@Al Castill Guys Guys. Mid tones. Mhmmmm..... bud I think u mean the charge 3 hes mids are muffled. And overall a mono speaker is most likely the same as a stereo only it uses one may sound less roomed then stereo. But it does sounds louder and has more bass see why would a speaker jbl charge 3 20 watt perform better with a 6000 mah battery pack Lithium ion then a charge 4 with 30 watts and 7500 battery pack lithium ion cuz u'r saying that cuz u have the charge 3 yourself overall the newer product performs better
mathice yeah the charge4 is only on 60% volume louder in the video but on 100% volume pick up the charge3 again I think I will not take either of them I take the JBL xtreme there you have all in one speaker bass and volume and it's cheaper than buying 2 speakers now
When listening on the headphones the charge 4 sounds like it has better deeper base but only slightly than the 3. I still love my 3 and won't be upgrading anymore. If you don't have the 3 I think the charge 4 is a great speaker
So I've listened to this several times on a pair of Event 20/20 active studio monitors, and also Sennheiser HD 25-1 II studio headphones. My takeaway is that the larger, single mono driver in the Charge 4 reproduces the audio more effortlessly and with much less distortion - especially at higher volumes - making it cleaner and more accurate overall. It also achieves noticeably better frequency separation. _However,_ the stereo drivers in the Charge 3 _do_ in fact make a difference, even if they're too close together to really notice the separation in a room. The Charge 3 is more likely to distort - especially in the treble range at high volume - but it doesn't have the "stark" or "naked" sound you get from a mono sound source. _It's important to remember: stereo music is mixed with the intention of being stereo, so it's not so cut-and-dry that the Charge 4 is more accurate to the overall listening experience._ In short, the Charge 4 "sounds" better, but the Charge 3 seems to "feel" better. Hard choice! Thanks for the great video.
Which one would u think would sound better when riding around on a 150 cc scooter? I got the Bose Soundlink micro but I’ve been unsure if I want to keep it. I can hear music on it but if there’s better well I would want to get the better obv. Keep trying to decide on the charge 3/4, the Bose Soundlink color 2 or just keeping the Soundlink micro I have
@@eloknu That's pretty hard to say... I just decided ultimately to go with the Anker Soundcore Motion + and it's really really nice, with a customizable 9-band EQ in the app. Not sure if that's best for the scooter sitch unless you could fasten it to the handlebars or something.
RYO-kai my Bose micro I keep in the mesh part of my bag and it works well. Clear & the bass sounds good but yeah if there’s better/louder for around the same price I’m all for it
RYO-kai I also just watched a comparison vid on the motion+ with both the charges and I’m def tempted now in checking out the motion plus assuming it’s def gonna be better than the Bose
@@eloknu I've heard the JBL speakers in person and they do sound great and huge, but the Anker Motion + just sounds really clean especially once you dial it in. With a little fine-tuning in the EQ you can make it sound like a much more expensive speaker, and it still gets pretty loud. With the JBL you're stuck with the sound profile they have. The Anker is also $100 which is a little cheaper than the Charge series. EDIT: Keep in mind that the Motion + is very directional, so as long as you can keep it facing the right way, it sounds awesome. In reality the Charges are too though.
I have a Charge 3 and recently bought a Charge 4. I noticed lower max volume, lower battery performance when at high volume and something was off with the music. Thank you for pointing out that the Charge 4 is now in mono sound. It's going back and might go to something better.
I think it was a very difficult decision for JBL to make his most copied box in Mono. I believe that with only a more powerful loudspeaker, the Charge4 has more room for air to circulate internally and perform better. However, the immersion sensation that stereo sound produces can drive away the most demanding audiophiles (like me, for example). I'm not really understanding JBL lately ... The Flip3 had better sound than the new Flip4, the Pulse2 had better sound than the current Pulse3, now this one to launch a Charge4 MONO. The brand seems to be going down a rather strange path.
The charge 3 is more about sound pressure and its mids are a little screechy, whereas the charge 4 is a more of a full rich room filling sound. ( but I do agree that the charge 3 has better over all loudness but it compensates volume with sound quality )
I just bought the charge 3. Here in my country the charge 4 is only 10% more expensive than charge 3. Should I keep the charge 3 or return it and buy charge 4. Which is the better speaker outdoors?
@@ln3346 So I bought charge 4 while I still had charge 3. Charge 4 has much better sound. The bass has more punch to it, the mids are much better, the sound has more depth to it, charge 3 was very shallow. Charge 3 is a little bit louder outdoors than charge 4 but the difference is negligible. In the end I kept charge 4 and returned charge 3. I'm more than satisfied after 7 months. I dropped the speaker multiple times both on the ground and in water and it is still working fine.
@@vagabond630 Thanks for the quick reply. I think in the end I will opt for the Wonderboom 2, as I want to be able to nonchalantly carry the speaker in my hand everywhere I go, especially during sprinting/jogging. And the fact it has a 360° sound, as I'm too much of an audio snob and I bet I'd spend way much time just positioning the JBL to face me everywhere I turn.
Charge 4 has slightly more bass but less mids. I personally prefer the charge 3 cause it has a better balance between highs mids and lows. But you still can setup your eq and have the sounds you like in both. Nice comparison, thank you!
Guys, I really don't understand your dissappointment with removing the stereo... As if you would hear the stereo separation from Charge 3 anyway... The 2 speakers in the Charge 3 will be like 10 centimeters away from each other at very maximum :D . I think from the 2 drivers being so close together from 1 meter away or more there is no chance that you would actually be able to hear the stereo separation anyway... 1 or 2 drivers 10 cm apart - the sound goes straight to your face, that's all... You will not hear the sound coming left & right when 2 drivers are 10cm apart... To help the guy who made this video understand the idea between swappig the 2 smaller drivers for 1 bigger is that the lower frequencies require bigger drivers... That's not so complex to grasp... :D subwoofers are huge and tweeters are tiny... Wider membrane helps to produce lower frequencies. Swapping 2 little drivers for 1 bigger basically trades the stereo which you would not feel anyway for a lower lows (charge 4 thus is able to go as low as 60hz instead of 65hz in charge 3). As a result the music is much more emersive and precise(cause when base being so low ,you are now actually gonna be able to clearly hear and distinguish between the low lows, the mid mids and the high highs, instead of all the separate frequencies being sort of middish..). You're welcome.
