Product Manuals
Q: How to connect JBL charger 4 to my TV which does not have bluetooth
A: You can connect the Charge 4 to your TV only through the 3.5mm jack if no bluetooth connection is available for your Tv.
A: Hi there, our JBL Charge 4 can be played while charging and when unplugged, has a playtime of up to 20 hours. For more information, please submit a case request so we can assist you: https://support.jbl.com/us/en/customer-service/contact.html
Q: Can the bass be adjusted on the Charge 4 and the JBL Flip 4? Not a fan of too much bass.
A: Hold the volume - button and the Bluetooth button @ the same time for like 10seconds
Q: If you connect 2 charge 4 speakers, is there a stereo effect?
A: It should but it doesn't According to the specs it should play stereo. But the truth is that it's only possible if you use the JBL Connect app which keeps continuously interrupting music. I have 2 identical Charge 4. Check below my tests results. TEST 1: Pairing them using the connect+ button on each speaker device they DON'T play stereo. They both play L and R channels simultaneously. So no way to play stereo without the app. Actually it's written in the manual that stereo feature comes from the app. TEST 2: Pairing them using JBL Connect app. One plays L and the other plays R channel as expected. BUT the music doesn't go directly from the player app that I use (Spotify or Soundcloud in my case), but it goes through JBL Connect app which splits L & R channels. It means it doesn't keep stereo setup when JBL app is closed, in that case you loose the stereo setup. Apart there is the PROBLEM with the music that is constantly interrupted. You can't even move yourself or even worst move a finger. I detected that the problem of interruptions in music when moving yourself is owing to that both speakers are connected to my player device (my phone in plane mode, just bluetooth on), because after pairing using the app both have bluetooth light on. Mobile managing 2 speakers at once makes bluetooth unstable. That is not happening when pairing from the speakers' connect+ button, this way only 1 is connected via bluetooth to the player device (my phone), the other is connected via internal bluetooth channel on the speakers, same that if you play music using jack input without any bluetooth device. It pairs via internal bluetooth which is transparent to the user. I'm happy with the sound, but a bit unhappy with the lack of stereo without been forced to use a third app. Hope to be of help.
Q: I own a jbl flip 5 with party boost , can I pair it with a jbl charge 4?
A: Unfortunately, you cannot pair your JBL Charge 4 to the Flip 5. Because of technology limitations, our Connect+ enabled speakers are not compatible with our PartyBoost speakers. As Bluetooth technology improves, so do our portable products. The new PartyBoost feature allows you to connect hundreds of other PartyBoost enabled speakers and contains a more powerful Bluetooth transmitter, which allows you to play multiple speakers further apart from each other. For more information on our new PatryBoost products, please reach out to us here: https://www.jbl.com/support-contact.html.
Q: does the charge 4 have an input that will accept no bluetooth iPods and such?
A: Yes, this speaker has a 3.5 mm input for connecting without Bluetooth.
Q: Can you pair two charge 4 speakers with Bluetooth?
A: Hi! Yes you can pair the Charge 4 with multiple speakers with the same Connect+ feature.
Q: Does the Jbl Charge 4 have more Bass then the Jbl Charge 3 ????
A: Yes, this speaker does have higher bass than JBL charge 3.
