I have both. Looking back, getting the newer Charge 5 was not necessary at all. Financially, it was stupid of me- actually. The Charge 4 is awesome without fault. Charge 5 sounds great also, but there is no reason to get one if you already have a Charge 4. I like both and do not prefer one over the other... Though the Charge 4 does have the Aux input, which is missing in the newer Charge 5. I guess, if you have money to blow, get both, but don't expect a noticeable difference. In my real life use, I can't tell a meaningful difference at all.

Actually both are waterproof and neither have been tested for dust proof. The "IP" stands for ingress protection and the last two digits are the tested protection, the IPX7 and X8 both have been tested for water ingress but if they were dust tested the rating would have a 6 instead of an X. Anytime there is an "X" in an ingress protection rating it means an item has not been tested for that category, in this case they were tested for water but not dust. If they were approved for dust the ratings would be IP67 and IP68, with 8 qualifying for a deeper submersion.

Although if I had one critical thing to say in my opinion that I’ve heard helped me on other videos when doing the video with music comparison I would not stop in between each comparison to let us know which Speaker you’re using that’s taking up too much time to compare a sound you should go back-and-forth very quickly so we can hear the actual comparison when you pause and talk it takes you out of sync with the sound of the music before. Just some critical feedback that I think would help you in the future. But other than that the best video on comparing any JBL speakers.!

Forgot to mention the Bluetooth upgrade I think, but either way it’s cool, but if they added a microphone to take calls and such directly from the speaker, I think it would be worth considering to upgrade. Although I’m not worried about the dust proof rating and the party boost feature sounds cool but I already have a charge 4 and just wanted another for the connect plus feature, now that I know it isn’t supported I’ll just go with another charge 4, in my opinion it’s not bad but they kinda missed the mark with some things they could have done, turning it into a mobile smart device like a google home or such would have been kind of cool

With speakers, preference of how it sounds is apt to prove so subjective as to be uninformative to the prospective buyer. I bought a Charge 5 after listening to a friend’s charge 3. I was going to get a 4, but in buying a refurb 5 I got it for the same price as a new 4. The things mostly discussed in this video are irrelevant to me, since it will only be operated in the house or on the patio. My opinion of the sound is that the 5 is quite good, better highs than the 3, and, I suspect, the 4, since the 5 is a two-way speaker (one having independent tweeter and midrange drivers).

This rating is important for outdoor activities and ensures the device can withstand exposure to water without damage. Devices with an IPX7 rating provide reliable waterproofing for enhanced durability and functionality. Clarity in Truth 🌎✌🌱🎶
