Customer Ratings & Reviews

Nice improvement from the 4.. it now has some bass.. i dont like the battery display. I know JBL batteries burn easy when overcharging. So im hesitant to full charge when i cant tell where I'm at. Still, its the most durable and more importantly to me, it's waterproof. However, get the geek protection. No worries with any of my purchases.

Very loud and easily one of the most durable speakers on the market.

The speaker itself is really good, first JBL that I own. Amazing sound quality, decent batery and good sound volume, a little bit limited for parties but it can do the job. The only problem that I had was a couple of days ago, playing in the pool we dropped the speaker to the swiming pool and after a couple of seconds it stopped working. We let it rest but it didn't turn on that night. I left it in a dry warm place for over 5 days and nothing, now it turns on but it just turns off again after a couple of seconds, nothing I can really do now. I'm in the process to return it to JBL since I still have the warranty but is not exactly an esay proccess. Probably I just had bad luck with the product but I wouldn't recomend to put it in the water, if that happened to me it could be the same with yours. Other than that 100% recomended.

It has amazing sound quality. It is definitely loud enough. I upgraded from a charge 3 that i have had for years. Definitely well worth the upgrade.

Great speaker, great sound quality, great bass & love the ability to customize the equalizer

Great product! Awesome loud sound. Bought the protection just in case but the product is very durable.

Loud for the size and lots of bass. Great for outside activities. For this kind of money this is the performance I am expecting.

Good on the go. Not just for music,but also as a charging bank. With the app i can adjust the E.Q. Which makes it very good for bass control. Not to mention the ability to link to other JBL portables for a stereo party mode.

I brought this Charge to replace the original Charge that I had purchased in 2014. Battery life is great and you can connect to other similar Charges as well. Differently a must have for outside events.

It is an excellent speaker. It’s loud and sounds great!

Amazing products though. Going strong in 2025 My daily drive I have used it since it came out. It's a great product. Still going strong with great audio

It's the best quality the battery last long time and it sounds very good loud and for a good price .

I bought it for the grandson and he is very pleased with the way it sounds and how compact it is

JBL speaker great all round, price, size and sound. Can use it fit all outdoor events, camping, fishing, picnics and on my patio for parties. Very happy with my purchase. Would recommend to a friend.JBL S

Good speaker, excellent battery life. Nice to have the ability to charge a phone in a pinch.

I got the JBL Boombox 3 for my rig to listen to music because the speakers are terrible in there. I had to return that speaker because it was too powerful. The JBL Boombox 3 is not meant for enclosed spaces. Best Buy was gracious enough to take it back and I got the JBL Charge5 which works fantastic. It is powerful and sounds terrific.

this thing is super loud did not expect that! & i love that you can pair them together

Great sound quality! Batery life is perfect! No regrets

I was debating on whether I should buy this, or, the big brother, Xtreme. I have always been satisfied with JBL so, for more than $100 less I purchased the Charge 5. I was, and am still, very impressed. My friend has the Xtreme, but, to be honest I don't think hers sounds much different. Very satisfied. Thanks JBL.

Excellent sound and easy connectivity with app and part link. Highly recommend the speaker.
