A:AnswerHi there, our JBL Charge 4 can be played while charging and when unplugged, has a playtime of up to 20 hours. For more information, please submit a case request so we can assist you: https://support.jbl.com/us/en/customer-service/contact.html
A:AnswerIt should but it doesn't
According to the specs it should play stereo. But the truth is that it's only possible if you use the JBL Connect app which keeps continuously interrupting music.
I have 2 identical Charge 4. Check below my tests results.
TEST 1: Pairing them using the connect+ button on each speaker device they DON'T play stereo. They both play L and R channels simultaneously. So no way to play stereo without the app. Actually it's written in the manual that stereo feature comes from the app.
TEST 2: Pairing them using JBL Connect app. One plays L and the other plays R channel as expected. BUT the music doesn't go directly from the player app that I use (Spotify or Soundcloud in my case), but it goes through JBL Connect app which splits L & R channels. It means it doesn't keep stereo setup when JBL app is closed, in that case you loose the stereo setup. Apart there is the PROBLEM with the music that is constantly interrupted. You can't even move yourself or even worst move a finger. I detected that the problem of interruptions in music when moving yourself is owing to that both speakers are connected to my player device (my phone in plane mode, just bluetooth on), because after pairing using the app both have bluetooth light on. Mobile managing 2 speakers at once makes bluetooth unstable. That is not happening when pairing from the speakers' connect+ button, this way only 1 is connected via bluetooth to the player device (my phone), the other is connected via internal bluetooth channel on the speakers, same that if you play music using jack input without any bluetooth device. It pairs via internal bluetooth which is transparent to the user.
I'm happy with the sound, but a bit unhappy with the lack of stereo without been forced to use a third app.
Hope to be of help.
A:AnswerUnfortunately, you cannot pair your JBL Charge 4 to the Flip 5. Because of technology limitations, our Connect+ enabled speakers are not compatible with our PartyBoost speakers. As Bluetooth technology improves, so do our portable products. The new PartyBoost feature allows you to connect hundreds of other PartyBoost enabled speakers and contains a more powerful Bluetooth transmitter, which allows you to play multiple speakers further apart from each other. For more information on our new PatryBoost products, please reach out to us here: https://www.jbl.com/support-contact.html.
A:AnswerJBL Charge 4 is a portable speaker, and it has lithium-ion batteries. It can be used while it's plugged into an outlet since it has smart circuits that make the unit go into trickle charging when it's full. If you won't be using the speaker and the battery is full, you can unplug it to avoid overcharging.
A:AnswerOur JBL Charge 4 doesn't have a built-in mic and cannot be used as a speakerphone. Music will stop when you get a phone call and will continue once the call ends.
A:Answeryes using the new standard C type connector. Funny for I had just bought a Bluetooth speaker and wasn't happy with the old type cable for charging and my son had just bought this Charge 4 music close to the same bass a bit better but the type C connector is why I returned it and bought the Charge4. I'm an Samsung guy and the wife is am Apple gay. Their 11 was supposed to have the new universal C but didn't have time and read the next IPhone should come out with the C type connector. Hope this helps.

A:AnswerThanks for reaching out. You can see the battery indicator at the bottom of the speaker even if it's not connected to a power outlet. Make sure the speaker is fully charged.
