The BlueAnt X3 8.Comparison of JBL Flip 5 and JBL Charge 4 Bluetooth speakers But to be fair, these are 360° speakers focusing on volume, and comparisons are not all that objective. I review many BT speakers, and I would put it close to the Ultimate Ears Mega Boom 8.2/10 ($299.95) and well above the Boom 3 8.2/10 ($199.95). Interestingly the speaker it replaces, JBL Charge 4, was $229.95. JBL has done it again with its expertise in water-resistant, no-frills, Bluetooth speakers that sound great. It is not so much distortion but clipping or compression and backing off a few dB fixes that. Volume-wise it reaches 84.4dB (loud), but there is a little too much distortion at 100% volume. We did not have a second unit to play stereo in PartyBoost, but it has a decent enough signature to handle that. Outdoors it is loud enough, but the passive bass radiators struggle to ramp up the bass in the wide-open spaces. We found podcasts to be clear and clean courtesy of the new tweeter – it adds clear dialogue missing from the Charge 4. The top end is a little harsh but back off a few dB and that goes.īut the lack of an app EQ means garbage in, garbage out, so have a little pride and play at least 16-bit, 44.1kHz ripped music that Spotify et al., provide.

At 100% volume (test over an hour and extrapolated), that gets closer to 13 hours. We tested on a continuous loop under the same parameters, and it achieves just over 19 hours. JBL claims up to 20 hours, based on 50% volume and BT 5.1 SBC low-res MP3 audio content from a BT 5.1 device. It can charge a USB device while charging, but that also increases the speaker charge time. Of course, that reduces playing time accordingly. To put that in perspective, it should charge an iPhone 13 about 1.5 times. The Power Bank bit means it has a USB-A port capable of 5V/2A/10W charging. That also means it can charge from a car utility socket (cigarette lighter).

It will also charge at 5V/2A/10W or less, but charge times can be longer. Charge time using any USB-C PD charger is about four hours – there is no fast charge.

The battery is 3.6V/7.5A/27W, which is significantly larger than most BT speakers. PartyBoost is a great concept but is supersedes Part Connect that may upset some owners of older JBL speakers that cannot use it. These include Xtreme 3, Boombox 2, Pulse 4 and Flip 5. It also has JBL PartyBoost to join with up to 100 like-minded JBL speakers.
