Customer Ratings & Reviews

I had some initial concerns about this having only 1 speaker, but despite that, it sounds amazing! It can fill a large room with music of any type and still sound good. Once you get past half volume, the lows don’t quite keep up, but that would be my only complaint. The battery life is fantastic, and while I have not used it to charge another device, it seems like it could handle that without much effort. Very happy with this Bluetooth speaker over some others that I’ve used.

good sound, color, easy to operate, good finish, the price was very good and it doesn't take up a lot of space.

I have a really big speaker that I used to use for camping. I picked up this one because I needed something smaller and more easily transportable. I am surprised how clear and great it sounds. It has a good amount of bass, but not crazy bassy. Better than others it's size. Took it camping for 2 nights, and used it regularly, stayed charged the whole time. I use it to work on the car in the garage. Great speaker. Very happy with purchase. It is worth the large price tag.

Great sound light weight long battery life easy to handle great reliability and connectivity Bluetooth is awesome JBL is the best

Bought this after trying and failing to get a Sonos One G2 to work properly and glad I bought it. Gives great sound through low to high audio range, with solid bass for a small Bluetooth speaker, with crisp and clear sound even at max volume. Found it will largely fill my dining and living rooms with ease. Can't speak to battery life as yet, because it remains plugged in on my sideboard all the time, but if it's like other JBL speakers I have, should be excellent.

Great bass, cristal clear vocals, water proof, portable, and rechargeable... PLUS A PHONE CHARGER!!! Cant beat it.

The sound quality and durability of this is AMAZING! It is easily transportable and I have tried it in several rooms including the bathroom while taking a shower and it continues to deliver quality sound. I even had it in my car to test it out and it passed with flying colors. I would recommend getting this product without hesitation. I like that it is water resistant and how easily it synchs up with my phone to play music.

I like the sound quality and size which makes it fairly easy to take with me. I have used it in my truck which does not have Bluetooth connectivity and taken it on vacation to the beach. Although my cell phone connected right away, it took several tries to get my wife's Mote e4 to connect to the charge 4. I do not know why but it eventually did and has continued to work well with it. It does not hold a charge for as long as advertised. Does anything? But the charge4 will easily last all day which is better than many other portable speakers, Although it comes with a cord for charging it did not come with a plug end for an outlet, so I use my cell phone charger plug to charge it.

Love this speaker. Great sound, great battery life and great volume, easy connectivity.

I'm a big JBL fan, and the Charge 4 didn't fail to live up to expectations. Favorite 5 5 features listed below: 1) Sound quality is great. I wasn't thrilled about the single driver (sound only comes out of the front of the speaker and off center), but everything still sounds loud and clear despite it. 2) IPX7 waterproofing makes this speaker great for outdoor fun or singing along to in the shower. 3) The JBL Connect feature is actually pretty cool! I have a JBL Flip 4 (included in pictures for size comparison) so I haven't been able to do stereo mode since you can apparently only do that with 2 of the same model speaker, but even just being able to extend the audio to multiple speakers is fun and great for parties. 4) The charging feature is handy. Haven't used it a ton, but it's nice to have as a backup when you don't have any outlets around (battery life overall for the speaker is great so sparing some charge for your phone shouldn't be an issue). 5) I love that this speaker uses a USB-C connection to charge, very forward-thinking of JBL, wish more companies were moving to this standard faster. Overall no complaints aside from the single driver thing, and I've found that it's not that big of a deal. I've paid more money for worse speakers in the past.

So far so good with the speaker! Very loud, very clear, easy to control. It was able to charge my phone and play music at the same time. I only wish it had google assistant on it to play the next track when I tell it to. However, you can still use your google assistant on your phone and control the music and volume through the speaker that way, but you cannot make calls. Overall a great bluetooth speaker!

I purchased the Charge 4 last month and so far have been very impressed with it. Great bass, great sound. The only concern I have with it, I think it would be very easy to lose the charging cable. It’s a separate cable but it does say JBL on the plug. I think what I’ll do is take a rubber band and attach the cable to the speaker with the rubber band. Easy to set up, good instructions.

Works great. This purchase was to upgrade our Charge 2+ that lasted for quite a few years before the battery started to lose the ability to hold a charge. It still works great too but needs to be plugged in after an hour of use. This Charge 4 has been used for about an hour each day and performs flawlessly. Nice rich bass tone and get's pretty loud if you crank it up. Connects quickly via bluetooth, too.

I love that this is so compact and the sound is clear. Easy to use and charge lasts.

The JBL charge 4 is a great product. I found it to be initially disappointing due to the warm sound signature. I have found that the highs aren’t totally accurate but they’re close enough to not distract you from the music. The highs are present but definitely aren’t strong which adds to the warm signature. The mids are very good and exceptionally clear for the size of this device. Because of this, the vocals are great in most songs. They are well represented unless they sneak up on the high notes which is when you can hear a slight distortion from accuracy. However, the vocals which dip into lower range sound really good as the speaker does a great job not to put too much emphasis on the radiators making it sound bassy and unrealistic. If you listen to high quality hifi tracks you’ll be able to imagine the singer right in front of you because of the presence and sound stage. As for the mono speaker, don’t listen to the critics of this new implementation because most of them either don’t know what they’re talking about or they are just picking at it because they don’t like the thought of it. You’re not going to get stereo by using 2 speakers 3 inches apart like on the last model and as for separation, this mono speaker separates just fine if not better than the last model especially in mid to lows. The speaker gets plenty loud for the average person and it manages to maintain its dynamics all the way to just under full volume. I’ve compared this speaker to many others such as charge 3, xb30, xb31, xb20, extreme, onyx... and what I’ve found is that while the highs are a bit lacking in certain songs it certainly makes up for it in other departments. The bass is very good in the charge 4. The bass notes are represented accurately and it’s able to hit lower frequencies most portable speakers of this size can’t (20). However, it’s worth mentioning it’s still no sub. This speaker has trouble representing very low frequencies. The radiators start shaking instead of making music which for those of you who don’t know (this doesn’t sound very good). The battery life of this speaker wasn’t as advertised and I found I could only get 9 hours on 60 percent volume which isn’t bad but is a huge deviation from the claimed 20 hours. After using this speaker for awhile and comparing it to other speakers, I’ve actually grown fond of this unit and it’s become my beach toy. Don’t take any critics in this review too seriously as I doubt most people are 50% as critical as me when it comes to audio but this one gets my thumbs up. Future improvements would definitely require a tweeter and possibly a bigger battery.

JBL is probably one of the best speakers you can buy. This Charge 4 delivers on sound quality and portability. With its waterproof features and 30 watts of power you can bring the party anywhere. Beach, pool, and rain no problem. Besides the ability and sound quality let's not forget the price. I ended up paying about $120 bucks for this speaker. Great price for a great product.

Small but powerful. Has a nice rugged case. Has a big sound with a decent Lo punch.

Purchased 2 for front and back. Amazing sound. Easy to use solo or in tandem

great sound lomg battery waterproof durable portable need i say anymore

I have the Charge 2 and the difference is apples to oranges. Bluetooth on the Charge 4 blows the Charge 2 out of the water. I usually use aux cables on the 2 but not with the 4. Don't sound as good so I let the Bluetooth run and batter is great! Lasts me at least 3 days on moderate use. This sounds very comparable to my big Vizio soundbar and hits hard!
