Bought this after using a friend’s, was very impressed with the sound quality and volume as well as the tough woven shell and silicone (I think?) end piece diaphragms. Size is comparable to a nalgene so easy packing in a water bottle pocket. Also liked the aux port for my iPod, though I’ve since bowed down to Spotify and would just as soon get the newer charge 5.
Used a lot last year at work (construction) and partying. battery life is very impressive, will charge my neglected phone and play loudly all day which is real nice.
After four or five months I noticed the cover that protects the charge and aux ports was splitting a little where I had to use a bit of finger nail sometimes to pop it open, especially if my fingers were a little wet.
Despite that little flaw, the water proofness is pretty perfect. I tested the buoyancy of this thing many times while floating and rafting as well as using daily as a lift attendant all winter in a wet snowy wet place. Was planning to ask for a new plug cover, it seems easily enough replaced.
That was until however until the poor little thing was set too close to a bonfire late at night and, by the time I noticed the flames were licking it and grabbed it (still bumping loud tunes) the rubber ends were soft and boiling hot and the fabric weave shell kinda seared my hand. I threw it in the sand and hit the power button with a stick.
Thirty minutes later I turned it back on and the speaker sounded like nothing had happened when by all rights it coulda just blown up. Bonkers.
Soooo I’m not claiming that it’s fireproof or anything but I am claiming that this thing is pretty dang tough. I’ve used and abused the thing since the near meltdown and it sounds great and has great battery life.
That was until however the poor thing fell unnoticed out my passenger side door and sat in the gutter for a night, then got driven over the next morning by my Chevy 1500 when I left for work. I found it that afternoon in the ditch kinda cracked up and real sad looking under a few leaves. Turned it on and bududududuh! It lit right up and connected to my phone.
Sooooo I’m not claiming that it’s invincibly uncrushable or anything but
I will tell you that I’m buying another one soon. My current been-around-the-block-and-under-the-wheel speaker has a little static noise issue every ten or twenty seconds and is a bit quieter after the partial crushing but still good enough to listen to podcasts in my very loud crunchy old truck. Bonkers. Definitely with yer money.
Ohhhk one small add on complaint sorta thing is that the only way to check battery involves turning the speaker on which makes the startup budududuh noise which can be very loud sometimes. Wish there was a way to check battery without the noise. Still gonna buy another though.

5-star product!
I am pleasantly surprised that the product was delivered much faster than planned. Being impatient, I opened the package, and probably the only remark I would make is that there should have been more airbags in the shipping box to protect the product itself. The product is intact, nothing happened to it. I also checked it, it sounds excellent, as was to be expected from JBL. I still haven't used it continuously to see how long the battery lasts, but it will definitely last around 20 hours. I didn't even check it for water resistance; it's my money :). I still think it's still a bit expensive, but it seems that all products of this kind are a bit more expensive. After all ... it's a 5-star product!One of the reasons I bought this product is that it also has the option to charge your phone.