I seen them open the charge 4 it hads a big treble tweeter on the front and only one speaker 🔈 that’s why it’s more cleaner while the charge 3 hads two speakers 🔊 on the front and no big tweeters that’s why it’s not as clean
Totally agree with you. I'm getting some for Christmas so this is all I needed to know. I'm gonna go for the 3. The two drivers I feel distribute sound better than just one.
Long story short.. the charge 3 wants to slap you in the face.. the charge 4 wants to caress your face.. depends on your listening needs.. have them both.. charge 4 for the softer tunes, charge 3 for the party.. charge 4 has a softer deeper sound until you turn it up.. charge 3 remains constant all throughout.. 3 for the win
I listened to this on my AirPods Pro and the charge 3 sounds much crispier and the bass seems more balanced but I like the design of the charge 4 better. Which one should I get?
For all of the commenters who think if you buy and connect a second Charge 4 (which are the single speaker Mono units) you will get "stereo" sound, stereo doesn't work that way. True stereo is a separation of channels where music / sound is recorded on 2 "separate" tracks ... a Left and a Right channel (aka "speaker"), so if a producer of music puts say an intro guitar sound or other to just one channel (either the Left or the Right) then the design is that the sound plays just out of that one side, thus giving you the "separation". A Mono speaker unit, not having a separate Left and a Right speaker (or channel, if you prefer), therefore CANNOT REPRODUCE a stereo signal made up of these 2 separate channels. The Mono unit's processor only recognizes the stereo signal as as single channel so by just adding a second Mono speaker, all you have done is doubled your Mono thus you get the same guitar sound out of both the units, not separated it to either a Left or a Right so therefore NO SEPARATION (unless of course "there's an app for that", lol). And no, it doesn't matter if you have one mono speaker on one side of your head and a second mono speaker on the other ... it is still ONE CHANNEL regardless and you get the guitar out of both whereas on your home stereo or a set of headphones, you would get it distinctly out of one of the speakers as it was recorded / produced in the studio. Meanwhile, I still can't make up my mind over replacing my now broken Charge 2 with either the 3 or the 4, as stereo sound is important to me whether the speakers are only 2 inches apart or 10 feet! I know that my Charge 2 knocked my sock off a couple years ago when I bought it, but I know that at the higher volume end you do lose some clarity and bass so I expect about the same with the Charge 3 but the sound is SO RICH out of my 2 that I don't want to end up with a less hearty & sterilized sound if choosing the 4, albeit it "cleaner" with more bass as reviewed and frequently commented here. As of this comment, the 3 is running a good $70 cheaper than the 4 on Amazon, so my choice might come down to cutting my purchase cost nearly in half by going with the 3. Damn near tempted to buy them both though and hear them side by side and "free return" whichever I like least. If I do, I will try and come back and update with my findings.
Ive owned the charge 3 since it came out two years ago. I recently sold it off to buy the charge 4. The audio quality in person IS better all around despite it not being in stereo anymore. But I will say that JBL should have used two 55mm 15 watt drivers in the charge 4 instead of one 30 watt oval driver. From a sales and specs stand point having two drivers means more to allot of people then just one powerful driver.
@@kennethrogers3687 I'm guessing JBL wanted to take a different approach since allot of other companies are using two smaller drivers and getting distortion at high volume levels. The Charge 4 on the other hand really doesn't distort. But like I said people want more drivers not less. Specs talk to people more then actually hearing the device in person.
I don‘t really agree with you... The Charge 4 is a pretty good inprovement. It plays much cleaner, doesnt crackle on bass heavy songs like the Charge 3 does, has noticibly deeper and louder bass. The Charge 3 sounds horrible for me next to the Charge 4.
I've been watching since the Soundbattle flip 3 vs flip 4 days. I cant say how good your channel is, thank you for the purchase decision of the flip 4. I was going for the flip 3 back then (I had a JBL flip) then I researched all about both of the flips, and I went with the 4. Keep up the great work, and the outstanding videos like the comparison videos. Also, I was going for an Onyx studio 4, till the studio 5 came out. I like the Onyx Studio 5 for the price and the size, that being said the Boombox sounds better but also I'm not a fan of mono for audio purposes, I'm sure the onyx hits harder in bass performance but overall yes the Boombox gets a bit harsh on the treble since it gets loud as boom, I'm deciding to go with the boombox!
Mr Ed what does that mean in fact? We wanna gift a 3 or 4 to a friend as a birthday present and i don’t really know what’s the better option. Price is not the problem tho
@@bhop2303 The Price on charge 4 is a little bit bigger than charge 3. The reason why it's bigger because it has 3D passive radiators and It has more Bass
Jerry4050 so back then I watched other reviews. I knew my friend likes base and electro house music. So we bought the charge 4 for him. I saw a charge 3 refurbished for 70€ on amazon and couldn’t resist and it didn’t fail me tbh. The highs as well as the Mids and even the base is strong and clear. I like the 3 one and I don’t regret buying it especially for this price!
YES, another video, first here :0. Love ur channel dude. I'm a major supporter here. U watch all ur vids. Ur gonna become a millionsub someday. Charge 4 = Mini Xtreme 2. Honestly I like the charge 3 better. Sounds more true and the bass also seems stronger. Just the quick bass hits like a quick "BOOM" in songs the charge 4 beats it. Also when music and a bit of bass is playing in the backround the charge 4 brings it out more but hides the mids. Overall the charge 3 wins.
@@DLXWillington No problem. This is my favorite channel after all. I'm surprised you dont have over 100k. You work really hard and people who barely edit are ahead of you. Keep up the good work.
