Charge 5 (Black) + Bundle with divvi! Protective Hardshell Case (Black)

The best bang for your buck Bluetooth speaker period. Sound quality is great, bass is good, and it’s super rugged and can hold up to drops, dropping in water or splashing, and even dirt and sand! The battery also lasts a long time and the speaker gets super loud, like this thing sounds better than my tvs built in speakers. My only complaints are that the eq isn’t super adjustable with only 3 levels for bass mids and treble. I wish there was at least a little loop or something built in to carry it too, and I wish the usb a port in the back was usb c. I also wish the usb c port was recessed with the other usb port and covered by the rubber flap so that sand or dirt wouldn’t get in it. Other than that, there’s really nothing else I could ask for in a speaker. If you’re looking for a Bluetooth speaker that’s super loud and high quality but still portable and pretty light I would definitely get the charge 5.

Best sound quality you can get

Fits in case snugly. Has perfect amount of bass For in my garage while working on cars. You can also down load an app to make this thing even more custom. Battery life is great as well.

i wasn't sure how this would sound on my patio. it sounds great. glad i bought it. no regrets here. easy to connect with. very good quality and sound seems quite durable. i use this almost daily. highly recommended for the price.

Very nice speaker you can hear the music very clear and he loves the bass. This was a gift for my grandson. I do recommend

I love JBL as a brand. The quality of the sound is AMAZING - being a music head. Bought this JBL CHARGE 5 for Bluetooth capabilities with my Google TV. Makes My Google TV sound like a video production monitor with great sound...... Love it. AND It will be used for spring & summer outings with my family 👍👌

The JBL Charge 5 is one of those "what you see is what you get" types of things. This is a speaker you might choose to use at home but it's "purpose" is to bring to an event where people want to make some noise and no "noise making" appliances are present. It allows everyone with a smart phone to play their favorite artist or mix and is loud enough to fill a room. Neither the dynamic range (noticable roll off on the deep bass end and a tweeter that is harsh until it breaks in and still sounds better from a distance) nor the accuracy are anything to write home about but that's really not the point. The point is to have fun, make noise and enjoy yourself. This speaker gets it done. One note, the Charge 5 is a bit "kidney" shaped vs the Charge 4. The supplied case that you get (for free) fits the Charge 5 much better if you turn it upside down with the "foot" facing up. The case provides a spot for the charging cable and a (user supplied) charging block. The device is already pretty rugged so it doesn't really need additional protection. The handle is handy.

Look I couldn't think of a good title... This little thing is amazing. I have been using Flip 5s for a while. Individually, those are great. But PartyBoost just doesn't work properly. Pops and thuds. Sound dropping completely. I'm no audiophile, and I honestly can't tell all that much of a difference in sound quality between the Charge 5 and the Flip 5, but I can say that I listened to music all day long using the Charge 5 as the base speaker for PartyBoost and had 0 issues with all the headaches that the Flips have been giving me. Basically, if you like the Flip, this has a bigger battery, marginally better sound, better IPX rating, and can be used to charge your phone in an pinch. It also uses Bluetooth 5 instead of the Flip's Bluetooth 4.2, which is probably a good chunk of the reason PartyBoost works better. Still no aux in, which is a mild bummer, but not a deal breaker. (The only thing I 'need' aux in for is currently using my Boombox 2, which conveniently has one!) No voice chat, which is a complete non-issue for me, but seems to be a pain point for a lot of folks. The case is nice, but I don't see myself needing it all that much for travel. I saw multiple people complaining about the speaker not fitting while others had no issue. I am fairly certain it is entirely related to what orientation you put the speaker in the case. Put it in the right way and it zips up no issue! Note: The Charge 5 does NOT come with a wall wart. You still get a USB A to USB C connector to charge it with, but you'll need to use an existing wall wart you already own. (I have seen complaints about this as well. But I have like 7 of them plugged in and another 10 or so sitting around as spares.)
