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.
