Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “JBL PULSE 4 Review! 1 Month Later”.
Yo, what’s up guys Victor here with another everything technology video today we’re checking out the JBL’s 2 pulse for Bluetooth. Speaker, as you guys know, I’ve done a video on the JBL pulse 2 and pulse 3. In fact, the post 3 video is one of my most popular videos on the channel. So if you haven’t had the chance to go check that out a card should pop up and links will be down in the description, but anyway, this review is gon na, be coming from a perspective of someone who owns a JBL post 2. So I use that a lot I’ve been using for the past two three years since this came out and I’ve also used the post three. I’Ve done a four of you, as I mentioned earlier, so this is coming from somebody who actually use JBL speakers.
More specifically, the pulse series, so without further ado, let’s take a look at what’s new with the barony JBL pulse, for the first obvious difference is the design the post for now houses full 360 LED lights as compared to the post three, where a quarter of it Had this mesh material, I prefer the design way more because having that mesh material with the post, three looked a little bit awkward. In my opinion, another nice addition with the speaker is USBC, sadly, can only be used to charge a speaker not for a wired connection and for some reason, there’s no headphone jack for Wired playback. It’S not that huge of a deal to me since I only use a speaker with the wireless connection, but for some of you guys who prefer that wired connection, this can be quite disappointing. It looks like Apple and Samsung.
Aren’T the only manufacturers running away from this port even JBL and audio companies running away from the 3.5 millimeter headphone jack was just shows how this port is literally dying. The biggest difference from his previous predecessor with a pulse 4 has to be speaker arrangement as compared to last year’s model, where we have three transducers house and the speaker’s mesh material and dual passive radiators. On top of the speaker.
With this year’s new model, you have a single upward facing transducer and a single passive radiator on paper. It might not look as impressive as a pulse 3, but it sure does sound a hell of a lot better. The passive radiator produces a phenomenal amount of bass for its size, and the upward firing speaker does a wonderful job in bouncing off audio on the walls. Overall, I got ta say that sound quality with the speaker is notice to be better from his previous predecessor.
Here’S a quick audio test, if you guys want to hear it for yourselves, taking a look around the speaker at the top, we have music control buttons, turning around there’s a lighting mode in JBL party boost buttons and, lastly, there’s a backlit power and bluetooth pairing buttons Below the speaker, there’s a USB C charging port, which we did talk about a little bit earlier in this article, and there is a charging light indicator, which also indicates the battery percentage of the speaker. As I mentioned earlier, JBL does have an application that does complement the speaker. Just like its predecessors on the JBL connect app, you can switch between different lighting modes. My favorite one has to be the spiritual one.
It gives it this lava lamp. Look to it. I remember with the JBL post too: you have this dedicated coach sensor on it, but now you can do that straight from the application using your cell phone camera on the app. You can also pair the speaker for a stereo experience with another pulse for or any other JBL speaker that doesn’t have this party boost feature.
This figure is IP 7 rated, so it can be submerged underwater. I was actually watching her via video on this with somebody testing this feature out and their speaker got water damage, but luckily they did get a replacement unit. Jbl has some pretty fire customer support anyway. I’M not saying this will happen to you, but personally I don’t plan on submerging mine underwater.
Moreover, this is the speaker. You don’t want to drop at least that’s how I feel not that it feels really fragile or anything like that. But if you were to drop this on a hard surface, you can damage some of the components of the speaker being that it’s using some premium materials such as that housing. That covers the LED lights.
I feel like that, could crack at any point. If you were to drop it on the wrong way on a really hard surface, they can likely damage that with the new JBL post for JBL is claiming about 12 hours of playback. I didn’t use a speaker for 12 hours straight, but I did use it for a couple days and it still does have some juice left. If you’re gon na have the speaker blasted at full volume, don’t expect 12 hours of playback.
That’S pretty unrealistic, especially if you’re gon na also have the lighting features on full blast as well. I would say about 6 is 12 hours. If that’s the case, however, if you’re gon na be playing this in about 50 % volume with the lighting mode and about 50 % of brightness, then definitely expect over 12 hours of usage. Overall, that’s gon na be from the video.
If you’re, considering upgrading, maybe from the JBL pulse 3, then I probably would simple, because I didn’t look like that mess material covering the LED light show with the pulse, for you get this full 360 look to it, and that looks really nice. And if you want to upgrade from the pulse to and below, then this is worth the upgrade. This has much more features and it sounds much better than the pulse 2. I actually own the post too, as I mention in this article.
I put them side-by-side and this is a much better speaker if you like to see a comparison with the pulse 4 and another speaker. Maybe that’s are considering getting if I get enough requests in the comment section. I’D love to do a video on that. If you have any comments or feedback leave it down in the comment section as well, this has been Victor with another everything technology.
Video. If you like to see what I do outside of YouTube, you can follow me on Twitter Instagram and, like my Facebook page, I’ve Victor’s fits this. One thinking has been Victor with another everything technology.
Video. Thank you for watching. I look forward to seeing you guys in the next article .
