    I have had a jbl charge 3 and 4. Which have performed great. I bought the charge 5 in sept. About a month into it the battery wasnt lastine more than 7 hours. It is now december and on a full charge it will last about 3 hours before blinking red. Ive reset it and tried all the trouble shooting there is, other than replacing the battery. For the price of this thing you would think you would get your moneys worth. Or atleast something that last more than 3 months.Do not waste your money.

    Great product! Sound is AMAZING! The speaker is made of good material and is waterproof to the extent of an accidental spill from what ive tried.

    Excellent sound and lasts quite a while on a single charge. The built in power bank is great when you forget to fully charge your phone.

    I was disappointed that the box had no instructions or a cord. The salesperson was not sure if it should have one.

    Great all around speaker

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    It’s a great all around speaker and time will tell how it holds up. I have an UE Boom for a couple of years. It was time to replace it as the battery was only lasting 1 hour at full volume. Mainly use my speaker for outdoor, beach park etc so it needed to be water proof and durable. So I bought an UE Megaboom. Boy I was so disappointed. It basically had the same sound as my smaller boom just a little louder. I then was looking at several speakers including Sony xb33, xb43, JBL Xtreme 2 and 3, Charge 4 and 5. The Xtreme and XB43 had the best sound with the JBL winning but could not see myself spending $250 and up for a outdoor speaker. Also battery life on the Extreme only had 15 hours. Sony 24 but didn’t sounds as good. After lots of research I bought the Charge 5. The charge 4 currently is a good deal at the moment but the missing extra tweeter speaker on the 5 made a big difference and nice upgrade to go with the 5. The Charge 5 is basically an Xtreme mini. Has well depth in sound highs mids and lows but at a lower volume level but not by much. $180 vs $350 is not a great value to go with the Xtreme as the sound quality is very similar. Also like the fact that the Charge 5 has a 20 hour battery life. I still like my original UE Boom but they need to step it up with the next UE Megaboom 4.
