Great price for a decent portable speaker.

      Embrace your inner jv haha

  • Same as OP, I also bought it last week for 135.. ☹️

      I also bought it last week for 135

      135 what? Cows? Dollars? Chickens?

      • I always hated when my math teacher did that.. Hehe.

      • +1

        I'm pretty sure they meant chickens… But I guess we just gotta wait for their reply

  • +1

    Only black color

    • +3

      Can't go wrong with black. It goes with everything

      • -1

        I like'm black

      • Not complaining about black. 😁

    • Just go to JB or GG and get them to price match, pretty sure they wont care about colour. Black looks the best, unless you’re into dusty pink.

      • But are any of those stores open today?

        • Yes. In Victoria at least public holiday trading hours

      • +2

        Price beat for an extra 5% off at OW

        • Did that since only OW was open in my area.
          JB and TGG closed, but on the upside extra 5% off for me haha

  • How does it compare with Logitech UE Boom 3?

    • +1

      About $35 cheaper and mixed reviews on both. At this price I'll probably jump on this one

    • +5

      I got both and there is an obvious difference. The charge 4 is better in sound quality, loudness and has the ability to charge other devices.

      If you really want to compare UE with JBL, the megaboom provides much better competition, however still lacks the clarity forms on JBL speakers

    • +2

      Charge 4 Has 3.5mm input vs none
      Loses speakerphone functionality
      has USB-C for charging vs Microusb
      20hrs claimed battery runtime vs 15hrs

    • +2

      I found the charge 4 had better bass. I also liked the charge port, will come in handy camping.
      UE has 360 degree sound where as the JBL is only front facing.

      • That's pretty much what I said… Except that yea the 360 Degree sound is one major difference, however most people would rather choose the major sound quality improvement rather than the 360 - Especially at this price point

    • As zackeroo said, boom 3 is not in the same leage with the charge 4. The megaboom is what more comparable to the charge 4

  • Thanks OP picked on up

    • Are any Harvey Normans open today…?

      • +1

        Negative, placed an order for c&c tomorrow

  • Great speaker still use it to this day.

  • Wat… I bought this for $150 and thought that was a good deal :(

  • -3

    I got a JBL Link 20 for $195 at Officeworks. With Google Assistant, that seems better value for money.

  • Great speaker for a brilliant price. Got one for $120 a month ago for a present.

    I went with the Sony XB41 for myself. Has a lot of useless features and you need to turn the extra bass off, but the sound is perfect and battery lasts forever.

    I'd prob get the Charge 4 in hindsight just for the connect feature.

  • Bummer. Bought from GG for $116 a few weeks ago. Good speaker.

    • Same here, bought it for 116 from one of the ebay sale

  • +1

    Sounds a bit tinny and distorted when you turn it up

    This is a mono speaker whereas the JBL3 was Stereo

    For $99 it’s still an ok deal

    • Thanks I didn't know about this

    • +1

      I just got this and I haven’t quite broken them in
      But what I can hear: quite distorted at high volumes with lots of bass (e.g hardstyle) but otherwise it’s okay. Bass is okay but a little subtle if you want the oomph.
      Another thing to note: this thing is heavy!

      Good deal for $99

  • Only deal breaker for me is that its MONO..GG still a good deal tho for those wont bother with mono speaker

    • what does it matter? Stereo is only useful when you have two speakers in different parts of the room.

  • Can confirm great speaker.
    Was hoping for a deal on the extreme 2 but no luck.

  • Thank you OP. Just what I was thinking of getting so picked one up.

  • well if you buy two then you can turn it into stereo.

    i think 2 x 99 jbl speakers are still a good deal.

  • +1

    is this better than bose soundlink mini?

    • +1

      I want to know this too.
      Missed out on the last deal and was waiting for another one but I may not have to bother if these are comparable / better.
      Edit: Seems to be a winner (https://superiordigitalnews.com/jbl-vs-bose-vs-beats-best-bl…)

      • +2

        Yes. I have compared both. This one sounds better than the Bose soundlink mini.

        I think the Bose mini is a tad too small to create the bass

        • +1

          Came here to say this..

          I find Bose sounds a lot sharper and crispier.. but it lacks the bass when you just want to turn the music up and blast it for a backyard gathering.

    Great deal. Best Bluetooth speaker under $200

    I got mine on sale for $135

    If anyone is considering a Bluetooth speaker this is the one you want.

    Great sound quality, 20hour battery, great Bluetooth range, waterproof, robust, and loud. I have it in my kitchen when cooking.

    • How about Bose mini SoundLink II.? Does it sound better than that?

      • Yes. Quite a big difference in size too

    • Exactly what I want it for, when I'm cooking. The HN I went into a few days ago had about 30 of these stacked up for $135 each.

  • Awesome! Grabbed a couple. Thanks OP.

    Just picked one up from Office works with price beat :)

  • Cheapest ever!sound much better than flip 4.

    Just price matched at the Braddon, ACT officeworks for $94.95.
    There are two left as at 14:40 at the Braddon store and limited stock at Fyshwick.

  • +1

    I have this speaker, it pumps. Great purchase.

  • Missed out.

  • OOS

  • Woohoo I picked one up at JB with the price match this morning. Thanks!

  • Can I get two and make one the left channel and one the right channel from my iPhone playing tidal or Deezer music?

  • Expired, back to $149

  • +1

    Got the price match at JB just before it expired. Thanks OP!!

    • Receipt please

    • Same boat here, thanks OP.
      Had to wait nearly 40 mins to be served/check stock levels, but it was worth it. Seeing now that it expired just after I purchased, I'm lucky I scraped in.

      Receipt here, probably too late

      Very happy with the speaker too btw. Have had a few cheap ones (Xiaomi X2, and bluedio) and this blows them away. I see the value, particularly at this price.
      Makes me wish I hadn't bothered setting up my old Logitech 2.1 in my pergola now. It certainly goes louder of course, but frankly I rarely have cause to turn it up that far.

      • A bit of a high roller hey? Flicking that cash

  • Dumb question.

    • Would be good if you could reply to that relevant question.

  • I had the 3 and it was very boomy boomy. Loved it but just didn't use it enough to justify keeping it.

  • Oh shoot.. I bought the UE megaboom 3 for $140 the other day

  • Awesome price for an awesome speaker!
    I also paid $135 for mine two weeks ago =(
