- Reviewed in the United States on July 5, 2025Color: RedVerified PurchaseI did return this speaker because it appeared to have been previously opened. I bought one on sale locally instead, however, so I will still submit a review. I have an older model of this same speaker as well as this one. They are similar, but the quality of this one is superior.
It is sharp looking, and the ends move in and out with the music. It projects music very well to fill spaces, due to the shape of the speaker. I have used it for a few gatherings/parties, and received compliments. People actually thought music was coming from my main stereo system that was on the other side of the room.
This is a pretty powerful speaker in a very portable size. We have used it out by the pool as well as indoors. The battery lasts for many hours (hasn't run out on me yet during a party), but you can also plug it in to recharge if need be. This unit comes in several colors. Originally I ordered this red, but later chose a dark teal, which I prefer. The price on these is a bit high, but you will not be disappointed.
- Reviewed in the United States on July 3, 2025Color: CamouflageVerified PurchaseThis speaker was recommended to us by our young adult children. Works very well. Battery lasts for several days of use and I like that it can also be used as a charger. Great sound quality and it is very durable and easy to use!
- Reviewed in the United States on June 2, 2025Color: BlackVerified PurchaseLove this speaker. Was exactly as advertised. Great sound and flawless Bluetooth hookup. Love the color and the ease of use. Held up great after I left it outside in a rainstorm. Good value and highly recommend.
- Reviewed in the United States on March 26, 2025Color: BlackVerified PurchaseI bought the JBL Charge 5 as a Christmas gift for my partner, and it turned out to be the perfect choice. They’ve been using it nonstop ever since, and we’re both really impressed by how powerful and clear the sound is for such a compact speaker. The bass is strong without being overwhelming, and the mids and highs are crisp even at higher volumes. It’s loud enough to fill a room or even use outdoors without losing audio quality. We’ve used it for everything from morning podcasts to evening backyard hangouts, and it delivers every time.
One of the standout features is the battery life. We easily get a full day’s use out of it, and the fact that it can charge other devices with the built-in powerbank feature is a huge bonus. It’s convenient not having to pack an extra charger when we’re on the go.
Pairing is simple and fast with Bluetooth, and the JBL PartyBoost feature is great if you have more JBL speakers to link up for a bigger sound. We haven’t used that yet, but it’s nice to know it’s there if we expand our setup.
Overall, my partner was genuinely thrilled with this gift—and I honestly think I’ll end up getting one for myself too. It’s an excellent speaker with premium sound, long battery life, and a rugged design. Highly recommend it to anyone looking for a portable speaker that doesn’t compromise on performance.
- Reviewed in the United States on April 5, 2024Color: BlackVerified PurchaseThe JBL Charge 5 is the BEST speaker I have ever owned. I have had the average run-of-the-mill bluetooth speaker that has around a $20 value, for over a year, and I thought it was good sound quality, and I never thought I needed something “fancy.” Well, that speaker started having problems, and I was carefully searching for another speaker. I found this speaker and I thought I would try something new. I only had one thought as I played music out of it for the first time. WOW! The JBL Charge 5 has the best sound quality I had ever heard from a bluetooth speaker. I don’t ever plan on getting another speaker; that is, a speaker that isn’t JBL or an upgraded version of the Charge 5. The clarity is absolutely stunning! The bass is DEEP. I can feel the bass through my whole room! The volume is insane. I rarely have it over 50%, but in the event where I need it louder, I turn it up. I once had music filling a whole event center that was quite a reasonable size. If I could choose one word to describe this speaker, it would be “Stunning,” “Powerful,” or “Supercharged!(Pun intended.)” On that note, the battery life on this thing is long! I once had the speaker provide some background noise for about two days and the battery life was barely lower than 70% (I think…it’s hard to tell exactly with the battery indicator; definitely above 60%). Of course, the battery drains quicker when you have the speaker playing at high volumes. Also, it can take some water. Some being a little, I prefer not to put it to the test. Here is my takeaway:
DESIGN: 9/10 Great! I love the fabric covering. The JBL logo is made of metal, which makes it look very nice and official. The buttons are easy to distinguish, and the light is on the power, bluetooth, and there is a ring of light around those two buttons when PartyBoost is in effect. There is a battery bar right below the JBL Logo, and it serves as a general battery indicator. You can get the 100%, 75%, 50%, and 25%. You can get more info on the battery via the app. The weight is surprisingly light, considering the volume this speaker is capable of. Although, it isn’t the most portable of portable speakers as it is a little big and has a football shape. You can get a case for it that has a strap though. For the skip feature, you have to press the play/pause button twice. Make sure that when you do this, you maintain a consistent interval of time between the two presses. If you do it too fast it will just pause. If you do it too slow, it will just pause then play again.
