The ends of the Charge 5’s trademark barrel-like bodywork boast a slightly more robust rubberised reinforcement, while the speaker itself is a whole 1mm taller, 2mm deeper, 3mm wider and 5g heavier than its older brother – although there’s little in that to the naked eye. Under a smaller rubber cap, you still get the useful USB-A port for using the Charge 5 to charge your devices. Gone is the 3.5mm port for wired listening, and the new USB-C charging port is uncovered this time. The rubberised underbody now comprises pleasing diagonal lines for traction when you set it down (as first seen on the Go 3), rather than a block of opaque rubber. The Charge 5 has a larger logo, but it looks classier too, less like a badge with simple metallic accents around the letters rather than a block frame. I am waiting for it.The Charge range is built to handle the great outdoors – as such, sturdy, chunky build quality is very much the order of the day.ĭesign-wise, there's not much to choose between the two. And if not, there may be some clever programmers who can hack the firmware so that the box thinks your PC is a phone, something like that. Perhaps there will be an update from JBL that makes this possible, would be so neat. So for people who only intend to play music from their phone, fine, super fun, party boost works perfectly. Why, JBL? And why is this not described anywhere? This is precisely the reason why I bought a second box. Only when you connect your box to your phone. But how nice if there are several? With the party boost function it is tempting to buy a second box, which I did.īut if you think that the boxes can pair when you want to play music from your laptop, then you are disappointed. I don't have to repeat that, everyone writes about it and it's true. In a previous review I wrote why I was happy with this speaker. I can only connect it to a Charge 5, or other JBL speakers with JBL Party Boost for stereo sound. The only thing I regret is that I don't connect the speaker to the JBL Charge 4. That's why I think it's a little nicer finished. The battery life of 20 hours ensures that I listen to my favorite songs all day long.Ĭompared to its predecessor, this speaker has a more robust appearance. Thanks to the IP67 certification, it will not break through water. I place it in the bathroom, take it to the beach or put it outside in the park during a workout. The speaker is not only ideal for indoors, but also outdoors. This makes the speaker ideal for indoor use. Everyone can hear the music just as well and I don't have to turn up the volume. I sit at the table with friends and the speaker is 4 meters away. When I play music at a normal level, the sound is powerful. The speaker doesn't just convince me at a high volume. Here and there details are lost, but I do not find this disturbing at such a high volume.
I turn the volume up loud and voice still sounds pretty clear. He does this without compromising too much on the sound quality. One of the nicest things about this speaker is that it produces a high volume. I just regret that I can't pair it with a JBL Charge 4. Because of the powerful sound and the water resistance, I think this is the ideal speaker for both indoor and outdoor use. The JBL Charge 5 is the successor of the Charge 4 and the fifth speaker from the Charge series.
