I've had several different sized JBL bluetooth speaker and this one has great sound for the size and price. I have it strapped to the handlebars on a motorcycle and it's loud enough to hear it in spite of the wind and my helmet. On the highway I turn it off. I have a clip3 I use in my work truck and that's good too.

Big sound in a small container
Crutchfield customer from Suffern, NY on 1/1/2022
The JBL Charge 5 packs a surprisingly big, full sound in a relatively small size. I still have an older JBL Charge model that I use but it has nowhere near the bass range of the Charge 5. Highly recommended.
Pros: Compact, big sound, long battery life, bluetooth pairs quickly
Cons: None

Party Boost mono vs stereo mode
Crutchfield customer from Newark, DE on 12/27/2021
Solid musical performance especially in stereo mode with two of these. Be advised that you must have two of the same model to initiate stereo mode. Example, two charge fives allows the stereo option but adding an additional flip 5 to one charge five in party boost gives you mono sound only. Same rule applies to new flip 6 that will need another flip 6 to initiate stereo. Connecting flip 5 with flip 6 is mono only. I wish that I was aware of this before buying one charge 5, thinking I could link up to my flip5 in stereo. Ended up buying additional charge 5 for stereo option. Hope this info helps others with the JBL eco system.

Crutchfield customer from Tallahassee , FL on 12/22/2021
We have been using this for a couple of weeks and have enjoyed it so far. It gets five stars for the sound quality which is a big improvement from our old EU Boom. Good bass and clear mids and highs. Various instruments are clearly articulated in the sound field (mostly rock and americana listening). If you don't need smart features and are just interested in great sound, this is your device. The battery life has been good, using it on consecutive weekend nights without recharging (about 15 hours total). Will see how long the battery is capable of going when camping weather returns.
Pros: Sound Quality
Cons: None for us so far.

A great product!
Crutchfield customer from Kingman, AZ on 10/30/2021
A great speaker for using in a semi truck! Our company chooses not to have stereos in their trucks. Streaming music is all you have. This speaker drowns out engine noise and really has a great sound! The charging period is pretty long too. Great product so far.
Pros: Versatile in using anywhere you need sound.
Cons: Didn't come with a case. Another retailer did offer the speaker for $10.00 more than Crutchfield with a case. The case separately was $14.00. So you lose about $4.00 with the savings from Crutchfield. I'm okay with my purchase regardless of that.

Great value
OCEAN from RIO GRANDE, PR on 9/29/2021
I can't rave enough about this product and Crutchfield. The JBL Charge 5 definitely came on top when I compared it to the Bose mini and the Sonos Ram both which were offered by Costco. And to my surprise, the Sonos Ram which is also offered by Crutchfield, was actually cheaper than Costco ($20 less). Having said all this, I continued my research thru Crutchfield which is how I learned out about the JBL Charge 5. Then of course, went onto the reviews which were pretty good and the doubts I had, the person in sales was very helpful when I told him about my needs. At the end, I opted for the JBL Charge 5 and so happy I did. It delivers everything it says starting with fantastic sound plus all the extras you don't even count on. It is weather and dustproof, super fast charge providing for almost a day without having to recharge. I was also very surprised that living overseas, I received the product in just 4 days . Price value this purchase was a big WIN!!!

Just ok jury still out
Crutchfield customer from Alpharetta, GA on 8/30/2021
Truthfully I was expecting better. Since this speaker is bigger than my last one and more expensive I was expecting much better sound. The bass is Ok but I hear a lot of background noise on the treble side. I read a ton of reviews before deciding on this speaker and most were very positive. Going to keep it and see if my thoughts change over time as I've only used it indoors.
Pros:
Cons: Sound is just ok.

This is a great 'little' bluetooth speaker. I had a Flip 2 for last six years and loved. The Charge 5 is even better. The highs are sweet and the bass will vibrate you out of your chair. Incredible battery life. I love that JBL '70's sound. Great service and shipping from Crutchfield as always.

JBL Charge 5
Crutchfield customer from Baltimore, MD on 7/18/2021
At first, I was put-off by this product. When played at a very high volume, the highs seem kind of brittle. But at a more normal volume, or even at a slightly high level, it sounds fine - excellent, in fact. And I seldom, if ever, listen at a very high volume. Maybe its just me. Perhaps my expectations were too high. But ultimately, after listening with it for a week or two, I am very satisfied with the product.
