    The charge4 is definitely missing something in the mid tones. I think the Charge3 is the better performer.

      @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

    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!

    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.

      @@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.

    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.

    Great video! Loved the side by side review. Should have used a song that utilizes the stereo speaker vs mono speaker... Obviously copyright infringement could possibly prevent one from using the part of Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody's song where it uses the L/R channels of the speaker... I'd be curious how the charge 4 would play it...I presume just mono, which I guess is fine.
    Also, I thought Amazon Affiliate links require something in the description to say that you earn commission on sales (which you should be able to since you're doing such a good job on showing us the features) otherwise they could potentially terminate your affiliate relationship... unless something has changed. Ethics I guess haha.
    Anyway, thanks for the video!

  • @helmygalindo
    @helmygalindo 5 ปีที่แล้ว +10

    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.

    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.

    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 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.

    Good review thank you for sharing. The move of JBL from 2 speakers into one is okay in my opinion, It is still stereo sound, but their sound engineers maybe figured it out that way to lower the Bass Frequency and enabled more Bass reflex. Some Expensive & good Bluetooth speakers only have one speaker on them. I've been tricked actually a week ago by buying a 12" woofer & Horn Tweeter party speakers ( not known brand) and so disappointed because i need to crank the volume up just to get a decent bass. Hands down these two JBLs can out performed that Party speaker.

    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)

    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.
