I also got the Charge 5 in black after watching your review, and I've never been disappointed. It slots in perfectly on my workstation. This speaker really packs a punch. The added perk is being able to tinker with the EQ using the JBL Portable app. Fan from South Africa 🇿🇦.
@@blanka4545 Don't even waste your time with the Flip 6 in my opinion. Regardless of whether it's one or two. I have heard comparison videos between the Charge 5 and Flip 6, and the Charge 5 kills it hands down. That's just fact. The flip 6 sounds like there is a sheet draped over it so the sound is muffled (if that makes sense). The Charge 5 is a lot more open and brighter.
I 100% percent agree with your assessment. I love my charge five! I am buying a second one today so I can play in stereo( it is Amazon prime day and selling for $119). I like the sound better than the extreme 3. I can put one or two of these in my backpack and go off to the pool. I also own a PartyBox 110 which is phenomenal, I also own two Bose S1 pros. I am a musician that plays outside and I use these for my PA. They sound fantastic but not really portable on the go. Great review on this product. Keep up the good work .
Oh man I heard this speaker, and MAN I'm invested, it actually sounds like my bookshelf speakers that are like 4 times bigger but in a small portable package, I'm very happy with it
Thank you so much Antwan for your recommendation on this speaker. Have watched your videos including the one with the Soundcore Motion Boom out near your pool, and decided to take the plunge today and get the Charge 5 today, and yes I got the blue/teal one like you because that to me looked like the better one as well. And OH MY GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. This speaker sounds SO DAMN GOOD. Doesn't matter what music I throw at it (so to speak), EVERYTHING is awesome on this speaker. And like you, even on a flat EQ, the bass is mind blowing. Thank you once again Antwan for your recommendation, man.
I just ordered this for work and I’m so excited to get my hands on it, I’ve had the old JBL speaker in high school which was 5 years ago so I definitely needed a new one !
i got 2 charge 5s and 1 boombox 3, the charge 5s sound really good even together its fire. but that bb3 with that sub woofer + eq on the app is crazy! bass thumps like nun
Very very true to the word. CHARGE 5 is an all rounded speaker coming in a sweet spot of cost vs. quality that makes it undoubtedly the best in JBL range of portable speakers up to the limit that, in my opinion, it even rivals the BOOMBOX 3! If I am to go with only one JBL speaker that fits all situations, it will definitely be the C5 with no doubt! I made a mass purchase from JBL after a long study & running of comparisons between different models & my 2 cents to any new interested buyer would be: - Go CLIP 4 for its undisputed design beauty & compact small size ultra portability still with a very satisfying audio output that makes it your easy pick whenever out & about. - CHARGE 5 is simply a MUST have if we start speaking of premium quality audio. I am in love even thinking of buying another one to activate surround mode. - BOOMBOX 3 is out of this world. It is everything you may love about JBL but on steroids :). It looks quality, feels quality & sounds quality. In a nutshell, to me, these 3 speaker models cover it all & that's why I bought them altogether.
I have the Charge 4 and wanted an upgrade. Park, bbq, car camping or short hotel stay speaker. My choice is going to be the Marshall Middleton. In all honesty, I agree with everything you said. Great vid. The form/size is punching out of its size. The Marshall is just worth the investment. Tech is getting better and the Middleton my next bluetooth speaker.
Now, maybe not in battery mode (50 watts), but when it's plugged into a wall receptacle, with the EQ used properly, the EXTREME 3 sounds really good. Even at 80-85% volume, when getting the FULL 100 watts that you paid for. It really does make for a nice speaker in the bedroom, & or in the kitchen, while doing dishes or cooking.
Thats not what its made for, its a battery powered speaker to take outside with friends, it should perform accordingly. For your purpuse you really should consider onyx studio line thats two times cheaper at least(!), you get a way smoother sound, with way more enjoyable bass. We can all agree that xtreme is just overpiced for what it is, we need more competition for it so jbl can stop raising the prices on it.
You made my day! My extreme 2 died first time on the beach when it got just a little bit of surf....out of warranty so I was out of luck on having it replaced. JBL offered me a 30% discount and I bought the Charge 5 on sale plus and additional 30% off....I really wanted the extreme 3 but glad I saved some pennies and went with the Charge 5 that is arriving today.