Bought a Charge 2 years ago on clearance ($45) after the Charge 3 was out. A few days ago, I found an unclaimed Charge 4 at a construction site. It works well, just cleaned it up. I like them both, the 4 is louder, but a lot bigger than 2. If I were buying a new one, I'd look for a Charge 3. Since my Charge 4 was free, I have no complaints.
I actually know the reason why they went from stereo to mono because i own a charge 3 and it is a great speaker but after 6 months of usage my left speaker sounds a little sparkly when the volume is at 50% or 60% but when it is at 100% it sounds great not only i have this problem i saw many people having the same issue
It'as quite simple why they went a single driver in the Charge 4. They was trying to get a louder sound with a larger driver and 30 watts. The real reason though is to get you to buy a second one for Stereo.
Listening with HD headphones. The charge 4 has better bass at lower volumes but the at max volume the charge 3 is a bit louder. But that's because its stereo vs mono.
Just because there are 2 woofers on each side, doesn't mean in plays in stereo... But even if does play in stereo, the speakers are so close to each other that you won't even notice the stereo feature and it would just be a gimmick selling point.
I just bought a charge 4 today. But for one and only reason. My rationale was that both of them were almost the same price. The charge 4 is newer and more updated, so it will definitely bring something new to the listener, especially the slightly bigger battery. I've listened to charge 3's before. I have to say they almost sound the same. Unless you're really a nerdy birdie you won't feel the difference. Bottom line: if you already have a charge 3 do not upgrade, if you you're buying jbl's for the first time, get a charge 4.
I would like to defend the idea of the mono speaker. If you place it vertically, the speaker will be in a higher position. Then it can emit a good sound into the room. This is especially useful if you have a very deep foundation. Otherwise, I put it horizontally :-) Personally, I'm very enthusiastic about the sound of the Charge 4, compared to the Charge 3 - I own both. Especially the bass performance and the detailed sound in all frequencies are an improvement.
I like the chrage 3 because it is stereo, and most songs are recorded in stereo sound, so I prefer the speaker that spepartes the sound, and charge 3 dooes and awesome job in comparison to the 4.
I was going for the Charge 3 and heard the 4 came out so I thought I should listen to some comparisons before deciding and honestly the charge 3 sounded better to me, the charge 4 sounds kinda weird like muffled, so I decided on the 3
Huhuhu just bought charge 4 :( Charge 4 - lack of highs and mid, they focused on the low frequency 60-20000hz the sound is quite dark for me and it overpowered the mid and highs Charge 3 - all are equal i can hear low, mid and high frequencies and it is stereo 65-20000hz everything is equal and no overpowering when it comes to sound. This is just based on my observations and wht i heard. Charge 4, why u go to mono? Wht is the RMS and PMPO of charge 4?
Just bought a charge 3 after having the flip 4. The charge 4 doesn't sound as good with highs, and honestly seems kinda muffled in the highs in a way if that makes sense. The 3 just sounds more balanced overall in my opinion. I do think the 4 has a little more bass tho
Finally someone who does not play only some d&b/ step on test! And because of diverse music gener, you are one from few that speaks about stereo! Hip hop and D&B does not need stereo, electronic & other geners need. Thumbs up! Anyway i'll choose always stereo and 3.5 jack for lipsync issues correction. I have also Sony xb22 with live scene and L R separation is clear and fill up the front of the room, but Sony's battery is a pain in cold conditions, and i work in 2'C...
I bought charge 3 like 3 years ago almost and i was so hyped for charge 4 to be released and i was planning an upgrade within half a year but i guess im npt gonna do anything unless they bring back dual speaker
For those who ask about the stereo, at a normal distance you don't hear the stereo because the speakers are to close from each other. That's why you can better get the charge 4. Some people like the sound of the 3 and others prefer the bass from the 4. You decide what your type is but the stereo won't change anything.
To me, the 3 sounded brighter and handled the high and midrange better where the 4 seemed subdued or slightly choked ot while handling low end better. Overall from what I could tell from the video, I think the 3 was a better sound stage. The 3 also seems to have a better feature package. I dont know, I personally think the 4 is a bit of a fail for no apparent reason. It's more expensive so why cut features? Disappointing.
Something is absolutely missing with the mids. Thank you for this. Saved me wasting $150 on a speaker that is very underwhelming. It sounds muffled. Period. I would not have been happy. Too much of the music is just missing for lack of a better description
Well... im making a decision. Jbl3 ? or 4 ?. i like techno and black metal, death metal, grind core, and moscow death brigade. I really like jbl clear sound but im confused now. Can i update hardware like firmware to a stereo charge4 ? :D
Thanx for the review bro, very clean setup. Charge 4 here we go. It's gotta be better than what I got now. The smallest jbl joints sound better than my tube fasho. My big bro got a flip 4 and it blows away my speaker that's 4x it's size.
Stereo make no sense on a speaker that size any way because your ears will never be able to distinguish any stereo separation because the drivers are so close together.
Wow, after listening to the sound clips you laid out, I couldn't disagree more. I thought the 4 was much muddier, with considerably less separation. I listened to this on my BW headphones, so it wasnt that...
The surround sound I think is the Main difference between these two. I do have to say the charge 3 has better clarity over the charge 4. I honestly did not expect that! That was a good thing I haven’t picked up the charge four yet.
I'm still not sure why some think it's such a big step back going from two drivers to one larger driver. Putting two small drivers around 3" apart isn't going to give you any stereo separation to speak of in a small portable speaker like this. It's really a moot point for the most part. The one larger driver in the Charge 4 does offer the speaker the ability to play a little lower in range, which is a plus that is actually worthwhile.
@@JaysStraightUpReviews The effect related to the diameter of the driver. The only drivers I know that are said to not suffer from it are those BMR drivers like the Tectonic TEBM46C20N-4B. Don't see many of those used in cheap BT speakers however.
