like volume? get 3 like bass? get 4 like both? get a damn boombox

I just realized that I’m only judging my phones speaker😂😂😂

It’s awesome how this video was organized it really lets you compare the two speakers side by side and he explains what he can about both

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.

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

No. I am keeping my charge 3, thank you 🤗

the sound sample progress bar is an awesome touch!! and the frequencies at the bottom -- sweet!!

Love the vibe this video gives off! Keep up the great work man (your channel is very underrated) !

First time I show a person how giving a correct decision to the viewer's in youtube. Thanks man.

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.

You are underrated sir. I’m happy to have stumbled upon your youtube channel. All the best!

Thank you for making this! Purchasing the charge 3 on Amazon right now!

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!

Is it just me or does the charge 3 sound louder.

Thanks for this. Helped make my decision right now. Seems JBL went a bit backwards for some reason with the 4.

Damn, now THAT is a wonderfull and helpfull review, thank you for your effort and very well explained!!

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

Charge 3 is louder. But. The Charge 4 has more bass than sound

As usual great review! Great editing thanks!!!

You definitely deserve way more subs, your vids are super nice. Keep it up man :)

The charge 3 sounded like it had more depth and dimension, all the 4 had was a little deeper bass, going with the charge 3!

Some people like the sound like this... JBL should just add an equalizer into the app so that everyone can just be happy!

Thank You for your review of the different speakers. Real hard choices to make, replacing my charge 2+.

Great vid! Keep up the fantastic work man 👨!

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.

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!

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!

Great videos and video editing and very original yt channel!

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.

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

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.

"DLX Wellington" is the jbl charge 3 stereo? Is jbl charge 4 mono? jbl charge 3 wins 4 in your opinion? in terms of drums, who is better?

I'm getting a second unit in the future so I'm not complaining! Charge is my favorite like of speaker so I'm ok with it (this 1 time) That said I do agree that the mono idea is pretty weird especially since they have space in the unit for another driver or at least a tweeter! Plus I have 6 other connect plus enabled speakers.

I like how people hear this video on their 100€ china smartphone speaker and are judging about the sound quality of 2 high quality speakers

I'm looking for a product of that type. In the end the JBL Charge 3 seemed to be the best and your video confirms that I should avoid the Charge 4 (from what I hear, it's about as bad as the Bose ones). Thanks.

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.

Best sound comparsions ever! Top #1 speaker channel for me! I have a question: Will be there a video from the jbl partybox?

I have the 4...its my first jbl...im pretty satisfied

Hi... I am so appreciative of your work, so amazing, really objective. But, just suggestion for you please play music or song that contain stereo sound, thus we can listen how much the differentiation about mono and stereo, because, according to me, for a portable speaker, stereo is not a big deal, because of the size, unless if the speaker has two units and placing in quite far, thus the effect of stereo will be impact.. but, once again, wonderful for your job.

Thanks for this good detailed breakdown,Im getting a charge 3.

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 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.

DLX Willington can you make a speaker comparison between the flip4 and charge4 ?

Thanks bro! Very informative

I was listening to this with my jbl charge 3 and there is a bass change in the 4

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

Hey bro you have to tell me which Bluetooth speaker blow your mind? Looking for a new one plz recommend..looking forward to see your message.thanks!

Hey DLX I sow there is a new charge 5 is it true? I'd like to see a comparison with the previous version which I just got last year, isn't it too soon for a new version? Does it really worth? Tnx

Im listening this on my charge 4...im so confused...both sound like its comming out of a charge 4 wich it is basicly...😳

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.

Thanks for answering my question in the first minute. Is the charge 4 mono or stereo like charge 3.. Something Flossy couldn’t answer. I mean why buy pricey portable speakers if it’s not in stereo.

Hello, very good video. Give me advice on whether to buy Charge 3 in 2020 or more money to buy Charge 4? Can you help me ? I would appreciate it

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.

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.

