On Jay-Z and Kanye West's "No Church in the Wild," the kick drum loop receives the ideal amount of high-mid presence, allowing its attack to retain its punchiness.

Callahan's baritone vocals also receive a solid low-mid richness, while the higher register percussive hits and acoustic strumming get enough high-mid presence to keep the sound balanced.

The drums on this track get some extra depth through the Charge 4 without sounding thunderous. The highs are sculpted and boosted a bit to match and balance the lows, meaning that, between the sculpting, boosting, and mono delivery, this isn't an ideal speaker for purists.īill Callahan's "Drover," a track with far less deep bass in the mix, gives a better sense of the Charge 4's general sound signature. It sounds like the Charge 4 is packing a larger woofer than it is-maybe not a subwoofer, but definitely a capable low-frequency driver. On tracks with intense sub-bass content, like The Knife's "Silent Shout," the Charge 4 doesn't disappoint, delivering powerful deep bass response cleanly and clearly, even at top volumes (and the speaker can get quite loud for its size). JBL estimates the Charge 4's battery life to be about 20 hours, but your results will vary with your volume levels and your mix of wired and wireless usage. It's common for larger Bluetooth speakers to not have phone functionality, but the Charge 4 is sort of an in-between size, and this feels like an omission. The Charge 4 lacks a speakerphone function, so all calls will need to be fielded on your mobile device. There's also a JBL Connect+ button for linking to various other compatible JBL wireless speakers-you can chain together more than 100 speakers to play the same audio. Oddly, there's no backward track navigation function.

Going with a single, higher-quality driver provides a better overall audio experience, albeit mono.Īcross the top, there's a control panel housing buttons for Power, Pairing, and Volume Up/Down, as well as a Play/Pause button that, when pressed twice, skips forward a track.

Some may fault the decision to go mono when there's enough room for dual drivers here, but you wouldn't hear the separation dual drivers would provide unless you pressed your head right against the speaker grille. The side-firing passive radiators help push out a greater sense of bass depth, and the system outputs 30 watts of audio and a frequency range of 60Hz to 20KHz. Underneath, the Charge 4 employs a racetrack-style driver, measuring 1.9 by 3.5 inches and delivering mono audio. The front face of the speaker is mostly a cloth-and-metallic grille. In fact, the Charge 4 can be submerged up to 1 meter for about 30 minutes, making it an ideal poolside companion, or simply a great splash-proof, rainproof option. The speaker has an IPX7 rating, meaning it has an unspecified level of dust-ingress protection and is fully waterproof. The cylindrical 3.7-by-8.6-by-3.7-inch (HWD), 2.1-pound Charge 4 is available in a multitude of colors-10 in all, including mustard yellow and teal, as well as more standard black or red models. The JBL Charge 4, like its predecessor, wins our Editors' Choice award. The only two bummers are the lack of a speakerphone function and that the speaker is mono (this is forgivable, though, since the size would prevent true stereo separation anyway). The bass depth here is also impressive, thanks mostly to dual passive radiators that add richness and thump. With a waterproof design, the speaker outputs huge sound for its size, and it's small enough to be thrown in a tote. The previous iteration of the Charge was a hit, and the JBL Charge 4 ($179.95) is not dropping the baton.
