    It's a nice little speaker but it sure does pack a punch. Good, deep base and a large range of volume. The app also allows a small amount of customization which is nice.

    Battery life is the worst

    I bought this about 2-3 months ago. I use it daily. The sound is great. However the battery life is worse than my charge 4 by a long shot. I’m lucky to get 5-7 hours of ply time from it. Very disappointing.

    Our JBL Charge 5 has up to 20 hours of battery life. This may vary depending on volume and music content. If the speaker doesn't meet the advertised playtime hours even at low to mid-volume levels, there could be a problem with the battery of the unit. Please contact our Customer Support, so we can assist you.

    Inadequate

    2 out of 5 stars
    - 2 months ago
    originally posted on jbl.com
    Bought this to use as a car stereo in my otherwise music-free fleet vehicle at work, as well as for camping. I will say that the sound quality is good. Distortion free, full range from the high notes to the bass. And it can take a beating, as advertised. Didn't get a chance to put the water resistance to the test, but it stood up to a range of high and low temperatures, and heavy winds carrying dust, and even falling off the dashboard a couple times without faltering. However, that's where the legitimacy of its claims end. Even at full volume, I couldn't hear the music if I walked more than 80' from the truck (engine off, no competing noise). Similarly, camping in the middle of nowhere I had it sitting on the hood of my rig and it wasn't loud enough to make out from the perimeters of camp. And the battery life is abysmal. Far from the advertised "up to 20 hrs." I was lucky if I made it through an 8 hour workday before it quit on me. Never tried to charge my phone from it, because it couldn't even hold a charge itself. I should have listened to my coworkers, who said JBL's quality has gone downhill in recent years. Instead I went with the "known" name. Learned my lesson. Will not buy from JBL again.

    We appreciate your feedback. Our JBL Charge 5 battery life may vary depending on volume and music content. If the speaker doesn't meet the advertised playtime hours even at low to mid-volume levels, there could be a problem with the battery of the unit. Also, without walls for sound waves to bounce off, your speakers will lose sound frequencies in an open space. Because you aren't enclosed in a room, audio may sound quiet, washed out, and you may miss some audio details.

    Not worth the price. In a few months even with irregular use age, the sound is distorted and makes music unendurable on this device.

    We appreciate your feedback. We're here to help with your JBL Charge 5. Try resetting your phone's equalizer settings to default. Also, test the speaker with a different device or audio app. For further assistance, please contact us.

    Awesome personalized graphics

    I bought a personalized Charge 5 and am impressed with how it turned out. The graphics are sharp and clear, with no imperfections. It sounds just as good as my other Charge 5 speakers, of which I have three, for a surround sound. Together they sound like a concert, which is an awesome way to hear them. It connects easily to my IPhone and party mode with no issues. The battery lasts for 20 hours and charges in about 4 hours. I am impressed with it and use it about everyday listening to my music mixes. I am truly love the JBL quality and workmanship. I am glad to have purchased this speaker, and hope to get a lot of use out if it.

    Great product. Great battery life. Over all great sound quality and the app that adds 3 band EQ, That’s great too. Party boost is another great feature. Compared to other brand speakers at this price this one is the champ (especially the depth of bass).

    I’ve had my charge 5 for a few years now and still am obsessed with it! The sound quality is fantastic and it pairs with my phone, ipad, and macbook pro seamlessly. Additionally, it survived floating around in flood water for 5 hours when our house flooded during a hurricane. Gave it a rinse when I found it again and it still plays like it just came out of the box! Battery still is going strong and holds the charge well!

    JBL Flip 5 Not compatible to Macbook

    JBL Flip 5 bluetooth pairs to my Macbook Air running Sequoia but there is no sound.
    1 reply from Customer Support team - 3 months ago
    We're here to help with your JBL Flip 5. Please check if the feedback tone is audible when turning the speaker on and off. If the feedback tone is not audible, proceed to performing a factory reset by pressing and holding the volume up (+) and play buttons simultaneously for 3 seconds until the unit turns off. If the feedback tone is audible, please try connecting to a different source to see if it fixes the problem. Sometimes a Bluetooth connection can become corrupt. Please try to forget/unpair the speaker on your device and do a manual pairing by pressing the Bluetooth button on your JBL Flip 5. On your source device, tap on "JBL Flip 5" to connect. If the issue is still not resolved, the last thing to try is a reset. If the issue persists, please contact our customer support.

    My speaker is a custom design and it looks awesome. The design is awesome and looks just like the design I made for it. It isn't too hard to do a design as the web page guides you through the process. The sound is sharp and crisp with booming bass. It works like my other speakers, with no drops in sound quality during playback. This speaker is great for everyday listening or for throwing a party, as it connects to other speakers with party boost for a truly amazing stereo sound. The only con I have found is the status light when the battery is about to die isn't too bright as it is a red colored light to alert you to charge it up. The charging light is blue and can be seen while it's charging. Other than that it is an awesome speaker.
