If you want to only connect connect plus speakers together and don't plan on getting another jbl speaker with connect plus, get the pulse 3, but if you are thinking of getting another jbl speaker on the future, get the pulse 4 because it has USB type- c charging and party boost, which is not compatible with jbl connect plus speakers, only partyboost compatible speakers. If you are not gonna get a newer jbl speaker get the pulse 3, but if you want type-c charging and future proofing with partyboost get the pulse 4.

[@basilismakr.1236]

In my ears and wearing headphones my opinions is : You can clearly notice the bass difference between them , pulse 3 has better bass . But pulse 4 has more clear sound because the speaker is on top . if i had to choose, i would go for pulse 4 . I dont mind losing a little bass because im getting clearer 360 sound and better rgb lighting formation .

The pulse 3 sounds better from what I can hear in this video.

[@thetophalfofapickle2342]

I dont like the pulse 4's off setting idk man i think when the pulse 3 is turned off the pulse 3 has this black screen instead of a blurry white plastic screen behind. That makes the pulse 3 look more professional even when its turned off. Not only that but the pulse 3 has better sound quality and it has speakers at not only the top and bottom sides of the cylinder but also around it, making sounds far better distributed.

[@darylcribb6324]

The Pulse 3 still got more of bassy sound than the pulse 4

[@fa14bi-78]

The Pulse 4 has boosted highs, but the frequenzy range is less compared to the Pulse 3. an 57mm driver = 12000-14000hz highest. For some people already unnoticeable.

[@steve31785]

I know that it says that you can shake the Pulse 4 to sync your light show with one or many pulse 4s, but will they actually sync up completely or will it just go to the same mode as if you scrolled through with the light mode button until you got on the same mode as the original Pulse that you are trying to connect to? For instance, if you were to put 2 or 4 of them right next to each other and you synced the light show, would it actually look like one blob of light going up and down or would the light go up and down at slightly different moments between the connected pulse 4s? Hopefully this question makes sense. Thanks

[@speakerpat]

The Pulse 4 forgot the mids in the factory, damn does it sound muffled

[@bassmaker4real197]

I just bought a like New JBL Pulse 3 in box at my local pawn for 80$ I love it sounds awesome

[@PackardKotch]

Imma be honest the pulse 2 and 3 look much more elegant. The 2 is very utilitarian whereas the 3 kinda just has an elegant vibe with that bottom mesh.

[@c2dholla]

Seems like the p4 doesnt get as load and they switched from base to treble in the p4

[@hospitalller]

Imho the p4 has alot of room for improvement both in looks and in substance. The black edge, the connectors being at an awful place, the single driver and single reflector, even the lightshow is dull looking at it through that dark edge. The mids and highs are better but that can be irritating in most songs adding hissing. 3 drivers with 2x double bass transducers and 2x double bass relectors places the p3 as a different animal but have to admit in some cases p4 sounded better, amazing sound enginnering. Waiting for the p5 before retiring my p3.

[@mkomatee6350]

[@RealTalk532]

The Pulse 3 is better looking in my opinion, not a fan of the black bars of the Pulse 4 even tho the whole speaker is a lamp.

[@youngtk7993]

I think the JBL Pulse 4 lights is not fully glow to the top of the speaker, I saw video people open their pulse 3 and pulse 4, the length of the led strip of both if these are nearly the same, but pulse 4 is shorter and it has plastic thing that absorb some light at the top to make it glow a little bit to the top, maybe pulse 5 can fix that by using some mirror reflecting system to maintain the full glowing effect of the entire pulse body, nice review, still thinking to get either one of these, lights or sound,,,,, personally an audiophile and a violinist, also got a xtreme 1 and xb30.

[@ESEMI0015]

Better visual presentation for pulse 4 better quality for pulse 4 but is this a stereo sytem? Must check specification, where is the tape for install for body in outdoor mode ? Thanks DLX for test

Could you connect pulse 3 and pulse 4?

[@oscarnavarro8604]

Personally I don't like at all the new design, the lights and sound in pulse 4 are good but I don't think that's enough evolution coming of the 3. Considering quality and price I might go for pulse 3 now.

[@SonicSouz]

I think it's the opposite from what I see in the comments. Design looks great, but the sound improvement is not there.

[@MrHahaveryhappy]

I bought the charge 4.. I would be let down if I returned it for a pulse 3 or 4? It would loom good in the house and I think the gf would love it while taking baths. No more candles to light up the bathroom and chance of burning my house down lol

[@nismofury]

No connect plus no thanks. They either need backwards compatibility or updates for all for party boost. The sound is going backwards like how jbl use to be. Focusing on clarity with no bass. You need bass jbl. Hear pounding earth shaking bass. The Pulse 3 was borderline missing bass now they have completely no bass. It sounds like a flip 5. Compare it to a flip 5.
