Well balanced sound
I bought the charge 4 along with a charge 3 on black Friday to see for myself which one sounded better. If the charge 3 sounded better, like some claim, I didn't want to pass up the deal for $89. I'm sending back the charge 3 and keeping the charge 4. Side by side the charge 4 has more bass and a cleaner more lifelike sound. I compared many songs and types of music, hands down the charge 4 wins. The charge three had almost no bass compared to the charge 4 and the charge 3 has too much sound in the mid high area of frequency range, not well balanced. I wanted the charge 3 to sound close to what the charge 4 did that way I would keep it, at such a great deal, and have two speakers to play together with the JBL connect plus.

Something I think the developers should work on
Hello fellow JBL charge 4 owners (and hopefully developers). I just thought I would mention that this product is not at all able to play low bass and low volume. One might experience this while time to play the song "Time" by Hans Zimmer. I know the begin of the song is very soft and the volume low, however I cannot hear anything except static for the first 45 seconds of the song. Might I remind you that this is at minimum volume. Like another push of the minus volume button and it is mute. This product handles loud music and bass very well at higher volumes, but it cannot even play lower volume music. Thank you for taking the time to read this

Good overall sound for such a small package
Pleasantly surprised. I like big sound. It does not provide the big bass outdoors, but it fills the room adequately inside. I have the Boombox that fills the need for the outdoors. The sound quality of the Charge 4 is really clear with good mids and highs. It is actually a little too loud at night on the lowest volume setting when trying to go to sleep — NOT a problem at all because I just use the iPhone speakers. I have 2 old Xtremes. I was considering getting an Xtreme 2 to complete my connect + pairings, but I will get another Charge 4 instead (though I don’t really need it). Now the old Xtremes serve me little purpose - that absolute SUCK JBL.

Awesome Speaker!!!
If you already own the jbl charge 3 I wouldn’t say it is worth upgrading because there mainly just small minor tweaks to the charge 4 coming from the charge 3, the charge 4 does have a little bit more clarity as well as a little bit more bass, it’s very similar in volume to the charge 3 but slightly more refined, it now has usb type c charging which is nice future wise because it could support even faster charging, one gripe I have is the flap covering the port is looser than on the charge 3 and there is only one rubber ring that seals it off compared to the charge 3 having 2 of them, so far it hasn’t been a problem though and even if water does get through jbl seals off the other sides of the ports so no damage should occur just don’t try and use the ports if they are wet until they dry, I do absolutely love this speaker and glad I got it, I just wish they would have added a tweeter since it is a mono driver handling everything, if there was a tweeter jbl would have been able to not only make it even louder but allow more excursion without the sound getting fluttery, but I guess they will do that in the charge 5? Thank you jbl for making an amazing product!!! Deffinetly recommend!!!

Great design, but has a few flaws...
I am overall very disappointed, I had to buy and return two of these from Walmart until the third one I bought sounded a little better.. The problem is the right side passive radiator, at half volume and above it makes a rattling/thumping noise when the bass hits low. I own a Flip 3, Flip 4, and a few of my buddies have Charge 3's and none of the other speakers have this problem. I love Jbl in every way but this is downright disappointing. And not to mention it runs on one driver instead of two, on paper the specs look better but the charge 3 is cheaper and sounds a bit better.

Great on the go!
We are a huge JBL product supporter in our family. The Charge 4 seems the same as the charge 3 only a bit larger and it has a mono single speaker instead of a stereo dual speaker like the Charge 3. I probably prefer the smaller profile and better sound from the 3 but the 4 is still a perfect option for the beach and camping, etc. One improvement JBL can make overall is more power. The sound with any JBL product is always clean but it also feels like you should be getting a bit more power from all their products. Charge, Charge 3, Charge 4, Extreme2, Free Ear Buds... on another note JBL car audio subs are fantastic. quality built with plenty of power and reasonably priced.

BOOMY! JBL speaker with great features.
I am very impressed with the new JBL charge 4. The sound is clear and has more boomy base compared to the Charge 3, which I own also. The JBL charge 4 is a definite improvement with the louder base. Other improvements are that It does have a higher capacity battery (7500 mAh) than the charge 3 which is 6000 mAh and a type C charge for it, which to me is better and faster on charging. Also the JBL charge 4 is slightly bigger than the JBL charge 3. The speaker is waterproof (IPX7) and with the higher capacity battery makes an even better powerbank to charge your device while listening to music for a longer time . Just don't forget to download the JBL connect app to connect more than one JBL speaker and to keep up with any firmware updates. I have to honestly say the JBL Charge 4 is an improvement from the charge 3. When comparing the two with features and sound I choose the JBL charge 4.

Loud and bass is great
It's loud and bass is great you are definitely getting what you paid for. And that's why I'm giving it 5 stars. Its definitely not a JBL xtreme JBL soundbar or JBL boombox so dont go into this expecting the sound to be like that. However it has wowed me and I do believe I'll be getting a second pair so kudos to you JBL. Drawbacks are and maybe this could be used for when you make JBL charge 5 if that happens. The bass is great my question is will the bass top charge 4 when charge 5 comes out and will JBL charge 5 have 360 sound ,4 speakers two on the front two on the back maybe a bigger bass. However I really do love the charge 4, for one speaker it sure does get loud. Now question two JBL charge 4s can be hooked up and in stereo sound now let's say you hook up like 20 of these things together what will the bass sound like any comparison to the soundbars the. Just curious.

I just bought the charge 4 and I am trying to charge it. The third light is blinking and I have had it plugged in for almost 12 hours and it is still showing the same level of charge as it did when I first plugged it in this morning.
Thanks for reaching out, Kendra. Let's try to troubleshoot it by doing a reset with the speaker. While the speaker is on, press the Volume+ and Bluetooth button at the same time for 3-4 seconds until you hear the audible chime. After that, try charging it again. If the issue persists, please submit a case request and our Customer Support Team will be happy to assist you. https://www.jbl.com/support-contact.html

Hi I have a JBL CHARGE 4 and when the horn is turned off the battery indicator lights flash. It is normal? This happened when charging a cell phone and turning off the horn with the connected cell phone. regards
Hi there, the JBL Charge 4's battery LED's will flash since you're charging your phone to is and it's still using its battery for it.
