                It's possible that JBL may release an update to make them compatible, but there's no guarantee. The Pulse 4 charges via the more modern USB-C (same as most high-end phones coming out this year). The Pulse 3 charges via mini-USB. The Pulse 4 fully charges in 3.5 hours, versus 4.5 hours for the Pulse 3.Sep 18, 2019
