UPDATE: Great news, since filming this video JBL has released a software update for the Charge 5 to access those EQ adjustments! Firmware 0.8.2.0 will allow you to adjust Bass, Mid and Treble on your Charge 5.
I just use the EQ on my android phone, no need to update, works great
pls do a ue boom 3 vs jbl charge 5
@@jimbo4203 but you won’t always have this phone so it’s worth turning off your android eq and for you to try at the app

Nice I have the Charge 4 - but just ordered the flip6 because on weekends I like going to the beach with friends, and now the police don't like the big volumes of the charge 4/5 and confiscate them. everyone is switching to smaller speakers, let's hope I am ok, but when I DJ I have my friends bring their Charges and we link together to make a nice dj setup then shut down when the police come around :)
Very helpful, thank you!
Fantastic video!
The sound on Flip 6 is much crisp and clearer bass than Charge 5, bought them both tested them side by side, build quality on charge 5 is trash and the sound is more muffled than flip 6 at low-mid volume which is a complete downsight because you're not gonna start a party everyday, lets be realistic, choose the Flip 6, it has everything you need, you'll thank me
I agree flip 6 sound crispier on this test here; I noticed it so flip 6 for me
Agreed, flip 6 sounds much crispier and more open
Thanks fot great review. Very happy to hear a review from a Brit! I wish you could compare the house of Marley get together with these JBL speakers, it would be really helpful for us.
Great review 👍
Just got my charge 5 yesterday and so far I’m enjoying it. Use it while working on the jet skis and took to the beach and it has pretty good sound to it. I like how solid it feels!
Thanks for sharing, hope you enjoy the Charge 5.
Thank you for this great review! I can now make my decision. And also very good to understand - I'm from Germany.
I bought Flip 6 and thank you for your review 😃👌🏼
Got a flip6 to mount on my Escooter…
I tried to get a charge 5 or charge essential to mount but it just wasn’t practical.
Really happy with the flip 6 - both are great speakers so depends on your use case.
Good Video thank you
I've been very content with buying the Flip but having watched this, I'm now considering the Charge
Honestly it's for two different tpye of budgets and for different use, u can compare the 2 it's just kinda dumb, i wanted an easy to carry light but good sounding speaker with decent battery life, so for me it was no question to go for the flip.
I got the Flip 5 for my birthday and coming from true hifi, I'm actually really surprised by how nice it sounds! Great little box for on the go. I don't need a big box for the go, since I literally have huge boxes at home already lol.
Thanks for this review. I will buy the Charge 5 as portability fir me will just be moving it from room to room and I prefer the better sound quality.
My charge 5 has already have the EQ firmware update since new year
Excellent review. This is how a product video review should be made.
I am surprised that the Flip 6 came even somewhere close to the Charge 5. I have a Flip 4 and will buy the Charge 5 for battery life.
Glad you enjoyed! Thanks for the support 😀
Great video... helped me decide. Needed to replace my Flip 5 and wasn't sure which way to go... Charge 5 JUST nicked it after watching this.
I have both,Sound Great.
Useful vid thank you. I know these work in party mode together but can you also use as a stereo pair? or would you need 2x flip6 or 2x charge 5 to achieve that? thank you
you need two of the same speaker to do stereo unfortunately, so that would mean 2x flip 6 or 2x charge 5
So you can configure 2 x flip 6 to 1 x left channel and 1 x right channel?

I bought both the JBL Flip 6 and Charge 5. I agree with your review. For my ears though, the Flip 6 sounds better at very low volumes, like 5% to around 30%, but the Charge 5 really pulls ahead at louder volumes around 40% to 80%. The flip 6 doesn't sound nearly as good at 100% when pushing it to the max. The Charge 5 handles max volumes better with the larger speakers inside. I use my Flip 6 for voice Podcasts listening at low volume levels (under 40%), and it's super portable & fits in a car cup holder too. Now that both speakers have EQ after the charge 5 firmware update, I keep both at +1 bass.
Is it true that the charge 5 is almost as loud as the xtreme 2?
@@justabasslover4404 I don't know how loud the xtreme 2 is, I never heard it or tried one before. All I know is that my Charge 5 can get VERY very loud. I normally run it at half volume to fill a large room with mid to loud sound. At 75% volume, the speaker can be loud for my whole house. At full volume, you can hear the speaker outside, and the neighbors will get angry. There is minimal difference between Charge 5 and Xtreme 2, but the xtreme 2 probably gets a bit louder, but who needs that volume unless you're having a party outdoors, right?