I own both, i can tell you the 4 is louder and lasts longer. when I take it along to Motorpool Mondays i can hear it so much more clearly over the tracked vehicles than I can hear the 3. The 3 does sound better though because it has two mid-range speakers where the 4 only has a single (albeit larger) midrange. At the higher end of either one's outputs, the 4 sounds better whereas the 3 is really pushing its limits (simply because of the larger drivers in the 4). To sum it up, the 3 is better for an office or household use, whereas the 4 is geared more for tailgate, campfire, cook-outs, or even in the garage while you're using power tools. both sound great for what you're getting (for you audiophiles out there just get yourself a multi-channel sound system with in-depth Equalizer functions if you really want to hear every under/overtone in your favorite track and quit wasting your time buying these smaller portable systems)
Wow! At 60% they sounded pretty much the same, the 4 maybe a tad better. But at 100% the 3 sounded way better & clearer, you could hear all instruments very clear. The 4 sounded more muffled & the base over rode the other instruments. Thanks the 3 definitely won the battle. If I make a purchase I'll by the 3 & save some money also.
I don’t know which one to get because charge 4 goes lower with bass but the charge 3 is louder. There is a massive price difference aswell. Please help me decide!
I think that a step back is a mere saving and fueling the boom on the next JBL model, which has probably fixed the errors of this, here the software will not fix the mono sound ... anyway, a large part of new customers will buy it out of curiosity and momentum, that upgrade etc is known, but they will be a bit surprised if they do not buy it only on a bp grill, probably from afar and only for loud open air listening, it may not matter. especially for the mass customer without complete musical hearing, who will not realize that the mono sell was pressed ...Marketing of large corporations always finally downgrades good products in order to fix them over and over again ..
Charge 4 has more interest sound, and she's got 30W instead 20W, Bass has become more. But i'm have Charge 3, so i don't need to buy new "Utra Different" model.
The single bigger driver can't match the upper response of two smaller drivers. The two smaller drivers can't match the bass of the larger single driver.
I dont know my mom bought a jblcharge 4 i think the charge 3 perform better.. i first tought my mom bought a fake JBL but it was not the case.. its just not the same sound. The charge3 deff perform better
I’ve had some many speakers over the years , from jbl, Sony , Bose and xiomi and even now in 2021 I still Compare them to the charge 3. Still my favorite so far. The one I bring everywhere ☺️
I just picked up a Charge 4. I have owned a Charge 3 for two years at least. I will probably come back to this comment after a while and tell everyone how I feel about living with both of them.
@@codygilley7932 Initially, the Charge 3 sounds a little better with the two tweeters and two bass radiators. I definitely wouldn't rely on the stereo though, as it is only noticeable at short distances and only directly in front of our face. You have earbuds/headphones for that. The Charge 4 really makes a difference at louder volumes. With one tweeter and redesigned bass radiators, the Charge 4 can deliver much more of a punch under stress. Right now, the connectivity hardware on both is very similar, so the Charge 3 connects the same way as the Charge 4 (as long as you update the speaker in the JBL app). The main differences are the larger battery capacity in the Charge 4, the redesigned body, the larger form factor and heavier weight of the Charge 4. It's really hard to prefer one over the other. I'd say, if JBL Charge 4 is any more than $20 higher than what you would pay for the Charge 3, it's not worth it. But if both cost pretty much the same, I like my Charge 4.
If you want to turn on the bass with the JBL charge 3 or 4, hold the bluetooth button and the minus button for 20 seconds, then all the lights will light up and the bass will work up to 1 Hz

So I've listened to this several times on a pair of Event 20/20 active studio monitors, and also Sennheiser HD 25-1 II studio headphones.
My takeaway is that the larger, single mono driver in the Charge 4 reproduces the audio more effortlessly and with much less distortion - especially at higher volumes - making it cleaner and more accurate overall. It also achieves noticeably better frequency separation. _However,_ the stereo drivers in the Charge 3 _do_ in fact make a difference, even if they're too close together to really notice the separation in a room. The Charge 3 is more likely to distort - especially in the treble range at high volume - but it doesn't have the "stark" or "naked" sound you get from a mono sound source.
_It's important to remember: stereo music is mixed with the intention of being stereo, so it's not so cut-and-dry that the Charge 4 is more accurate to the overall listening experience._
In short, the Charge 4 "sounds" better, but the Charge 3 seems to "feel" better.
Hard choice! Thanks for the great video.

what CHARGE 8 JBL speaker
I have a Charge 3 and recently bought a Charge 4. I noticed lower max volume, lower battery performance when at high volume and something was off with the music. Thank you for pointing out that the Charge 4 is now in mono sound. It's going back and might go to something better.
I think it was a very difficult decision for JBL to make his most copied box in Mono. I believe that with only a more powerful loudspeaker, the Charge4 has more room for air to circulate internally and perform better. However, the immersion sensation that stereo sound produces can drive away the most demanding audiophiles (like me, for example). I'm not really understanding JBL lately ... The Flip3 had better sound than the new Flip4, the Pulse2 had better sound than the current Pulse3, now this one to launch a Charge4 MONO. The brand seems to be going down a rather strange path.
The charge 3 is more about sound pressure and its mids are a little screechy, whereas the charge 4 is a more of a full rich room filling sound. ( but I do agree that the charge 3 has better over all loudness but it compensates volume with sound quality )
I just bought the charge 3. Here in my country the charge 4 is only 10% more expensive than charge 3. Should I keep the charge 3 or return it and buy charge 4. Which is the better speaker outdoors?
@@vagabond630 Yo which one did you keep in the end? Are you satisfied after 7 months?
@@ln3346 So I bought charge 4 while I still had charge 3. Charge 4 has much better sound. The bass has more punch to it, the mids are much better, the sound has more depth to it, charge 3 was very shallow. Charge 3 is a little bit louder outdoors than charge 4 but the difference is negligible. In the end I kept charge 4 and returned charge 3. I'm more than satisfied after 7 months. I dropped the speaker multiple times both on the ground and in water and it is still working fine.
@@vagabond630 Thanks for the quick reply. I think in the end I will opt for the Wonderboom 2, as I want to be able to nonchalantly carry the speaker in my hand everywhere I go, especially during sprinting/jogging. And the fact it has a 360° sound, as I'm too much of an audio snob and I bet I'd spend way much time just positioning the JBL to face me everywhere I turn.
