JBL Charge 4 Review - The Best Speaker For The Price?
Buy On Amazon (JBL Charge 4): amzn.to/2LxKjxZ
What’s going on guys, it’s Gino from Modern Accessory review, and today we are talking about the JBL Charge 4. This speaker was released in August 30, 2018 and quickly gained a ton of popularity. I personally bought it for $160 because I believe the best review should be from someone who has personal experience with the product. If you are interested in checking today's updated pricing I put a link in the description above that leads to what Amazon is offering today. I am here to help you find the best product for yourself, so is the JBL Charge 4 right for you? Let’s find out in the review.

We had a 1st gen Echo in our master bathroom for listening to music in the morning kzread.infoUgkxABghAEkaIDGZfHRBH3D3rBrlraNmnC71 and while in the shower. I didn't realize how tinny and awful the sound output on the original Echo was until we replaced it with the Studio. It was a sonic upgrade far beyond what I was expecting. Just wow. I love it because it's like having speakers IN the shower. My friend likes it because the music is so loud that she can no longer hear me singing. So that's a win-win.
I got one for my birthday. I love it. Everytime i am playing my speaker people ask me reviews on it

I just bought 3 of them, my nephew got on for christmas and i was very impressed of the sound and bass quality of this thing. So i just bought one for me and the other 2 for my sisters :).
Heard a guy at my work playing one of these the other day. I bought a UE Boom a few days prior. Just returned it and picked the charge 4 up. Amazing!!
I bought 1 in May n I love it. Take it everywhere with me. I carry it in my backpack n listen to it. I want to buy the next bigger one
I heard some music being played across the warehouse were I work, I thought it was coming from a highfi system, the sound and bass sounded massive. I was shocked when I found out it was this little thing. I gonna treat myself to one for Christmas to take on holiday next year,, if COVID allows.

I was able to experience the capabilities of this speaker when I heard someone play it and I'll treat myself to one of these ASAP. The bass was powerful and so is the midrange and it was being played outdoors and to my surprise, it only has one oval main driver!
Excellent review. The Extreme 2 has 2 midrange drivers + 2 tweeters. The Charge 4 has just one driver, yet it can compete against it. At times it even sounds better. Extraordinary!!!
Great review

Sounds amazing, I have decided to buy myself this speaker as a treat for my new Job title. Audiophiles understand the value of sound, nothing beats lighting up a Joint and listening to quality soundscapes. I just hope it's durable enough to keep for years. I dropped my Harmon Kardon onyx years ago, it was never the same. The JBL onyx is still the best speaker I have owned. I'm hoping the charge 4 blows me away.
Sounds just fine to me 🔊🎶✌🏻
Great review Thanks Christmas 2020 👍
I have red one ..Best quality.Awesome sounds
I got it yesterday and i love it so much it Sounds so Good and ist has a lot of bass
I really want a BoomBox, but went for this one as a smaller carry around. I hope it lives up with my expectations. 🤞🏻❤️

Almost a perfect review! What is the song you play from 4 minutes onwards to test the sound? And can this speaker be run on electricity permanently? I want to just place on a table in the kitchen most of the time. And if it is on most of the time, I will have to eventually keep it plugged in. A bizarre question, but will the battery be affected in the short term or the long term? I have watched so many reviews about all the JBL speakers as well as from other brands, but absolutely NO ONE talks about what will eventually happen to these lithium batteries. And I am surprised hardly anyone asks... Surely that’s a tech’ factor which should be mentioned just like the Db, watts output and signal ratio? I mean, we are comparing products and helping the brand sell more without knowing exactly what we are getting! Just look at Bose and Apple for example...

Mine has been thrown around and knocked around from being on my bike, never had any issues with this speaker so far.
I have a charge 4 and I like how durable it is one time I went to play some music outside with it, and my brother had the audacity to just pick it up and throw it as far as he could but I was really happy because it survived so yeah that’s how truly durable the JBL charge 4 is I’m impressed
I was wondering if this would be loud enough to put inside my backbag while driving around in a 50cc scooter, would it be loud enough?
How is it compared to Blaupunkt Volcano 40?

Louis Vuitton I have one of my sisters own the JBL FLIP 3, when I played music on it the very 1st time (like 5 yrs ago), I couldn’t believe such quality of sound to hear out of a little handy speaker! The most incredible part with it, it has those 2 side radiators that improve the bass sound of it, since that time I fell in love with JBL speakers but never had a firm decision to buy one, Until 2 days ago, my elder sister comes to visit us and I saw her JBL Charge 4, I tried it and it feels like your in a nightclub! so I went over eBay and ordered one for $110 only from USA seller, brand new. In stores, they go simply $150 or more

Isabella Arenas Buy you one from eBay!!!!! I personally ordered one like 2 days ago for $110 ONLY and it’s BRAND NEW 🔥 I’m in Michigan, and it ships from USA/Florida so it gonna take only about 6 days to have it, it’s the best deal I could find on eBay for a Brand New item, also amazon have them but at least $150, here’s the link of the seller’s page on eBay: ebay.com/usr/thegreatdealz16 Tip: if the listing shows “Make offer” or “or best offer” use that for your advantage! Enjoy 😉
The charge 5 is coming Next year but I have the flip 5 right now but I feel like I should have went with the charge 4 with 20 dollars more idk if it is worth the upgrade I love my flip5 but I want somthing a bit louder and better idk if this is better
Good choice of music
a question ? can i hear music using the fast driver in the USB spot yes o not . please
Omg i see where is the charger now when it first i always find charger for jbl charge 4 and i thinking what is in the side and i just ignore and when i look at this its help me thank you!
Is it just mine or does the charge 4 not charge using a type c to type c charger cable or fast charger type c brick I notice that it only charges with a usb cable that it comes with it’s a 2.0 to type c cable
I think flip 5 still my favorite!

It's good until you play rock or metal. Which is what I listen to 90% of the time, with double bass it vibrates all over the place. I bought a Jam Heavy Metal speaker and it's rivals this or any Bose and it was only around $50, actually made of metal/body/grill etc. This one is GREAT for R & B, etc. My father has the 3...same thing.
It’s ok, it’s good if you need a reasonable priced speaker that’s durable e.g for camping trips

I have the revolve plus and the charge 4. The revolve has better overall range, better midrange, more volume and cover the sound in 360°, It´s a matter of taste but I prefer the design of the revolve plus. However the charge 4 it´s outstanding with that price range, better mid range than charge 3, better battery tahn revolve plus and is water resistant, so go that charge 4 without hesitation. If money is not problem and you aren´t going to use outside frequently, deffinitely go for the revolve plus. Every brand has it´s own pros and cons. Sony announce this month (MAY 2020) their new srs xb 03 series of speakers with a new type of driver of cellular cones on the driver but the design are ugly >_
