Customer Ratings & Reviews

Bought this because my rental car had no radio. Talk about frustrating but ended up keeping this thing because it WHAMS! Love it.

Unit has nice sound. Good build quality from a reputable manufacturer.

I used to have the JBL Charge 3 and wanted to upgrade my speaker after so many years. I ended up coming back to JBL upgraded version and I promise you that you will not be disappointed. It has way too much to offer especially with being able to charge other devices.

Perfect Speaker for fishing on my boat! Super clear and loud would recommend

Awesome little speaker! Sound is fantastic! Links easily to my phone!

Very good sound. Real good battery performance too. And it will charge your phone when it’s about to die

Works great and we always use it when we are by the pool, has amazing sound

Small speaker, great big sound! This speaker has amazingg sound especially for smaller spaces. However, when using it outside, it doesn’t disappoint either. JBL has really stepped up with their products.

This speaker is amazing. The sound quality is great. I use it out by the pool and the sound is like a live concert.

The speaker device is really good and it works well outside or at the beach. The quality is amazing when listening to different genres. highly recommend this!!

Great sound and it stays charged a long time as well.

Great, sounding speaker I use it when I’m outside working on the yard and I can hear from over 100 feet away

I was a great gift for a friend he love it and purchased another one

Great speaker. Not compatible with all other JBL. Over all battery life is great.

The bass on this speaker is SUPER AMAZING but the downside is that if you wanna blast your music on this speaker the battery life will be shorter then 20 hours and you can’t connect it to your JBL charge 4

Best one with good sound and waterproof to enjoy outdoor parties and a long battery life which lasts a whole day.

Great speaker perfect for gathering easy to connect to your phone

Sounds pretty good. The range is very good. Battery life has been great.

2nd one to purchase. These are a rock solid little speaker. Long lasting per charge. This one happened to be a gift for a friend who has been around when I have mine in use. He is loving this speaker.

I had originally purchased a Charge 3 years ago. One of my brothers also had a 3. They are great for syncing together at family events and my other brother was the convinced to buy the Charge 4 and wanted to borrow mine. After trying to sync my 3 with his 4, I read up on upgrading the firmware to make it compatible with the 4 (Jbl Connect to Jbl Connect+). However my other brother with a 3 didn’t want to upgrade because he often synced his with a friend that still had Connect. After forgetting my Charge 3 at home while on a two week trip, I purchased a Charge 5 expecting it to be able to sync with others via Connect+. Im disappointed to discover that now there is another update that is not backwards compatible with syncing old models. This was a main reason why i bought it. They other thing i really liked about the Charge 3 was the ability to use it as a external phone charger when needed. Unfortunately, while the Charge 5 does have a USB port for charging external devices, it doesn’t really work for the latest phones like iphone 13 Plus. Also the missing prev track and next track buttons. Overall, I would recommend anyone with a Charge 3 or 4 to stick with those models, because the charge feature is no better on the 5 and a slightly better sound quality doesn’t make up for the lack of backwards compatibility.
