Customer Ratings & Reviews

First and foremost, dang. Just wanted to upgrade my speaker to something with a little bit more sound quality, without breaking the bank. While this is a more costly unit, it’s worth every cent. This gives you bass to tha face when blasting that 90’s rap. Crispy, super bright tones when rocking out and it’s not drowning with the sound of the mini subwoofer like I’ve heard in most others. This thing sounds phenomenal whether you’re at the absolute lowest setting and (obviously) the loudest. Washed my car the other day not paying attention where my speaker was, to say the least it’s definitely pretty water resistant. It also took a decent fall to concrete and it just bounced like a ball. I mean it would take some actual effort and neglect to break one of these, or ruin it with water. Would recommend to anyone for any needs, especially the job site.

I love this JBL charge 5 spraker it's awesome to listen to music on and the sound is awesome with plenty of Bass and loud music when using the speaker

Very good product sound is great and the quality of sound very good

Just what I was looking for. Small and portable, but big sound! Great for the lake or beach, and the ability to charge your phone with the speaker really makes this a great little speaker. And... got it on sale! Win-win-win! Very happy with my purchase.

I bought this from the York store, a friendly team that couldn't do more to help. I had heard the smaller Flip 5 and fell in love with it's punchy sound with a surprising bass extension given it's size. As we do a lot of travelling I thought the Charge 5 with it's power out would come in useful given all my family members have devices. The additional and smooth tweeter gave a noticeable sheen to every instrument and it definitely had extra warmth and bass-whump (probably not a real word) over it's little brother. It came in very useful for watching lap-top videos in the evenings, and in spite of being mono it absolutely nailed the powerhouse soundtrack so important in helping to create the emotional drama of S4 of Stranger Things (our nightly fix when indoors) and although will never compete with a full-range HiFi, does a very competent job in rendering the detail found in more intimate music, rendering the subtle grain in the voice of Damien Rice and being able to define the leading edge to the piano of Bill Evans. Acoustic bass was very tuneful and was convincingly solid enough for me. So all-in-all a very chunky and well made product, no hesitation in recommending to this that hate the sounds from their tablets, phones and laptops!

This is a great speaker. It has great sound, holds a charge forever, and easy to connect to, We take it to the pool or beach and love the sound and features.

We got 2 charge5’s when they were on sale. I had the 1st gen jbl flip for years and loved it. No other bt speaker we’ve had came close to the quality of sound it had. The charge5 is much louder, and bigger. I kinda wish I’d bought 1 flip and 1 charge 5, because I miss the easier transportability of the flip’s size. Jbl has an app you can download to access the speaker and tune the equalizer to your preference. The sound is impressive. It does not come with a sleeve like the flips used to. Also, not sure you get twenty hours of battery. We’ve only tested it once, and it spent some time in the car in exceptionally hot weather, not sure if that affected it, but we got about 10-12 hours without charging. The sound quality is still far beyond anything else that we’ve owned owned. I can’t speak to the durability yet, because we just haven’t had them long enough, but they seem pretty solid. Very happy with the purchase thus far.

Connects with my other speakers. Decent bass, volume, and pretty easy to use.

Best portable speaker I have ever purchased! Very professional and gets the job done! I highly recommend this 10/10

Great sound and easy setup. Can’t go wrong with JBL products. Bought this for my son who is going off to college and he loves it.

CAN NEVER GO WRONG WITH A JBL. Perfect size for everyday activities.

I really have enjoyed this speaker since purchasing it. I like the feature of being able connect to other jbl speakers and amplify the music. I would definitely recommend this speaker to anyone thinking of buying one.

For a speaker on the smalled side this thing is pretty loud. I purchased it to give it as a gift and they loved it. We used it all night and were very satisfied with it.

Absolutely blown away by the JBL Charge 5! From its sleek design to its powerful sound, this portable speaker is a game-changer. The bass is deep, the highs are crisp, and the overall sound quality is superb. Plus, its long-lasting battery life keeps the music going for hours on end. Whether I'm at the beach, camping, or just hanging out at home, the Charge 5 delivers an immersive listening experience every time. With its durable build and waterproof design, it's the perfect companion for any adventure. Couldn't be happier with my purchase!"

Bought this as my sisters birthday present and she loves it

I somehow blew my JBL charge three, so this was a great replacement. At one point it wouldn’t turn off, so I had to follow instructions to reset it by holding down the Bluetooth button, and the play button simultaneously for a few seconds. Other than that, it’s a great speaker, even though it is very pricey.

Great bluetooth speaker. Also bought a small bluetooth transmitter that I connected to my stereo receiver. It worked perfectly for a college graduation party that we had for my daughter in the backyard. Lots of dancing and fun.

JBL is a brand that I have used and trust for a long time. It is a great quality product at a great price, I would highly recommend it!

Packs a lot of boom for a lil box! Love it! Sound quality is excellent! I've purchased several of these type of jbl speakers and we live them all!

Bought this for my wife and she loves it, and i also steal it to go in my shop and it has great sound. We also bring to the beach. I recommend this speaker.