Yeah, it would be impossible to run with a charge4 seeing how it is over two times both in volume and mass.
Charge 4 has slightly more bass but less mids. I personally prefer the charge 3 cause it has a better balance between highs mids and lows. But you still can setup your eq and have the sounds you like in both. Nice comparison, thank you!
Charge 3 is the winner because it gives a real live experience because of stereo?
Jbl wants us to buy 2 charge 4 🤣 and use connect+ if you want stereo sound 😂😂😂
Yes you are right 😉
Exactly
@Ruel Though charge uses 2 speakers, you still won't get stereo sound. Don't be a dumbass
Yes I agree
Apple strategy! They care about money than performance 🤦🏻♂️
Guys, I really don't understand your dissappointment with removing the stereo... As if you would hear the stereo separation from Charge 3 anyway... The 2 speakers in the Charge 3 will be like 10 centimeters away from each other at very maximum :D . I think from the 2 drivers being so close together from 1 meter away or more there is no chance that you would actually be able to hear the stereo separation anyway... 1 or 2 drivers 10 cm apart - the sound goes straight to your face, that's all... You will not hear the sound coming left & right when 2 drivers are 10cm apart... To help the guy who made this video understand the idea between swappig the 2 smaller drivers for 1 bigger is that the lower frequencies require bigger drivers... That's not so complex to grasp... :D subwoofers are huge and tweeters are tiny... Wider membrane helps to produce lower frequencies. Swapping 2 little drivers for 1 bigger basically trades the stereo which you would not feel anyway for a lower lows (charge 4 thus is able to go as low as 60hz instead of 65hz in charge 3). As a result the music is much more emersive and precise(cause when base being so low ,you are now actually gonna be able to clearly hear and distinguish between the low lows, the mid mids and the high highs, instead of all the separate frequencies being sort of middish..). You're welcome.
Charge 4 deep but missing Some mid but cleaner
Charge 3 just not so clean as the 4 but has good mids
What the heck are mids
willi3200 mid tones
@@andrecarpy6890 how many hz
I seen them open the charge 4 it hads a big treble tweeter on the front and only one speaker 🔈 that’s why it’s more cleaner while the charge 3 hads two speakers 🔊 on the front and no big tweeters that’s why it’s not as clean
@@willi-wd7kn midrange, like voice frequencies for example.
Totally agree with you. I'm getting some for Christmas so this is all I needed to know. I'm gonna go for the 3. The two drivers I feel distribute sound better than just one.
First time I show a person how giving a correct decision to the viewer's in youtube. Thanks man.
Long story short.. the charge 3 wants to slap you in the face.. the charge 4 wants to caress your face.. depends on your listening needs.. have them both.. charge 4 for the softer tunes, charge 3 for the party.. charge 4 has a softer deeper sound until you turn it up.. charge 3 remains constant all throughout.. 3 for the win
I closed my eyes and every time id say to my sis one is better it was always the charge 3 lol
Same here (minus the sister). I'm listening on a hi-fi system though.

yep , thats how you do it
charge 4 has significantly stronger bass but its missing the mids
it's not mids, it's 100-200hz
Charge 4 sounds hollow judging by this YT video.
I have a charge 4 and IMO the mids are good. I heard a charge 3 before and honestly, I didn’t see much of a difference in see
Love the vibe this video gives off! Keep up the great work man (your channel is very underrated) !
I listened to this on my AirPods Pro and the charge 3 sounds much crispier and the bass seems more balanced but I like the design of the charge 4 better. Which one should I get?
60% vol: Wins charge 4
100% vol: Clear Winner CHARGE 3!!!
Yes. True
u're just saying this cuz u have harge 3 xd
Yes open wide sound charge 3
For all of the commenters who think if you buy and connect a second Charge 4 (which are the single speaker Mono units) you will get "stereo" sound, stereo doesn't work that way. True stereo is a separation of channels where music / sound is recorded on 2 "separate" tracks ... a Left and a Right channel (aka "speaker"), so if a producer of music puts say an intro guitar sound or other to just one channel (either the Left or the Right) then the design is that the sound plays just out of that one side, thus giving you the "separation". A Mono speaker unit, not having a separate Left and a Right speaker (or channel, if you prefer), therefore CANNOT REPRODUCE a stereo signal made up of these 2 separate channels. The Mono unit's processor only recognizes the stereo signal as as single channel so by just adding a second Mono speaker, all you have done is doubled your Mono thus you get the same guitar sound out of both the units, not separated it to either a Left or a Right so therefore NO SEPARATION (unless of course "there's an app for that", lol). And no, it doesn't matter if you have one mono speaker on one side of your head and a second mono speaker on the other ... it is still ONE CHANNEL regardless and you get the guitar out of both whereas on your home stereo or a set of headphones, you would get it distinctly out of one of the speakers as it was recorded / produced in the studio. Meanwhile, I still can't make up my mind over replacing my now broken Charge 2 with either the 3 or the 4, as stereo sound is important to me whether the speakers are only 2 inches apart or 10 feet! I know that my Charge 2 knocked my sock off a couple years ago when I bought it, but I know that at the higher volume end you do lose some clarity and bass so I expect about the same with the Charge 3 but the sound is SO RICH out of my 2 that I don't want to end up with a less hearty & sterilized sound if choosing the 4, albeit it "cleaner" with more bass as reviewed and frequently commented here. As of this comment, the 3 is running a good $70 cheaper than the 4 on Amazon, so my choice might come down to cutting my purchase cost nearly in half by going with the 3. Damn near tempted to buy them both though and hear them side by side and "free return" whichever I like least. If I do, I will try and come back and update with my findings.
Ive owned the charge 3 since it came out two years ago. I recently sold it off to buy the charge 4. The audio quality in person IS better all around despite it not being in stereo anymore. But I will say that JBL should have used two 55mm 15 watt drivers in the charge 4 instead of one 30 watt oval driver. From a sales and specs stand point having two drivers means more to allot of people then just one powerful driver.
