Being a bus/coach driver it’s come in very handy when you want to listen to music when you’re on break or driving. Bonus that you can plug your usb in and charge what you like. Definitely a great produc
This is actually the 2nd I’ve bought. Bought the 1st for outdoor dancing events. Occasionally if someone else had a JBL speaker we would pair them and I loved the difference, it already sounds amazing just on it’s own. Got a new computer setup so needed speakers, decided on a 2nd JBL Charge 5. Can now enjoy home cinema experience (have a projector) or great sound outdoors.
The JBL Charge 5 is about the same size and weight as 2 bake bean cans end to end — really not huge considering its impressive volume, solid bass and apparently long battery life. Sound quality wise I have few complaints with it having a rich warm sound and good separation of bass, middle and treble. It is a mono speaker, which I think makes no difference in the context of a speaker designed to fill a room with music but do appreciate this will be an important consideration for some. It handled everything from modern jazz to music such as P!nk’s Never Gonna Not Dance Again. At high-volume it did struggle with Sam Ryder’s Space Man – hence my rather mean hearted 4-star review.
I bought this speaker back in February and a few months later bought another (elsewhere) to make a pair of speakers – they work so well together although pairing them can be a bit fiddly (essentially you don’t pair your device to one of the speakers and the one you are paired to communicates with the second speaker). Getting two of the speakers was very worthwhile.
Bass is deep, and sound quality superb. The speakers are a bit bigger than some but still portable. Have ordered a protective case. When operated as a pair the stereo sound is really good. Together they are better than the sum of their parts.
wir waren sehr zufrieden mit der Verarbeitung und Handhabung, sowie die Qualitt.
Es ist schon unsere dritte Box in gleicher Gre aber anderer Farbe.
Unser Patenkind ist mega begeistert und einfach zum Laden sowie lange Laufzeit.
Took me ages to decide on this speaker.. so many choices out there. I initially was thinking something bigger like the Xtreme 3.. also toyed with the much hyped X600. I predominantly wanted to use this on my desk whilst working at home.. SO glad I chose this.. the sound is awesome, even on low, i like everything from classical, country, electronic and have found it all works really well. Its a lovely size to be just convenient and the sound is awesome ! Really happy with this.. I might at some point add a second one to try for a wider stereo feel.. no brainer.. get this one !
Ist ein ganz vernnftiger Bluetooth Speaker mit gutem Klang, einer langen Akkulaufzeit und auch ordentlich Lautstrke.
Si presenta Bene ,,molto bene direi quasi parit con Marshall Midlenton per chi ha un po’ d’orecchio,, Vediamo pi avanti
Livraison rapide reu en 24h dj pour a Top cette enceinte remplie tout le cahier de charge un son clair de bonnes basses je l’utilise l’intrieur comme l’extrieur de plus une trs bonne autonomie je recommande absolument cette enceinte gnial
Die paar Euro mehr haben wirklich gelohnt fr die Comoflage Farbe. Sieht echt klasse aus und wenn sie in der Wiese liegt sieht man sie fast garnicht. Mega ! Im Vergleich zur Charge 3 ist beim Ton deutlich der Unterschied zu hren. Die mehr Treiber erkennt man gleich am Hochtner die viel genauer zu hren sind zb. Stimmen. Sehr gut, aber beim Bass hat sich leider nichts getan ,da hilft auch die App nicht erheblich. Sieht auf jeden Fall frischer aus als die 3 er.
Use aos otra marca igualmente buena, este parlante suena mejor en graves, lo que me faltara sera probarlo durante un tiempo ms prolongado para ver su durabilidad
Es un altavoz no muy grande , pero joder el sonido en general es bastante bueno y fuerte. Recomendado.
Mein bester JBL bisher. Akku hlt ewig, die Connexion geht problemlos ohne rumgezicke
Satter Sound fr die Poolparty!
Die Box gefllt meinem Sohn total gut! Sie hat einen klasse Sound und ist ihr Geld wert.
SOUND Quality is very good, bought in 179 euro, worth it,
batttery life could hv been bette
I waited for a good few months before writing this review to give it time to fully check this little beauty out.
