JBL Charge 5

I got one for half the price over one year ago, and I don´t regret it. Had a Charge 4 before and that wasn´t as good soundwise.

I definitely agree with you. I love my JBL CHARGE 5 and it's still one of my favorite Bluetooth Speakers and I have many.

Hi from dj Paul from Dublin Ireland 🇮🇪 I love my JBL speaker for. Great sound it makes it makes my good phone sound better you can hear phone all over the house true my JBL speaker I got my speaker for under 50euros it is my new friend it is a five 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 speaker

[...] I just bought the JBL Charge 5 Wifi Edition. It'll be my first wireless speaker, and apart from being able to play hi-res audio over Wifi like Spotify, Tidal, Apple Music, FLAC, etc., it has double the battery capacity (7500 mah vs 14100 mah) of the original Charge 5. [...]

Thank you so much Antwan for your recommendation on this speaker. [...] This speaker sounds SO DAMN GOOD. Doesn't matter what music I throw at it (so to speak), EVERYTHING is awesome on this speaker. And like you, even on a flat EQ, the bass is mind blowing. [...]

Believe me, I own a black one. As time and usage progress, the sound quality enhances. Despite its compact size, the bass is phenomenal. I have been utilizing it for three years with no complications, except that the grips beneath the speaker have worn out.

i think the charge 5 is the best speaker for its price, yes it is jbl and yes it is a bit over priced but you get what you pay for. i do have a load of jbl products and the charge 5 is my fave but i do like a lot of bass and i got the boombox 3 for £265 not sure what it is for you but normally it’s £500. i got it brand new from switzerland

I bought a Bluetooth speaker JBL CHARGE 5 FROM Walmart for $90 and some change IT'S SUPER LOAD BASS I LIKE IT U CAN FILL THE POWER IT PUTS OUT DEPEND ON THE TYPE OF MUSIC YOU'RE LISTENING TO

I have jbl charge 5 i purchase it last year, and to me its worth the price, the audio quality is amazing especially around 40-80%vol. Also the battery life is quite tough i used it everyday in our store from 8am-5pm around 40%vol and i can still squeeze 40%of battery at night, and of course the built in design quality is superbly tough i accidently dropped it several times in my bike but it only gets few minor scratches, even when its raining i never have probz nver worry at all while driving.. Hope it last forever:)

The charge 5 i bought in september stopped holding a charge about 3 weeks ago, the speaker short circuits as soon as i turn it on. literally 180 euros down the drain

I loved it until it started dying within a hour every time I use it. [...] Now it can be flashing red in under a hour after leaving it charge over night. Sounds great but it dies and gets super hot when it’s charging

Bro I need help my JBL charge 5 only after a few days of usage after I waited the full 4 hours for it to charge it started lighting up red. I bought one online when they had just first came out and it did the same thing so I returned it. I bought my current one at the store and it seems to be doing the same thing is this a problem?

I just bought it the other day charged it for 3hrs and I used it for one shift at work 2:15hrs on full volume and it was on low battery by that time can anyone let me know if they have the same issue I bought it for 240$ and it seems quite a bad purchase:(

I bought an Xtreme 3 as i wanted to use it with my scooter on group rides but its so big that i wish i could have gotten a Charge 5 instead. The bass response is definitely amazing and i dont want to return it because i got it for $250.00 before tax on sale. The charge 5 wasnt on sale at the time but now im wondering if i should pick one up afterall lol. [...]

I got my jbl extreme 2 for 15,499/- it's still better than charge 5, for the same price. More bass, loudness might be very close but as a smaller driver when it gets loud it becomes annoying to ears, so extreme 2 is better for me.

I would definitely buy it because the way it looks and the ability I can charge my phone. [...] Because I didn't want to disturb other people on the beach, most of the days I brought GO 3 and it works just perfectly but my phone cant cope 5 or 6 hours browsing , playing music, pictures, etc. I needed charging point (that's why I had to carry the extremely heavy Boombox 3, it is like a 500 meters walk to the beach with luggage and the BIG BOY) and since then I'm into buying something portable with charging phone option. It appears that CHARGE 5 is the best option. [...] And the speaker is on the way.

