If you are looking for a speaker to take out on your bike, camping, on a picnic, out in the woods or in the workshop, then this speaker is definitely a good investment. When it comes to price, they retail at the same cost on both Amazon and JBL’s official store. The Charge 5 is slightly louder according to earlier reviewers. The charge 5 also got IP67 water and dust resistance rating up from just IPX7 water resistance only on the charge 4.
#JBL CHARGE 4 VS JBL CHARGE 5 BLUETOOTH#
Bluetooth standard was also updated from 4.2 to 5.1. The JBL Charge 5 doesn’t have a 3.5mm audio jack aux input port. Frankly, there’s isn’t much noticeable differences between these two speakers.
The next iteration of this speaker is already out and you might be wondering whether you should buy the JBL Charge 5 instead of the Charge 4.
Some reviewers complain that this speaker doesn’t really hit the highs well, so maybe you can look at the JBL Boombox 2 or JBL Xtreme. This speaker can get pretty loud when you max the volume although it won’t really rock the entire house or neighborhood. There isn’t much distortion in the sound even when you hit the highs. The lows and mids are totally accurate and clear.
#JBL CHARGE 4 VS JBL CHARGE 5 PORTABLE#
Looking for a portable mid-range speaker with deep bass, then the JBL Charge 4 could be the right choice. It has 4 LED battery indicators that shows your charge level when you first turn it on. The speaker can also act as a external portable power bank for your devices through a USB-A output port. It’s recharged via a more modern USB-C port. This speaker comes with a considerably big 7500mAh rechargeable battery that promises upto 20 hours of music playback time. It also has no speakerphone so you can’t answer calls with the speaker. It has no Voice Assistant integration such as Google Assistant or Siri or Alexa. This speaker supports JBL connect+ which is a way of wirelessly linking more than 100 JBL connect+ enabled speakers together for amplified sound. It also has a 3.5mm audio port that you can use to connect to the audio jack supported devices such as headphones. It’s powered by USB-C port, has a USB-A output port which you can use to charge your other devices thanks to the 7500mAh battery. It automatically reconnects to the last device it connected with. You can connect upto 2 smartphones or tablets to the speaker and take turns playing music. Pairing with my smartphone was really fast. This speaker supports Bluetooth 4.2 which is a little dated. A few splashes of water drops won’t damage it. The speaker is IPX7 waterproof, so you can take it with you outdoors. Passive radiators are included in either sides of the speaker. You have volume up/down buttons, pause playback button, connect+ button, Bluetooth on/off and power on/off button at the center. On the top are control buttons for playback and powering the speaker. On the sides, it has soft grey rubber covers wrapping around the fabric material giving an overall durable feeling. It’s built with durable fabric material meshed together like a net. The unit I have comes in black(as always). It’s cylindrical in shape, but sits horizontally on a flat surface. This speaker comes in a myriad of colors including red, grey, white, yellow as more. The JBL Charge 4 checks out most of these boxes starting from the design. When I am buying a new portable speaker, I consider a number of things including good battery life, good connectivity options, good bass and ruggedness. I am fun of portable speakers and I have used the Anker Soundcore on the low-end, the Sony SRS-X55 on the mid-range and now the JBL Charge 4.
