Review: JBL Charge 5 - I purchased this speaker to play podcasts, audible books, and Sirius in and around my home. I did a search on “top Bluetooth speakers” and the JBL Charge 5 was #1 in several reviews. $180 is a hefty price so I opted for the “used/like new” option for $115. It came a few days later and looked perfect- sealed box & speaker! I also bought a silicone case: https://a.co/d/0o4lLtJ that fits it perfectly and looks great. Charge 5: The speaker is smaller than I thought it would be- about as long as a football but thinner and more cylindrical. It looks classy and has a large JBL w an exclamation point in the name- mostly black with an orange outline. The connectivity is great through Bluetooth although you can also go through wifi but I don’t understand how. If you connect through one device, you have to go into the menu of another device to switch over. The sound is very good and really rocks streaming music. The subwoofers really vibrate on both ends and the midrange & tweeter are in the middle facing forward behind the JBL! icon. In the app “JBL Portable” you can update its firmware as well as adjust a 3 bar sound equalizer. I put them all 3 all the way up for full sound, which is considerable when turned up! It has an option where you can link it to other Charge 5 speakers called “PartyBoost.” This would sound awesome..the only criticism I have about this speaker is that it is smaller and the stereo quality isn’t really there with just one unit. The charging is easy through the back is a USB-C to USB connection and so far, it has a long battery life. If you leave the speaker on without using it, it will turn off automatically after about 1 hour. There is also an ability to charge devices like cell phones in the back behind a rubber flap that is USB to whatever your device requires (see attached pic.) It comes with 1 USB to USB-C 3’ cord. co2CREA silicone case: I chose the black silicone case because there wasn’t an orange one. That would be choice #1 but the black looks classy. It fits tightly around the Charge 5 and has a handle on the top. My only criticism of this case is that the handle is soft silicone and flexes when you pick it up. If there were an embedded plastic piece in the handle it would be perfect. The slots that are open to allow sound are perfect, and the slots on the top under the handle allows you to adjust everything and see if the speaker is on. This case also comes with an adjustable shoulder strap with hook buckles that attach to raised silicone tabs. I’m not sure how much I will use this strap, but it seems pretty nice. It comes with a silver carabiner clip that can be used on one of the silicone tabs to clip to a backpack. I wouldn’t do this however, due to the softness of the silicone and the weight of the speaker.
Review: Excellent Portable Speaker With Real Battery Life - The JBL Charge 5 has been excellent. I bought it for camping, working around the shop, garage use, outdoor trips, and general everyday listening, and it has easily lived up to expectations. Sound quality is very good for the size. It gets loud, stays clear, and has enough bass to sound full without turning into muddy noise. It works equally well for music, podcasts, movies, or just background audio while working. The battery life is one of the biggest strengths. It lasts a long time between charges, and the built-in power bank feature is genuinely useful for topping off a phone or small device when you are away from outlets. For camping or travel, that is a nice feature to have. I also like that it is waterproof and built tough enough for real use. Mine has been around dust, gear, outdoors, and general abuse without any issues. The green color also looks great. For a portable Bluetooth speaker, this thing hits a really good balance of sound quality, durability, battery life, and practicality. Definitely worth it.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Will this speaker play while plugged into an outlet and passthrough charge?**
A: It says in instructions as per a lithium ion battery that you cannot set up a pattern of playing battery life down to nothing then charging. But to charge before low and don’t try to charge from low while playing as you can set a memory for low charge. I have the charge 3 and as a plumber I violated every bit of instruction letting play on a 14 hour jobsite day. And now mine shuts off even while plugged in if I play music too loud. Buying a new one now because I will try to do things differently. May not be possible. The sound quality is worth it. And its waterproof toughness came in handy more than once.

**Q: Is it louder then the charge 4?**
A: Yes, our JBL Charge 5 has a total power output of 40 watts RMS comapred to the Charge 4 wich has only produces 30 watts RMS.

**Q: Is a remote wall outlet charger included in the box..   to charge the jbl 5, unit..????**
A: Our JBL Charge 5 has the following items included in the box: 
1 x JBL Charge 5
1 x Type C USB Cable
1 x Safety Sheet
1 x Quick Start Guide
1 x Warranty Card

**Q: Whats the difference between the charge 5 and the flip 5 in just sound**
A: The Flip 5’s maximum loudness is not as low compared to the Charge 5 as you might expect. Their levels can actually compete with one another often, but how they translate sound at higher volumes differs. If you want a more cleaned-up, smooth sound with heavier bass, the Charge 5 is very tailored and cinematic. If you want a more neutral across-the-board, overall crisper sound, the Flip 5 is better fitted for your ears.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Supercharged Sound!
*by A***Y on November 21, 2023*

For so long, I convinced myself I didn’t need it, and yet when there was a discount on it, I concluded with one thing. I needed it. So of course I had to buy it and boy oh boy, is this such a great speaker. Speaking on size, this speaker was a lot bigger than I imagined. It’s a lot bigger than the Charge 3, which was pretty big in my eyes, but this feels a lot bigger. I wouldn’t say it’s the most portable speaker, unless you have a very large bag or are comfortable carrying it around. This thing will definitely be staying at home with me 80% of the time. As you can see, this thing is a lot bigger than the Flip 6 while being a lot smaller than the Xtreme 2. Speaking on the quality, this thing looks absolutely amazing. I simply love the aesthetic look and the green just looks amazing alongside the Flip 6. It feels incredibly sturdy to hold and it feels lightweight! And from my experience, the battery life is pretty fantastic, but I don’t believe it is the full 20 hours like advertised. And charging does take a bit, but the speaker being USB-C is a major convenience. Finally, let’s talk about the sound. When I compared it to the Flip 6, I was quite impressed. For the size difference, the Charge 5 comes across as much louder and retains much of its bass as you put the volume up, and against the Xtreme 2, I’m surprised at how well it held off on it’s own. I definitely prefer the Charge 5’s sound signature over the Xtreme’s. The Charge 5 is a bass monster and you can really feel it during a lot of songs. With the adjustable EQ within the JBL app, I was able to tune the speaker to how I’d like, which is always a helpful feature. Overall, the JBL Charge 5 is a loud, powerful, but also attractive and trendy looking speaker. In terms of whether you should buy this over the Flip 6, it’s really up to what you need. If you a small speaker you can easily carry around, get the Flip 6. If you want a souped up, larger, but also more powerful speaker that is a little more difficult to take on the go with you, but that’s not an issue with you. Get a Charge 5, but also wait for a discount.
