Customer Ratings & Reviews

Finally got a waterproof JBL after years of using a waterlogged Charge 2. Sounds amazing and the battery lasts a long time

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!

Jbl always has the best quality for the best price. This one lasts for 3 days when i jave my music on while working for about 9hrs daily. Love it and it was the smartest decision! The last one is still alive i just needed an update so I’m sure this one will last about 10 years

Im used 2 years and still satisfying Perfect volume Perfect battery Perfect condition Looooove JBL

Battery does not last for 20 hours, with indoor use I maybe get 12, MAYBE. It does have great sound & is well built, just be aware that under the best conditions you will not see the advertised 20 hours. I do love that it's water, dust & shock resistant.

Sounds great last most the day full volume but not loud enough when im riding wide open on the 4 wheeler.

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.

The sound that comes out from this device is awsome despite the size. I call it small but mighty. Volume quality is awsome, i have never increeased to the end because its just too loud .

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!

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.

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.

I love this speaker. Has more bass which I love. I use this speaker everyday for work as Automotive field. Thought about buying another one for home use.

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....

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.

Excellent sound quality and very good volume level, this is the 3rd JBL product that I have purchased and I'm very happy with their products

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.

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

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!!

This is a small version of the bigger one I bought last year. I love them both great sound. I love the base. JBL is a very good product and would purchase that for my sound equipment every time it’s available JBL five stars.
