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!

  1. Music is the most important as it sets the mood of the party! JBL Charge 4 would be perfect as it would play the music selection I choose with full spectrum sound!

  2. Music is most important & JBL can enhance it by setting the mood, whether I’m alone or having a gathering, music always can evoke deep emotions.

  4. Social for me, you can set the mood by the background music, play some oldies to get people reminiscing and talking.

  5. music and it would enhance it for me because I can take it with me when I go on vacation in the summer to play music in the cabin we stay at

  6. I would say music is the most important and I would enjoy having music where and when I would like it.

  9. Playing music at the campground and get everyone moving would be a perfect way to use this speaker!

  10. Background music can form the ambiance of any gathering and this speaker would aid in setting the mood to make any gathering or party just awesome.

  11. Music is most important for me. I would simply be able to enjoy songs from my phone without having to wear headphones all the time.

  20. Can’t dance, don’t really like to sing, so I guess it would have to be just listening to music…

  22. Music. I could listen to it whenever and wherever I wanted. That would make me happy thanks to JBL Charge 4.

  23. Dance, the wife and I have impromptu dance moments all the time but this would make it so much better and sound better. It keeps us in shape

  24. Music, I am nothing without my music but it does wear down the batteries this would be amazing to keep me singing and charged

  25. for me, it is all about the dancing. I love to dance and I am not good at all but it makes me feel better.

  26. For me it is social. I really do not get out a lot because of health issues but parties with friends always boosts me up

  27. I think the social aspect of a party is the most important. When people finally have a chance to get together in these busy times it’s good to try and catch up as much as possible.

  28. Music: This would be great for playing some music when I am meditating sometimes it hard to relax when all you can hear is street noise.

  30. Dancing all the way. In the immortal words of David Bowie…”Let’s dance! Put on your red shoes and dance the blues.”
    Nothing better than getting out there and letting go of all your inhibitions. Who doesn’t want to join in with the person who is having a blast on the dance floor. Great way to meet people. Of course there has to be fabulous music and that’s where the JBL Charge 4 will work its magic.

  31. To me the most important aspect of a party/get-together is the social side. Getting to chat with friends/relatives accompanied by soft music as background is wonderful, soothing and entertaining at the same time.

  35. Being social is definitely the most important. Music is definitely the perfect way to bring everyone together. The speaker would help me do that at my next barbecue. We are planning a big one in July.

  36. Social. Have the JBL Charge 4 would allow for background music whenever it can be added which would be great when I am out with people.

  37. Social, no people, no party,that being said music is essential as it sets the mood for the party

  41. The social aspect is the most important but music comes a close second! Wouldn’t be a party without friends.

  49. Music is most important – having this JBL Charge 4 would definitely help set the mood for basketball practices – having it charge my phone while the tunes play is definitely a plus!
