Customer Ratings & Reviews

After a long search for a quality speaker, this is the best overall portable speaker. Although the style is a little less appealing but the sound is great for a 30W speaker. I can listen to any genre as the sound stage has punchy bass, decent mids, and clear highs that will not create a muddy tone (compared to the sound stage of the Marshall Bluetooth speakers). Compared to the charge 4, you get a separate tweeter, Bluetooth v5.1 (compared to v4.0), and now a part of JBL Partyboost to connect with other speakers. The IPX rating has decreased since the charge 4 from IPX7 to IPX67. To note, there is no charger in the box, just the cable and some booklets are included. In the end, this a great speaker for all occasions.

Bought this to replace an aging bose soundlink. The sound is comparable to the bose at low volume. Where it really shines is a mid to high volume. The bass is much deeper and sound remains clearer at higher volumes better than the bose. While not quite as compact as the bose, it is still easily portable.

After doing a lot of research, I landed on the Charge 5. The main feature is the battery life, let along it can charge my iPhone simultaneously while playing. The charging of the phone is very slow. The waterproof and dustproof features are really convenient as I already took this to the lake and beach and wasn't worried about it. The sound is average for the a Bluetooth speaker and probably had a little more bass than the Bose Soundlink which I also own. For the price, this speaker is a great value and will last all day.

JBL always sounds amazing and this speaker is no different. Good bass punch and clear highs. Battery life is pretty good as well. I used all day and still had decent amount left. I have been outside my front door and changed songs with the speaker in back of my 2200 sqft house. picks up excellent. I went the route of cheaper speakers. Turned out to be a waste of Money.

I love JBL speakers and bave always owned them. The Charge 4 I used for a couple of years until I bought the 5 and it is considerably better quality and much easier to use. I highly recommend it for the price.

This speaker is amazing. Loud clear and long battery life. Bought one for my daughter and then got one for my nephew.

This speaker is fabulous. The audio quality is superb. It has great highs and mids, with a deep, rich bass reproduction. The battery life is great. I charged it fully and ran it at a moderate level for 10 hours on the first day and 11 hours the next day and still had a moderate amount of charge left. This speaker is great, and will playback at extremely high levels. It is easy to set up with Bluetooth and playback is easy. I will be getting one in the near future, for a stereo response.

Overall, the speaker is a great buy for the price.sound quality is great, has impressive volume, and has good bass. One minor complaint I have is that the battery can drain if you use the custom EQ settings on the JBL app.

Had the charge 4 before i forgot it at work one day and someone stole it. Ive had the 5 for a while now, sound is amazing, bass is unbelievably strong especially if used in a room, or patio. Definitely durable, ive dropped it twice already with not a scratch on it, and no changes to sound quality. I cant say that about portable speakers ive spunt twice as much on that didnt survive the first drop. Absolutely a must buy!

It has super bass and sound clear. It’s good in battery and very sharp. I love it I wish I had the new one though lol

Great sound and love that it pairs so I can have my streaming music playing all thru the whole house.

One of the best little speakers I’ve bought. I’ve had it for 3 years now I think and still works perfect. Stays charged forever! Water hasn’t done anything to it. Ive dropped it 100 times and like I said still works like brand new

Great product, feels very sturdy and durable. Very loud, but a little bass heavy. But, that can be resolved with the EQ through the app. Just wish it had an Aux input, but not a huge problem.

Great sound with great bass. The speaker has a very full sound that can easily fill an average sized room. The JBL app on my iPhone allows me to fine-the sound levels. Being waterproof it s perfect for playing around a swimming pool or the bwach.

This is a good speaker for its size , works great and sounds good also, I have it in my master bedroom and I can definitely hear it all the way from my kitchen, it’s a medium size but it’s great to carry around and kept in tight spaces , your the best JBL !

Speaker is so loud and great enough for a room with the capability of around 50 people to enjoy the music. Excellent size and not too heavy to carry. Love the grip it has on the bottom to sit at any platform and it does not tilt.

Take everywhere i go park,pool..beach on the party boat loud bass and battery life's crazy don't miss a beat,incredible sound that's what my friend's comment

Great sound sturdy reliable have had it for a while will never buy another brand of speaker. Lasts as long as advertised no buffer or weird sounds to it. Wonderful product definitely worth the money

Great product, awesome sound and very durable for our family bbq get together as!

Sounds great! I did not expect it to last that long and it has not died on me. It’s a really great speaker I carry it all around the house. I’m glad it’s water proof too so I can take it when I’m around water.
