My speaker is loud and clear , not too big alittle heavy but I like that, but make sure u check for charging cord in a little thin box on the inside . I love all kinds of music , from k pop to dark academia to rock in English and Spanish and I now will have something I can drag along wherever I wanna hang out or be from sitting in the back yard or just hanging out in my room . The colors are amazing and it’s easy to change those and it’s in general easy to use. I recommend getting your self one.

my daughter loves this

Reviewed in the United States on February 21, 2024

Style: SpeakerColor: BlackVerified Purchase

My daughter wanted a speaker to use when listening to the music on her phone or computer. But the volume wasn't great. She had said she wanted this brand and I was lucky enough to find this one on sale before Christmas. She loves the light it puts off but the sound is amazing. I don't hear it all the time but was there a few weeks ago and she turned it on so we could listen to music and oh my it was great. She didn't even have it up very loud but it filled up her whole apartment. I would recommend this speaker.

The media could not be loaded.

1st sound quality is great, 2nd durable I have taken a shower with it I have let my child play with it and nothing has happened yet. Grate if you have a kid and want him or her to be hypotenuse with the colors of the speaker. As you can tell in my all clip it's been through hell ( my son playing with it ) and back. Last but not least battery life is great as well.

No tin sound at all. I've been usually this almost every day for the past year, and so far I have zero complaints. Best speaker I've bought so far. I do listen to metal, and you can hear every lyric and musical detail. So much depth. I love it! The battery lasts forever, too. Absolutely perfect.

Great product, not very portable

Reviewed in the United States on July 3, 2020

Style: SpeakerColor: WhiteVerified Purchase

Let me start this off by saying I love JBL and I think they make really high quality products. My friend first introduced me to the Pulse 4 when he showed up with it one day at his house. Now this speaker is really fricking cool. The lights are super cool, I really enjoy that you can control the brightness of the lights, the custom setting is cool (if a bit seizure inducing), the lights are gorgeous with no pixels at all, the sound quality is good considering it’s only got one speaker on top unlike most JBL speakers and it’s overall just a really cool speaker for any occasion.

My only issue with the Pulse 4 is the fact that it’s glass. Granted, the glass makes the lights about 10x cooler; however, THIS SPEAKER IS NOT PORTABLE. The fact that 90% of the speaker is glass means that this thing is a major pain in the neck to take anywhere. Even just moving it to another room is hard. The lack of non-glass surface area means any contact leaves smudges if you’re holding the glass or pushing every single button and/or risking dropping the speaker and damaging it considering it is glass and very fragile. Any attempt to protect the speaker with a case defeats the purpose of the speaker lights.

Overall I really like this speaker and think it’s a really good investment (when it’s on sale). I got it for something like $157 and I really like it. I use for almost everything (really cool in the shower). Would definitely recommend it to anyone considering it. 4 stars out of 5

Calidad de sonido muy recomendable

Reviewed in Mexico on February 25, 2020

Style: SpeakerColor: BlackVerified Purchase

Rapidamente, si la recomiendo. Si prefieres fidelidad en lugar de ruido esta es tu bocina.
Ej. Una Megaboom se escucha más fuerte pero la Pulse 4 se escucha mejor. Los bajos son increibles, separa muy bien las frecuencias.
En contra podría poner el precio, pero la bocina se siente de muy buena calidad, no le pide nada a una BOSE revolve. El peso si es bastante, no recomendaría traerla de allá para acá por que parece que si se puede dañar. La luz al principio es muy llamativa pero con el paso de los días ya ni siquiera le pones atención. Eso si, cuando tienes invitados en casa todos quieren verla cambiar de color y es super llamativa, todo mundo quiere agarrarla y la llenan de manchas de dedos. La batería es buena peeero obvio no dura lo que dice, pero nada diferente a otras. Dura menos que una charge 3 y mucho menos que las UE boom 2 y Megaboom.
En fin lo pondría así; La Megaboom se escucha más fuerte, mucho más, pero la Pulse 4 tiene mucho mejor sonido. Pero la UE boom2 y la megaboom son muy resistentes, lo digo por experiencia, se me han caido varias veces y siguen trabajando como si nada.
Otra cosa que me gusto es que es USB-C peeeero no trae cargador, ya sé que puedo usar el de mi celular, pero por el precio debería incluir un cargador y no nada más el cable. Ah y no puede usarse como altavoz así que no puedes contestar llamadas, ya sé que no es gran cosa, pero yo si lo he usado, he contestado llamadas desde la bocina como las UE Boom 2 sobre todo cuando tienes las manos mojadas o simplemente para que todos hablen con alguien que llama.
