    I bought it open box “excellent”. It was missing the charging cord and it was hardly in “excellent” condition. Scratched up pretty good. Now I get to return it in the Christmas return crowd. Thanks.

    Just got it, and I already don't like it for the simple fact that it doesn't have a rewind button. I need to be able to rewind my favorite songs or else what's the meaning of life. Also the sound is decent, it's not as loud as I expected but it's alriiight.

      We're here to help with your JBL Charge 5. When charging your speaker, it's necessary that you are using the proper power brick/adapter rated at 5V and at least 2A with the cable it came with. This speaker has up to 20 hours of playtime which may vary depending on volume and music content. If the speaker doesn't meet the advertised playtime hours even at low to mid-volume levels, there could be a problem with the battery of the unit. Please contact JBL customer support so we can assist you. JBL
