I bought my daughter the speaker for her birthday but when I received it I wasn’t happy at all it was customized and the color was rubbing off! I don’t think I’ll be placing any more items from your company!

Love the way this speaker sounds! Bought it for my classroom and it was a great choice. I couldn't figure out why it was turning off frequently, so apparently I missed the part where it has an automatic shut off if not plugged in.
love it

Love the sound. Bought it to replace my old Flip 5 which after 4-5 years died -- would no longer take a charge. The Charge 5 is much better sounding. Has upgraded bluetooth, more power and a tweeter. My only complaint and reason for 4 stars is the charging wire. I had to use an adapter to connect it to my MacBook Pro which has USB-3 ports.
Love it , sound quality amazing

The image is good. But I’ll clear coat it to protect the image. As I heard it comes off pretty easy. I wasn’t to fond of the loudness. I feel that my flip 3 is louder and better sounding.
Not good

Thanks for your feedback. We're here to help with your JBL Charge 5. Sometimes a Bluetooth connection can become corrupt. Please try to forget/unpair your speaker from your source device and do a manual pairing by pressing the Bluetooth button on your JBL Charge 5. On your source device's Bluetooth settings, tap on "JBL Charge 5" to connect. If this doesn’t solve the issue, we need to determine if the problem is in the device or the speaker. Try to connect the speaker to a different device (phone/tablet/music player, etc.) to see if it fixes the problem. If you need more help, please contact our customer support.
Love it

I love this speaker!! Did a lot of looking and I feel this is the best bang for your $! Great sound, looks great and love how it can go anywhere to bring the jam with you! I can’t really speak to how long the battery’s would run for but I haven’t ever run out of tunes while using so think it’s a good long time.
Sounds good when it’s on!

Bought 2 of these for Christmas, one for me and my dad. I actually took time to research this size speaker and this jbl sounded great for the price comparison to others and the name says it all “ Charge”!! 5! They market this product proclaiming that it will last 20 hours at 50% volume and you can connect your phone as well to have it charged if need be. Hence the name… (Charge 5). Well………. sorry folks! At 100% this speaker lasts 2-3 hours tops , I lowered the volume a bit to about 80% and same thing, it didn’t matter 100% or 80%. Not sure when your suppose to connect your phone to charge bit I’d make sure the speaker was plugged in. So what’s the point when you obviously plug your phone into the socket right next to the JBL 20hr speaker /charger. Does it sound good? Yes! Does it hold the charge they proclaim? No! Is it a great compact speaker with great looks? Yes! Should you just keep it plugged into AC when using it? YES But that’s not the point of a portable speaker right? I gave a 3 because of al the pro’s I mentioned and it sounds great. Does it hold a cbarge for 4-5 hours or 20 hrs. ? No!

Thanks for your feedback. It is possible that the battery of your JBL Charge 5 is losing its capacity. However, it is also possible that the battery is working correctly but depletes more quickly when the volume is very loud and/or the bass has been boosted. Try to charge the battery to 100% and then listen to music without any bass boosted, and at a very low volume. If the battery lasts close to the published up-to-playtime, the battery is working fine. However, if you get less than 90% of the published spec, this likely means that the battery is losing its capacity. For further assistance, please contact us.
Just not for me.

Ok I have to say that I ended up returning it. It just wasn’t loud enough for me. I had a Sony speaker I was replacing because it sounded low and the battery no longer had the same charge as before. The JBL was barely louder than my old Sony. In returned it for a Sony speaker that was on sale for $150 vs $350.
terrible speaker

Thank you for your feedback. Our JBL Charge 5 is designed to be waterproof (IP67 rated), meaning it can withstand immersion in water up to 1 meter for 30 minutes. However, while it can handle splashes and brief exposure to water, prolonged exposure to steam and high humidity might have some potential long-term effects. It's always best to minimize exposure to harsh environments to ensure its longevity. Also, 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. We recommend contacting our customer support.
