Going back ?
I think there is a "going back" here. By looking also the prices on the Charge 4 going down,the only thing that i can think of is that the one driver on Charge 4,yes giving 30watts but,doesn't giving too much more bass than the Charge 3.
I think this model is a going back to 2 drivers again,same futures,same size same battery,except microphone as the Charge 3. I just got it on my hands and i cant tell its a nice option for this price,the only thing that bother me is what i told in the first place.
PS Sorry for my english.