I bought 2 of those as an upgrade to my 7 y-o Dockin D fine(50w), and I'm disappointed. It is a mono-speaker, so no stereo sound on a single device, the bass is underwhelming in real life, even though in youtube videos its presented as very rich. Also the battery life is around 6 hours in real life on both, reducing to around 4 hours when "paired" for simultaneous play. Also even with an updated firmware there are LOTS of bugs when playing on "paired" mode with another JBL speaker, from jittery sound to knack noises, once even something that I can only describe as a speaker blowout at only 70ish % of volume.(doesn't happen when used as a single speaker tho) 3.5/5 from me, because I listed only the bad things.

JBL Charge 5 is only good as a powerbank. [...] JBL Boombox 3 Wifi has Self tuning AI and the AI sometimes makes the audio hollow. Bad sound quality!!!! [...] JBL Partybox 310 has louder bass at 55% volume, than JBL Partybox Stage 320. Who cares about swappable batteries, if the sound is inferior??? [...] Harman Kardon Go + Play 3 has sometimes weak bass, even with bass EQ at maximum!!! [...] Hollow audio and weak bass sometimes. If JBL Boombox 4 has weak bass and hollow audio, I am done with JBL. [...] I am done with Harman Kardon speakers. [...]

I was about buying one on ebay but I got this title JBL Charge 5 Portable Bluetooth Waterproof Speaker with Powerbank. And it way more expensive than regular charge 5. [...]

JBL Charge 5 might not be the most bass heavy or big sounding portable speaker on the market, but it’s definitely one of the most accurate ones in the way of being true to the original recording. Sure it doesn’t quite stack up to my fancy home hifi system in terms of clarity, but it’s the closest I’ve witnessed in a Bluetooth speaker. My only complaint with this model: the rubber feet on the bottom feel somewhat fragile, and I’ve seen other speakers where they’re falling apart. [...]

It is LEAGUES better than any other speaker at the same price point and even a lot of the ones above it... I bought a BOSE Soundlink Resolve 2 at $229 a couple months ago and the Charge 5 seriously just makes the BOSE speaker look like crap in general... the JBL speaker is twice as loud... Slightly better sound quality, uses Bluetooth 5.1 while the Bose speaker uses Bluetooth 4.2... [...] it takes like 8-10 hours to charge the SLR2 from 0 while it takes the Charge 5 about 5-6 hours tops... [...] I can play the charge 5 at max volume for about 9-11 hours straight before it drops below 20%... [...] But I also bought the JBL Charge 4 back in February 2020... [...] the battery sucked, the quality declined, and it took nearly a full day to charge from 0-100

Just replaced my other JPL BLT that I've had for about 10 years. Haven't used it much yet but am pretty satisfied. It's a little on the big side for portable BLT speakers but have been pretty impressed so far.

I just bought it today on 11th May 2025 and the jbl charge 5 sounds ery clear and loud bass for portable carry-on bt speakers in its categories. charges my phone. Love it 100% from Fiji 🇫🇯 ❤ I got the red one

[...] Because of you, I decided to buy one for myself. It really seems like a high-quality speaker, and I'm sure I won't regret it.

I like mine so much, I got a total of 2 so I can pair them together and get stereo sound while I'm at work.

Solid powerful sound. [...] I use it on my laptop to play games, watch movies & TV shows and performs great. I set the EQ on the app to Bass:Max, Mid: Middle and Treble: -1

I bought a Charge 5 for black friday and I love it! The only down I'd say is the battery life.. I'm only getting about 5 to 6 hours on a full charge.

i bought a flip essential 2 for everyday stuff and its perfect for 90 percent of ppl but this charge 5 is just that extra bit for real audiphiles its fantasmic