Just picked it up in camo today. I know I’m late to the party but it’s phenomenal! I also have the new Beats Pill and it’s good also especially with the added Apple features but the sound clarity and separation in the Charge 5 is next level! Great video!
Agreed....my jbl charge 5 vs my bose home speaker 500 .....the bose brings prestine sound quality to the music But the charge 5 makes you want to dance... brings out the fun in the music.
I've been saving money for a long time...jbl charge 5 is my dream bluetooth speaker ... Watching your reviews about this speaker makes me more inspired and more eager to get this speaker ...
My company gifted me one of these. I just throw it into my laptop bag and keep it connected to my laptop via USB for at home sound while remote. Makes zoom meetings and general travel much more enjoyable.
I Am so NOT going to agree that the JBL charge 5 sounds better than the Extreme 3. Not today or tomorrow. The Charge 5 as a standalone or paired with another sounds good. Paired in stereo mode, two (2) Charge 5 may come very close, BUT one, Nooo! I own both. Whenever I pair two Charge 5s and just one Extreme 3, the Charge 5's sound improves and become really full. So, truly, if the C5s were better, the Extreme 3 would actually decrease their sound quality; however, this is so NOT the case. I missed something with the Charge 5 and car cup holder. Yeah, I didn't get that. I truly like both the E3 and C5, inside or out. And Yes, I liked the video as well. For the most part, I agreed with everything else. The E3 and C5 have different drivers with different frequency ranges. The highs and lows between the speakers are going to different because the housing size of their actual boxes are different. The C5 is going to appear though it has better highs and mids because it has less bass the E3, the E3 is going to sound like it has less treble and mids because it has more bass than the C5. Two drivers vs four; and they're shape differently. Okay! A better comparison would be IMO, is to compare speakers in the same class with like capabilities. There is nothing muffled about either speaker as it relates to the sound that they produce. But then again, everyone's hearing and listening tastes are different as well.
just got one and well it is a beast, i can tell the battery hours will last long for me because indoors its loud at low volume next to you and outdoors medium volume is loud too. id say if the JBL flip 6 had the same sound quality as this i would have gotten it but i heard that this one had longer battery and better sound than the flip 6 so it was a no brainer but i assume anyone who gets the flip 6 will still be satisfied even if it does lack a bit of the highs and mids.
Here's my unpaid review after owning this speaker for 9 months myself. Great speaker, great sound, used it for work for 9 months and is very durable. Other than the buttons it still looked brand new. However.......here was the downside for me. The battery, literally overnight, went from 8hrs of playtime to 4 hours at 75% volume and I had to return it. It wouldn't even charge or play while plugged in. It would power down. Sadly, I'm done with JBL products. I've had earbuds that I've had to return several times and this was the last straw for me. Currently, I've switched to JLabs ear buds (going on 2yrs no issues), and the Sony ult field 1(Just bought yesterday). I will testify to one JBL product though, My wife bought the JBL Xtreme speaker from T-Mobile 6yrs ago, and its still going strong with no issues. I think it all boils down to how much its being used, yes, but also with the quality of a product. As inflation goes higher, companies buy lower quality products to build their products and they're just not built to last anymore. It's no different than anything else in this world. The phrase "They just don't build them like they used to" comes to mind but here's my actual POV, "Sometimes you get lucky, Sometimes you don't." Buy what you like, but don't get mad when you spend $300 on an over glorified paper weight. Spending more doesn't always equate to buying better. See you when the Ult field 1 dumps on me.
I got my JBL Charge 5 a couple of days ago and I’m blown away at the quality of the sound, especially when you are just listening at more casual volume 20-50%. I am having an issue though where occasionally the audio will go crackly for a few seconds and then back to normal. My phone is close to the JBL so Bluetooth shouldn’t be an issue. Has anyone else had this issue? Do I have a faulty unit?
@@erikmatteo8597 I’m playing music that is downloaded to my phone. Also I use my phone with other Bluetooth devices as well and have never had this issue.
