JBL Go 4 Showdown: Compact, Waterproof, Recycled... tested for surprise use cases!

We’ve spent weeks putting the JBL Go 4 through its paces, and it’s lived up to its promise of combining portability with surprisingly robust sound. The charger’s punchy bass and clear highs make it a joy to use, even at smaller gatherings. What really stood out was its durability—our test proved it’s more than just splash-proof; it can handle a dusty beach session and a weekend hike without missing a beat. The 7-hour battery life keeps us entertained for hours, while the recycled material ethos adds an eco-conscious layer. The compact size makes it easy to pack, but don’t let that fool you—its sound performance rivals larger speakers. The JBL Go 4 isn’t just a speaker; it’s a reliable companion for any adventure.
