"Between those two there is no noticible diference, meaning, there is a very, very noticable delay. ... So I just don't bother with the wire anymore."
"Those tend to have a delay (JBL has one), even when connected to the cable. ... The delay makes beatmatching between the speaker and your headphones quite annoying."
"I own a JBL Charge 4, but the latency, even with a cable connection, isn't ideal for DJing."

Anxious-Ad8351 1.0I mean for the big speakers a partybox 210 is like okay (also speakers of the same size usually sound very similar), 310 is the best for medium sized rooms and anything above is practically not needed. For the medium sized ones, a boombox 3, charge 4/5/6 are pretty good cost/sound sound variants. For the smaller/little ones it's hard to choose, since you usually can't get much bass out of them. I chose mine by the specs and knowledge. JBL has been around for years and has developed a pretty huge ecosystem of syncing tws clear sounding speakers. Although they're pretty pricey, I think most of their speakers are worth it. How to choose: Ratings/comments under product Specs (Size, wattage and speaker range. The lower it goes, the better it usually is.) Price: must not be overpriced. The less rgb the lower the price (usually (not talking about partyboxes rn))
bewaah 1.0Agree, I have the partybox 300, pretty decent warm sound. I also have the charge 4, that I use to bring easily on camping without a car etc. The extreme's are better than charge's. But yeah I would recommend the partybox series myself. 100's are a bit small, but possible to put in a backpack. 300 has decent sound for 10 people with dancing
DesperateCranberry28 1.0I mean for that price u can’t complain. If I get it later it will replace my current JBL charge 4 just cause it’s always out of juice when I need it
FunkoGamer69 1.0I just got a JBL Charge 4 on Amazon “refurbished” for $80 and its amazing. The only thing i noticed is it did not come with the original box, other than that it appears to be brand new.
Global_Ad6868 1.0Charge 4 or flip 5 imo cuz lfm
Historical_Form_9317 1.0Don’t fall victim to to the ai hate. I have had multiple JBL speakers throughout the years from charge 3 and charge 4 to party boxes and have never had any trouble with any of them. If there is any truth to the fires it probably fake shit you buy off of temu
IceBlitzz 1.0I have two JBL Charge 4's. The Charge is more powerful and have better bass, but at almost 4x the price. The Xiaomi is quite a bit better bang for the buck than the Charge.
impalanar 1.0I just use a JBL Charge 4. Does the job.
Interesting_Put_33 1.0I don't know a JBL charge 4 when listened to outside from about 20 feet away while swimming in a pool sounds surprisingly well
MadrigalRose 1.0I got the Charge 4 and even after having it replaced by JBL I have problems with it linking. Trying the Bose Soundlink Flex. Sounds amazing, no issues and perfect for travel! Impressive little speaker. And I am not usually a Bose fan.