@@erikmatteo8597 If this is normal behaviour for this speaker then I want a refund. Bluetooth devices don't just randomly skip/crackle/stutter unless their either broken or too far away from each other. This speaker has the worst Bluetooth connection of any Bluetooth device I own and I own quite a few (Sennheiser Momentum 4, Bose QC35, Apple Airpods Pro 2, Apple Airpods 2, Bose Soundlink Mini, Bluetooth car stereo). None of my other Bluetooth devices crackle and stutter unless I walk too far away from them so my conclusion is that either this device is faulty OR if this is normal, then I want a refund because it's a low-quality product. It's a shame because I like the speaker, I like the sound but I will not put up with poor quality Bluetooth.
I had a couple of time's this issue and i believe that the speaker is not magnetically shielded and it does that when the phone is very close to the speaker.
I use this thing every day and I swear by jbl speakers. I jumped from a Flip 4 to the Charge 5 and I can't put it down most days 😂 I was actually sus about the sound quality at first, because they went from 2 equal sized drivers to one bass driver and a tweeter. But it works perfectly, the sound is actually boomin for its size!!! I am wowed how such amazing sound can come from such a small device 😁also battery life is just insane I only charge it once in a while lmao
@@chewbster I see, I've never really gotten away from JBL when it comes to portable speakers. Any recommended equivalent to the charge 5? I love the quality of the charge 5 personally, it covers the full spectrum and has insane bass for its size. But I'm certainly always looking for new ways to experience my favorite music :)
@@SkepTones SoundLink Flex might seem small but the volume will amaze you. Revolve II is good too if you don't mind the size. The sound signature impressed me beyond almost anything I heard before. I hope you will prefer it too. Gotta give the charge5 what it's due. That thing looks amazing as is definitely well built and lifeproof
@@SkepTonesI'm considering the Charge 5 which is on a black Friday sale for $120. As of right now i own 3 speakers for 3 different purposes.. 1. JBL flip 4 for in house room cleaning and taking showers etc. 2. Oontz angle 3XL Ultra. Outside chores, yard work etc. It's louder than the flip 4 with 24 watts and 2 woofers 2 tweeters and 3 passive bass radiators. It is an absolute BEAST and has been for many many years. 3. JBL partybox 710. For parties and well.. pissing off the entire neighborhood 😂😂😂 I'm considering replacing my longtime baby the Oontz with the Charge 5 and becoming an all out JBL fanboy but idk yet.. the Oontz is seriously hard to beat even though its only a 24 watt speaker I've already bought 5 different speakers off Amazon (one that was 80 watts peak and one 90 watts peak) and sent every single one back because I loved the Oontz more. It's one of the best purchases I ever made for $100...
I would definitely buy it because the way it looks and the ability I can charge my phone. This month I went to the seaside and packed as usual Boombox 3 (thanks to you mate) as well as GO 3. Because I didn't want to disturb other people on the beach, most of the days I brought GO 3 and it works just perfectly but my phone cant cope 5 or 6 hours browsing , playing music, pictures, etc. I needed charging point (that's why I had to carry the extremely heavy Boombox 3, it is like a 500 meters walk to the beach with luggage and the BIG BOY) and since then I'm into buying something portable with charging phone option. It appears that CHARGE 5 is the best option. However, thanks for the review. This just proves my point. And the speaker is on the way.
I had Flip 5 and was happy. It died after 3 years, so a few days agI got Charge 5 and am blown away. You nailed it. It sounds incredible for it's size and the battery life is great. Get one if don't already have it. You will not be disappointed. Good video.
I found that the charge 5 has sufficient bass, punch, treble. Unlike the extreme 3, it sounds much better in the low and high end. Like, better calibrated. The extreme 3 has good low end, more volume. But 2x charge 5 do sound better than 1x xtreme 3. I usually get about 8-14 hours out of it at 75% volume.
