Excellent Speaker!
||Posted .Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.Excellent quality all the way around. This is my fifth JBL speaker and I’ve never been disappointed. After comparing this with my Charge 4, it definitely has better instrument separation and it gets a bit louder, not really worth it if you already have a Charge 4 in my opinion. Compared to the Flip 5, the Charge 5 has better separation, but overall sounds very similar; the Charge 5 is mainly louder, which is expected given the size difference. I can guarantee that you’ll be impressed with whichever JBL speaker you choose.

!JBL Awesome as always
||Posted .Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.Recently bought the UE Megaboom 3 and was greatly disappointed by its mediocre sound quality. Went back to the store and decided to purchase the Charge 5 instead. Finally got it out of the box and played some music and was instantly amazed by the sound quality of this thing! The !JBL Charge 5 put the UE to shame! It made the Megaboom 3 sound like a toy/can. Definitely one of the best purchases by !JBL I've made!

Great speaker!
||Posted .I’ve gotta say this is a wonderful speaker and to have it be waterproof makes it even better. I take this to the gym with me all the time and man does it bump. Definitely recommended. Only downside is how fragile the sides are because of the subwoofer. Overall happy with my purchase. ❤️

Rugged.
||Posted .Owned for 1 week when reviewed.I am very happy with this speaker. It gives out plenty of sound and is loud enough for the outdoors. It fell off my car the second day I had it and did sustain some damage but only cosmetic. Still sounds great.

Q: QuestionDoes it float
Asked by Anonymous.
- A:Answer The JBL Charge 3 does float. About half of the speaker is submerged while half stays above water. But..... even though it is pretty cool to see the speaker float, it’s still a 180$ speaker, do you want to risk water damage? The sound from the speaker do sound a bit messed up when on the water as the speakers are hitting the water but are not fully submerged.
