Customer Ratings & Reviews

I'm actually quite disappointed in this speaker, and I'm a hug JBL fan. I love my Charge4s, and any JBL headphone I've been happy with. But the Pulse5 seems like a huge quality drop. First the Pros- -Has great sound from any direction -Has an easy to use equalizer on the JBL app -The visuals are awesome(my favorite is the Storm setting) -Has a good battery for having lighting (about 10-12 hours on full blast, watch your eardrums though) Now the Cons- -Has no control buttons. No volume, pause, skip, nothing. -PartyBoost isn't compatible with JBLConnect(old speakers) -PartyBoost is only useable about 6ft from each speaker. I start getting skips and pops at 10ft. -You can't use PartyBoost when connected to a PC. I was hoping to use these with my laptop, but apparently it's a hardware incompatibility. -You can cause a feedback loop if 2 speakers are set to the same source and you enable PartyBoost. Thankfully I prevented any damage, but be careful. Overall, I'd say stick with the old speakers, or wait for a sale. Or just buy one and forget PartyBoost. Also the carry handle is just a 2 inch loop of fabric. It's well constructed, and feels very durable, even has grip lines, but its more suited for hanging off a hook than actually carrying it.

sounds great.....good charge life......easy to use.....but no local volume control on the device itself......don't want to have to carry the music source all over all the time........

It’s a nice speaker I love JBL but the battery in this thing does not last, idk if it’s because of the lights but I leave it on the charger for hours and the battery will die in less time than I’ve left it charging, a little disappointing but sound wise it is good and the colors are beautiful and bright.

Good speaker , loved the light show, speaker ended up not being able to hold a charge and was forced to return it.

It take a little bit longer to connect Nice looking item

Pretty nice speaker the color waves give it a nice look, overall for price think it a little pricey but the sound quality is great job never disappoint

No as big or loud as expected. Def won't buy again

Lot less flexibility to play with light options, lot less to choose from. Plus you buy the speaker mainly because of lights.

Look good but sound is sub par for this price. Lots of distortion.

The colors are cool but the sound is sub par. I am returning it.

I have some problems with because stop working n rsn

Got this as a gift good quality definitely worth the money

If you're getting this specifically as a speaker don't it's not that great especially for the price. The highs are extremely harsh and there's not much bass. If you want it because the light feature is cool and just to listen to some tunes in the bedroom or something go for it.