Just bought one, had the charge 2+ and loved it, been rocking the Xtreme 1 for the past few years but now I’m wanting something more portable with comparable or better sound
I have 2 JBL charge 5 and 1 Flip 6 and a 310 party box and I very much agree it’s easily way louder then the flip and for 30$ more or less I think it’s definitely worth it bass is more defined and louder partyboost is amazing with the 3 of em connected no lag and great surround sound I don’t really use the 310 because I don’t get the surround sound or use partyboost but it can shake your room a little but basically yes the charge 5 is better then the flip 6 and for the price it’s better then the xtreme 3 overall 9/10 u can’t really carry around cuz it has no handle or strap like the Xtreme 3 or Flip 6 so I take a away from that but it’s way to Carry💯
thanks for the video. glad to hear it. i just got one as a Christmas gift for my son. your home décor is cool. i enjoyed your video. now i am off to listen to my legend album. peace out
i agree with you. this is my favorite of all time portable speaker. i recieve mine last week and i can't believe how its sounds.i have the same color as yours.this is my all around speaker.also my first time having JBL speaker.🔥
I just got one. Initial impression wasn't great to be honest. I found myself saying "it's good for the price" I have other far more expensive portables they should sound better, I will ADD it is playing and breaking in (Yes that is a thing) it is warming up and opening up in its sound - that's a good thing. I think it is going to prove to be a solid performer.
I picked up JBL Flip 6 over JBL Charge 5, because I was need something to fit in My pocket. After all this time I was have a great fun with it & I will continue to do that. Now I ordered JBl Xtreme 4 & that will be anather level for me. It will be a blessing :)
Mine started losing the rubber strips on the base at about 6 months and the area is so smooth and shiny they wont glue back on even with super glue and rubber cement
Great review man! I cancelled upgrading to Charge 5 from my old Charge 3 I bought two years ago because it's lack of speaker phone mode. Sorry JBL! This is a major downgrade instead. Even the old Charge 3 has it.
I had the U3 Mega boom when it first came out! I loved that speaker, but it was stolen a few months ago. I was just in Target listening to the speaker vs. the new mega boom, and I was shocked! This speaker sounds great, but no one was around to actually sell it to me, so I left!
It's surprising that the Charge 5 doesn't have a mic. The Charge 3 had one and I think the Charge 4 does as well. I got a Charge 3 for my dad years ago and I think he uses it for phone calls more than he uses it to play music.
Great vid…. I was just on Amazon trying to decide on just grabbing the charge 4 or needed the charge 5, and thanks to your vid I’m gonna get the charge 5 thanks
The "outdoorsy" feeling is a little concern for me cos I plan to use it as a desktop speaker. High quality computer desktop speakers are over the roof, reason I am considering a JBL.
You sound like you know your stuff and appreciate quality sound. I love my charge 5. It provides a great sound in a pretty small package and the battery does last a long time too. My charge 3 lasted for years and was great as well before it started sounding bad. Anyway I now use a Turtlebox exclusively and I will never look back. Check one out if you get a chance. It is larger and about 10 pounds but worth carrying to the pool or to the beach. It's completely waterproof/floats, has a 25 hour playback on 50%(which will be quite louder than the charge 5 at full blast), and when cranked up hits hard at 120 decibels. Have a good one. Cool review btw and your critique flowed nicely and kept me interested. Would love to see a review on the Turtlebox one day. Thanks man! 🔊😎🤙
Hi! I’m interested to update my jbl flip 4, I wanted to buy flip 6 or charge 5, what of these speakers do you recommend? P.S. The volume of flip 4 is enough
Hello, do you have a characteristic hum in this speaker during the pause of a given track or badly recorded music? I have a feeling that something has gone wrong.. Regards
Your Review Came By A Surprise. Me Owning A Charge 5 Really Made Me Happy! Represent! Thank You Antoine 🙂 Looking Forward For The Charge 6 Hoping You'll Be The First To Do A Feature Review ✌️
I have the Sony and tea don’t like the microphone feature. When I have the phone on silent or vibrate, the Sony speaker still rings very loudly, and the microphone is so bad that everyone complains about voice quality. I just purchased this for not having the phone feature.
