Great Party Speaker

2 years ago

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Immediately from when I unboxed this speaker I fell in love with it, what could be better, a versatile party speaker that is a boom box with a built in disco light. It has the signature JBL “Looks can be deceiving” (a relatively small innocent looking speaker that can blare at unearthly decibels) all while maintaining the clear crisp sound. It feels sturdy and well built with a stylish design and is actually waterproof ( I took it into the shower, see attached video). My one complaint is that there are no volume controls on the speaker, but everything else makes up for that. All in all a must by any party. FIVE STARS

JBL Pulse 5 great light show with decent sound.

2 years ago

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Let me start off by saying this is a beautiful looking speaker.the JBL Pulse 5 is a amazing speakerin its own way .This speaker has a light show thats mesmerizing. I thought it was sought of gimmicky at first untill i put in a dark room and started to learn how to use the App to use all the different light effects and it amazed me.The sound is pretty decent it will fill a small to a large room up with good sound even though the bass isn't that strong ,but its so much you can get from a speaker this size.If you want a real party speaker i think you should get one of JBL larger speaker.But if you want something with good sound and a amazing light show to set the mood, get the JBL Pulse 5.

Awesome visual speaker with good sound!

2 years ago

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] If you're looking for a speaker that gets even more visual attention then it does sound, this is the one! Everyone that I've played this for is amazed by the show it puts on. Pair it up with another JBL with Partyboost and you can fill the room with sound! If you're looking for just room filling sound and no light show, this isn't the speaker for you. If you're looking to chill and enjoy a show, this is the one! The app has a bunch of lightshow options along with the normal JBL EQ and Partyboost features. This also makes a great "lamp". You can change the lights without being connected to a phone. You can also use this is a sound machine with a show! All together I give this a 10 out of 5 for the show, and a 4 out of 5 for the sound.

One of the coolest speakers you'll ever own

2 years ago

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] One of the coolest speakers you'll ever own. Not only does the Pulse 5 have quality sound output but it's ability to change color and pulse to the music is super entertaining and almost mesmerizing. The build quality is impressive, feels very durable and also waterproof. I use mine in my living room at night and it turns into a mini festival. The app is very useful since it allows complete customization of the lights, whether it's the pattern or color! I even got the chance to use the partyboost feature, which allows multiple Bluetooth connections to other JBL speakers, it turned my house into a concert with multiple sources of music. The light output is what sets the Pulse 5 apart from other speakers, it's like a lava lamp that plays music, is portable and waterproof. What else could you need!

Super cool lights and sound!

2 years ago

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The JBL Pulse 5 is AMAZING! I recommend it for anyone who is looking for a smaller size speaker with great sound and a great lightshow to boot. My daughter used this for a party at our house recently and the kids went wild over the lights. JBL's app let's you control the lights with your phone. Another big plus! The sound is JBL crystal clear. The Pulse 5 stayed charged for the entire party and there was no need to charge the next day either. It is supposed to have 12 hours of play time, but we did not let it go dead. I love the carry strap. It looks like a large coffee cup when not plugged in! No need to worry about rain. This speaker is water resistant. It looks SUPER COOL! I recommend it for anyone, but especially anyone with a child at college. This is also a great dorm speaker. I'm buying one for both my girls.

Commands attention with the lights & amazing sound

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Pulse 5 is a nice sized portable speaker with powerful sound & bass. The quality sound is strong and clear no matter the genre of music or entertainment being played on it. The colors the speaker projects are so vibrant & captivating, you can't help but stare at it while awesome tunes play! This speaker commands attention with the cascade of light it gives out. It's perfect for gatherings or just hanging out.

Great way to visualize sound & that Bass!

2 years ago

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I can't stop looking at it while the music is playing, it is a great way to visualize sound. The bass gives the thump & visual gives it a great sensory! Lights are stealing the show, but that doesn't mean the sound is any less. It is a physics marvel how this full sound is coming from the speaker this size.

This Bluetooth speaker is a superstar!

2 years ago

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Its audio quality is really good for a Bluetooth speaker and I'm impressed with its volume output. A party speaker that’s designed to look almost like a lava lamp with a 360-degree light show, it syncs to the beat of your songs, dancing along with loads of vibrant colors and patterns. The App lets you change the color schemes and patterns, there are also ambient sounds built in that can be used when not streaming music to set the mood such as rain, crickets, traffic etc. I just received the speaker before the holidays and it turned out to be a to be a superstar at all my holiday gatherings and now that holidays are over I use it at the gym and pool to provide motivating beats. I know I will use this in the backyard, at the park and by the beach as it is water and dust proof with 12 hours of battery life. The light show is amazing, not sure if my pictures do it justice, especially at night by the pool. I was also able to connect another JBL Bluetooth speaker for stereo sound.

Speaker + Disco Lights

Unbelievably Great Product - Highly Recommend

2 years ago

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This speaker truly is an incredible product. From the first moment out of the box and every single test or experience exceeded expectations. From a sound standpoint alone, the range is very impressive. Testing throughout a variety of ranges, from classical to rap, the treble maintains clarity at all volumes and the bass is never so heavy to affect or influence the quality. Cranking the speaker to full volume yielded similarly impressive results. The sound could easily be heard from across the street in a residential neighborhood with the door closed. The light show, while it wasn't initially an appealing factor, is really cool. Paired with the waterproof feature, the speaker is great by the hot tub (although it's easy to let the volume get carried away!) App integration is actually one of my favorite features for the speaker. As soon as the app is downloaded, you can set a variety of different features including: light color and speed, equalizer preferences, and even integrate ambient sound for a neat sleep feature. Overall, this speaker is fun with outstanding features and while the price point is on the higher end of the spectrum, it certainly delivers on performance!
