Personalized JBL Charge 5
I purchased 3 personalized JBL Charge 5’s, for my college aged kids and everywhere they take them they receive compliments on the customized print that included their names. Couldn’t be happier!!! Oh and the sound is great too!!!
Ticks every need for me!
Had mine for about year and a half. Have had alcohol spilt on it, left out in rain overnight after party, stolen for 2months, dropped while running, and thrown by my ex (shes fiesty😋). Ive only ever, after all its been through, had 2 problems with it. #1, after being yeeted into the carpet(under which is cement) the outer shell had cracked along the button axis, which generally isn't an issue. Harder to take off and put back on and doesnt connect flush with speaker housings. #2, after said yeeting, it would not turn on. I assumed it was dead, which is a fair assumption.. so i put it in a draw where i collect electronic donors for future 'Aha!' moments. It lasted not even a week in that draw before i missed it and realised how much it had became a part of my daily routine - so i took it to the shed. I hesitantly took it apart for the first time and saw that it would not turn on because...... - because, the battery......had disconnected itself 😶 Plugged it in, reassembled it, and away it went! But, with that said, it has a nice crack in the actual bones of it, and was not sealed, therefore the pressure produced by its thumping mini-sub, was escaping and making a 'sniffing' sound. So i "repaired" it -"5minute crafts" style, with a glue stick + lighter. She is going strong. I use it every single day. Even in the shower. It has probably even been more effective as support than my friends with my recent declining everything in life. In short, i would recommend this for sure.
Beyond amazing sound quality
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The jbl charge 5 is the best speaker I have ever heard! The sound is crystal clear, you can actually hear every instruments or small noice in the background. I have never heard sound more clear on any device. I was listening to sports radio on my phone and the interview was muffled and I didn’t know what they were saying, I turned on my speaker I could understand every word it is completely incredible!! The volume is amazing I can hear my speaker in the basement and throughout the house even with it on the 2nd floor. You don’t even have to turn the volume all the way up and it is the loudest speaker ever. The battery life is amazing I love that I can listen to the speaker for days and never have to charge it. My daughters favorite feature is that she can charge her phone through the speaker. It’s so convenient I am always having to bring a portable charger everywhere I go but with this speaker it is built in and the portable charger stays home it’s outstanding. This speaker is water proof and dust proof which is a feature I greatly appreciate. I am in love with this speaker and everyone who has seen and heard my jbl charge 5 is impressed. I can’t say enough about how amazing the sound is, I have never heard music the way it sounds through this speaker. It feels like the artist and all the instruments are in the same room, if you close your eyes you wouldn’t know it was a speaker and not live in front of you, my sports radio broadcasters feel like they are sitting right in front of me talking to me that is how crystal clear the sound is. I was especially surprised how well older songs with less quality sound, I have never heard oldies sound so good! I always love jbl products and expect good quality but they even blew me away with this speaker it is above and beyond!
Definitely Hefty
I bought this because my charge 4 on/off button stopped working. I loved my charge 4. This one is a bit bigger and a bit heavier, but nowhere near the heftiness of the pulse 5. The sound is pretty good, but doesn’t seem to have the deep base sound like the 4 did. As for as loudness I’m not sure as I haven’t had a purpose yet to test that feature out, but summer we shall see. And the party boost feature while nice, the connection isn’t a solid smooth one it seems to by spotty and the speakers were less than 5 feet away with no interference. And I’m not liking that I can’t connect to my older jbl speakers.
Durable for Outdoor use
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I needed a new speaker for work but needed something durable.I was hesitant to get this because looked too sexy to take to industrial environment.I took a chance and glad i did.Not only is this a beauty its a beast.The build quality is top notch the rubber sides and grill make me feel confident it will hold its own out here.Battery life is great i currently work 12 hours due to being short handed during pandemic and it has about 25% battery at end of shift while playing at about 75% volume.The type C charging port charges it up real quick about 1 hour or so.I haven't got it wet but i have got it dirty.Overall im happy and recommed if looking for something rugged yet pretty.
JBL Bass is surprisingly loud.
This JBL Bluetooth speaker is awesome. I was able to customize it with one of my artworks and it looks great. It sound amazing. I'm a big reggae fan and reggae needs a high volume of bass to Appreciate the sound of the reggae riddim and this speaker doesn't disappoint. It pushes the bass ridding in a dig way for such a small speaker. JBL realized the thumping bass is key to having a great product. Thank you I'm very happy.
Great JBL Charge 5!
I bought it a month ago and try it since then, 4/5 overall. Great overall sound quality is awesome, waterproof on point, charge in about 2 hours. I would like JBL to focus on 360° SOUND like other brand. CONS: BATTERY LIFE TIME JBL has to work on battery life as it doesn't last more than 6 hours for me on 75% volume.
Excellent sound
Fantastic product. Music is clear even at loud volumes (though I wouldn’t recommend playing it at the highest volume for extended periods of time. I love how the pause and play symbols are at each ends of the bass. And as always, its best feature is the extreme portability. I love this so much more than my JBL charge 3!
Excellent Sound
Liked it so much I bought a second to use in the party/stereo mode in my 40 x 40 workshop. Great tonal quality with the addition of the tweeter for classic rock and sixties/seventies music. Would highly recommend the JBL Portable app for firmware updates and entering the party or stereo mode.
It’s not the size that counts
This lil guy packs a HUGE punch. Perfect example of “it’s not the size that counts.” I’m honestly afraid of blowing my own ears away if I turn it up past half volume. The bass is incredible, dare I say “better than my car speakers.”