Hello there, I just bought the JBL Charge 5 and hear the bass is too strong. I use it with PC (Windows). Is it possible to change (lower the bass) it? 🤫 I do not plan to use it with phone. I see people using the equalizer on the phone, would it change the sound on PC if I changed it in the app? 🙂 (It is funny how you HAVE to have a phone even if you do not want to use it with it, I did not know it before buying) Thank you for the help. 😉
The wifi version sounds even better when using wifi compared to Bluetooth. Over wifi is uncompressed and crystal clear and a bit more volume if desired. $119 at Costco right now.
I am saving money to buy a JBL Charge 5. This would be my first portable bluetooth speaker ever and my first JBL speaker. Every review I've ever seen or heard about it is positive.
Hi! Does it fit for a small pool party? Do you know the Huawei joy speaker? I´ve seen reviews about it, and all match about a very good quality. Could you please let me know your opinion between those two speakers? Greetings from Mexico!!
Yes it is the best one. Flip is super for podcasts and super high tone quality, but the charge has the bass... I use 2 charge 5 in stereo mode and it's crazy for the price.
I just got a charge 5 and there no bass I downloaded the app update the speaker and played with eq still no bass. It’s load but so bass, did I get a defective speaker?
my charge 5 gets warm while using it at moderate volume (50% below) especially at the power and bluetooth botton. is it normal?, just bought it yesterday... ND model.
Hi everyone. I bought my first ever speaker JBL Charge 5.. It sounds amazing especially the BASSSSS... after a whole day of music listening, the next day, the bass and general sound is even smoother/better and more pleasant. Does speakers need to be worn down a bit (like shoes😂) in general to get the best sounds?
Been using it for few month without any issue. Keep it quite for 2 mths+. Restart it & felt the Bass don't sound the same anymore. It doesn't givee the Bass punch anymore. Downloaded the apps & tried max up the Bass & still could get the Bass feel anymore. Anyone hv such issue? or it's juZ my ear is degrading.

I got my JBL Charge 5 a couple of days ago and I’m blown away at the quality of the sound, especially when you are just listening at more casual volume 20-50%. I am having an issue though where occasionally the audio will go crackly for a few seconds and then back to normal. My phone is close to the JBL so Bluetooth shouldn’t be an issue. Has anyone else had this issue? Do I have a faulty unit?
doubt it may just be the wifi
@@erikmatteo8597 I’m playing music that is downloaded to my phone. Also I use my phone with other Bluetooth devices as well and have never had this issue.
@@The.JZA. well it that case i still doubt that its faulty sometimes that just happends there can be millions of different reasons
@@erikmatteo8597 If this is normal behaviour for this speaker then I want a refund. Bluetooth devices don't just randomly skip/crackle/stutter unless their either broken or too far away from each other. This speaker has the worst Bluetooth connection of any Bluetooth device I own and I own quite a few (Sennheiser Momentum 4, Bose QC35, Apple Airpods Pro 2, Apple Airpods 2, Bose Soundlink Mini, Bluetooth car stereo). None of my other Bluetooth devices crackle and stutter unless I walk too far away from them so my conclusion is that either this device is faulty OR if this is normal, then I want a refund because it's a low-quality product. It's a shame because I like the speaker, I like the sound but I will not put up with poor quality Bluetooth.
I had a couple of time's this issue and i believe that the speaker is not magnetically shielded and it does that when the phone is very close to the speaker.
Man I love your video, your voice and your comments !!
Thank you very much it's been very helpful !!
💪
I use this thing every day and I swear by jbl speakers. I jumped from a Flip 4 to the Charge 5 and I can't put it down most days 😂 I was actually sus about the sound quality at first, because they went from 2 equal sized drivers to one bass driver and a tweeter. But it works perfectly, the sound is actually boomin for its size!!! I am wowed how such amazing sound can come from such a small device 😁also battery life is just insane I only charge it once in a while lmao
you need to try Bose if sound quality is important. Charge5 is great if you only care about raw volume
@@chewbster I see, I've never really gotten away from JBL when it comes to portable speakers. Any recommended equivalent to the charge 5? I love the quality of the charge 5 personally, it covers the full spectrum and has insane bass for its size. But I'm certainly always looking for new ways to experience my favorite music :)
@@SkepTones SoundLink Flex might seem small but the volume will amaze you. Revolve II is good too if you don't mind the size.
