Where its predecessor Charge 4 came in twelve colors (including camouflage design), the Charge 5 comes in nine colors (including camouflage options). The new speaker is available in many colors in terms of appearance. ![]() In that respect, for example, the JBL Pulse 4 is a better pacemaker, although in terms of volume and sound quality it beats the JBL Charge 5. Moreover, it is not equipped with, for example, LED to really throw a party. On the other hand, it is also a plus that it does not work very differently than usual, the JBL experience with Charge 5 is exactly the same as other JBL products, so connecting and Partyboost work like a train.īut, if you want to throw a party, then this is not a speaker that will loosen up the tongues. It is a nice speaker that you can easily put somewhere and that is also not too heavy for your bag, but especially considering the other products from JBL, it does not do it very differently in terms of design. It is a pity that the speaker is not very exciting in terms of design. If the neighborhood allows it, of course, but the speaker can easily manage a dinner party that got out of hand in terms of battery life. The sound (with a frequency range of 65 Hz to 20k Hz) is well distributed and you can use the speaker well into the early hours at a fairly high volume. The driver, tweeter and bass radiators (the ones with the exclamation marks on them) do their best to produce big sound and that works well. You do not have to turn on the bass in the sound settings of your smartphone to get a good bass. The sound that comes from this fairly modest speaker is not exactly modest.

The IP rating is IP67, so it is not recommended to actually run through a sandstorm or dive into the pool with it. Fortunately, according to the tests, they do not end up in the speaker, so you can actually move it a lot and take it with you to a crumbly picnic table, the beach or next to the pool, for example. The JBL Charge 5 is in principle waterproof and dustproof, although it does attract a lot of dust with its textile design. They are in motion when you play sound (and especially noticeable with the bass). If that is not clear by the rubbers at the bottom, or by the large exclamation marks on both sides. This immediately indicates that this speaker really needs to be placed in one particular way. Furthermore, the speaker contains silicone elements, a large JBL logo in the middle and extra rubbers on which it can rest. The speaker consists almost entirely of fabric that is interwoven in such a way that it looks and feels very robust. The Charge is large, robust and therefore brings a lot of volume. Both are a bit more cylindrical, with Flip being a bit smaller and simpler. The Charge and Flip line are most similar in design. However, the most famous lines of portable speakers from JBL are the Charge line, Flip line, Go line and Clip line. Many have also been discussed here on FWD: for example, the JBL Xtreme 3, the JBL Link Portable and more.
