Waterproof & Dustproof Design: The JBL Charge 5 Bluetooth speaker features a rugged rubberized housing and a durable fabric material grille which will hold up indoors and outdoors. The Charge 5 is IP67 waterproof & dustproof rated which means you can take it almost anywhere; you can even submerge the Charge 5 in water up to 1 meter (3') for up to 30 minutes. Its compact design fits easily into a backpack so you can take it anywhere with you.

• The Charge 5 can only be submerged in water for a short period of time. If the speaker is playing and then submerged in water, it will sound muffled, as anything submerged in water would sound like. Submerging the speaker more than 1 meter and for more than 30 minutes will damage the speaker as the water will penetrate through the waterproof barriers due to pressure.
• To ensure that the JBL Charge 5 is waterproof, please remove all cable connections and tightly close the cap; exposing the Charge 5 to liquids without doing so may result in permanent damage to the speaker. Do not expose the Charge 5 to water while charging, as doing so may result in permanent damage to the speaker or power source.

Full-Range JBL Sound: The JBL Charge 5 employs digital signal processing to generate room-filling audio from a compact speaker. Using a 2-way driver design with a 0.75" dome tweeter and optimized 2" x 3.5" long-excursion woofer, a 30-watt amplifier, and dual 2.25" passive radiators, the JBL Charge 5 delivers full-range JBL sound with punchy bass. The JBL Charge 5 stereo speaker can play from either a vertical or horizontal position, so you can place it in a variety of locations for great sound.

Bluetooth 5.1: The JBL Charge 5 is equipped with built-in Bluetooth 5.1 with support for wireless audio (A2DP 1.3) and control (AVRCP 1.6). You'll be able to stream stored music, music apps, and other audio content from your Bluetooth-enabled source device (such as your smartphone, tablet, laptop, or computer) to the Charge 5. You can control Play, Pause, & Skip functions from the speaker. However, you will still continue to use your Bluetooth-enabled device for advanced music navigation and to view song/artist information. The Charge 5 can pair with multiple devices and allow two devices to be connected at the same time so you can switch back and forth quickly between source devices. Once paired, the Charge 5 will automatically re-connect with the last paired device when in wireless range (up to 33').

JBL Portable App: Use the JBL Portable App (for Apple iOS 11.0+ or Android OS 7.0+) to wirelessly pair two JBL Portable compatible speakers together for stereo sound or link multiple JBL Portable compatible speakers to create a bigger party (same audio source is played back through all JBL Portable speakers). Software updates for the speaker can also be done using the JBL Portable app.

USB Charging (5V/2A): The JBL Charge 5 is capable of recharging the battery of your Bluetooth-enabled device from the speaker's built-in USB-A port (5V/2A). Now you don't need to carry an extra charger to keep your devices powered up. This USB port does not support audio playback.

Rechargeable Battery: The JBL Charge 5 stereo speaker has a built-in Lithium-ion polymer rechargeable battery (3.6V/7500mAH) that provides up to 20 hours of playback time. The Charge 5 speaker includes a USB-C port and a 4' USB-C to USB-A cable to aid in charging the built-in battery. The battery can be recharged from a 3rd party USB/AC power adapter (sold separately) or a free USB port on your computer. A full battery charge takes approximately 4 hours.
