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.

I would recommend this to a friendNo rewind button
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Posted .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.
