This portable speaker is AMAZING!! It's as beautiful as it looks in pictures / videos if not more so. I love how it times with the music. Holds a charge for so long and goes LOUD. As someone who listens to music at a minimum of full volume always, this speaker does not disappoint me. I've also dropped it a few times from 4-5ft since purchase and it holds up perfectly!!! Great purchase :)

Paired with the charge 5 this boast amazing sound quality like no other. Highly recommended especially because i like to stand up my speakers without bass being closed off but definitely a treble high performer, bass is good but this shines brighter with the clear voice sounds

I had a Pulse 3 several years ago and loved it. It was broken by someone and then years later I bought a Pulse 4 and it was HORRIBLE. It was so ugly, poor design and awful sound quality. This time JBL really did an amazing job. The design is beautiful, the colors are amazing, the carrying strap is an excellent addition and I was shocked by the audio quality. MUCH better than expected. I have 2 JBL Boombox 2’s, a Charge 5, Xtreme 2 and a Clip. I love JBL Bluetooth speakers. They are by far the best in this category and I’m a huge audio snob. I’m already thinking of getting a second Pulse 5 and have them on the top shelf for the light show and linked to the boombox’s on the floor for the bass and loudness. Party at my house y’all!!

The speaker sounds and looks amazing, but it leaves much to be desired in the app. I feel there should be more visual modes that sync to the music and just more visual settings in general. Sometimes, the app takes forever to connect, which means it cannot be used. Lastly, I'd love the ability to just turn on & control the lights without my phone connecting to it and without the need for it to be plugged in. Hopefully the next Pulse can include these quality of life features. For now, it is great for parties and a beautiful centerpiece with a speaker!

I got it as a present for my Mom because she likes to jam out. She really loves it and takes it everywhere. We enjoy seeing the really cool light shows it has. But the sound is clear and can get pretty loud. Definitely recommend. I need one for myself!!

I love the light and the app, sounds good, but only thing is not matching with the description is the battery lasts 3hrs on a loud volume which was not really cool about this product. Cheers