So for me it’s about sound first, connectivity and then battery and size.
The sound is amazing for the size, full bass and well balanced mid and treble. I use it for Amazon HD and Spotify Premium and its absolutely great
I have a reasonable sized garden and it’s more than loud enough (even my neighbour commented on the sound quality )
The battery lasts for ages. I haven’t timed it, but I rarely charge it and use it daily. Now I listen to my music at a fairly low level, so if you are partying and have it loud, it may last less time. But you’ll definitely be happy with how long it lasts. Charging time is reasonable as well which is a bonus.
Bluetooth connection to my Samsung Note 10 and Fire tablet is quick and has honestly never dropped. I’ve actually gone into my house while the speaker is in the garden and still hear it playing flawlessly.
It is definitely more than worth the money, and I have stopped using my other Bluetooth speakers as its just so useful and great sounding.
I did pair it with a friend’s Charge 5 for stereo and it was awesome. So now I have to decide if I can justify another to get the stereo going in my garden lol
Hands down a brilliant buy
Sonido potente
Bajos excelentes
No muy ligero ni muy pesado
Ideal para llevar tu msica al parque, playa etc
Keep it vertically in a corner of the room, and the Charge 5 will fill the room with bass punches. The sound clarity and quality is exceptional, and it looks good standing in a corner as well! I’m excited for a lot of fun imma have with the speaker!
JBL- eine der besten Marken fr guten Klang, satte Bsse ind Laufzeit. Wrd ich mir jederzeit wieder kaufen. Sehr zu empfehlen!
Overall good as expected only thing was battery, which is not more than 5 hrs otherwise good.
Sin duda lo mejor que hay en calidad de audio en precio en todo un 100/10
El altavoz Charge 5 tiene una excelente fidelidad de audio adems de potencia de sonido. Es muy prctico para llevarlo a la piscina, playa, etc y sobre todo para su tamao muy fcil de transportar con una relacin calidad-precio muy atractiva.
Compra muy recomendable.
Tengo muchisima experiencia en altavoces de este tipo,de hecho he devuelto alguna que otra vez altavoces comprados en amazon,pero este altavoz es con mucha diferencia el mejor con una claridad/calidad de sonido increible asi como su potencia. No es esta afrimacion solo porque lo diga yo,es que recien comparado lo lleve a la playa a poner musica y hubo personas distantes que se acercaron a ver el altavoz pues se escuchaba alto y claro a bastante metros de distancia sin molestarnos a nosotros que lo teniamos alli mismo.
No se y espero no saberlo nunca si aguanta el agua o no.
En resumen ,recomendable la compra al 100%.
Ich habe mir die Box frs auto gekauft und wenn ich drauen etwas mache ind die groe Partybox nicht mitschleifen mchte.
Wie immer hat die Box einen super Klang, akkuleistung unschlagbar. Hier passt Preis und Leistung
This speaker has a very pleasing sound quality. It’s a balanced full sound with plenty of attack, the bass is very good for a speaker it’s size but obviously doesn’t extend that far down. It is very loud, you could easily fill a good size living room at high sound levels and you could use it in a small hall for, say a dance class with enough volume to get the job done. It will fit in your backpack, not in your pocket and the battery lasts for many hours! Bluetooth connection seems pretty solid.
It charges using a USB C connector and a USB C-A cable is included, which is handy if you’ve got chargers lying around for your phone/tablet/laptop. It doesn’t come with a separate charger. There is a charge indicator so you can see how it’s getting along.
There is an app that you can download – JBL Portable. I’ve tried the Android version only. The Charge 5 speaker is astounding and does not need this app to function. The app gives you a 3 point equaliser (bass/mid/treble) and a vague battery indication. It also has the PartyBoost feature which you can use to group 2 or more JBL speakers. The app works well, can be used to update your speaker’s firmware, and seems stable. However, unless you want to use one of these features it’s superfluous.
Overall an impressive speaker especially for it’s size and price. I am enjoying listening to it.
GREAT SOUND AND FAIR PRICE… VERY LOUD AND SOLID BASS.
I am writing this review after using this product for three weeks. Here are a few things you should consider while buying a Bluetooth speaker and where the JBL speaker stands in these parameters.
