I have been waiting pulse 4 but maybe i'm going to buy pulse 3, because cheaper price and better sound. Pulse 4 is only more lights but pulse 3 still looks good.

If you want to only connect connect plus speakers together and don't plan on getting another jbl speaker with connect plus, get the pulse 3, but if you are thinking of getting another jbl speaker on the future, get the pulse 4 because it has USB type- c charging and party boost, which is not compatible with jbl connect plus speakers, only partyboost compatible speakers. If you are not gonna get a newer jbl speaker get the pulse 3, but if you want type-c charging and future proofing with partyboost get the pulse 4.
I wish JBL would make a Pulse Boombox.

In my ears and wearing headphones my opinions is : You can clearly notice the bass difference between them , pulse 3 has better bass . But pulse 4 has more clear sound because the speaker is on top . if i had to choose, i would go for pulse 4 . I dont mind losing a little bass because im getting clearer 360 sound and better rgb lighting formation .

The pulse 3 sounds better from what I can hear in this video.
There is a lot of bass reduction on the pulse 4 on max volume and kinda harsh on trebles
The Pulse 4 has boosted highs, but the frequenzy range is less compared to the Pulse 3. an 57mm driver = 12000-14000hz highest. For some people already unnoticeable.
I dont like the pulse 4's off setting idk man i think when the pulse 3 is turned off the pulse 3 has this black screen instead of a blurry white plastic screen behind. That makes the pulse 3 look more professional even when its turned off. Not only that but the pulse 3 has better sound quality and it has speakers at not only the top and bottom sides of the cylinder but also around it, making sounds far better distributed.
Pulse 3 is better :-D

Awesome vid. Love the side by side comparison for sound between the two. A very professionally made video 👍
Pulse 3 Sounds bigger
I wish you've added pulse 2 to comparison as a reference.
The Pulse 3 still got more of bassy sound than the pulse 4
I don't trust anyone who touches a passive radiator like that 😂
Hi, can you please use the song "it's now or never" more often in your sound battles? It helps a lot to understand the sound difference, because it requires good treble and good bass at the same time. I'd be glad if you'll do this😀
Im not a fan of light speakers but this new jbl pulse looks AMAZING.

The Pulse 3 is better looking in my opinion, not a fan of the black bars of the Pulse 4 even tho the whole speaker is a lamp.
Nice comparison . Jbl should make a light device that reacts to external sounds and music via built in microphone or vibrations sensor. Most are buying for lights anyway and most have other speakers that sound better.

Imho the p4 has alot of room for improvement both in looks and in substance. The black edge, the connectors being at an awful place, the single driver and single reflector, even the lightshow is dull looking at it through that dark edge. The mids and highs are better but that can be irritating in most songs adding hissing. 3 drivers with 2x double bass transducers and 2x double bass relectors places the p3 as a different animal but have to admit in some cases p4 sounded better, amazing sound enginnering. Waiting for the p5 before retiring my p3.

Thanks for another great review! Although it looks good, it still doesn't warrant buying the Pulse 4, if you have, and like your Pulse 3! The virtually incompatible Party connection, with the older speakers, is a minus, until they come out with the next wave of compatible speakers!

Great vid loved the sound comparison
The Pulse 4 forgot the mids in the factory, damn does it sound muffled
yea i prefer pulse 3 i think pulse 4 only has one driver on the top whereas pulse 3 has 3 drivers which makes it more clearer sound.
No connect plus no thanks. They either need backwards compatibility or updates for all for party boost. The sound is going backwards like how jbl use to be. Focusing on clarity with no bass. You need bass jbl. Hear pounding earth shaking bass. The Pulse 3 was borderline missing bass now they have completely no bass. It sounds like a flip 5. Compare it to a flip 5.

Quality wise, economy wise. Id put my money on Pulse 3, maaan, this is a desperate move for JBL. They should’ve waited longer for the pulse series to upgrade. Pulse 3 is still better its not that obsolete
I think the JBL Pulse 4 lights is not fully glow to the top of the speaker, I saw video people open their pulse 3 and pulse 4, the length of the led strip of both if these are nearly the same, but pulse 4 is shorter and it has plastic thing that absorb some light at the top to make it glow a little bit to the top, maybe pulse 5 can fix that by using some mirror reflecting system to maintain the full glowing effect of the entire pulse body, nice review, still thinking to get either one of these, lights or sound,,,,, personally an audiophile and a violinist, also got a xtreme 1 and xb30.

I know that it says that you can shake the Pulse 4 to sync your light show with one or many pulse 4s, but will they actually sync up completely or will it just go to the same mode as if you scrolled through with the light mode button until you got on the same mode as the original Pulse that you are trying to connect to? For instance, if you were to put 2 or 4 of them right next to each other and you synced the light show, would it actually look like one blob of light going up and down or would the light go up and down at slightly different moments between the connected pulse 4s? Hopefully this question makes sense. Thanks
Great video! Thank you :)
Definitely notice the difference in them pulse 4 is more up to date sane way there doing phones now loosing the thick round about bezels but the 4 has Definitely improved sound ways aswell doesn't sound as much distortion in it than the pulse 3 at 60% there you heard it!

the guitar sound is more clear in the pulse 3. I like the pulse 3
I’m trying to decide right now if I should get the pulse 3 or 4. Are we able to pair them with other jbl speakers?
4 sounds crisper but 3 sounds louder and a little muffled. What should I get? Quality over loudness? Or loudness...
Still pulse 3 for me
Sound quality goes to pulse 3 but the lightning effect goes to pulse 4 ... But for me the over all quality goes to pulse 2 was still the best .... 🤟
Should I go with pulse 3 as it is cheaper and gives light effect and sound as good as pulse 4.. is it worth spending extra money on 4 if I am not into the looks of speaker
