Customer Ratings & Reviews

Loud, colorful, and easy to carry around. Battery life is average.

Both it to my 16 year old daughter and she loved it. The design and colors make all the difference. Great to carry on all our trips

Much better than the jbl pulse 3 and powerful than its predecessors. The battery life is really amazing and not glitchy like the pulse 3. Would definitely recommend to buy this if you are looking for a shower time speaker or show off to your friends with the cool light show!

Another good product by JBL, but let's be honest. This speaker's cool because of the lights. The app provides options for the lights, but only a couple are very good. JBL's XTREME, charge, and flip are all better options speaker wise in terms of sound and battery; however I can't help but enjoy the lights and the fireplace visual.

[Employee of bestbuy] It's a great speaker. The bass is at the bottom. The melody is at the top. If you cover the top, the sound gets blocked out other than the bass. Keep that in mind. 90% volume lasted 3 hours with full brightness and lighting. Very surprised with its battery life. Keep in mind that for full retail, you're getting a very colorful speaker and the battery life may be unsatisfactory, so I would recommend the Bose bt speakers if you want better battery life and you are not interested in the flashy colors and lighting effects. You can customize the lighting on it, and the bass has improved from its previous generation, and its a fun speaker and it is definitely worth for me! If this speaker is on sale, definitely would recommend it!

Love - love - love this little speaker. Not only is it retro cool, but it has great sound quality and works really well for my needs. I am using it in my home office and it is the perfect fit of aesthetic beauty and groovy sound.

This device is simply terrific. The sound quality and volume abilities are all super. The speaker is well made and study. Love the color patterns of the lights and really enjoying the ability to change things up via the app. Well worth the money!

I updated my collection a of couple months ago from jbl pulse 3 to the 5… I can say it was worth the risk. The strap that is attached to the speaker is very durable. The sounds is great loud lows, and there is even an app you can download to adjust the equalizer.

I’ve had the three for years and it’s still working well I just needed another one, of course by now they have the five. And it’s working well. Nice job of lighting and the batteries got a nice long life to it.

I absolutely love this beautiful speaker!! The colors are so beautiful and with the JBL app you can personalize the colors. The speaker sounds great with my music

its my second speker from JBL, the first one was charge 4 and it was stolen. So , pulse 5 is absolutely increadible , the sound , the vibe and hundreds of color themes and effects talk for itself.

Would have been 5 stars but the smudges.. oh man the smudges. It also doesnt hold up to the previous model in outside environments. Additionally, the jbl link isnt cross compatible with the previous model. Other than these things its an amazing speaker. Sounds great and is sturdy.

the light show is dope tv and music sound great especially if you want good sound at night without waking up the roomates it sounds good at low volumes and great loud too not too shabby

This was a birthday gift for my wife. She loves it she was surprised with the lights and sound she couldn’t believe this small speaker can be so loud.

Amazing sound. The lights are incredible. Very nice bass.

The sounds and colors are amazing and the white noise sounds are awesome especially when the lights are on feels like I have a lava lamp that plays music

[Employee of bestbuy] JBL has always made great speakers, but the Pulse 5 really takes the cake. Its sound is crisp, the lights are a great touch, and it even has a loop now! 100% recommend.

Great speaker got it on sale for Christmas, would definitely recommend. Love the color show and durability build of this speaker. JBL is the best!

Great, visual display amazing sound recommend buying

This speaker can hold a charge for an extended amount of time during party events. The colorful light patterns make this item perfect for entertaining guests.
