We used to have the JBL charge 2. My husband left it on the hood of his work truck right at the windshield and he drove off and it was never to be seen again. I don’t get upset about much but that one really got to me! That was the best speaker we have ever had. We were reluctant to get the pulse 4 simply because of the price. But we bit the bullet. It’s a great speaker with great sound quality but the battery life is terrible. Even when we turn off the light show, it dies quickly. The JBL charge 2 still had great battery life being 5 years old. It held up so great! Wish I had it back. Someone out there probably found it and is enjoying the heck out of it.

The lit mode wasn’t much good in sunlight as well.But when indoors it takes you to another dimension and it is quite mesmerizing so, no need for disco lights.If I had to make any improvements, I would add voice activation like Alexa or Google Assist.

I would highly recommend this speaker for anyone looking to have background music. I would not expect to much sound quality wise, it roughly compares to a JBL flip 6 although slightly worse overall. It has lacking sub bass for its size and can have piercing highs at loud volumes (above 60% when close to the speaker). I recommend using the app for the lights and EQ. Overall the app is fairly good giving you several presets for the lighting of the speaker. I would note that the equalizer is only 3 bands ( bass, mids, treble ). My EQ preset is +1 on the bass -1 on the mids and treble.

The JBL Pulse 4 is a fun addition to my other portable JBL speakers. While it isn’t necessarily my favorite JBL speaker, the light show does add a neat aspect to it, depending on what you want from your speaker. As I have come to expect from JBL, the sound quality and overall feel of the speaker are excellent. The audio is crisp at all levels and able to achieve plenty of sound for my needs. The separate sub-woofer does add a decent amount of bass while enjoying louder volumes, but never over-powering. The single speaker on top has excellent sound, but does suffer a bit from being a single speaker. I was unable to try 2 Pulse speakers together in stereo mode, but I would image the result created would really enhance the experience. As others have mentioned, when ... MoreThe JBL Pulse 4 is a fun addition to my other portable JBL speakers.

I was unable to try 2 Pulse speakers together in stereo mode, but I would image the result created would really enhance the experience. As others have mentioned, when using the speaker in an open space, some of the overall sound is lost since the speaker points upward, but when used in a house/room, it does a very nice job filling the entire room with sound. My main comparison is with the JBL Flip 4 speaker, which I feel has a little nicer balance of sound, but I certainly cannot complain about the quality achieved with the Pulse 4. My currently JBL portable speaker lineup includes a Clip 3, Flip 4 and Pulse 4 and honestly each speaker has its place and best use. Whether you’re looking for a party enhancer or background music around the house that entrances the kids, you can’t go wrong with a Pulse 4.
Came beautifully packaged in a sleek box,this speaker looks every inch quality, is well built and exudes a sleek stylish look.The design of the speaker is fantastic with the 360 glass surround and simple function buttons which are easy to access.The sound that comes from the speaker is top class - the beat really packs a punch without a hint of tininess at any volume. Great to use all around the house,in the garden, garage etc etc.The lightshow that comes from the speaker is fantastic and the lights really do dance along to the music.The lights have several different sequences that can be easily selected via the actual speaker or through the app.Bluetooth connectivity is simple to connect and battery life seems neverending with plenty of warning when needing ... MoreCame beautifully packaged in a sleek box,this speaker looks every inch quality, is well built and exudes a sleek stylish look.The design of the speaker is fantastic with the 360 glass surround and simple function buttons which are easy to access.The sound that comes from the speaker is top class - the beat really packs a punch without a hint of tininess at any volume.

We got it home, tested it, mostly happy. Execellent sound quality, the lights are fun and bright. The issue, however, is there is no volume control on the speaker. And nothing that tells you that. Tried to hook it up to a record player that relies on the external speaker for volume control, as you might imagine, that leaves you with one volume only and the app doesn't help.
I've had this speaker for nearly a year and I'm absolutely in love with it. Sound is incredible for the size and it has great bass (sometimes too great - have to set it on something soft so it doesn't vibrate the whole table). I bought it for the light show and use it all the time for the lights even when I'm not using the speaker. It gets toted around the house with me like a portable electronic lava lamp. It is a bit heavy and isn't as portable as some of JBL's other speakers, but that's the only downside. This product is one of my favorite purchases, and I plan on getting another one at some point.
I got this speaker a while ago now I think it was about 6 months ago. I like how there are lights on it and stuff but it’s not really a good speaker for portable and on the go. This would be because the speaker to see the lights is made out of plastic which can easily get scratched or cracked. This is what scares me every time I take the thing with me outside or to a place with me in my bag. I’m always constantly worrying about it because it costs so much money. The bass on it is good and so is the 360° sound but it just doesn’t sound as good anymore compared to all the new speakers and it’s only a 20 watt speaker and it’s $330 which is a lot of money. I really liked this speaker at the start but now I don’t even use it because I don’t want to accidentally break it ... MoreI got this speaker a while ago now I think it was about 6 months ago.

