    Charge5 has good sound. Better base and mid range than the Flip series. The battery seems to last forever. Easy to pair. Good looking speaker. Not quite as compact as the Flip series, but the all around trade off is worth it.

    There is nothing special about this speaker. I returned it because it didn't have enough bass, nor was it loud enough.

    Just received for Christmas so can’t comment on battery life quite yet. The sound quality is amazing! Gets loud! Haven’t used outdoors yet, but I’m sure it won’t disappoint.

    Sounds great. Purchase this speaker because I needed a speaker for an outdoor video shoot and I was impressed. This JBL can be used for block party. I love it.

    Out of all the JBL speakers that i have bought this one is unsatisfactory the battery life is actually ¼ the battery life they say it should last. I use it at work and i work 8-10 hours and the speaker dies out at 5 hours. I had to purchase a power bank just to try to keep it going till the end of my work day.could you imagine if i tried to charge something.

      We appreciate your feedback. Our JBL Charge 5 should have at least 20 hours of playtime (depending on the music content and volume level). If the unit doesn't meet the advertised playtime hours even at low to mid volume level, there could be a problem with the battery of the unit. If you need more help, please contact our Customer Support, so we can assist you. JBL

    Great sound from a small speaker. Bought this to listen to music while in the hot tub . Does the job. Loud enough, without being a nuisance to neighbors.

    Battery only lasts 5 hrs and return policy is bad!

    The description of the product says that the speaker battery lasts 20 hrs when it only lasts 5 hours... It drains really fast and + the sound is not as high as i thought, at least not for the price of the speaker. I have altec, sony and now a JBL and so far, Altec has given me the return of what i paid for.. Another reason of why i am giving 1 start is because Best Buy only provides 15 days to return the product... now i cant get my money back ..

    Extremely powerful, this little speaker will do just great out by the pool next summer. It's sound is clear as a bell and holds power for a long time.
