no Chromecast Audio or AirPlay
tweeters were concealed behind a cloth ring
there is no EQ in the application
it lacks low-bass
no option for going to a previous track
lacks low-bass and can sound a bit dark
Its soundstage is also perceived as more open
This is only measured for speakers and smart screens connected to mains power

disable the light show to squeeze more playtime out of the speakers
Bass response drops off at higher volumes as the small woofer simply
Sony is much bigger making it less portable
no EQ in the app
No speakerphone functionality or aux input
Too much of a good thing can be a paralytic
the elimination of these two key features has been rather disappointing

JBL Pulse 4 battery life

no sharpness and rough in the quality
no flap to cover the USB port
irritating bending sound
isn t of which dangerous yet an individual need to wind up being wary
Pulse 4 is slightly shorter and heavier than Pulse 3
spills or even a tumble in the pool
it actually isn t as bad as I was expecting
Pulse 3 to be a bit bulky
there s no returning to a previous track
the price difference is not immense
the playback buttons are no plastered across the top instead of consolidated onto one
the overall bass does have a little punch and does rumble slightly
doesn t mean portable speakers have lost their mark
indicator glows white and starts to fade as the battery wears down
Shine bright like a diamond
a rainbow
it s hard to get the advertised duration of playback
JBL Pulse 4 doesn t disappoint
