JBL CHARGE 5 - Portable Bluetooth Speaker - Gray Renewed

I purchased a refurbished speaker, great savings, it was in excellent condition, I love it! The sound is awesome. I like listening to music while working in my yard. I was wearing earbuds but when I’m sweating they always seem to slip out. Saved quite a bit on refurbished one and loving it. Read more

Love the JBL Charge 5 bluetooth speakers. I like that you can connect the speakers together for a suround sound. I have had a JBL Charge 5 speaker for several years(5+) and it is still working great. I bought 2 more of the Charge 5 speakers. I would buy these speakers again. Read more

I purchased a different brand of EXTREMELY popular portable speaker a month ago. It was displayed along with a JBL FLIP 6. The Flip 6, I felt, was a significantly inferior product. A month after purchasing the other brand speaker, I then had the opportunity to compare that same model of speaker with the JBL CHARGE 5. The result ... the other brand of speaker went back into its box, and then to its maker! This JBL CHARGE 5 is an AMAZINGLY high quality sound system. The look, the feel, the quality of material. and craftsmanship are all TOP SHELF!! The highs are very crisp and the lows aren't muffled. The bass REALLY shines at higher volumes. I also own a larger, 70 watt, portable stereo unit. It has an equalizer function, that is basically a bass boost, and it is about 4 times larger in size than the 40 watt CHARGE 5. When comparing the two of them, the stereo unit does take home the blue ribbon. However, even though the CHARGE 5 is a mono system, it certainly gave the larger unit a run for its money. The CHARGE 5 also has the capability of daisy chaining to another compatible JBL Bluetooth speaker, thus producing an audio sound and projection that is a comparable, albeit psuedo, performance to a stereo unit. I searched out and purchased a case, on AMAZON, for the JBL, along with a protective silicone cradle that included a shoulder strap and a Carabiner clip. I modified the shoulder strap into a handle that works out quite nicely! The battery life isn't the greatest, however, it lasts much longer than the average user would normally utilize the speaker through the course of a 24 hour day. The Bluetooth functionality is awesome. It locked right into the signal and paired up, then connected, in a heart beat. The only REAL negative aspect of this sweet device is the auto power off feature, which is set to power down after an extremely short interval of idleness. This can become a tremendously frustrating nuisance. All and all, I HIGHLY recommend this extremely high quality, elegant looking, well manufactured, water tight, JBL CHARGE 5 portable speaker. It is a bit more of an investment than the its contemporary JBL FLIP series. However, it is far and above the better choice for quality and performance. I do imagine that, if I treat it with care, this well may be the last portable speaker that this ole boy will ever need to buy!! Read more
