JBL Charge 4 vs. UE Boom 3: One-sided Battle!

After extensive evaluation, I am pleased to announce that JBL Charge 4 is victorious in its battle against UE Boom 3. It has a more powerful battery life than its rival and produces richer and deeper sound waves – giving your music an extra kick!

Although aesthetically appealing and boasting omnidirectional audio capabilities, UE Boom 3 couldn’t cut through all other parameters compared with the clear winner: JBL Charge 4.

Sound

If you’re looking for an amazing sound experience in a portable speaker without breaking the bank, then Charge 4 is definitely worth checking out. Not only does it have excellent clarity and bass for its size, but at a $150 price point, it sets itself apart from even higher-tier speakers like Megaboom 3.

That said, to get that true immersive audio wonderland effect on your outdoor adventures–it’s best experienced when standing right in front of the source due to the directional nature of its sound waves.

Charge 4 and Boom 3 have their plus points regarding sound quality, but Charge 4 stands out with its impressive single 30W driver. Its superior power delivers stronger bass than the two 10W drivers of Charge 3. The treble also has a distinct edge over other speakers like JBL Flip 4. While they offer decent performance within their price range, none can match this upgraded model’s power and sonic capabilities.

Boom 3 is an alright speaker, but it can’t compete with the mighty JBL Charge 4. The omnidirectional sound makes Boom 3 a decent choice for parties and outdoor use. However, when you consider its four equalizer settings and adjustability of bass, treble and mids through their app -Charge 4 blows even that out of the water! For pure audio quality, there’s no question: JBL takes this one hands-down!

Design

The UE Charge 4 may have a decent design, but the Boom 3 completely outshines it. The sleek and stylish look of this wireless speaker speaks volumes about why UE is one of the top brands when it comes to audio equipment. At only 8.7 inches across and 2.1 pounds in weight, you can carry this powerful little tool around with ease!

While its 10 available colors are quite straightforward – Black, Blue, Forest Green, Grey, Pink, Red, Sand, and Teal White – they might not be as vibrant or captivating as some would like… But that doesn’t stop them from making beautiful music!

The UE Boom 3 is a compact, lightweight audio speaker with amazing style. Weighing in at only 1.3 lbs and 7.2 inches tall, it packs quite the punch! The waterproof port cover offers easy access when needed but provides secure protection against water damage.

It’s available in 4 stunning colors: Lagoon Blue, Night black, Sunset Red, and Ultraviolet Purple! Not to mention the 3.5mm port, which allows you to connect your favorite devices for listening pleasure wherever life takes you!

The Boom 3 has been the clear victor with its stylish and user-friendly design. Out of all the improvements, one stands out – a Magic Button that replaces old inaccurate gesture controls to make operations much easier. No more worrying about charging while listening; you can use a wireless dock or charge from a side port!

As for battery life? Just press both volume buttons simultaneously – nice and easy! With no unsightly rubber strip this time around, it’s now even sleeker than before, making sure tech doesn’t stand in your way at any point during your day.

Durability

When it comes to durability, Boom 3 is the clear winner. Its build quality means no weak points in its design and exterior protection from splashes or drops.

On the other hand, Charge 4 offers IPX7 waterproof rated capabilities for up to 30 minutes underwater – although you’ll need a few hours of air-time afterward as water can get inside otherwise! It’s also buoyant enough that any accidental slips into deep waters won’t be unrecoverable either.

Ready for some rough-and-tumble? Boom 3 is the clear winner regarding durability; while both brands stand up against falls, drops and dust with an IPX7 waterproof rating, only Boom 3 can boast that it floats if you drop it in a lake or pool. On top of that? Its exposed radiator parts won’t get damaged during tumbles as Charge 4 would!

Power

Charge 4 and Boom 3 are both powerful headphones with over-promising battery life. Charge 4 may have the edge here: while it claims 20 hours of usage time, you can expect 8.5 hours at 60% or 6.5 if pushed further to 85%.

However, some might be attracted by Boom 3’s wireless charging port – no cables required! And whatever you choose, either option will give your devices a hefty charge of 7500 mAh juice when needed most.

With Boom 3, you get up to 6 hours of battery life at 60% volume and a US charging base for an additional $40. However, if longer sound time is what you’re after, Charge 4 could be the better option with its improved overall battery life.

Software

The good news with the JBL Charge 4 speaker? You don’t need an app to pair current generation models. Just push the Connect+ button on both speakers, and you’re ready for sound – though attempting a connection between two devices can get shaky at times.

Still, this model offers an improved Bluetooth range compared to its Boom 3 rival, plus it’s capable of connecting multiple devices simultaneously. Despite that perk, users will be disappointed because Charge has no useful features if they manage successful pairing!

With the UE app, tailor your Boom 3 speaker just for you. Hook up to 150 speakers with Party Up and have one of the best sound systems around. With Block Party, three devices can be connected all at once, so everyone has control over their music!

But don’t worry if there’s a dropout; frequent firmware updates are keeping this Bluetooth 4.2 device on its feet- even when it’s almost 100 yards away from your phone or tablet device! Create an epic atmosphere by customizing audio options such as Power On sounds through simple settings in-app – making every party memorable.

Final Thought

When it comes to getting the best sound in a speaker, JBL Charge 4 is tough to beat. With its superior audio quality and solid design, this device stands out from UE Boom 3 – although that model has some enticing capabilities. No matter what you’re looking for in an acoustic experience, JBL Charge 4 wins this battle overall due to its better sound.