I couldn't agree more. We want more speakers, not less. What are they thinking? Peace.
@@kennethrogers3687 I'm guessing JBL wanted to take a different approach since allot of other companies are using two smaller drivers and getting distortion at high volume levels. The Charge 4 on the other hand really doesn't distort. But like I said people want more drivers not less. Specs talk to people more then actually hearing the device in person.
55mm? Thats a little too big for this small enclosure
@@SirDavid0 That's 5mm bigger then the 50mm drivers in the smaller charge 3's enclosure lol.
@@RobertNES816 im tripping
I don‘t really agree with you...
The Charge 4 is a pretty good inprovement.
It plays much cleaner, doesnt crackle on bass heavy songs like the Charge 3 does, has noticibly deeper and louder bass. The Charge 3 sounds horrible for me next to the Charge 4.
I've been watching since the Soundbattle flip 3 vs flip 4 days. I cant say how good your channel is, thank you for the purchase decision of the flip 4. I was going for the flip 3 back then (I had a JBL flip) then I researched all about both of the flips, and I went with the 4. Keep up the great work, and the outstanding videos like the comparison videos. Also, I was going for an Onyx studio 4, till the studio 5 came out. I like the Onyx Studio 5 for the price and the size, that being said the Boombox sounds better but also I'm not a fan of mono for audio purposes, I'm sure the onyx hits harder in bass performance but overall yes the Boombox gets a bit harsh on the treble since it gets loud as boom, I'm deciding to go with the boombox!
Thanks dude. I know a lot of people don't mind the mono sound but just like you, it bothers me a little bit and influences my decision a little bit.
get the partybox instad the boombox ist better keeps bass up to max
Филипок 4 норм, чё ты там разоряешься
Beats my wallet By Dr. Drew as the Flip 4 Not the Charge 3/4
Beats my wallet By Dr. Drew ok
Updated firmware on charge 4, sounds better.
Cheers man
Mr Ed what does that mean in fact? We wanna gift a 3 or 4 to a friend as a birthday present and i don’t really know what’s the better option. Price is not the problem tho
@@bhop2303 The Price on charge 4 is a little bit bigger than charge 3.
The reason why it's bigger because it has 3D passive radiators and It has more Bass
@@bhop2303 Now the charge 4 is about the same price as the Charge 3 so that tells you that the Charge 3 is selling more then the Charge 4
Jerry4050 so back then I watched other reviews. I knew my friend likes base and electro house music. So we bought the charge 4 for him. I saw a charge 3 refurbished for 70€ on amazon and couldn’t resist and it didn’t fail me tbh. The highs as well as the Mids and even the base is strong and clear. I like the 3 one and I don’t regret buying it especially for this price!
YES, another video, first here :0. Love ur channel dude. I'm a major supporter here. U watch all ur vids. Ur gonna become a millionsub someday. Charge 4 = Mini Xtreme 2. Honestly I like the charge 3 better. Sounds more true and the bass also seems stronger. Just the quick bass hits like a quick "BOOM" in songs the charge 4 beats it. Also when music and a bit of bass is playing in the backround the charge 4 brings it out more but hides the mids. Overall the charge 3 wins.
Thanks Man 👍
@@DLXWillington No problem. This is my favorite channel after all. I'm surprised you dont have over 100k. You work really hard and people who barely edit are ahead of you. Keep up the good work.
Bought a Charge 2 years ago on clearance ($45) after the Charge 3 was out. A few days ago, I found an unclaimed Charge 4 at a construction site. It works well, just cleaned it up. I like them both, the 4 is louder, but a lot bigger than 2. If I were buying a new one, I'd look for a Charge 3. Since my Charge 4 was free, I have no complaints.
I actually know the reason why they went from stereo to mono because i own a charge 3 and it is a great speaker but after 6 months of usage my left speaker sounds a little sparkly when the volume is at 50% or 60% but when it is at 100% it sounds great not only i have this problem i saw many people having the same issue
It'as quite simple why they went a single driver in the Charge 4. They was trying to get a louder sound with a larger driver and 30 watts. The real reason though is to get you to buy a second one for Stereo.
Listening with HD headphones. The charge 4 has better bass at lower volumes but the at max volume the charge 3 is a bit louder. But that's because its stereo vs mono.
Just because there are 2 woofers on each side, doesn't mean in plays in stereo... But even if does play in stereo, the speakers are so close to each other that you won't even notice the stereo feature and it would just be a gimmick selling point.
Right. Like my t.v. I gotta put my head against the center bottom to experience stereo.
I just bought a charge 4 today. But for one and only reason. My rationale was that both of them were almost the same price. The charge 4 is newer and more updated, so it will definitely bring something new to the listener, especially the slightly bigger battery. I've listened to charge 3's before. I have to say they almost sound the same. Unless you're really a nerdy birdie you won't feel the difference. Bottom line: if you already have a charge 3 do not upgrade, if you you're buying jbl's for the first time, get a charge 4.
I would like to defend the idea of the mono speaker. If you place it vertically, the speaker will be in a higher position. Then it can emit a good sound into the room. This is especially useful if you have a very deep foundation.
Otherwise, I put it horizontally :-)
Personally, I'm very enthusiastic about the sound of the Charge 4, compared to the Charge 3 - I own both. Especially the bass performance and the detailed sound in all frequencies are an improvement.
It’s not like you can hear the stereo on the charge 3
You can
Yea I mean I can hear the 2 drivers but not necessarily seperate if u know what I mean
If there is specific songs that have left to right you would notice, unless JBL made this one mono "both" in one, that being said I'm curious now
I beg to differ...I use the Charge 3 on my headboard behind my head and I enjoy the stereo separation just fine!!
I can easily hear the stereo separation on my xtreme 2 but not on the charge.... maybe its broken 😂😂
I like the chrage 3 because it is stereo, and most songs are recorded in stereo sound, so I prefer the speaker that spepartes the sound, and charge 3 dooes and awesome job in comparison to the 4.
I have the charge 4 and it sounds bad when playing rock songs.