1. Sound – The sound quality of this speaker is extraordinary compared to its size. The sound is crystal clear at the highest volume, and the speaker performs well in delivering mids and highs. JBL signature Bass is the USP of this company, and this product is not an exception. However, it would be foolish (and unreasonable) to expect a home theatre experience from this product. It has a 30W speaker compared to more than 60W speakers of a typical home theatre system.
2. Battery – It delivers what JBL claims in its advertisement. The battery easily lasts for 20 hours when the speaker is used at 50% volume (loud enough to shake a small-sized room). Even at higher volumes of 80-90%, the speaker lasted more than 14 hours during my test use.
3. Build Quality – The speaker weighs around 1 kg and has a solid build quality. It feels sturdy and premium and has got a very good quality finish.
4. Power Bank – This speaker can be used as a power bank to charge your device in need. A handy option if you are in dire need of fuel for your phone (obviously when you are travelling).
5. Other features – Add-ons like water resistance and dust resistance seem to work based on my current usage with this product.
Cons – The only downside of this product is not being able to produce stereo sound when multiple JBL speakers are connected. It delivers mono sound (which is fine as the company doesn’t advertise this product as stereo sound speakers. The difference between a stereo and a mono sound is that stereo audio is capable of producing the perception of sounds coming from different directions, whereas mono audio can not produce this effect.
Overall Review – This is a great product for those who like to party on the go. It’s highly portable, has got great battery life, build quality and brilliant sound with JBL signature Bass. I am certain nobody is going to regret buying this product.
Awesome speaker, and I’ve had loads of these. Don’t over think it, these are brilliant.
I already own the JBL boombox so was a natural decision to buy this for holidays etc and I’m not disappointed, sound quality and build are superb. Only slight downside is they use different tech for connecting to each other (shame on you JBL) so I can’t pair them up.
Had the same model before and JBL is a always value for money
Was confused between this speaker and Flip 6, but settled on this after watching multiple youtube reviews
Sound clarity is awesome but still a notch below sony bar speaker which I use
Bass is where this speaker shines
this speaker is directional and changing it gives different sound
Bluetooth lag between videos and audio is also less in this speaker
With firmware update JBL gives equalizer support
this speaker looks awesome to look and touch it apart from its incredible sound quality, totally happy with i
This is such a powerhouse. Nice bass for the size of the unit. Easy to set up and use. Battery long lasting sound as good out doors as inside. Bonus feature on the charge 5 is you can also charge your portable devices! Win, win, win!
Definitely recommend.
Pros:
Sounds quality and great bass.
The camo skin is fab.
Ability to charge other devices via usb.
High battery capacity.
Dust proof (my house is very dusty)
Seamless set up.
Bluetooth immediately connected.
Portability.
Cons:
While the JBL Charge 5 has really great quality sound and to my ears better than some speakers at twice the price, it doesn’t have significantly better sound than the cheaper speakers (think Anker). I replaced my old Anker soundcore with this and yes, it is an improvement – no doubt. However the Anker is 29 and the JBL is 169. That’s 5x the price. The Sound is about twice as good. However the Anker couldn’t charge other devices and was more difficult to set up. Is the extra 140 spent on the JBL well spent?
That’s up to each individual, but you won’t be disappointed with the sound quality.
Lo uso principalmente en interior. Buen sonido, da bastantes graves. Con la se puede ecualizar un poco.
Haba podido probar un jbl xtreme 2 que no pude ecualizarlo, y me gust ms este, a pesar de tener menos volumen y resonancia. Y un Boom3 que no me gust mucho an dando un sonido 360.
La batera me dura aprox 10 h escasas a volumen medio/bajo y a momentos alto.
