I really liked the Charge 5 sound signature, the highs make it sound so clean mostly in low and medium volumes. Nice review bro, complete and with good samples. You should also try the Soundcore speakers, specially the Motion Plus and Motion Boom, they cost a half of the Charge 5, and sound almost as good, and in some cases even better (with custom eq, the default eq is not so good in either of the two)
I like how you say which one is better.. thats what I mostly looking forward in a comparison to hear because its hard to tell the difference besides loudness. Thank you
Hey Picky, I really think you should try the Soundcore motion boom. I know you like your bass and it really delivers in that department while being much cheaper than many alternatives. To put it in perspective you can buy two to pair in TWS for roughly the price of one jbl charge 5 where I live. It doesn't sound the best out of the box but also has an adjustable eq via the Soundcore app (that you must utilize to bring it to its full potential). Hopefully you get a chance to check it out in the future. Thanks for another great Picky review! 🙌
Hey James, I've been watching your videos since you first came on the scene and you've established yourself as one of my favorite reviewers. You're always honest about the product, you have great production values, and you clearly know what you're talking about. Keep up the great work 👍🏿. You'll be at 100k before you know it!
Defo auto powers off, had mine a few months, upgraded from Flip 4, and love it. It takes a bit longer than the Flip 4 to power off, but it defo does it. I usually watch your vids for the earbuds, was good to see this review. Great review Pal 👍
Did you break in the speakers at all? Makes a huge difference! At least 30 hrs I've heard. I've got the tribit stormbox Pro, and the sound is premium after breaking in speakers for over 30 hrs! Try it. You will not be disappointed. When I first opened my Tribits and tried them, I was definitely questioning my purchase. But after breaking them in, I was amazed at the shift in tone and clarity! Just sayin'
I have 6 party boost speakers and party boost is fantastic. 60 feet away in the backyard makes pool parties fantastic. You can get an immersive experience with lower volume levels
This is what UA-cam reviews should be like. Most reviewers are so damn diplomatic and say it depends on this, that etc . Just saying which one was better in sound quality was a big deal really.
The thing about these JBL speakers is that all the newer ones are all mono except the Xtreme. For rap and hip hop it’s fine I guess but for any rock and metal the guitars get buried in the mix especially the rhythm guitars cause they are recorded one left stereo channel and one right stereo channel. I think the Tribit (which is stereo) is better balanced and sounds better especially with a little eq. Also the Tribit sounds better in the middle of the room or further away from the wall as it’s a 360 unit and the 2 speakers are on either side making it different from the JBL which is directional and that’s going to make the JBL sound “clearer”. BTW I own a Stormbox Pro, Charge 5 and Xtreme 2
I believe you covered just about everything I would want to know and a big thank you from N. California. I love my JBL Reflect Minis and I'm going to pick up the clip 3 thanks again man great job. 👏👏🇺🇸

For sure! Soundcore don’t seem to like me for whatever reason. I’ll probably just have to buy it 😊

Very true! I’m not a fan of the mono set up to be honest

I still give it to the Tribit Storm pro 👌
Dang that Stormbox bro sounds amazing
I've been waiting for this review thanks bro!Btw Nice review very detailed
Thank you 🙏
The difference btw 4 and 5 are subtle...but for the price charge 4 better choice

Yep 👍
Hi friend.
Can you tell me between Tribit Stormbox Pro vs Soundcore Motion Plus.
Which is better.
Thanks Friend.
Yet to test the motion plus
It means motion plus is better, right?
Then, how you want to suggest between motion plus and Bose SoundLink Revolve?
Charge 5 or stormbox pro which better loudness??
Stormbox pro
@@pickyaudio or bass?
Any recommendations for basshead tws under 100$??
SoundPEATS H1 or sonic. Check out my reviews. If you can get the jabra elite 75t cheap they are my number 1 though.
@@pickyaudio How about apollo Bold??
Yes forgot about them! They are up there as well still. More boomy than those two as well
@@pickyaudio Okayyy i think i will go for the Bold😁, thank you so much anywayyy
Planning to get 1 for my room, so unless I wanna blow my room away with max volume on extreme 2/3, the charge 5 sounds better overall?
Yep 😊
My Charge 3 is still working great
Nice JBL speakers don’t die. My first gen GO is still going strong
Hello. Plz can u suggest me something better than JBL Charge 5. In Bose or Marshall Brand. I really want to buy premium brand. Thanks
18:41 tribit sounds Better
there is no difference is sound btw charge 4 5....may be tad better...but it's useless as charge costs 40 percent more...which is a bummer...lol
Party boost is the best. I use 6 speakers around the back yard to have great pool parties
I want that Marshal boom box do have that coming next
Hopefully Marshall hooks me up 😻
@@pickyaudio that would be cool if they did they make some nice color ways to
C5 all d way👍
Awesome charge 5 👌
Hello friend.
Can you help me please.
Which model of Sony Bluetooth speaker is better than JBL Charge 4.
Thanks friend.
Hey I Haven’t tested and Sony speakers sadly
Anyhow, thanks friend.
Xtreme2 or charge5 at same price which one should i get?
Xtreme 2 👍
The bass on the xtreme 2 is a little better, but much brighter on the charge 5, it’s strange because the xtreme 2 has 2 tweeter’s.
👍👍👍