If you had to pick one, which one would it be?
@@crocrystal4864 The Charge 5. It's bigger, louder, and can produce lower lows, and higher highs, because the internal speakers are both larger and have more power. I now have two Charge 5's, and I use them in stereo mode. Great sound, fills my room nicely.
@@TheMacGeek thanks!
Those speakers are looking so pretty, damn
At very low volumes, does the Flip produce any hissing/static noise when running? Like when you listen to a podcast in a quiet room at low volume...
I've a jbl boom box 2 for party boost with heavy bass which i don't want all the tine in subtle music/vocals ? Want an additional speaker. Pls suggest
I have a lot of JBL... Boom3, extreme3, charge5, and clip4. been thinking about gettting the flip6 to replace my clip, cause its not much bigger and has alot better sound for a small spreaker. I never imagined it would be close to the charge in preformance!
Interesting review, but now I can't decide which hairstyle I prefer ?
Hello from Turkey. Thanks for the informative and to the point review. I think I will buy Charge 5 as I care too much about the bass and my idea of portability is moving to a different room in my house :)
Thanks for the comment and glad the video was helpful. The charge 5 is a great speaker.
merhaba
Coz iyi abi
Hiii I have also seen some other reviews.. now I am unsure which to pick between JBL Charge 5 or Bose Soundlink - I am a Family Photographer who shots outdoor by the sea, in the public parks ecc .. Thanks!
I have flip 6. It's amazing size and sound
Very heavily used 6 year old UE Boom just died, so looking for a replacement. I only carried it in a backpack a couple of times, so being super portable isn’t really an issue. I mostly moved it between the kitchen, bathroom and garden. And used it a lot on camping trips and holidays. So I think I can live with slightly more bulk if it means I get much better sound. The Charge 5 is still super portable- just less so if you want to carr6 it in a backpack. Just ordered the Charge 5
I’ve had a UE wonder boom and it’s still alive after years of being beatin’ the crap out of it.. it still works like a charm.. besides the charger port is messed up, its hard to get the charger to charge it probably because I’ve messed up the charger port at one point during it’s long adventure, looking for other options that are good quality and portable so lmk if anyone has any ideas for around 100$ obviously lesser the better lol
@@dixienormis6836 The Charge 5 is excellent. I’m very happy with it. Feels like a significant upgrade over the UB.
battery died not the device
Thanks an excellent comparison as I had been struggling to decide on which. The only thing I was left wondering was how useful the eq on the Flip 6 would be to me.
"Just read your update. Fantastic Charge 5 for me it is then
Me buying the charge 5 not that long ago I got the app where you can update the software on you charge 5 to access the EQ
The charge 5 looks amazing, it sounds better than my xb43
My very first speaker from jbl was a charge 3 and later I bought the first gen boombox. Still have both to this day. They work great. Recently picked up a partybox 310, extreme 3 and charge 5 which are solid speakers but the extreme 3 is pretty pricey at $350 and honestly I'd pick another 1st gen boombox over the ex.3 since it's the same price now. Just got a flip 6 today for 60 dollars and it's pretty good but idk if it's worth $130 at normal price when you can get a charge 5 for $150. Overall I think a charge 3 is the best value since it is more powerful than the flip model and only costs around 75 dollars new today. My overall best pick for loudest and deep bass is the 310. Costs the same as the latest boombox but has 2x the power.
Which song is playing during sound test?
I have both the Charge 5 and Flip 6 at home, they are both solid speakers but i do have one issue with the charge 5's powerbank feature; it doesnt charge my phone quickly. Now i get that fast charging is not available but with my phone (6000 Ma/h battery) it said 10h until full which is really slow in my opinion. In terms of sound though they are both really good especially with the EQ adjustments
That's because you must use the JBL Charge 5 charger cable so it can chart faster
I think i am getting flip 6, I need it for snowboarding. What do you think. Is it the right choice?
can't afford this speakers but hopefully soon I'll have one.
How much did you spend at Taco Bell last month???
Gonna break the bank with this purchase...