Datemi un po’ di tempo per constatare se effettivamente cos resistente, come dicono, a schizzi e polvere. Per adesso posso dirvi che effettivamente il suono bello potente, abbastanza “caldo”, con dei bassi pieni e avvolgenti. Ma a volte questi ultimi sembrano pompati un po’ troppo, e quindi il suono nel complesso sembrerebbe non adatto totalmente ad un ascolto di fino, tipo jazz o musica classica. Ma se dovete sentire il groove sotto la doccia o fare casino in casa, vanno alla grande. Qualit della connessione bluetooth abbastanza buona. Se costasse un po’ meno darei 5 stelle…
Durata della batteria circa 20h a medio volume se si alza molto la batteria dura meno ma la qualit del suono perfetta con bassi consistenti
It ain’t cheap, but it has a really solid build. The sound is excellent – the bass obviously limited by its physical size but still not bad. It’s rugged too, and waterproof. I also like the 20 hour battery life. It makes a good computer speaker too.
Le son au top !! La version camouflage fait son effe
In foto il colore non rende. Io ho preso la verde mimetica. 113 euro quei due tre giorni del bleck fridey
Hervorragend der Klang, der Lautsprecher steht in meinem Flur am Regal, erreiche damit die Rume links und rechts und habe das Gefhl das die Musik aus allen Richtungen kommt. Ich habe Musik noch nie so gut wahrgenommen, mit anderen Stereoanlagen die ich bisher hatte, fr mich ein guter Kauf.
Super Qualitt, sehr guter Klang, hat echt Pums und ist auch noch schick anzusehe
Ottimo rapporto potenza dimensioni, impermeabile, resistente agli urti, ideale per ambienti chiusi e per la street music, i bassi sono forti e chiari. Un must per chi vuole ascoltare e creare musica in ogni situazione.
Jbl il top per x chi ama la musica con bassi profondi,possiedo gia una jbl e ho acquistato chance 5 a occhi chiusi,devo testare la durata della batteria!
Ist im Mehrfamilienhaus definitiv die beste Wahl im JBL-Segment. Die extreme muss man viel zu laut aufdrehen. Bei der Charge 5 hat man die komplette range schon im unteren Volumebereich. Verarbeitung ist gewohnt gut. USB-C ist auch nicht mehr wegzudenken. wie bei allen JBL-Gerten wrde ich mir auch hier mehr Abstufung zum unteren Volumebereich wnschen. Der Klang ist sehr ausgewogen, und egal in welches Zimmer ich die Box auch stelle, sie hrt sich berall komplett geil an. Meine Empfehlung!
Qualit del suono veramente buona e anche ottima durata della batteria, i bassi raggiungono il massimo all’80% del volume, oltre aumentano solo gli alti e la qualit del suono cala ma non distorce.
L’unica nota negativa che l’audio non stereo.
Dopo averli provato me ne sono subito innamorata.. oltretutto ho avuto fortuna di trovarlo solo a 113 euro quindi niente da tire tra qualit e prezzo.. jbl non delude mai
Il migliore sul mercato naturalmente ,JBL non si smentisce mai ,ottimo sound ,peccato che si debba acquistare necessariamente la cinghia per il trasporto Perch non esistono ganci.
Il bluetooth si collega velocemente ed il suono spettacolare, devo ancora valutare batteria!
Best Buy!
Non perdi tempo a guardare recensioni negativi!
Ottima cassa Bluetooth come sempre da JBL, buon suono ,buona fattura, ottima qualit dei bassi.
Compratela ad occhi chiusi.
Cassa bluetooth a dir poco fantastica, la consiglio a tutti.
Potenza del suono ben oltre le mie aspettative, suono ben definito e bassi corposi.
A questo prezzo penso non ci sia niente di meglio.
J’avais la Charge 3, une belle volution, plus dynamique, plus de basses profondes, un bon quilibre. Ce qui me gnait avant l’achat c’est que la Charge 3 tait stro et celle l mono, mais finalement sur une enceinte de cette taille, pas de diffrence (et je suis audiophile). Comme d’habitude, trs bonne qualit de fabrication, bonne batterie, bref si vous cherchez une enceinte portable avec un son de qualit, je la recommande.
Du bon JBL bien puissant mais manque de prcision comme bien souvent avec JBL mais fait tout a fait le boulo
Je pensais que le son serait plus fort…mais c’est trs convenable….par contre la qualit est impressionnante !! Je recommande donc cette enceinte !!