The sound signature impressed me beyond almost anything I heard before. I hope you will prefer it too.
Gotta give the charge5 what it's due. That thing looks amazing as is definitely well built and lifeproof
@@SkepTonesI'm considering the Charge 5 which is on a black Friday sale for $120. As of right now i own 3 speakers for 3 different purposes.. 1. JBL flip 4 for in house room cleaning and taking showers etc. 2. Oontz angle 3XL Ultra. Outside chores, yard work etc. It's louder than the flip 4 with 24 watts and 2 woofers 2 tweeters and 3 passive bass radiators. It is an absolute BEAST and has been for many many years. 3. JBL partybox 710. For parties and well.. pissing off the entire neighborhood 😂😂😂
I'm considering replacing my longtime baby the Oontz with the Charge 5 and becoming an all out JBL fanboy but idk yet.. the Oontz is seriously hard to beat even though its only a 24 watt speaker I've already bought 5 different speakers off Amazon (one that was 80 watts peak and one 90 watts peak) and sent every single one back because I loved the Oontz more. It's one of the best purchases I ever made for $100...
I would definitely buy it because the way it looks and the ability I can charge my phone. This month I went to the seaside and packed as usual Boombox 3 (thanks to you mate) as well as GO 3. Because I didn't want to disturb other people on the beach, most of the days I brought GO 3 and it works just perfectly but my phone cant cope 5 or 6 hours browsing , playing music, pictures, etc. I needed charging point (that's why I had to carry the extremely heavy Boombox 3, it is like a 500 meters walk to the beach with luggage and the BIG BOY) and since then I'm into buying something portable with charging phone option. It appears that CHARGE 5 is the best option.
However, thanks for the review. This just proves my point. And the speaker is on the way.
Makes sense to buy now ? The charge 6 might launch soon ?
I had Flip 5 and was happy. It died after 3 years, so a few days agI got Charge 5 and am blown away. You nailed it. It sounds incredible for it's size and the battery life is great.
Get one if don't already have it. You will not be disappointed. Good video.
How did it die
@@shelovedzynx7327 From side effects caused by the 2x boosters, but we not supposed to talk about that
Been owning the jbl charge 5 and must say this is a amazing speaker for the price
I found that the charge 5 has sufficient bass, punch, treble. Unlike the extreme 3, it sounds much better in the low and high end. Like, better calibrated. The extreme 3 has good low end, more volume. But 2x charge 5 do sound better than 1x xtreme 3. I usually get about 8-14 hours out of it at 75% volume.
Just bought one, had the charge 2+ and loved it, been rocking the Xtreme 1 for the past few years but now I’m wanting something more portable with comparable or better sound
I have 2 JBL charge 5 and 1 Flip 6 and a 310 party box and I very much agree it’s easily way louder then the flip and for 30$ more or less I think it’s definitely worth it bass is more defined and louder partyboost is amazing with the 3 of em connected no lag and great surround sound I don’t really use the 310 because I don’t get the surround sound or use partyboost but it can shake your room a little but basically yes the charge 5 is better then the flip 6 and for the price it’s better then the xtreme 3 overall 9/10 u can’t really carry around cuz it has no handle or strap like the Xtreme 3 or Flip 6 so I take a away from that but it’s way to Carry💯
thanks for the video. glad to hear it. i just got one as a Christmas gift for my son. your home décor is cool. i enjoyed your video. now i am off to listen to my legend album. peace out
Your videos have been very helpful. I selected a custom color Charge 5. :)
i agree with you. this is my favorite of all time portable speaker. i recieve mine last week and i can't believe how its sounds.i have the same color as yours.this is my all around speaker.also my first time having JBL speaker.🔥
I just got one. Initial impression wasn't great to be honest. I found myself saying "it's good for the price" I have other far more expensive portables they should sound better, I will ADD it is playing and breaking in (Yes that is a thing) it is warming up and opening up in its sound - that's a good thing. I think it is going to prove to be a solid performer.
How is it now?
