    This is a good speaker. I upgraded from the pulse 4. This speaker has good base, charges fast, and I really like the different light options.

    I absolutely love this speaker for our home. The ambient lighting adds so much relaxation and I can easily with one finger grab it by the loop handle to take to the pool. Great sound

    Best bluetooth speaker for setting the mood at the pool, beach, campfire, party, and many more occasions. As far as sound quality, yes there some that outperform the JBL Pulse 5 in the same price range. However it's not by much. This thing BUMPS! For what it is, you won't be disappointed.

    It's pretty dope. I bought this speaker for my husband to use with his new Bluetooth record player. The only complaint I would have (totally my bad) is that he can't paur it to his jbl flip 4. I didn't look into if his other speaker had the capability to oair ahead of time.

    A bunch of color options to choose from when you use the JBL app. I love this speaker only thing I don’t like it that it has no auxiliary plugin and no microphone so you can’t use it to talk on the phone. Very specific and not too significant to the product itself but overall I still love this speaker.

    I bought this speaker after having the pulse 3 for a while now, still sounding great, but i decided to buy the pulse 5 instead of the 4 due to the 5 ascetic of the speaker and sounds way better than the 4. I Recommend this speaker especially if you like the RGB on it.

    I genuinely have no complaints about the speaker, it's goregous, the connectivity worked seamlessly, the bass is bumpin and you can mess around with an equalizer in the app! It's one of my better purchases.

    Works well, and would be great for parties. Has a sync feature to play in tune with multiple others of the same product. Only problem i have is, that it has difficulty connecting to the app if you switch bluetooth connection between different phones.
