I have had the box since August 13th, 2020 and I am very satisfied with the sound, but always have a real problem when I turn it off, it turns on automatically and I no longer know what to do when I press the off button for 10 seconds does it really go off, but that is not a solution, because it only comes on again when the power cable is connected. What is that hidden function? There is nothing in the operating instructions or should I go back to exchange the device?

For those who do not have blutueth on their computer, I solved it by taking the V5.0 uispi external device, which is the strongest V5.0 uispi external device that I bought for 85 TL last week. I recommend it to you. You can listen with pleasure by introducing the sound bomb.

This device is super good, its sound is beautiful, the basses are convincing, its volume is huge, it can even fill a 10x10 m room, even during a roar! Listening up close, the bass is a bit distracting, it would be nice to have some EQ adjustment options to curb the bass. Its battery is huge, it can withstand 15-20 hours. Unfortunately, it is not written that a USB C connector is required for charging. The music stream can also be fed via a wire, not just BT. Not cheap, but worth the price. I didn't try its watertightness. It rivals BOSE!

i have only owned the charge 4 for a short time and am also very satisfied with the sound and the possible volume (with an equalizer a lot more is possible in terms of sound technology - a shame that it was not integrated into jbl's own connection app, like for example with anker ). Hopefully it or the battery will last for a while, but I also treat it carefully and don't consciously overwhelm it.

I have had a response from Harman. It is a mono speaker. To the left of the logo, the tweeter, to the right of the logo, is the center toner. The latter is therefore more present and the sound seems to come from the right side of the speaker. To obtain stereo sound, you can pair one (exactly the same) speaker with a 2nd one.

Used for several hours now; very much to talk about so far. Connects to phone quickly, haven't had any connectivity issues yet. My HiFi set is a bit older but semi-high end, compared to that the JBL doesn't even cut a bad figure. Especially at low volumes (that's how I usually use it) it's still fine to hear.