I picked up JBL Flip 6 over JBL Charge 5, because I was need something to fit in My pocket. After all this time I was have a great fun with it & I will continue to do that. Now I ordered JBl Xtreme 4 & that will be anather level for me. It will be a blessing :)
Great delivery and informative content. Thank you.
Hello
So I purchased one second hand with no charger
So my question to you is what chargeur do you use and that's all 😊
Any USB-C phone charger should work
I'm torn between Charge 5 and Flip 6. Suggestions?
Mine started losing the rubber strips on the base at about 6 months and the area is so smooth and shiny they wont glue back on even with super glue and rubber cement
Leave all the strips out and only place on a flat and clean surface...100% guaranteed no problem
Great review man! I cancelled upgrading to Charge 5 from my old Charge 3 I bought two years ago because it's lack of speaker phone mode. Sorry JBL! This is a major downgrade instead. Even the old Charge 3 has it.
I had the U3 Mega boom when it first came out! I loved that speaker, but it was stolen a few months ago. I was just in Target listening to the speaker vs. the new mega boom, and I was shocked! This speaker sounds great, but no one was around to actually sell it to me, so I left!
My charge 4 just died, after 3 years of abuse. Your videos just convinced me thanks man. Hugs from Italy
It's surprising that the Charge 5 doesn't have a mic. The Charge 3 had one and I think the Charge 4 does as well. I got a Charge 3 for my dad years ago and I think he uses it for phone calls more than he uses it to play music.
Great vid…. I was just on Amazon trying to decide on just grabbing the charge 4 or needed the charge 5, and thanks to your vid I’m gonna get the charge 5 thanks
Charge 5 is a Beast
The "outdoorsy" feeling is a little concern for me cos I plan to use it as a desktop speaker. High quality computer desktop speakers are over the roof, reason I am considering a JBL.
You sound like you know your stuff and appreciate quality sound. I love my charge 5. It provides a great sound in a pretty small package and the battery does last a long time too. My charge 3 lasted for years and was great as well before it started sounding bad. Anyway I now use a Turtlebox exclusively and I will never look back. Check one out if you get a chance. It is larger and about 10 pounds but worth carrying to the pool or to the beach. It's completely waterproof/floats, has a 25 hour playback on 50%(which will be quite louder than the charge 5 at full blast), and when cranked up hits hard at 120 decibels. Have a good one. Cool review btw and your critique flowed nicely and kept me interested. Would love to see a review on the Turtlebox one day. Thanks man! 🔊😎🤙
Is it normal that my charge 5 only last like 4 to 5 hrs in 50-60% volume??
Have same problem. Dishonest of them
hi, I was just wondering if the speakers blinking light will turn into a solid light bar before turning off when it's fully charged?
ANSWER PLEAASEE
That speaker is considered stereo? Can I hook that unit up with BlueTooth to my Samsung TV, and control the volume from the TV?
Quality content. Subscribed ❤
I got one for half the price over one year ago, and I don´t regret it. Had a Charge 4 before and that wasn´t as good soundwise.
Thanks for the review. What colour is yours?
I Partyboost a Charge 5 and two Flip 5’s and it sounds SO good.
Hi! I’m interested to update my jbl flip 4, I wanted to buy flip 6 or charge 5, what of these speakers do you recommend? P.S. The volume of flip 4 is enough
Hello, do you have a characteristic hum in this speaker during the pause of a given track or badly recorded music? I have a feeling that something has gone wrong.. Regards
Im glad to hear that its better sound quality than extreme 3 cause i was on the verge of which to buy and at the end I went for this Charge 5 😅
All of the others don't cut it so I like the design not a light show and I like having Quality sound for the size of JBL
Your Review Came By A Surprise. Me Owning A Charge 5 Really Made Me Happy! Represent! Thank You Antoine 🙂 Looking Forward For The Charge 6 Hoping You'll Be The First To Do A Feature Review ✌️
Yo man.. wicked review... coming in hot with the tunes aswell.. was about to sound hound that song until you said
Your views are going to blow up just now keep the good work up😊
This is great. How would you compare this monster vs Bose sound linkFlex and UE megaboom 3. Thanks
I have the Sony and tea don’t like the microphone feature. When I have the phone on silent or vibrate, the Sony speaker still rings very loudly, and the microphone is so bad that everyone complains about voice quality. I just purchased this for not having the phone feature.
