![]() ![]() I always find myself turning off the speaker for an incoming call and using the handset anyway. They never work properly, the sound is poor and you get better results using your phone. Personally, I hate speakerphones on Bluetooth speakers. One thing JBL has done away with is the speakerphone and built-in microphone for voice commands. Having said that, the Charge 4 connectivity is excellent. This is Bluetooth 4.2 which is disappointing since the latest version available is 5.0. Better for the environment! Bluetooth 4.2Īpart from the physical connections, the JBL Charge 4 also connects via Bluetooth. ![]() If anything, it cuts down on more waste from having multiple USB wall plugs lying around the house. Just an FYI, JBL only supplies the USB-C charging cable with the Charge 4 and not a wall plug.Īs you can use the same wall plug adapter as your mobile phone, I don’t see this as being a big issue. The output for the power bank is USB-A which is still standard for wall plugs. Most mobile devices are switching from micro-USB to USB-C which makes sense why JBL has chosen to do the same. The AC input is now USB-C which promises faster charging. Here you’ll find a ⅛-inch AUX input, AC input, and USB-C output which acts as a power bank for charging external mobile devices.

One thing the Charge 4 has retained from the Charge 3 is the IPX7 waterproof rating which protects the speaker in water up to 1 meter (or 3.2 feet) for a period of 30 minutes. The Charge 4 is covered in a rubberized mesh material that offers durability and waterproof protection. ![]() If there’s one feature that has remained constant through the JBL Charge series it’s aesthetics. Let’s take an in-depth look at the JBL Charge 4 and whether or not it’s the speaker for you. However, when we look into the features and sound, the Charge 4 has many improvements over its predecessor. In terms of size and aesthetics, not much has changed. The JBL Charge 3 was an awesome Bluetooth speaker that won praise from online publications and received thousands of 5-star reviews, so it’s hard to imagine what could be improved. The JBL Charge is one of the more popular series of Bluetooth speakers on the market – with the Charge 4 being the latest installment.
