JBL Flip 5 vs Charge 4 :Sound Battle -The real sound comparison

[@beactivebehappy9894]

You’re a life saver, man... On a subject topic like this, other people just keep spitting their opinions throughout video and show maybe 10 secs testing. Instead they should do this, invest on as good recording equipment they can manage to make it closer to direct listening.

Charge 4 has three advantages the reviewer didnt mention. Phone Charging, Battery Life AND connectivity beyond Bluetooth. The Charge 4 has an aux input so you can connect to your phone, walkman, tv etc. If im at beach or tailgating I can connect to my phone using the aux input instead of bluetooth - saving phone battery.

I just like the flip 5’s size way more

[@danielbardyn5664]

I've just finished comparing Charge 4 with Flip 5 myself. Here is my observarion ragarding their sound quality. I don't agree sound signature of these two is the same. Flip 5 is brigher. It can play higher frequencies then Charge 4, maybe a little bit too emphasized, but that's just when I'm directly in front of the Flip 5. Charge 4 has a stronger bass band (IMO too much for indoor use) and a bit too much of lower mids. Both speakers sound best at up to about 50% of loudness. At the same percieved loudness (while Flip 5 is at 50% or lower) I prefere Flip 5, because it has better heights and adequate bass. Charge 4 is too boomy for my taste, I like rather flat neutral sound. I did not try the speakers outside, but having more bass will for sure be useful to fill larger space. For easy listening indoors or from close distance, I choose Flip 5. It has more balanced sound and is easier to carrry due to its smaller size and less weight. Charge 4 can get louder, but it does not make me enjoy the music more. I prefere sound quality over loudness and the Flip 5 (at its best 50% or lower loudness) is loud enough for easy listening or a background music while chatting. For party and dancing even Charge 4 is weak, anyway. One remark at the end. Sometimes there is some combination of sounds in a music, that Flip 5 can't play clearly and a digital distortion is audible. Luckily it's rather rare and usually it's there only for a moment, so it's not a deal breaker and I'm very happy with my Flip 5. Charge 4 makes that distrotion too, but it's not audible so much, because it's present mostly in the high frequency band, where the Charge 4 is weaker.

[@addi.1813]

[@danielbardyn5664]

[@jamiethornton6101]

IMO, you just posted the key to all of this. If you want an outdoor speaker, go with the Charge 4. If you want to use this as an indoor speaker with a laptop, go with the Flip 5. I think the much needed gains in the mids and bass is clearly there over the flip 4. The flip 4 was lacking badly in mids and bass. They did a great job with the flip 5 and I use mine with my laptop.

[@youngtk7993]

Agree, totally agree. I compare both of it in the store today, charge 4 yes louder and bassier but other than that. It sounds muddy and squeeky. Flip 5 sounds so nice almost like my Sony XB30. Portability also better. Second reason I get the flip 5 is I already got a JBL Xtreme, it will definitely beat the charge 4 in bass and not as muddy because of the tweeters. Flip 5 beats my Xtreme for portability, self listening quality, and enjoyable in a small room. Why do I need two boomy speakers if the reason for me to get another speaker than my Xtreme is for self and casual listening. JBL flip 5 really packs a lot and means a lot for people already got a big speaker like Xtreme because you dont need a charge 4 if you already got a better choice.

[@n.c.6378]

Congrats. Best review. Your mic makes all the difference. Charge 4, for sure.

[@johnathonoppel393]

The flip5 has a more balanced sound with highest and mids but the highs make it good for its size outside and they literally have the same frequency response but a little tighter on the flip 5 and more boosted and mid heavy

[@jamiethornton6101]

This is simple. Buy both. The reason why is it all depends on where you want to use one of these speakers. If you want one for inside a bedroom while watching a movie on your laptop, get the Flip 5. It's perfect for that and I love mine. The Flip 5 has a lot better mid range and bass than the previous flip 4. If you want to take this speaker outside or you want to have a party where you want a speaker super loud, get the Charge 4. Trust me, you will find that each of these speakers serve a purpose.

[@ypoora1]

I got a Charge 4 for inside, and take my Flip 5 around. The Charge has a fuller, more balanced sound with a deeper bass, which is very enjoyble when listening to music at a low volume indoors.

People rage about that mono speaker too much and 50% of them have never heard real stereo speakers how they sound and how the sound stage is made. It's pretty impossible to have any sort of stereo separation on such small speaker like Charge 4 or Flip 5 when they are just centimeters away from the center. If people really need to have "stereo" sound on small Bluetooth speaker then use some app to create duophonic stereo (faux stereo) effect.

[@adribouss]

No use for stereo on small speakers I think. That's just me.

Don’t forget to look at the Sony XB33. It has a slightly less neutral sound signature with more emphasis on bass and treble. The Charge 4 (which I own) is focused on mids, so vocals are much louder than everything else. I personally don’t like booming music, especially their vocals. So just keep that in mind.

Great video!

[@jamesarmendariz6384]

Not a really full review on both video but maybe I can help a little more... I have both.... If you are looking for more clarity in your music or podcast than get the flip 5 Party Boost... Note that the party boost has twice the range of the charge 4 past 80 yards. So if you're looking for better clarity and you are thinking of multiple paired up speakers than get the flip 5 (Party Boost) at 12hrs battery time especially if there are a lot of walls between speakers. Now the Charge 4 is older but way louder and has more bass but loses a little clarity; you can hear it as it switches back and forth on this video. Charge 4 has a longer battery life of 20 hrs and has a USB port so you can charge your phone or other devices as well as a aux port for those that can't pair or don't have blue tooth capabilities.. The range is still really decent at about 45 yards especially at a home with friends and stuff but just can't pair it with party boost which sucks! So if you have a speaker just for your room or chilling in your backyard get the charge 4 but if you're planning on a party in your home and outside then pair them up with party boost speakers all around .... just tell your friends to bring theirs if they have one.. and both are 3ft water proof and dust proof.. hope this helps..
