Party mode unreliable!!

I have owned several JBL, Harmon-Kardon products in the past. Purchased 2 Charge speakers excited to pair them together Party mode. Works 1 out of 15 times, super annoying as I am trying to run a Cardio class. Sought help from JBL and many YouTube vids. Very disappointed!!

Greatest bluetooth speaker

Had this one for over 5 years that I won at an arcade. Only recently has it had issues, and it's just that it can no longer keep a worthy charge time. The absolute greatest bluetooth speaker I ever had. Been through water and mud, thrown and beaten around? still sounds perfect clarity and bass wise.

Easy and Free to Personalize!

It was super easy (and free!) to personalize a speaker. I'm surprising my daughter with it for her birthday. She knows she's getting a JBL but has no idea how cool it's going to be! Shipping was fast too.

Perfect for its price!

I love this speaker! It is waterproof and floats in the water and the sound quality is amazing and the price is perfect for a product that provides so much. It is so versatile and is a high quality product that I highly recommend.

When I link the new charge 5's one will cut out for a few seconds. Also when you separate them about 20 feet the connection goes in and out.

White patches

I bought this speaker a few weeks ago, its great audio preformance. But my one issue is the graphics are already coming off. Theres random white markings appearing on the designs. I havent been moving the speaker much as its been sitting on a shelf. But the white marks are bleeding through.

Grabbed another one before they discontinued

Bought another one of these before they discontinued them. I also have a Flip 6 but the Charge 5 is way better. I like being able to stream to multiple speakers. The only complaint I have is the play button on my older one has fallen off. Other than that these are very good sounding and durable for outside use. I'd love to have one of the bigger JBL bluetooth speakers, but they are out of my budget. This offers the best bang for your buck, especially now with the sale price.

Need to used equalizer app for best results

Bought this to replace my $25 anker speaker. I wanted something overall better with good bass. First time using it, without having the equalizer app, I was pretty unimpressed - it sounded clear but hollow. Then I used the app, customized the equalization to my preference, and it was a brand new experience. Highly recommend on sound quality alone.

Shout charge 5

Bass cut very obviously when push hard outdoor, leave treble and midrange play loudly such as shouting child singing. I used to own charge 3 which sound more punch and neutral beeter than charge 5 outdoor

Battery doesn't last

The speaker doesn't hold the charge. After 3 hours of playing it is completely dead. I've charged it all the way up with medium or lower sound level and same thing.

Excellent sound

I've been using the Charge 5 for over a month now and absolutely love it!!! It has a very clear and crisp sound. It has cut out a couple times due to Bluetooth I guess but not enough to be a bother.. Would definitely recommend this speaker and would buy it again.

JBL speakers are already at the top when it comes to sound! But being able to laminate a picture of loved ones on it makes it even better for a gift! Thanks jbl.

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."
