[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great Portable Speaker! For a small speaker, this JBL really does a great job. It's bass is stronger than I would have expected. It also has good volume for the footprint. It was very easy to connect to my phone via Bluetooth.

Great speaker purchase for us. We love our JBL CHARGE 5.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Boombox 3 is really amazing ! First it truly has that full bodied sound that a really much larger speaker has. Second I used the JBL portable app and customized the sound through equalization and it sounds incredible, the app is a very good tool to use with this speaker. Thirdly this speaker although heavy is easy to carry around with the sturdy handle provided. We used it at the pool instead of turning on our main pool bar speaker system which is JBL also. It is very portable and very loud if you turn it up but it still sounds awesome at lower volumes and provides that full punchy sound. It is waterproof and that means were taking it to the beach baby! By far this is my new best bluetooth speaker that I will use and enjoy for a very long time. The battery is strong and has held a charge for I know at least 6 hours of play. JBL did it again and hit this one out of the park excellent quality bluetooth speaker that I highly recommend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] In a world where things are getting smaller, like your phones, the money in your wallet, and your burger, JBL introduces a big portable speaker with an even bigger sound. Here is what I love about this speaker. The packaging on this product is second to none. It is enclosed in a soft like bag and surrounded by the most durable egg carton cardboard I have ever seen. I wouldn't worry about this item ever being damaged in shipping. Straight out of the box, I loved the unique throwback design. An overall black design, trimmed in antique gold, will match any area in your home. And when you go portable, people will wonder where you got this retro looking item. I immediately downloaded the JBL One app to my phone, and had no problem connecting it to the Bluetooth on my phone, or even to the Wifi in my home. And within minutes, I was using the speaker in place of my Amazon Alexa. I cranked it up so loud, my wife complained, but she was surprised by the sound from 3 rooms away. And the app, lets me dial in the song and sound I like. From country to pop and classical to jazz, every note is clear and the bass is thumping. One drawback is the heft of this item. It is a beast, and toting it for a long periods of time will wear you out. Also, the handle is not that comfortable. It is squared off and not very well padded. Regardless of just those two drawbacks, this speaker is built like an American made car from the 1950s, made to last and to be treasured for years to come. Ideally, I think this speaker is meant for home use. It's gonna replace any other portable wireless speaker you own. Mine is set in the bedroom, plugged in, and always on.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This speaker blows me away, the sound is so full and rich with detail. Even though it is small in size and portable, it will fill your space with sound. The retro styling takes me back to the JBLs I had in high school. It was pretty easy to set up with the JBL One app, I did have to try several times to set up my Alexa account, but the Google Assistant went through on first try. Absolutely love the portable nature and long life battery. We take it out to the back yard for a fall-time fire or in the kitchen, matches our backsplash perfectly. The materials JBL used for construction feel and have the look of high quality. This is becoming my favorite speaker in the house.

I have never written a review for anything before, but I’ve always said I would for this speaker so I’m finally getting around to it. I bought the JBL Charge 3 a long time ago when it first came out. I didn’t know what to expect, but I have been absolutely blown away. I love this speaker and I bring it to nearly everything I do. It’s been at the pool, on the beach, on a kayak, and so much more. The sound is incredible, and it blows my mind how long the battery lasts. My friends and family have gotten on board and gotten themselves one too. If this Charge 5 is anything like my Charge 3, I will no doubt be getting one if my 3 ever goes out on me.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] DESIGN: This is a superior design compared to the previous models of the Charge series. It's shaped perfectly so that the sound disperses favorably regardless of positioning (vertical/horizontal). This is also simply a more aesthetically pleasing design with the subtle orange on black. SOUND: Just when you think that JBL can't possibly improve sound quality in such a limited amount of space, they go ahead and blow your mind. This speaker just flat-out sounds outstanding. The balance between the lows, mids, and highs is perfect. It doesn't distort at high volume, and it gets plenty loud. The bass is satisfactorily thumpy and you can hear lyrics and instruments crystal clear. NEGATIVES: I can only think of two. Firstly, I'd like to see future renditions have WiFi capabilities. Secondly, it's a bit annoying that newer models cannot wirelessly pair with older models. Overall, this is an ideal portable Bluetooth speaker with excellent battery life and fantastic sound. It's small enough to stick in a backpack and loud enough to fill a big room with immersive music. The JBL Charge 5 is a homerun.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received the JBL Charge 5 recently and decided to put it through a rigorous testing for various locations inside and out. This speaker did not disappoint! I own two JBL Charge 2 models that we use outdoors in the summer by the pool that have worked very well. Charge 5 Speaker is waterproof so we don’t have to worry about splashing or dropping it in the water. The new speaker’s sound blows them away. This model is slightly bigger and heavier, but that’s due to the new speakers. The sound is incredible! From listening to rock, pop, country, etc. to the vocals that are crisp and clear. Bass comes through loud with the volume cranked up! This speaker works just as well outdoors as well as indoors. Price is affordable and about what you would expect to own a quality versatile speaker. Comes with a USB charging cord for easy re-charging, you can expect 15-20 hours use before needing a recharge.
