Those who buy the Charge 4 expecting big bombastic bass based on its looks, may not find what they are after. That’s an excellent characteristic to help render vocals lines realistically, and project them properly in the mix. There’s an unusual consistency of substance and texture throughout the mids and treble, and better than average clarity to the midrange. The JBL Charge 4’s sound is classy and surprisingly refined for a mainstream speaker. It may make a good marketing video, but won’t be of much use unless you can get your hands on multiple JBL speakers. Connect+ lets up to 100 JBL speakers hook up to play the same song.
The most advanced feature is the one you are least likely to use. There’s no wi-fi, no native support for digital smart assistants or proper multi-room functionality.

The JBL Charge 4 has Bluetooth and click button controls built into its top. This is still a fairly simple speaker, though. A rugged design, excellent battery life and ‘battery sharing’ make this a near-perfect speaker for camping holidays, long days at the beach and use at home.
Like the last generation, you can also use the JBL Charge 4 to charge your phone or tablet – in fact anything that will charge over USB from a 5V supply. A handy white LED indicator on the front shows the battery level. This means you can use it at a higher volume without sacrificing longevity so much. However, battery capacity has actually been substantially increased, from 6000mAh to 7500mAh. The Charge 4 has the same claimed battery life as the Charge 3, at 20 hours. As long as the chunky connection port cover on the back is sealed, water resistance doesn’t get much better. “Take Charge 4 to the beach or the pool without worrying about spills or even submersion in water,” it says. Unlike similarly water resistant phones, JBL claims that the speaker is suitable for environments with chlorinated or salty water. IPX7 water resistance means the Charge 4 can handle being submerged in water to a depth of 1.5m.