Just work hard and you will reward an awesome items. ❤️❤️❤️
Eyy guys i got it at $113 👌
@@edwinpepito1498 me I just got it yesterday, charge 5
Was thinking of getting the flip 6, but my wife surprised me with a charge 5 as a gift. After watching your video yes the charge 5 has a better bass.
so your wife loves you more than you do 😁
I upgraded from a charge 4 to an xtreme 3 and wow the difference 😅
I have the charge 5 and I love it!
I can’t believe after all this time I never knew that there was a JBL app to adjust the equalizer
I got jbl go3 last year and hopefully i Manifesting my jbl charge 5 this year🖤💫😍
I am having Charge 5 for one year now exactly, sound quality is insane, only bad side is his build quality, for example I've had to open it and fix loose battery connection, if i wasn't determined enough he would end up in garbage, so keep it in mind when it comes to build quality inside of the speaker.
I used a flip 5 for 2 years... Until it was recently stolen....so I decided to get the Charge 5 as a replacement and what a fantastic speaker it is. (especially at $139.00)..Blows the flip 5 out of the water. No comparison. Louder, with more clarity and the bass is really good when comparing it to other speakers in this price range. Now I want another charge 5 for stereo.
(Anyone heard 2 charge 5s vs 1 extreme 3??) Well the 2 charge 5s made the extreme 3 sound like a garbage, 30 dollar speaker.
The more clarity on the Charge 5 is due to it having a dedicated tweeter :)
bro same happened with me i used flip5 for 3 years recently my friend lost it.
going for charge5, hope it will be as good as fli5 was.
@@abhineetpriyam2868it's waaaaay better charge 5 is impressive
I have both and the biggest difference between the 2 is the bass, I am so happy with my Charge 5.
I actually got my Charge 5 yesterday for 580 PLN, while the Flip 6 was priced at 650 PLN so the decision between those 2 was an easy pick. Anyways, thanks for the one of the most solid YT speaker reviews, as I also watched your reviews and comparisons of JBL Flip 5 and some Sony and Marshal portable speakers as well. Just to add my own experience - the Charge 5 is by all means a better speaker than the Flip 6, just look at the tech specs, but the Flip is also great for some people because of its small size and portability and will do the job just fine.
gdzie kupiłeś tego Charge'a?
So in your opinion which one do you think is good the flip 6 or char5 ?
I have the Charge 5 along with two Clip 4s amazing sound and I like to pair them with my Bluetooth to get amazing stereo sound.
Does stereo really work or is it mono with speakers that are not the same model?
With a oudeo splitter it wil work
How you can pair the charge 5 with the clip 4 ? The Clip 4 dosent have party mod
@@zerocool2727ou can actually have it paired on Bluetooth but not in party boost
I luv both!
I'd get the Charge 5 but the flip is good too
Firstly I got the go2 idk around 4 years ago?
Then gota great deal for the flip 6, im enjoying it very much and the size is great for just tossing in a bag and carrying it around, but when the charge 6 comes out im probably gonna upgrade because sometimes outdoors the flip6 doesnt sound that great
Got charge 5 and enjoying it. Let may check how long would it be useful since I use it everyday.
How's it holding up?
These were my first choices before but I tested them at the shop and they sound meeeh without the app. So, I went for thuderbox plus for my motorcycle and stormbox blast at home. Both sound awesome outside the box without the app. Clarity over bass, too.
Did you actually cut your hair during the making of this video or am I insane? LOL
great vid!
Only his pubic hair
Thank you so much
So charge 5 buying today 😂
I have a Flip 6 and I love it. It has great sound for my needs, but in the working environment I have where there is some loud noises, the Flip 6 has to be turned up to 70% or higher for me to enjoy it. I'm going to get a Charge 5 for the added boost in sound. I had considered a JBL Extreme, but that one might be too much to carry. I have a JBL Pulse 4 also, and I find that there is not much difference in sound between it and the Flip 6, so I always end up carrying my Flip 6. Hopefully the Charge 5 will be the right one for me.
now that I got how loud and how big they are I will be getting the charge 5 only if they don’t come out with the charge 6 to fast.
I still have jbl charge 4 and it’s time for upgrade but I can’t decide which one I want
For me volume is the thing that matters
So is there a lot of difference between flip 4,flip 6 and the charge 5
The flip 6 fits nicely into a bicycle bottle cage.
