Buying decision

Should you buy it?

The Live Beam 4 put a touchscreen on the charging case so you can switch ANC modes, skip tracks and check battery without reaching for your phone. Inside, 10mm drivers deliver JBL's punchy, bass-forward sound, with ANC, six mics, multipoint and Bluetooth 6.0. Battery life is rated at 10 hours with ANC and 48 total, and the case charges wirelessly. The default tuning leans bass-heavy, and IP55 means splash-proof, not swim-proof.