Impressionante. Costosa pero conviene, voce molto pulito e bass buono, consiglio a tutti chi piace la musica. Suono vivo
Kvalita zvuku dobr ale jet by se mohlo zapracovat. koda e 5 nejde sprovat se 4
Innanzitutto l’estetica. L’assemblaggio perfetto, l’estetica moderna e ricercata, l’aspett accattivante e robusto ne fanno sicuramente un prodotto top di gamma, come ci si aspetta da JBL. Anche il prezzo allineato, se non leggermente pi basso rispetto ai prodotti equivalenti di altri top brand.
L’unica cosa che mi lascia perplesso la porta USB-C per la ricarica, completamente a vista: il prodotto certificato IP67, quindi immergibile in acqua. Non obietto sulla certificazione, mi sarei sentito pi sicuro se anche la USB-C, come la porta USB-A (per ricaricare telefonino altre apparecchiature) fosse stata protetta da un tappo di gomma.
La qualit della musica premetto che sono molto esigente in questo. Non condivido le recensioni entusiastiche di molti utenti: la riproduzione molto “spostata” sui toni medi e bassi (questa una caratteristica “storica” di JBL, quindi me l’aspettavo). Questo va bene per ascoltare musica “leggera”, dal pop al rock, rap r&b, eccetera.
Con musica pi complessa, dal jazz al progressive o ad artisti rock/pop pi evoluti (cito Dream Theater, Pink Floyd, Dire Straits per fare alcuni esempi) i limiti della cassa emergono tutti: la mancanza di enfasi sui toni medio alti e alti si sente parecchio. Ho fatto un confronto con un mio speaker di un noto brand tedesco, vecchio di oltre 10 anni collegato a un convertitore esterno USB/Bluetooth e alla stessa fonte e traccia (iPhone 12 e Apple Music) e la differenza di qualit di riproduzione si sente tutta.
Comunque, tornando con i piedi per terra considerando anche il target di utilizzo di questo speaker, magari in giardino o in piscina per diffondere un po’ di musica del momento o una radio, soprattutto con la comodit di poterlo poggiare ovunque senza l’impiccio di fili e cavi, lo speaker senza dubbio un’ottima scelta. Molto potente, non distorce nemmeno col volume quasi al massimo. Batteria potente, dura tantissimo.
Il Bluetooth 5.1 permette una connessione stabile e con consumi bassissimi.
Per concludere, bellissimo da vedere e piacevole da sentire. Soldi molto ben spesi, contento dell’acquisto.
La consiglio a tutti un ottimo prodotto, la qualit suono molto da giovani con bassi potenti e un giusto equilibrio con i alti
Sono soddisfatto, e una JBL 4 aggiornata, equilibrata, bella da vedere e piacevole al tatto.
Looked at reviews and What Hi Fi was on the button, with 5 stars, but number 3 on their list due to cost.
I tried and tested the Techradar “Best Bluetooth speaker in the planet” the Sonos Roam and I can say its good but not as good as this. (added extras)
Sound for both is amazing, Highs and lows being similar and clarity on point.
But for the same money the JBL gives you 50% more batt life which is an instant winner, If you run a full vol it is less than stated – which is a no brainer and still beats the others even then and on top it has a power bank included to charge up your phone etc.
Plus the JBL look oh so much cooler (Mine is Camo) and its soooooooo good…
4 v 5 – Now the 5 sounds better without a doubt, however is the extra worth it?
Well if you have the 4 and you are happy stick with it, and wait for the 6 whenever it happens as it will possibly be more of an upgrade, but if you have to have the better sound and looks with added dust proofing you wont be dissapointed, but bare in mind the 4 & 5 won’t connect as they use different tech. (I would love to hear two 5’s connected)
Sound quality for a medium sized (IMHO) portable speaker – 5 Stars
Batt Life: Top of the range – 5 stars
Portability: I bought a case as well for 15 which allows me to carry and pack it with ease so……
Without case – 4.5 Stars due to its tough design
But – 5 stars with the case as it just makes life easier (Can pick these up cheaper than mine also)
Ending with a smile – Am I glad I bit the bullet and got the JBL Charge 5? – Hell yes and I can’t wait for the weather etc. to take a U-turn so it can be used on Picnics / BBQ’s / Camping trips
