Wanted to try newest of the "charge series". My first one was the "charge 2". It still works great and holds a long charge, its just not weather resistant and i thought newer version should sound better. They removed features from it that the charge 2 has such as microphone and when its paired to device the phone is no longer present for connectivity. I miss it only for listening to voice mails, not to hold a conversation through it. I haven't used it enough to see how well the battery holds up. The sound wasnt much different from charge 2 until i added their app and updated their firmware and that made a difference and it sounds punchier now. Wish it could pair up with the other two JBL speakers i have. Their "extreme" speaker battery is a joke. Replaced it once and it charges the same. Goes from dead to 3 of 5 lights as soon as its plugged in. Seems its more to do with their internal charge control board. I quit using it for the simple reason it needs to be plugged in too much. Hope this doesn’t happen to this "charge 5". Although it uses USB C port to charge it instead of an A/C power supply like their "extreme series" uses making it mostly unusable while outside or away.

Small but it packs a punch with that bass battery good for long periods of playing time

Best small BUT LARGE BASS AND SOUND QUALITY out there for the size this is the best purchase I have made at Best Buy in a long time!!

Very loud speaker, brought it to a friendsgiving in an open space and was more than enough sound alone for the venu. Great battery life as well

I simply love this speaker. The sound is awesome and it really helps to motivate me when I'm doing my work outs. I love loud music with a good bass to get me going.

Sound quality is amazing. I use it in my classroom. It fills the room. People come in to the room and wonder where the sound is coming from. Great bass.

This thing rips. Connected 3 of them and ran a playlist for a wedding instead of hiring a DJ and was pleasantly surprised.

Excellent product, purchased it as a gift for husbands birthday, he had purchased one just like this in the past and he really loved it but got stolen so he was very happy to have been gifted a new one. It has great sound and it's easy to use.

For the size, battery life, volume level, easy of use, definitely a 5 star item. My only negative to this item is the frequency response isn't quite as good as I would like (although we are talking about tiny speakers) and there is no AUX input. I really wanted to be able to use it as a plugged in computer speaker. bluetooth creates lag when using for software, but alas that is not what this speaker is really designed for so....

Great sound and easy set up. Loud enough to party with family.

It’s perfect for almost any occasion. I’ve also submerged it, dropped it from 10’ onto concrete, dropped it dozens of more times in various settings. Really long batt life, too.

This was a birthday gift for my daughter and she LOVES it. Easy to move from room to room. Loves the sound quality. Loves the battery life.

Love the JBL Charge 5 great speaker! Nice bass and loud, it can hold a great charge and charge your phone or other devices as well!

I bought this for my daughter for her birthday. The sound is SO GOOD that I often have to bang on the bathroom door for her to turn it down - she takes it there to listen while she showers as it is waterproof. Quality is excellent

Great sound and my son loved the camo color. Sheathing might wear before the sound goes out.

I bought this speaker as a gift and the recipient’s car speaker stopped working and they used this for a month as a replacement and said it sounded good.

Good rugged speaker seems better than the charge 4 dont have my old charge 4 to compare it to but seems like more battery charge and more crisper cleaner sound from the lil speaker

Love everything about this JBL Charge5… Sound is amazing, love the battery how long it goes and the ability to charge my cellphone thru USB port.. also the fact you can get another one of these and play them together.

Best tiny speaker ever! Great sound and easy to connect. I love it so much, I bought my husband his own in blue. Battery life is longer than other speakers.

The is a very good portable speaker that won't break the bank. More than adequate for personal listening with clear sound and good bass at low to mid volume. It will fill a large room but it's more suited to providing background music at a party.
