With the Megaboom 3, you also get frequent firmware updates via the app while the JBL app is sluggish to update and doesn’t allow you to edit any settings. You can connect two source devices (phones, laptops, etc) and eight devices. With the UE app, you can customize the lows, mids, and high frequencies. The Megaboom 3 wins by a lot in this department. It gives you about 8.5 hours at 60% volume and about 6.5 hours at 85% volume.īut where the Charge 4 wins is the fact that you can charge it in 4 hours with its USB-C port, and also charge other devices through it, whilst the micro-USB Megaboom 3 is a little bit slower and doesn’t have that capability. The battery life of the Charge 4’s is similar to Megaboom 3. At-home tests have revealed that the Megaboom 3 supplies 10 hours of battery at 60% and 5 hours at 85%. When comparing the battery life of these two products, it is a very close call. I think you can’t go wrong with either one, and the winner will be subjective to the audience depending on what they value most in a speaker.īy the way, in case you’re interested - we also have a post on the loudest JBL speakers ever made.
