                The Flip 4 has a run time of 12 hours (Flip 3 was 10 hours) while taking 3.5 hours to fully recharge. The Charge 3, which is built with a larger battery, is able to provide tunes for up to 20 hours while taking 4.5 hours to charge. The Flip 4 operates using Bluetooth 4.2 and the charge 3 uses Bluetooth 4.1.Apr 27, 2017

                Subsequently, the Flip 4 has a brighter sound signature than the Charge 3, which is more bass heavy. As a result, the Charge 3 isn't as detailed as the Flip 4 in the mids and highs. If you're looking for louder volume with good bass the JBL Charge 3 is available at an unbeatable price of $149.95 at Audio 46's Store.Apr 27, 2017
