Not as advanced!!¡
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Out of all the JBL speakers that i have bought this one is unsatisfactory the battery life is actually ¼ the battery life they say it should last. I use it at work and i work 8-10 hours and the speaker dies out at 5 hours. I had to purchase a power bank just to try to keep it going till the end of my work day.could you imagine if i tried to charge something.

Posted .We appreciate your feedback. Our JBL Charge 5 should have at least 20 hours of playtime (depending on the music content and volume level). If the unit doesn't meet the advertised playtime hours even at low to mid volume level, there could be a problem with the battery of the unit. If you need more help, please contact our Customer Support, so we can assist you.
Battery no good
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Battery does not last as advertised. Battery life is about half of the time.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendGreat little speaker
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great sound from a small speaker. Bought this to listen to music while in the hot tub . Does the job. Loud enough, without being a nuisance to neighbors.
I would recommend this to a friendBattery only lasts 5 hrs and return policy is bad!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The description of the product says that the speaker battery lasts 20 hrs when it only lasts 5 hours... It drains really fast and + the sound is not as high as i thought, at least not for the price of the speaker. I have altec, sony and now a JBL and so far, Altec has given me the return of what i paid for.. Another reason of why i am giving 1 start is because Best Buy only provides 15 days to return the product... now i cant get my money back ..

No, I would not recommend this to a friendAlot of money for nothing
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have had a jbl charge 3 and 4. Which have performed great. I bought the charge 5 in sept. About a month into it the battery wasnt lastine more than 7 hours. It is now december and on a full charge it will last about 3 hours before blinking red. Ive reset it and tried all the trouble shooting there is, other than replacing the battery. For the price of this thing you would think you would get your moneys worth. Or atleast something that last more than 3 months.Do not waste your money.

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.
