Review on 🔵 JBL Charge 4 - Blue Waterproof Portable Bluetooth Speaker: Take Your Tunes Anywhere! by Robert Evans

Good day, my music reader. I am sure that each of us loves to listen to music. But with what devices? Perhaps you can conduct a statistical analysis and look at its results with curiosity. It is enough for someone to listen to their favorite home TV tunes or cheerful neighbors behind the wall. Well, another category would prefer to have their own piano or, in extreme cases, a portable speaker system. I understand the latter. You can’t go on a picnic, taking a piano with you into the forest. Although the piano in the bushes will not be superfluous for anyone. To date, I do not have a stationary percussion keyboard instrument. But, now there is a portable speaker system "JBL Charge 3". And unity with nature is already taking place on a digital electronic-communicative basis. At the edge of the forest, sitting at the Nika "Tourist" folding table, you can hear the beautiful trills of a nightingale coming from the column, the hooting of an eagle owl and even the howling of wolves, watching with curiosity from the bushes what is happening. And what about wolves, they also have an ear for music. It's one thing, the village harmonica player Timoshka, who is bored to hell with them, always confusing the frets when he drinks (no one has seen him sober yet), and another "JBL Charge 3". So what would you choose for yourself, howl like a wolf or live with a column? AND THE FROG IN THE "BOX". A portable speaker system is sold in a solid cardboard box with color drawings on all sides. Judging by them, the system is either a waterfowl or a Titanic going to the bottom (goodbye DiCaprio) after a collision with an iceberg. A small RECOMMENDATION for numbers fans. The water-repellent surface of the "JBL Charge 3" makes it easy to calculate the volume of a portable system. According to the law of Archimedes, pour water into the bath, measure its amount and lower the column into it (try to do everything carefully, and not as usual). You will learn how much water will splash on the floor from a neighbor living below you. These figures, which he will name, as compensation for the damage, will be the volume of "JBL Charge 3". We continue. The device is made of blue plastic. The surface has an original design in the form of weaving, somewhat reminiscent of snake skin (that is, an amphibian creature, which one, name it yourself). And now. Let's imagine together a lovely Chinese girl who for ten days continuously weaved a cape for the "JBL Charge 3" case for us. Not a single fold, not a single torn eyelet, this lovely creature did not allow. LOGOS a) ON THE HULL: In many places portable speaker system "JBL Charge 3" is the logo. This is not only iconic information content, but also part of the design. Agree, looking at the photo, the icon looks very nice. By the way, if you look at it for a long time (in the photo), peering into the shades of colors and the play of shadows for a long time, you can see the silhouette of the face of that Chinese girl. b) ON SPEAKERS: Even on the speakers you can see three cherished letters from China (it is doubtful that these are hieroglyphs, however, few people understand Chinese writing). INSTRUCTIONS (TO THOSE WHO ARE NOT FRIENDS WITH TECHNOLOGY) The instruction for the user is colorful, bright, with a large number of drawings and explanatory inscriptions. Unfortunately, there is not a single word in Russian in it. But, in comparison with the fact that they are not in Chinese, one can accept this fact as the equality of countries, friendship and unity of peoples. TOLERANCE (that is, neither yours nor ours). APPEARANCE. It is difficult to determine the dimensions of the device from the photographs. For example, in the palm of your hand to transfer the column is not difficult. (By the way, while holding the portable device, I felt the heat emanating from it. It was left by the fingers of a young Chinese lace maker, who so diligently made a braid on the case). The weight, of course, is felt. In case of emergency, to save your own life, you can, without doubting the result, launch a column towards the bushes where the wolves lurk. The reaction of these wild animals to a weighty object flying in their direction, emitting the loud voice of Leps "A glass of vodka on the table ...", will be predictable. And after some time, when the danger has passed, you can easily find the device by following the sound of the melody. Since the weighing device (I forgot its name), at the time of writing the review, was not at hand, I can’t give the exact weight figures. In principle, you can take the column to the nearest Pyaterochka, where there are control scales for picky buyers, which I will definitely do next time (if security does not kick me out of the store). Didn't you see an ad on the door of the grocery store, you can come in with your "JBL Charge 3"? WHERE SHOULD I PUT THIS? In order to charge the device, you need to use a special cable (supplied with a portable speaker). It is standard, sold in all specialized stores, and if lost, it will not be difficult to buy a similar one. Where did I put it, you did not see? Charging is done through a special port for several hours. This is enough for as much as fifteen hours of continuous use for battery life. Checked, indeed, the charge holds for a long time. An adapter for connecting a cable is not supplied with this speaker