BATTERY: 10/10 Perfect! I absolutely love the battery. I’m the kind of person that prefers the longest possible battery, and doing whatever it takes to preserve it. I don’t have to worry much about this battery. Like I said, it has provided some low music for almost 2 days and the battery wasn’t that affected. However, the battery life will drain much more rapidly when using the speaker at high volumes. I currently use this speaker with a projector to watch TV. I have watched lots of movies and TV shows, and I don’t have to pay much attention to the battery. I just plug it in every other night, and it does great! And having a battery bank is the cherry on top. I haven’t used it much, as I keep most of my devices fully charged, but I think it is awesome that it has a battery bank if I need it.
SOUND QUALITY: 10/10(10.5/10) Stunning! I didn’t expect that sound quality could get this good for a bluetooth speaker. JBL means business! When I turn it to high volumes, I can actually feel air blowing from it! On that note, it can go REALLY high in volume. I did not expect that at all. Insane volume. As stated earlier, I use this with a projector, and for all my TV. Watching movies with this speaker makes the entire experience cinematic! A much bigger upgrade compared to the sound TV’s come with. I would even say that it can contend with some soundbars out there (not the JBL Surround Sound System though…that one seems like the top-tier of JBL). This speaker was my first experience with JBL speakers (other than the car speakers) and I was very impressed. It has been the best sound experience I have ever had. Really clear and crisp audio, and when I say “really,” I mean truly! When playing music, I can hear every instrument, every breath, and incredible bass. The bass is a superstar in and of itself. Like I said, the bass shakes my whole room when playing music, and when watching movies! The side radiators really, really pack a punch! There is even an adjustable EQ on the app. Though I prefer what the speaker came with. It is a little pricey, (just a little) but know that you get what you pay for! I don’t think that I can ever go back to what I had…
PARTYBOOST: 9/10 Great! I had one, so I bought two more so I could create a surround sound with my TV. It kinda worked. I think I had some sort of connectivity issue, so all I’ll say is that the range might not be that great, so make sure you keep them somewhat close. If you have a projector that has bluetooth and you want to use PartyBoost, I would consider researching what you can do with the Bluetooth latency (As stated earlier, I watch TV with this, and please note there IS some lag between sound and video, as bluetooth will do. However, that is just bluetooth technology, not JBL. Over time my ears and eyes have adjusted, and now it is not that big a deal). In addition to standard bluetooth latency, PartyBoost will make this delay greater (I ended up returning the other two because of this issue). For music, this is not a problem, because it is just sound and no video. With music, PartyBoost is pretty cool! It really creates a much louder and much cooler sound experience. You can even use just two for a stereo effect, and it works great!
Overall, this has been the BEST bluetooth speaker experience I have ever had. You better believe I’ll be there for the Charge 6 or 7 or wherever they decide to take this. They really have something good going here. I would 110% recommend this! If you are reading this review, and you would like an upgrade to your typical listening experience, know that this is one of the best out there! And if you catch this at a discounted price, you’ll know you are getting a great deal. JBL has been the best listening experience for me. I will continue buying their products if they keep supplying a high-quality experience. I mean, let the 27,000 ratings with a 4.8 overall rating speak for itself. Here is a simplified pro-con list:
PROS
-Excellent audio clarity
-Excellent bass
-Excellent overall sound
-Exceptional volume
-Long battery life
-Battery bank feature
-Waterproof feature
-Adjustable EQ
-Stereo Effect
-PartyBoost for multiple speakers
CONS
-Button timing for the skip track
-Could be slightly more portable (We do have the Flip speakers for that though)