Charge 5 all the way I virtually never go past half way. Good bass, clear sound, and can connect multiple devices together. Overall I give this speaker (Charge 5) 9/10 and (flip 6) don't get loud as the Charge but still a good speaker. And I give the flip 6 8/10 it purely comes down to the bass and loudness
Yes i agree because i have one charge 5
@@mylive9460 How do you compare it Soundcore Motion plus, I have been using the Soundcore for a year and the outdoor sound is amazing, now I wanna buy another speaker, should I go for the Charge 5? Is it louder and basier than the Soundcore?
I can not buy these speakers but still watching
Charge 5 of your going to the beach.
Flip 6 if you’re going to the mountains.
I think it boils down to use case ...if u need a on the go to everywhere speaker ...flip 6 is undoubtedly the choice for u...if the speaker will mostly be at home at corner or on a desk ...then charge 5 is ur guy
Will the Charge 5 fit in a bike water bottle cage?
How long does the charge five last without dying at full volume
i’ve had my charge 5 for a few months now and i’ve always had the eq adjustment pad thing on the app all you have to do is update it which it requires you to upgrade it anyway when you download the app
Which app??
Do they have 5mm Jacks?
Is it good for movie experience?
I got charge 5 for £129 in UK from homeavdirect
Charge 5 by a long shot! Seriously, you would have to be deaf, not to notice the difference 😂 thanks for the time you take.
Got the Flip 6 and go 3 now I want the charge 5... so I can link them both together
Are these speakers better than the ultimate ears boom 3 as I got the ue boom 4 but thinking if changing
Obviously, JBL and Sony are always better than the UE speakers in terms of sound quality, UE though has great durability
I like the little haircut you got in the middle, sneaky.
👀
Flip 6 the best kinda cinematic sound which is amazing and alive.
I feel like the base gets lost on my charge 5 at a higher volume... Does it have a way to improve the base at higher volume???
Its to not break speaker
Just got my Charge 5 for a sweet $99 deal today.
I bought the Charge 5. It is bigger, heavyer and I prefer the tubular shape, but the sound from 30 to 70% volume is perfect, and I prefer quality over other aspects. In the hand, it doesn't feel as big or heavy and overall the portability is OK, and the extra volume can come in handy in some situations.
Also, there was only a 10€ difference between both models. 120€ for the Flip 6 and 130€ for the Charge 5 so there was not too much to think of.
heavier not heavyer. Peace ✌️

Does water and dust not damage or clog up the C charging port as it is not sealed up like the usb port?
*اطمئن ،، فقط عليك غسل المنفذ بالماء عند وجود أتربه وطين ..*
In my opinion, gong off the sound test of this video, the Charge 5 sounds more fuller if that makes sense. Especially at the same volume.
Why would would put it on different surfaces? Possibly in another room? If you put a F6 on the floor it just sounds better than a C5 would elevated in any room.
Where can i buy flip 6?
what is the app you guys use on the charge 5
Jbl portable
Will they be a update EQ on the boombox2. Please let me know.
Just got the update for my Charge 5 in Friday 1/7/32.
Got a 3 band EQ now.
Android phone has a 9 band eq built in , works great
Charge 5 is good for metal music?
I bought two charge 5s and I think it can be better than 1 Xtreme 3
I did have a charge 3 I didn't like so I'm upgrading to charge 5
JBL makes some of the best weatherproof Bluetooth speakers on the market. Sound quality rivaling Sonos or Bose at a fraction of the cost.
Which is louder
I bought flip 6 it's cool ❤❤
Sir, can I carry JBL charge 5 on an airplane?
I don’t know what speaker to buy I bought the flip 6 and I’m not to impressed with the volume in the loud room I bought it to play it in so I was thinking of returning to get the charge 5 but have seen some reviews about the battery life not being good….
ahhhh forget abt it!...im buying BOTH!!!!!
I have a flip 6 for my bicycle but I do want a charge for my room.
Just got the charger 5
Charge 5 has eq now from the app
honestly the flip 6 shouldnt have a tweeter, just 2 stereo speakers, its already too bright, people just want bigger deeper more evened out bass response and smoother mids, more compact of a package, its disapointing, i would love a simple flip 6 with 2 stereo speakers aas a pc monitor
Charge 5 now has an EQ on the app and it is almost the same price as flip 6 when on sale.