I really liked this speaker at the start but now I don’t even use it because I don’t want to accidentally break it or scratch it. This speaker is good with the lights and all but you’ve always constantly got to be really I feel cautious on where you are putting it. I was walking out my patio door one day when I accidentally hit the speaker into the door and it cracked the black plastic stand on the bottom of it and it was only a light hit and the door is made out of wood that isn’t that strong so it surprised me when it cracked like that on the black stands. This is why I haven’t really wanted to use it as much since. There should be some protective part on the speaker that you can put onto it if you are going to take it somewhere.
Summary:I got this in the mail and the first thing I noticed was the sheer girth, this guy is thick. And should be so because of that 7,260 mAh battery lodged in there with space for the passive radiator, but that thickness is mainly due to the thickened plastic to protect the internals.The reason for the durability is quite obvious, the "plastic" surrounding the entire thing. Indeed is feels like a rock solid device, but the fact that plastic is plastic, and plastic can crack and scratch. But I do not foresee it doing that if you take care of it.Audio:The highs are well and pronounced, as well as the bass in enhanced slightly (from my perspective) to give it that "umph". I will say, the treble is something to be desired, it's that middle range that suffers ... MoreSummary:I got this in the mail and the first thing I noticed was the sheer girth, this guy is thick.

I will say, the treble is something to be desired, it's that middle range that suffers the most. The highs have to pick up most of the work, voices are fine and stringed instruments. But anything that requires a mid range sound, it's lost to the highs and lows.The 360 degree nature is also nothing to scoff at, I was walking around my kitchen trying to pick out anything wrong or any weird distortions. I couldn't pick up anything. It's great for the middle of the room, but I found it sounds very weird pushed against a wall, I'd say at least a foot or two of distance.What I'm not saying is that this sounds awful in the slightest. Instead, I find this as the only bad thing. I was genuinely blown away at the great quality of said audio. There are some ares that I would like improved, but for what it offers, I cannot complain.Light show:Let's be real, if you're buying this, you're buying it for the show. I will say it doesn't disappoint either. There are four basic modes out of the box thanks to the button on the top. The one people will use most is the Visualizer, or the one that "shows" what's playing. And that does a very accurate job of representing the sound that is being played at the time. The camp fire is my other personal favorite and tries to best represent a fire, but falls short due to a fire's unpredictability. But it's awesome nonetheless and would choose either without problem.Over all this thing is awesome. I would recommend this to anyone looking for good audio quality and an awesome light show all in one package.
I bought this a week ago and it's pretty cool. I felt kind of silly to spend so much money on a shiney new toy, but Harman customer service was nice and made it easier.The speaker itself is good not great quality, sound wise. I'm not too, too into the bass, and I've mostly been listening to it on low volume, so make of that what you will. But I got it for the lights, to be honest, and the thing is cool. I love hanging out in warm summer nights with housemates with this, or showering in the dark with it. I can't imagine anybody grabbing it in their hands like in the photos, though. It's also like 2.5lbs and I'm nervous to touch the fiberglass.One thing worth remarking is that Ive had a lot of problems with JBL chargers, but the Pulse comes with a microUSB ... MoreI bought this a week ago and it's pretty cool.

I don't think the same issues I've seen before will be a problem.. The thing also has a great battery life and charges quick, so that's a plus.I think maybe the light settings could have a little more to them? As it stands now, you pretty much have the choice between 4 (decently cool) presets with a somewhat limited color palette or a "custom" setting which is just.. a lot. I guess I do notice the lights do "move to the music" but I wish certain settings (like the wave one) could go slower for slower music. That'd be really cool and easier to watch, more like a lava lamp than a psychedelic trip type thing.But ya, try it out. They have nice free *fast* shipping (or at least they did when I bought it) and it seems like you can return it for a while. Bug 'em enough you might even get a discount :-)
