    Has good sound quality, I bought it for myself for work and, at times, will share the music with my employees. Love the JBL brand.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

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