A solid easy pairing speaker. It isn’t necessary to use the app. There is no equalizer function in the app for the charge 4 anyway.
Edit 1: it is easy pairing - but after pairing when i walked 15 feet away all connection would drop. No music. Would have to re- pair.
The Amazon music app has an equalizer function built in that allows you to configure custom levels for each song, even during a song. And the charge 4 is perfectly responsive to the Amazon music app equalizer. So no need for the jbl presets to limit your music style.
I bought the 4 because it has the 3.5 aux input. Charge 5 does not. The aux input is a more steady, stable and stronger signal than any Bluetooth. And the sound quality is superior. In addition the battery will last longer.
This charge 4 uses an older version of Bluetooth. That is not an issue because all 5 range bluetooth is backwards compatible to 4. I’ve had no problem with Android or ios or kindle fire connections.
Edit 2. Distance is an issue if you pair and walk away
I’m happy listening to everything on this. Most of my music is piano, orchestral and folk. I alter the preset in the Amazon music app or my device equalizer. This is not just a boom box. But it can definitely boom a deep enough bass on the factory presets.
Fast pairing on all devices, great loudness, good sounds that i can alter with my own equalizer. Works for classical or jazz, too. Including symphonies. Not hi fidelity or stereo but very pleasant. Good price.
Connects to other jbl connect devices. Has 3.5 aux.
I liked it so much i bought it a carrying case.
Edit 3: i returned the Jbl charge 4. Now i have an empty jbl charge 4 case which i will use as an ugly purse.

Perfect little shop speaker to lug around with me!
(UPDATE) SO AFTER 2 WEEKS! IM EVEN MORE HAPPY WITH THIS SPEAKER! I think I've only charged this thing 2 times in the 2 weeks I've had it and I didn't even need to! I use it for about 8 hours a day also! I'm watching or rather listening to shows on my tablet while I work! So music may drain the battery faster but I've only had it get down to above half battery life! I also use it at home sometimes at night I'll fall asleep with it connected to my projector and thr battery is amazing! I throw it in my drone back with a bunch of other cameras and stuff never looks dirty or scratched o haven't dropped it yet and I hope I don't but it feels like it can handle a few good wasit level drops on solid ground before anything would happen! I hope the charge 5 and this one pair in party mode when I get that one!I needed a portable speaker in the shop sometimes I have to go outside and work and sometimes I just don't like the full system I have banging around tbis is perfect super clear sound sometimes I even hook my TV to and and set it next to the couch so I don't bother anyone else amd I can hear what people are saying because the crisp sound! I'm a very huge bass head but I like the fact that this doesn't sound muddy and over saturated with low end!(After a Week) I'm still loving this thing! The battery life is amazing! I ran my tablet at work on it for 2 days and charger the tablet from it the whole time and it only dropped one little dot / bar of battery in 2 days I wasn't running it super loud and a lot of what I was listening to was just talking but I listen to shows while I work so the screen was running on my tablet the whole time as well! I like it i haven't dropped it or gotten it wet yet but seem very sturdy! It hasn't gotten scratches or beat up in my work bag at all either! I plan on buying the charge 5 now hopefully I can get them to link together in party mode somehow!

Sin duda una excelente bocina.
Color: GreenVerified Purchase
Supero mi expectativas, la verdad miré muchos modelos para decidirme por este en especifico, pero no me arrepiento para nada, es una excelente bocina bluetooth, tiene una excelente duración de batería, además de que tiene un muy buen tamaño, ya que en algunos revisados comentaban que era grande y no la podías sujetar con una mano, pero para nada, para mi tiene un tamaño excelente para poder transportarla y escuchar música en todos lados, en lo que si coincido es en el peso, ya que si es algo pesada pero tiene justificación, con esa batería que se carga, y por ultimo y mas importante, su sonido, diablos que sonido tiene esta bocina, tiene unos bajos profundos que te erizan la piel, tengo una Bose SoundLink Revolve+ II y ni de chiste tiene la calidad de bajos que tiene esta bocina, en general el sonido de la bose es mas nítido, pero si te gusta que se distingan los bajos como a mi, sin duda esta es tu opción, y el color es muy bonito.ChairezSin duda una excelente bocina.