Yo this video was really good, thanks!

Awesome review - Made my decision to save a couple bucks and buy the Charge 3! Thanks so much!

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

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 have a charge 3 but was considering buying the charge 4 but based on this demo the charge 3 has a richer sound plus when i first got the r3 i saw a video on how to boost the base, also there was an app for the r3 that you could control 2 3's making a proper stereo sound great sound as it is space saving which is a bonus as i live on a boat, thank you for this sound off

Awesome dude! Thank you!

Charge 4 deep but missing Some mid but cleaner Charge 3 just not so clean as the 4 but has good mids

I think charge 4 might need a tweeter or something, it just doesn't have as crisp mid tones as charge 3

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...

Sorry if i miss understanding something, to make a real difference between mono and stereo the speaker has to be placed separately left and right, but for such a small speaker in which anyway both speaker was placed together how mono or stereo will make any difference??

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

Updated firmware on charge 4, sounds better. Cheers man

Hi! Are they in their latest firmware updates when you compare and contrast them both?

Hi willi. Can you make a battle between charge 4 vs xtreme 1 ?

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

listening this thru my charge 4. i can tell that the charge4 has more bass. but the charge3 does have more clarity

wow, after listening to 3 vs 4 vs 5 on your channel to me, 3 is the winner. thanks again !!!

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 significantly stronger bass but its missing the mids

I think rwo speakers are good, but i think that charge 4 doesnt miss anything

Do you preffer the charge 4 or revolve plus please do a sound battle.

JBL has a firmware update for the Charge 4 I installed tonite. No info as to what it did though, I got excited when I saw it it and my Charge 4 sounds a bit louder now. Just an FYI, I might be late to that update party lol. Holla and let us know please?

Jbl wants us to buy 2 charge 4 🤣 and use connect+ if you want stereo sound 😂😂😂

I closed my eyes and every time id say to my sis one is better it was always the charge 3 lol

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?

Glad I ordered the 3 😊👌thank you for sharing 😊👌I really bought for my car because I don’t have Bluetooth and God bless your beautiful boy 🥰🥰🥰🥰stay save😷

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.

Why not two 15W speakers at JBL 4? It really did not make the meaning put mono speaker.

I already have a charge 3 and planning on buying a charge 4 so I can pair it but should I pair another charge 3 or charge 4??

Thank you for the video was looking for a jbl for my wife and went with the charge 3 didn't see the justification of the charge 4 price difference.

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.

Charge 3 is louder but charge 4 has little more bass

Thank u so much on helping me decide I like the charge 3 😍🥺

DLX Willington many thanks for your sound battles. I listen this battle few times on headphones AKG K52, American Audio HP 550, samsung OEM hadphones from Samsung cellphone, then on my home stereo receiver with 2 way Canton speaker, on profi speaker JBL PRX715 and JBL EON610 and i think the Charge 3 has on default better sound. Charge 4 has little more less hi bass band, or lower mid and mid band and boosted low and high band.I think if you use equalizer the result can be different. But, many users dont want use equalizer. Maybe should JBL make 2 way mono speaker. P.S. who can hear stereo vs mono on this little speaker ?

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

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.

I think the mono is so you buy 2 and use them paired in stereo mode. Have you tried linking the 3 and 4 in stereo mode?

What youcan recomend for me? Bcuz i want a speaker but i dont know now what to buy, charge 3 or 4

60% vol: Wins charge 4 100% vol: Clear Winner CHARGE 3!!!

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.

Thanks for the review!

would you recomend me to buy the charge 4 for 120€ or the charge 3 for 100€ is it worth 20 € more ?

Did he talk about the charging and battery 🔋??

The charge 3 is not stereo because the drivers are in sync there is no r and l channel separation unless u have 2 of the same speakers so their both mono the only diff is the sound spreads a little bit further

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!

For Charge 4, is only the bass speaker mono? Or is the regular speaker in it also mono?