Charge 3 is louder but charge 4 has little more bass
Lets connect them together Charge 3 sound And Charge 4 Bass and lets call it Jbl Charge 34 😁
But if you put the charge 3 on low freq can it beat the charge 4?
K1LL3R_ How do you put it on low freq
@@kbamix2003 just push bluetooth and minus volume 10 seconds
K1LL3R_ in my opinión no
For my opinion charge 4 have deep bass & beat
But for charge 3 it have normal bass/beat ( not deep ) and have louder sound than charge 4
volume isnt as important as bass lul
I have the 4...its my first jbl...im pretty satisfied
I was going for the Charge 3 and heard the 4 came out so I thought I should listen to some comparisons before deciding and honestly the charge 3 sounded better to me, the charge 4 sounds kinda weird like muffled, so I decided on the 3
better treble and better bass on ch4 what r u talking about?
@@johnlenarddatu4359 treble Is deffinitelly worse on Charge 4 since it have one woofer And no tweeters.
the sound sample progress bar is an awesome touch!!
and the frequencies at the bottom -- sweet!!
Huhuhu just bought charge 4 :(
Charge 4 - lack of highs and mid, they focused on the low frequency 60-20000hz the sound is quite dark for me and it overpowered the mid and highs
Charge 3 - all are equal i can hear low, mid and high frequencies and it is stereo 65-20000hz everything is equal and no overpowering when it comes to sound.
This is just based on my observations and wht i heard. Charge 4, why u go to mono?
Wht is the RMS and PMPO of charge 4?
Personally, I prefer charge 4. Bass is much better imo, but the only bad think in charge 3 is highs, which are much better on charge 4
rickert yeah I am glad I am
rickert jbl is the leading champion
You are underrated sir. I’m happy to have stumbled upon your youtube channel. All the best!
mono speaker is odd, but if it oddly sounds better and good balance of bass, mids, highs, then who cares how they managed it ? Just curious
I was listening to this with my jbl charge 3 and there is a bass change in the 4
I dont know but charge 4 keeps relaxing my mind
Mfking true👊
Sound qaulity is higher but its less loud
wow, after listening to 3 vs 4 vs 5 on your channel to me, 3 is the winner. thanks again !!!
Charge 3 is the better performer on my opinion because it has a stereo sound the charge 4 I don't like the way they did the mano sound.
Just bought a charge 3 after having the flip 4. The charge 4 doesn't sound as good with highs, and honestly seems kinda muffled in the highs in a way if that makes sense. The 3 just sounds more balanced overall in my opinion. I do think the 4 has a little more bass tho
I am upgrading from 5 w speaker so which one i should go flip 4, charge 3 or 4
I have got Charge 3 and I love it (1years+)
Same here.. i love it using while biking 💪💪💪
Finally someone who does not play only some d&b/ step on test! And because of diverse music gener, you are one from few that speaks about stereo! Hip hop and D&B does not need stereo, electronic & other geners need. Thumbs up!
Anyway i'll choose always stereo and 3.5 jack for lipsync issues correction.
I have also Sony xb22 with live scene and L R separation is clear and fill up the front of the room, but Sony's battery is a pain in cold conditions, and i work in 2'C...
I bought charge 3 like 3 years ago almost and i was so hyped for charge 4 to be released and i was planning an upgrade within half a year but i guess im npt gonna do anything unless they bring back dual speaker
For those who ask about the stereo, at a normal distance you don't hear the stereo because the speakers are to close from each other. That's why you can better get the charge 4. Some people like the sound of the 3 and others prefer the bass from the 4. You decide what your type is but the stereo won't change anything.
Dudes there is no stereo seperation on a 20 cm speaker ! You can hear it if u put your head on the speaker but 50cm away you can't.
There's a thing called angled drivers, like in the new Denon Envaya
listening this thru my charge 4. i can tell that the charge4 has more bass.
but the charge3 does have more clarity
Im listening this on my charge 4...im so confused...both sound like its comming out of a charge 4 wich it is basicly...😳
Wtf dude
To me, the 3 sounded brighter and handled the high and midrange better where the 4 seemed subdued or slightly choked ot while handling low end better. Overall from what I could tell from the video, I think the 3 was a better sound stage.
The 3 also seems to have a better feature package. I dont know, I personally think the 4 is a bit of a fail for no apparent reason. It's more expensive so why cut features? Disappointing.
I think rwo speakers are good, but i think that charge 4 doesnt miss anything
Thank you for making this! Purchasing the charge 3 on Amazon right now!
i bet that if you didn't know it was mono you would like it better.
isidor ftw no fucking shit
isidor WTH your profile picture is everywhere in youtube comments. i keep thinking its d same person but names are different.
Kris Young It’s A Virus That Spread In RUclips 😂😂🤭
Something is absolutely missing with the mids. Thank you for this. Saved me wasting $150 on a speaker that is very underwhelming. It sounds muffled. Period. I would not have been happy. Too much of the music is just missing for lack of a better description
Well... im making a decision. Jbl3 ? or 4 ?. i like techno and black metal, death metal, grind core, and moscow death brigade. I really like jbl clear sound but im confused now. Can i update hardware like firmware to a stereo charge4 ? :D
I'm not sure about what you are saying. But doing a firmware update ain't gonna give you stereo on a mono speaker like the Charge 4
Thanx for the review bro, very clean setup. Charge 4 here we go. It's gotta be better than what I got now. The smallest jbl joints sound better than my tube fasho. My big bro got a flip 4 and it blows away my speaker that's 4x it's size.
Stereo make no sense on a speaker that size any way because your ears will never be able to distinguish any stereo separation because the drivers are so close together.
Wow, after listening to the sound clips you laid out, I couldn't disagree more. I thought the 4 was much muddier, with considerably less separation. I listened to this on my BW headphones, so it wasnt that...
Charge 3 has Superior better quality of separation, unlike the charge 4 which sounds muddy and mono
The surround sound I think is the Main difference between these two. I do have to say the charge 3 has better clarity over the charge 4. I honestly did not expect that! That was a good thing I haven’t picked up the charge four yet.