model. (A caring manufacturer thereby hints, buy a model for one and a half thousand rubles more, we will give an adapter as a gift). The care was not appreciated and we use a device from a smartphone. DIAMETER. Is it necessary to know it? Maybe yes. After all, you never know where there will be a desire to "shove" the column. I'll take a circular measurement. The diameter of the portable device is ... eleven centimeters. DYNAMICS. Speakers are those devices from which the sound comes loudly, sometimes quite quietly, as you wish. They are located on both sides of the system (from the ends). I and the manufacturer implore you, do not poke your finger into the speaker. Yes, it attracts, I will not hide, but I could not resist and poked myself, but only once and not much. And no one has seen it. And then they got used to weaving a finger everywhere. Here lies a piece of paper in the square with a warning "the bench is painted", and they strive to touch everything. What for? What results do they want to get, to admire later on their finger, stained with not dried paint? So that later, after returning home, with zeal to rub it with acetone and curse at the unfortunate painters who led into temptation? There was no inscription, they would have passed by or plopped down on a bench (and it doesn’t matter that later the backside would be striped). Suut, you understand your finger everywhere. In the instructions for "JBL Charge 3", for people like you, a warning is drawn with a red cross! I just don’t understand why the speakers puff out their cheeks so hard when they emit loud bass (maybe touch them again?). CONTROLS (WATCH THE HAND IN THE PHOTO). All control buttons are made convex. Pressing is easy. The system responds quickly (but not instantly). For people who prefer tactile sensations, convex control buttons on the device will come in handy. Yes, and in the dark, it is easy to find them for a mere mortal. PORT BAY. All ports for connecting external sources and installing a memory card are located in a special closed compartment. At first, he didn't even know where he was. Well camouflaged. Having figured it out, I realized that it would not be difficult to open it. DOUBT (COMPLETELY UNFOUNDED). WEAK FASTENING. Didn't list it as a disadvantage. But personally, the plastic hinges on the opening lid seem unreliable to me. Although, it is not a fact that they will last less than the device itself. This is known only to the developers and, perhaps, James Cameron. THE NIGHT IS COMING. A strip of blue lights is nothing more than a charge level. The fewer lights left, the more inexorably the time will come when it will be necessary to charge the device again. The top control panel has a backlight and a central keypad (white light). Did you think those were the eyes of a returning wolf after the handheld device was thrown at him? WHAT CONCLUSIONS CAN BE DISCOVERED FROM THE ABOVE? AND FOR WHAT SHOULD WE PUT PLUSES? plus one + beautiful; plus two + bright color; plus three + original case; plus four + light weight; plus five + great design; plus six + accessible control; plus seven + clear Instructions; plus eight + not easily soiled (a couple of times the device traveled with us to nature and did not get dirty); plus nine + the presence of a charge indicator (lights up with decreasing discharge); plus ten + there is a backlight of some control buttons; plus one hundred and three + excellent sound quality; plus eleven + pleasantly lived up to expectations after the purchase; plus eleven with a ponytail + strong body (in case of an accidental fall from the table, no serious or minor consequences were found); plus twelve + the presence of a Bluetooth device (works without comment); plus thirteen + if necessary, you can charge tablets and smartphones from the speaker using a USB cable (that is, it serves as a portable battery); plus fourteen + there is protection against moisture; plus 15 + you can talk on the phone Maxvi C3 (like a speakerphone); plus 15 and plus another 1-n + you can connect identical devices in parallel; plus (last) one more add + high volume. AND THE LAST ONE HUGE PLUS: This device can unite various categories of people. One has only to purchase a similar speaker for someone, as he will be able to connect via Bluetooth to someone who already has it. And now a circle of interests has already been created, which will increase the diameter with each new user. For friendship! SUMMARY 1. Most often, we personally use the JBL Charge 3 portable speaker system to listen to sound when watching movies through a smartphone. 2. Several times they took with them to nature (during the day, not in the forest, in an open field). 3. Sometimes we listen through it to our favorite tunes pouring from the Luxele RP-113 radio. 4. I think that the disclosure of all the possibilities of this device is yet to come. RECOMMENDATIONS I will not impose. There are similar models cheaper, there are more expensive. Our choice fell on the "JBL Charge 3", which we still do not regret at all. I wish everyone silence in the forest thicket to enjoy the purity of the sounds pouring from "JBL Charge 3". See you soon. Your Nicholas. PS 1. In a short video clip, you can hear croaking when turning on and hooting when turning off the "JBL Charge 3" portable system. 2. Anticipating questions in the comments about the exorbitant cost of the device, I will make a reservation that I bought it at a big discount.
