I brought it a few weeks ago. I understand it's refurbished, but without the charger plugged in, it only lasts about 45 mins before dying.

For such a small speaker, it has great volume and clarity. I am using it in an aircraft hangar, and it fills the entire space and more. Linking my phone via Bluetooth for Pandora works great. Very happy with it.

Sounds terrific - - long battery life and the process of customizing the colors and patterns was so fun. The final product looked exactly like my design. Way to go, JBL!

Love the sound quality and look but the Bluetooth kept cutting out - I tried troubleshooting from both phone and speaker & it continued, so it's unusable for me and I am sending it back

Amazing! We bought two speakers to pair them and see how they worked. They worked great!!! Great sound and no lagging between the speakers!

I purchased a second custom Charge 5 for myself and 2 for gifts...I LUV EM and the one gift I have delivered was met with equal elation. JBL always provides quality (I've owned a trailerload of JBL Pro gear and dozens of consumer level pieces and they have ALL been worthy of the endless recommendations I've made regarding JBL gear.

I'm pretty upset that it doesn't connect with the new JBL connect 6 that I literally bought a few days after I bought the Charge 5.

I tried several other Bluetooth speakers in the price range of this JBL unit and was not satisfied with the quality of the sound and volume. Very happy with the JBL Charge 5. Was able to get it on sale as well.

The JBL charge five speaker sounds great since it was on sale. It was a good deal. I'm very happy with it. I use it out in the yard and the sound is very good

Ordered a customized Charge 5. Received a plain black Charge 5. Nothing is being done to correct this.

I love the box, just wish it was a little louder. Love the fact that you guys used the small white JBL emblem instead of the big black & read one.

I'm a little disappointed in the max volume and bass response. I expected more from both

This is perfect size speaker with a good sound. I did a lot of research before buying and checked out different speakers at friends places. JBL charge 5 outsands other. It's the best value for money.

I bought this JBL Charge 5 to use in an audio setup, but was very disappointed to realize that it has no 1/8" audio jack, and that this seems to have changed from the JBL Charge 4 and all the previous models, which did have one. I brought this without checking first, since my friend's older JBL Charge had an audio jack. This meant I could not use it for my project at all. I don't know why they removed the audio jack - it's not like they are short on space. It's a portable speaker. I should be able to plug my audio into it. Disappointed.

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!!

I love this speaker.. the battery life seems to last forever and the sound is extremely powerful and loud for its size!

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.

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.

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.
