The verdict

If you want to futureproof yourself and get the new JBL Connect+, then this is the way to go for sure. Otherwise, there isn't much difference between this and the Charge 3 before it (though USB-C charging is definitely nice).

✓What we like
✓Good build
✓Gets loud
✓Long battery life
✓Can charge your portable devices
✓USB-C charging
✓Plenty of color options
✕What could be better
✕Basically the same sound as the Charge 3
✕Slightly bigger and heavier than previous model
✕The buttons that aren't lit up are hard to see in the dark
✕Vocals in the mids can get masked by bass
✕No microphone for phone calls
