The newest iteration of JBL’s Charge Bluetooth speaker series, the Charge 4 represents everything we know and love about JBL and then some: rich, room-filling sound, impressive durability, and functional versatility. Read on to learn more about how the Charge 4 can get your get-togethers jiving, jumping, and bopping. And then enter this contest for a chance to win a JBL Charge 4 of your very own. We’ve got four to give away!

Parties are good for your overall health

I’m no doctor, and although I’ve seen my share of TED Talks, I’ll ask you to please take my findings with a grain of salt. But in my 32 years on this planet, one thing seems more and more evident: A happy life = better health. Now, there are a multitude of components that comprise a happy life, but the more I read the literature and watch the videos, I’m convinced that one event combines more than a couple of these components: a party. My definition of party, by the way, is two or more people coming together for the purpose of enjoying food, entertainment, and each other’s company. I’m not just talking about a 20-hour group rager, although I don’t disapprove of those kinds of get-togethers either (in moderation.)

Here’s why I believe parties are good for your health:

  1. Social: Loneliness creates mental health issues and impacts longevity. A party isn’t just about letting loose, it’s a ritual of belonging: people come together to connect with and be a part of their community.
  2. Music: Music changes your perspective and transforms your mood. It improves your blood circulation and lowers your levels of stress-related hormones, such as cortisol. Music also strengthens emotional regulation and promotes benefits in attention and memory.
  3. Dancing: Not just a great cardiovascular workout, dancing is like a visit to the gym—but fun! Dancing strengthens bones and muscles, improves balance, and even staves off illnesses. You don’t have to be a phenomenal dancer to reap the benefits, you just have to move your body to the beat!
A good party doesn’t have to incorporate all three of these components, but a great party usually does. All you need is a select soundtrack and a speaker that pumps out the playlists with enough power to do each song justice. That’s where Charge 4 enters the narrative.

JBL Charge 4 makes a good time great

Charge 4 is just the ticket for planned parties, impromptu get-togethers, and chillaxing hangouts. It pairs with your smartphone for wireless Bluetooth streaming, and can even connect to another smartphone at the same time, so you can share DJ responsibilities with a friend. A specialized driver and dual bass radiators deliver full spectrum sound that immerses everyone in the anthems that are sure to get them moving and having a great time.
Charge 4 is made to go where you go. Think about it. It’s easier to bring great audio to the people than to bring the people to great audio, which means portable speakers like Charge 4 make it easier than ever to get a great party started. Gentle handling is fine, but Charge 4 has Keith-Richards-like longevity. This road dog will survive the rough-and-tumble of an on-the-go lifestyle filled with parties in different places. It can even withstand a plunge in the pool or having a glass of water thrown in its face!
Twenty hours of playtime means this Bluetooth speaker also possesses enough stamina to go the distance at one of those non-stop ragers I mentioned earlier. And because all our music is accessed on our smartphones these days, JBL Charge 4 works double duty as a power bank, so you can connect your phone via USB and charge while your songs play.
You can sync up to 100 JBL speakers when you want to amp up the sound to epic proportions, so if any of your friends own a JBL speaker that’s Connect+ enabled, ask them to bring it along. Now you’ve got a great party on your hands!

  2. Music – this speaker will allow our family to enjoy all our favourite music in our new backyard

  3. I will go with MUSIC since it is both my pick-me-up and relaxant at home and in the car, on my treadmill and falling asleep. And without music, there would be no dancing!

  6. My family is always in the kitchen and would love to win this!!!!. Hard to hear the music while making meals with just my phone. Thanks for the opportunity!! Best Buy is my Disneyworld lol!

  7. Music for sure! I’m a big music fan. Getting normal chores or anything done is 100% easier and more motivating if I have good tunes to listen to so this speaker would be amazing! I could be anywhere in the house and listen to music through the JBL Charge 4!!

  8. Social is the most important to me. Don’t get me wrong I love music but I would rather be able to converse with the person next to me civilly rather than yell at them lol

  9. Dancing! Dancing is a way to liberate yourself from things such as stress, awkwardness or sadness. It also enhances relationships, allows you to connect with others

  10. Music definitely livens up any social event! The JBL Charge 4 would save me from having to listen to party music through a cheap speaker from a beer promotion!

  11. Work in a kitchen and would love to win this to bring with me. Hard to hear the music while doing dishes with just my phone. Thanks 🙂

  12. Music. I like to keep up on new music as well as listen to the great old stuff. Thanks for the great giveaway!

  14. Me and my daughter both love music and are not shy to show off our dancing skills when we are at home. Music is a way we both can connect and share our taste in music. This JBL speaker would great to take on trips to camp and on the boat, the possibilities are endless!

  18. I would absolutely love to win a JBL charge 4, because I love to dance and the sound quality of these products is unbelievable!

  20. Social – having some nice background music relaxes people and contributes to a nice party atmosphere.

  27. Social is the factor that edges out the other 2 choices. It’s connections and laughter and memories. A background of music makes it perfect.

  29. Music for me, I have a rather old car and theres no aux cord or bluetooth. I WOULD LOVE to have this in my car so I finally stop using the radio.

  30. To me, the social component is the most important aspect of a party. The JBL Charge 4 speaker is perfect for a great party because the fantastic sound is just what you need to get the party started and the people moving and interacting.

  34. Music is very important seeing as I am a loser who won’t dance or talk to another soul at a function. JBL will help me drown out the surrounding sounds of social interaction.

  40. The Music component is most important to me and the JBL Charge 4 can enhance it for me by letting me have a great sounding portable speaker anywhere!

  44. Music is the most important component for me, so the JBL speaker would enhance it by allowing the music to be controlled via my phone.

  46. Music is the most important! U build memories with people and songs that last a lifetime. The JBL charge 4 is just in time for outdoor summer patio parties! It would be an amazing asset to our life especially considering it’s durability!

  47. Music….it’s good for the soul…whether you are by yourself or enjoying othe company of others. This would be perfect for the patio!

  50. MUSIC. I love music and I like to relax on my deck in the summer time . I can’t listen to music there because i have no speakers. I’ don’t like earphones or earbuds, so this JBL Charge 4 Speaker would make my day. I could connect it to my Ipod Touch or my phone and my summer days on my deck would perfect. Thank you for the chance to win.
