    Awesome big speaker sound in a small package. Even accidentally left it out in the rain one night and it continues to work perfectly. I would definitely recommend this product.

    I bought this for my wife as she is a massage therapist and uses this to play whatever music her clients want to listen to. We have used it at home and puts out very good sound for its size.

    I have 2 of these speakers. I link them and they work great. I've had them for about 2 weeks, so this is not a long-term review. The sound is rich and true. I like the portability and ease of use. Overall, a great product!

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

    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.

    Incredible sound! Bought for a beach vacation and home use outdoors at the pool. Battery life is long- didn’t have to charge it all week and sound is loud. Wish it came with a case and it wasn’t so heavy but worth it!

    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.

    This speaker is great! Had the volume turned up as loud as it could go (which is louder than you’d probably ever want to play it) and it was super clear. And it charges your phone too! I would highly recommend this speaker.

    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....
