The various audio and tech geeks who have carefully listened to the Flip 4 gave it generally high marks for even performance and strong volume. This is true for JBL speakers themselves in fact the JBL Flip 4 was widely seen as an improvement over the Flip 3, but the JBL Charge 3 was often panned by critics for not sounding as good as the model prior, the JBL Charge 2+.

It’s never a sure thing that an upgrade will sound better than the model that preceded it. IPX7 waterproof (can be completely submerged for 30 minutes with no dammage)

Larger battery and updated charging port to USB-C.Slightly bigger, better bass, and more volume.Crisp, even performance in mids and highs.One of the best-sounding, cheap, waterproof, cylindrical portable speakers.However, it doesn't offer the same dustproof rating (the second number in the IP rating refers to the dustproof rating) and presumably has different drivers. On the surface anyway, the Charge 4 has similar specs, with 20 hours of battery life and an IPX7 water-resistance rating. I won't be able to tell you how much better the Charge 5 sounds than the Charge 4 or Flip 5 until I get my hands on a review sample. The significantly larger JBL Extreme 3 ($350) is the step-up model from the Charge 5. If the past is any indication, this iteration of the Charge will sound fuller than JBL's more compact and less expensive Flip 5 Bluetooth speaker, which is currently available for $100.

This model also equipped with JBL's PartyBoost feature that allows you to connect it to other compatible JBL portable speakers to augment their sound. Battery life is rated at 20 hours at moderate volume levels and you can charge a device while your music is playing, though that will cut into the battery life of the speaker. The wireless speaker, which features a built-in USB charging port for juicing up your mobile devices, is set to ship in April for $180 (£160) in six color options: black, blue, gray, red, teal and "squad" (which looks like a kind of camo).Īccording to JBL, the speaker comes with a "racetrack-shaped driver," with a separate tweeter and dual passive radiators, which help improve both clarity and bass performance over the Charge 4. JBL has a new Charge Bluetooth speaker for 2021 - the Charge 5 - that the company says offers improved audio and an elevated dustproof and waterproof design.
