I bought this Bluetooth speaker after reading many professional reviews. I was not disappointed. The sound is excellent. It is very easy to use. I like that there's an app available so you are able to control your speaker through the use of your device.

A while back, we took a look at the JBL Charge 2 in a previous review . Fast forward to now and the Charge series of Bluetooth speakers from JBL have grown up a bit as we take a look at the latest iteration, the JBL Charge 4 .

USB to charge your phone; Big sound for its size; Very portable

No speakerphone; No voice assistant integration; Can't tune EQ

Amazing sound system, good quality, very appealing however it does say the speaker is water proof but I am not going to be testing that out as mixing electricity and water is not something I would do, whether it says water proof or not.

I bought this speaker as a replacement for my JBL charge 2. I was heading off on a narrow boat holiday and with many hours ahead of me on the tiller, I wanted a waterproof speaker with trusted sound, excellent battery life and the ability to charge my phone... thanks JBL...

When it comes to portable speakers , there are highly portable speakers like the JBL Clip 3 , and ones like these as well – Charge 4. JBL's Charge lineup is the one that has a built-in power-bank inside it. And that does come in handy sometimes. But what else does this speaker pack besides that

The produce is a great speaker, sound is great but it is advertised at office works for $10 cheaper than l purchased it for.

Great sound plus rugged design and handy features equals a top Bluetooth speaker

Rugged and water resistant; USB port for charging; Great sound quality

Perhaps too subtle for some

Despite cutting a couple of handy features, the Charge 4 is an impressive fourth entry into JBL’s mid-range Bluetooth speaker series

Rugged and waterproof; Impressive audio; Doubles up as a power bank

No speakerphone or voice assistant; Generation-specific multi-speaker pairing

A great companion for car camping, but not in situations where weight is a concern

Loud; long battery life; waterproof

Large and heavy
