In January 1965, he sold the company to CBS and later founded two other musical instrument companies, Music Man and G&L Musical Instruments. Get this speaker if you don’t mind the little extra weight, and being the go-to-guy who always turns the music up.Patent for the Fender Stratocaster created in 1956Ĭlarence Leonidas Fender (Aug– March 21, 1991) was an American inventor, who founded Fender Electric Instrument Manufacturing Company, or "Fender" for short. JBL is one of the brands that pop up when discussing bluetooth speakers, and the JBL Charge 4 continues to prove why. This keeps your phone alive for just long enough to get to an alternative power source. To add to that, you also can count on the JBL Charge 4 to revive your smartphone in case it runs out of power, since the portable speaker comes with a built in power bank unlike the Anker Soundcore. The value you get from the JBL Charge 4 is immense since this portable speaker belts out 30 watts of audio which is pretty standard for a good quality speaker, and its support for bluetooth connectivity allows you to play your music from as far as 30 feet away. Here, you’ll find a USB-C port for charging the battery, a USB-A port for charging a phone or tablet, and a 3.5 mm AUX output for plugging in your preferred music source. The speaker comes covered in a nice durable fabric that keeps water outside, as well as a waterproof flap to keep its input/output panel dry. Aside from that, the JBL Charge 4 is also a bit heavier than most bluetooth speakers (like the UE Boom 3), and we think this also translates to a higher sound quality. They’re about 12 in total, so there’s a flavour there for everyone. The only thing design-wise that gives an edge to the Charge 4 over the Charge 3 is its wide variety of colors that you now get to choose from. The sound quality is still as good as if not better than that of the Charge 3, with a bass that sounds much more convincing when you’re in a closed space. The portable speaker isn’t capable of stereo sound since it has a single driver, but this isn’t something that most owners take issue with. This means that you can submerge it in water to a depth of 1 meter for about 30 minutes, and it’ll still turn out okay unlike the Bose Soundlink Revolve.

You won’t need to worry about your JBL Charge 4 falling into your pool by accident thanks to its IPX7 waterproof rating.
