JBL CHARGE 5 - Portable Waterproof IP67 Bluetooth Speaker with Powerbank USB Charge out 20 hours playtime JBL

Really bad A speaker. Great size and sound quality. Definitely comparable to the much more expensive speakers like Bose. Holds a charge for a long time and goes on sale often so a great value for the price. Loud enough to use outside or at the beach. Easy to connect to Bluetooth. Get a case and carry it anywhere. Really durable water and dust resistant so no worries using it on the lake at the beach or anywhere you want to hear your music. Read more

Nice speaker, long battery life. I got it for the wife. She really liked it, specifically the color. It has a nice sound with a light thump bass. I feel this is JBL flagship portable speaker. Its the correct size to take with you anywhere. You can get a hard case for it or a silicone sleeve to protect it. It charges via USB-C; you can charge your phones or other devices via USB-A cable. It doesn’t drop the connection. Its a plug and play and you have a free app for it to adjust play modes and EQ. Its not that heavy, its dust proof and waterproof. Read more

I bought the JBL Charge 5 as a Christmas gift for my partner, and it turned out to be the perfect choice. They’ve been using it nonstop ever since, and we’re both really impressed by how powerful and clear the sound is for such a compact speaker. The bass is strong without being overwhelming, and the mids and highs are crisp even at higher volumes. It’s loud enough to fill a room or even use outdoors without losing audio quality. We’ve used it for everything from morning podcasts to evening backyard hangouts, and it delivers every time. One of the standout features is the battery life. We easily get a full day’s use out of it, and the fact that it can charge other devices with the built-in powerbank feature is a huge bonus. It’s convenient not having to pack an extra charger when we’re on the go. Pairing is simple and fast with Bluetooth, and the JBL PartyBoost feature is great if you have more JBL speakers to link up for a bigger sound. We haven’t used that yet, but it’s nice to know it’s there if we expand our setup. Overall, my partner was genuinely thrilled with this gift—and I honestly think I’ll end up getting one for myself too. It’s an excellent speaker with premium sound, long battery life, and a rugged design. Highly recommend it to anyone looking for a portable speaker that doesn’t compromise on performance. Read more

For so long, I convinced myself I didn’t need it, and yet when there was a discount on it, I concluded with one thing. I needed it. So of course I had to buy it and boy oh boy, is this such a great speaker. Speaking on size, this speaker was a lot bigger than I imagined. It’s a lot bigger than the Charge 3, which was pretty big in my eyes, but this feels a lot bigger. I wouldn’t say it’s the most portable speaker, unless you have a very large bag or are comfortable carrying it around. This thing will definitely be staying at home with me 80% of the time. As you can see, this thing is a lot bigger than the Flip 6 while being a lot smaller than the Xtreme 2. Speaking on the quality, this thing looks absolutely amazing. I simply love the aesthetic look and the green just looks amazing alongside the Flip 6. It feels incredibly sturdy to hold and it feels lightweight! And from my experience, the battery life is pretty fantastic, but I don’t believe it is the full 20 hours like advertised. And charging does take a bit, but the speaker being USB-C is a major convenience. Finally, let’s talk about the sound. When I compared it to the Flip 6, I was quite impressed. For the size difference, the Charge 5 comes across as much louder and retains much of its bass as you put the volume up, and against the Xtreme 2, I’m surprised at how well it held off on it’s own. I definitely prefer the Charge 5’s sound signature over the Xtreme’s. The Charge 5 is a bass monster and you can really feel it during a lot of songs. With the adjustable EQ within the JBL app, I was able to tune the speaker to how I’d like, which is always a helpful feature. Overall, the JBL Charge 5 is a loud, powerful, but also attractive and trendy looking speaker. In terms of whether you should buy this over the Flip 6, it’s really up to what you need. If you a small speaker you can easily carry around, get the Flip 6. If you want a souped up, larger, but also more powerful speaker that is a little more difficult to take on the go with you, but that’s not an issue with you. Get a Charge 5, but also wait for a discount. Read more