I think I'm going to pick up a charge 5 soon. It sounds like it has similar qualities to my Sony SRS-X55 in terms of quality and bass
Is it worth buying now in December 2023 or should I wait for new JBL speakers launch
Hello there, I just bought the JBL Charge 5 and hear the bass is too strong. I use it with PC (Windows). Is it possible to change (lower the bass) it? 🤫 I do not plan to use it with phone. I see people using the equalizer on the phone, would it change the sound on PC if I changed it in the app? 🙂 (It is funny how you HAVE to have a phone even if you do not want to use it with it, I did not know it before buying) Thank you for the help. 😉
Thanks for the review! Have you used two of them in stereo mode? What was your experience with app (JBL Portable) stability in stereo mode. Thanks.
Thanks for watching. I actually made a video about pairing 2 of them together. They sound Great!
Great review Brother - Thank You 🙏
The wifi version sounds even better when using wifi compared to Bluetooth. Over wifi is uncompressed and crystal clear and a bit more volume if desired. $119 at Costco right now.
can you do a video pairing up your projector please and what brand it is
Hey…was just wondering if I have to buy the flip 5, flip6 or the wonderboom 3
Been hearing good things about the Voonex arc wave for the price! You like to hear your review on that!
I am saving money to buy a JBL Charge 5. This would be my first portable bluetooth speaker ever and my first JBL speaker. Every review I've ever seen or heard about it is positive.
Hi!
Does it fit for a small pool party?
Do you know the Huawei joy speaker? I´ve seen reviews about it, and all match about a very good quality.
Could you please let me know your opinion between those two speakers?
Greetings from Mexico!!
Yes it is the best one. Flip is super for podcasts and super high tone quality, but the charge has the bass... I use 2 charge 5 in stereo mode and it's crazy for the price.
How much will this be on 2023 black friday? Its $150 at walmart today. I never had a jbl yet🎉. Thanks 4 the video
Bought JBL Charge today at $124.41 from Bangladesh. Great 1 for sure.
Just bought my second one 5 minutes ago I love the charge 5 pretty much anything JBL makes is quality products
I just got a charge 5 and there no bass I downloaded the app update the speaker and played with eq still no bass. It’s load but so bass, did I get a defective speaker?
Charge 5 or Xtreme 2 with negligible difference in price???
my charge 5 gets warm while using it at moderate volume (50% below) especially at the power and bluetooth botton. is it normal?, just bought it yesterday... ND model.
You read my mind. I’m looking for a JBL Charge 5 with Microphone for conference calls. Do you have any recommendations?
The best all round portable BT speaker Hands down.
How does it work with Rock, classics and jazz?
I just bought the TT model, is that bad or good bro, please I need to know ? Thank you ❤
Hi everyone. I bought my first ever speaker JBL Charge 5.. It sounds amazing especially the BASSSSS...
after a whole day of music listening, the next day, the bass and general sound is even smoother/better and more pleasant.
Does speakers need to be worn down a bit (like shoes😂) in general to get the best sounds?
Yes the speakers are stiff because the are new once used they will loosen up an sound much better
Thanks this will be a last minute gift idea
Does jbl charge 5
Have built in microphone for phone calls ?
Not a bad sounding 👌🏾 unit! I gotta get one ✌🏾. Don't they come in different colors and sizes 🤔?
You can get it in only different colors, the size is the same on all Charge 5 speakers.
Thank you for review 😊😊
hi, where did you get your replacement ear pads for your Crusher Evo?
Ok brother charge 5 at 150 or sony xg300 at 200? Which is the best one to get?
I have same price for xg300 and charge 5. Which to pick?
Been using it for few month without any issue. Keep it quite for 2 mths+. Restart it & felt the Bass don't sound the same anymore. It doesn't givee the Bass punch anymore.
Downloaded the apps & tried max up the Bass & still could get the Bass feel anymore.
Anyone hv such issue? or it's juZ my ear is degrading.