I'm still not sure why some think it's such a big step back going from two drivers to one larger driver. Putting two small drivers around 3" apart isn't going to give you any stereo separation to speak of in a small portable speaker like this. It's really a moot point for the most part. The one larger driver in the Charge 4 does offer the speaker the ability to play a little lower in range, which is a plus that is actually worthwhile.
However, larger driver = narrower dispersion.
@@Grommet2007 that's not a given. Lot of variables. Plus, as I mentioned when drivers are just a couple I ches apart it's nearly a moot point.
@@JaysStraightUpReviews The effect related to the diameter of the driver. The only drivers I know that are said to not suffer from it are those BMR drivers like the Tectonic TEBM46C20N-4B. Don't see many of those used in cheap BT speakers however.
The best to me is charge 3..giving a loud clear sounds..at 46% volume...even if in a 80% volume..thats my opinion stereo is da best for me than mono..
I own both, i can tell you the 4 is louder and lasts longer. when I take it along to Motorpool Mondays i can hear it so much more clearly over the tracked vehicles than I can hear the 3. The 3 does sound better though because it has two mid-range speakers where the 4 only has a single (albeit larger) midrange. At the higher end of either one's outputs, the 4 sounds better whereas the 3 is really pushing its limits (simply because of the larger drivers in the 4). To sum it up, the 3 is better for an office or household use, whereas the 4 is geared more for tailgate, campfire, cook-outs, or even in the garage while you're using power tools. both sound great for what you're getting (for you audiophiles out there just get yourself a multi-channel sound system with in-depth Equalizer functions if you really want to hear every under/overtone in your favorite track and quit wasting your time buying these smaller portable systems)
Wow! At 60% they sounded pretty much the same, the 4 maybe a tad better. But at 100% the 3 sounded way better & clearer, you could hear all instruments very clear. The 4 sounded more muffled & the base over rode the other instruments. Thanks the 3 definitely won the battle. If I make a purchase I'll by the 3 & save some money also.
Charge 4 is more beatifull and more power.better passive radiators and speaker
Matełooo !! I believe in YOUR opinion
@@garrettlee8206 ch4 im more better,bass is very better,30w but mono(this isnt important because this plays very good) USB type c better battery
I don’t know which one to get because charge 4 goes lower with bass but the charge 3 is louder. There is a massive price difference aswell. Please help me decide!
Listening through my Bose headphones I'd go with charge 3
Thanks for this. Helped make my decision right now. Seems JBL went a bit backwards for some reason with the 4.
charge 3 is sounding more natural to my ears and i find it better. How ever charge 4 had more bass.
I think that a step back is a mere saving and fueling the boom on the next JBL model, which has probably fixed the errors of this, here the software will not fix the mono sound ...
anyway, a large part of new customers will buy it out of curiosity and momentum, that upgrade etc is known, but they will be a bit surprised if they do not buy it only on a bp grill, probably from afar and only for loud open air listening, it may not matter.
especially for the mass customer without complete musical hearing, who will not realize that the mono sell was pressed ...Marketing of large corporations always finally downgrades good products in order to fix them over and over again ..
I like the Charge 3 More than 4 because the Design of the passiv radiator (on the xtreme 2 i like that more) and the mono speaker
DJCHRISLP 135 but the overall design of the charge 4 looks better because the rubber rings on the outside look thinner on the 4.
I have a charge 3 and I was wondering if I should get the 4. This answered that for me. A resounding "NO"!! I like the stereo.
Charge 4 has more interest sound, and she's got 30W instead 20W, Bass has become more. But i'm have Charge 3, so i don't need to buy new "Utra Different" model.
PlexILIghT but it has a mono speaker, that makes a big difference with the high tones and clarity
Thank You for your review of the different speakers. Real hard choices to make, replacing my charge 2+.
I think charge 4 might need a tweeter or something, it just doesn't have as crisp mid tones as charge 3
The single bigger driver can't match the upper response of two smaller drivers. The two smaller drivers can't match the bass of the larger single driver.
I dont know my mom bought a jblcharge 4 i think the charge 3 perform better.. i first tought my mom bought a fake JBL but it was not the case.. its just not the same sound. The charge3 deff perform better
Charge 4 has more bass than charge 3
I’ve had some many speakers over the years , from jbl, Sony , Bose and xiomi and even now in 2021 I still
Compare them to the charge 3. Still my favorite so far. The one I bring everywhere ☺️
This is when corporate greed gets in the way & cuts corners to deliver an inferior product. I'll keep my charge 3 thanks👌🏻
Charge 3 is a legend i like that grinded finish on the bass radiators + that '' overbassed '' sound how someone says
I just picked up a Charge 4. I have owned a Charge 3 for two years at least. I will probably come back to this comment after a while and tell everyone how I feel about living with both of them.
How was it ? I’m curious if I should get the charge 3 or 4 lol
@@codygilley7932 Initially, the Charge 3 sounds a little better with the two tweeters and two bass radiators. I definitely wouldn't rely on the stereo though, as it is only noticeable at short distances and only directly in front of our face. You have earbuds/headphones for that. The Charge 4 really makes a difference at louder volumes. With one tweeter and redesigned bass radiators, the Charge 4 can deliver much more of a punch under stress. Right now, the connectivity hardware on both is very similar, so the Charge 3 connects the same way as the Charge 4 (as long as you update the speaker in the JBL app). The main differences are the larger battery capacity in the Charge 4, the redesigned body, the larger form factor and heavier weight of the Charge 4. It's really hard to prefer one over the other. I'd say, if JBL Charge 4 is any more than $20 higher than what you would pay for the Charge 3, it's not worth it. But if both cost pretty much the same, I like my Charge 4.
Zander Look thanks!
"DLX Wellington" is the jbl charge 3 stereo? Is jbl charge 4 mono? jbl charge 3 wins 4 in your opinion?

If you want to turn on the bass with the JBL charge 3 or 4, hold the bluetooth button and the minus button for 20 seconds, then all the lights will light up and the bass will work up to 1 Hz
