the JBL Connect+ feature lets you connect more than 100 JBL speakers together for a synchronized listening experience.

Once connected, there is also a JBL app that can be installed to show you some basic information like battery level and also to install any firmware updates that JBL may push out.

I do love this feature because it makes the speaker a double-duty device and who doesn’t love a good 2-fer.įrom a Bluetooth point of view, the Charge 4 uses Bluetooth 4.2 which means that 2 phones can connect at the same time so you can take turns playing your favorite song without the downtime of trying to hand off a connection. This means that when your music is playing, your phone can stay topped off and you don’t have to worry about killing your phone while listening to music. The defining feature of the JBL Charge 4 is the built-in USB charging port that taps into the speakers built-in 7500mAH rechargeable battery.
