As advertised, as expected, love it!
Since I have a curved metal backing on my desk at work, it makes a natural speaker cabinet all by itself. Put a well designed speaker in its bowls and I have music that can be enjoyed in a warehouse environment. Heck, I've been asked to turn it down. The bass is incredible under my desk but the speaker itself has limits. I mean, it rocks out pop music and rock n' roll like nobody's business but as soon as you start pumping some hip hop or dubstep into it, you get your peaking and crackling. Don't push it.With appropriate music, the girl in the center of the warehouse that owns one of these pretty much controls the tunes in the entire warehouse. She forgot her speaker one day and I just happened to have my JBL Charge 3 under my desk, though I almost never bring it to work, so I lent her mine but warned her that it is a 3 and not a 5; please don't blow it out. Lo and behold, she immediately attempted to go to the volume she is accustomed to. It sounded like crap. That was my first indication that I needed to upgrade to a JBL Charge 5.If you've been looking at this thing and wondering, "Can it really be that much better than my current, perfectly fine, bluetooth speaker?" Yes, it quite possibly can be. I was lucky, I got a first hand experience to show me the difference in person. I love JBL so it was a nice test, the 3 against the 5. I got a great deal on Black Friday or Cyber Monday but I now realize that it's totally worth the original $179.95.Totally.

5.0 out of 5 stars Supercharged Sound!
Reviewed in the United States on November 21, 2023
For so long, I convinced myself I didn’t need it, and yet when there was a discount on it, I concluded with one thing.

I needed it.

So of course I had to buy it and boy oh boy, is this such a great speaker. Speaking on size, this speaker was a lot bigger than I imagined. It’s a lot bigger than the Charge 3, which was pretty big in my eyes, but this feels a lot bigger. I wouldn’t say it’s the most portable speaker, unless you have a very large bag or are comfortable carrying it around. This thing will definitely be staying at home with me 80% of the time. As you can see, this thing is a lot bigger than the Flip 6 while being a lot smaller than the Xtreme 2. Speaking on the quality, this thing looks absolutely amazing. I simply love the aesthetic look and the green just looks amazing alongside the Flip 6. It feels incredibly sturdy to hold and it feels lightweight! And from my experience, the battery life is pretty fantastic, but I don’t believe it is the full 20 hours like advertised. And charging does take a bit, but the speaker being USB-C is a major convenience.

Finally, let’s talk about the sound. When I compared it to the Flip 6, I was quite impressed.
For the size difference, the Charge 5 comes across as much louder and retains much of its bass as you put the volume up, and against the Xtreme 2, I’m surprised at how well it held off on it’s own. I definitely prefer the Charge 5’s sound signature over the Xtreme’s. The Charge 5 is a bass monster and you can really feel it during a lot of songs. With the adjustable EQ within the JBL app, I was able to tune the speaker to how I’d like, which is always a helpful feature.

Overall, the JBL Charge 5 is a loud, powerful, but also attractive and trendy looking speaker. In terms of whether you should buy this over the Flip 6, it’s really up to what you need. If you a small speaker you can easily carry around, get the Flip 6. If you want a souped up, larger, but also more powerful speaker that is a little more difficult to take on the go with you, but that’s not an issue with you. Get a Charge 5, but also wait for a discount.

Es una bocina en su segmento comparado con otras de calidad premium en materiales de fabricación y desde la caja está muy bien empacada y excelente diseño y en cuanto a sonido no tiene mucha fidelidad pero compite fácilmente contra Bose y Sony realmente tiene un sonido aceptable y muy potente en exteriores te gustará su definición y lo bien que se escucha es una buena opción y el precio es accesible la recomiendo ampliamente.
