![]() You’re getting the standard Bluetooth connectivity here (no Wi-Fi, etc.) as well as JBL’s “PartyBoost” feature, which allows you to chain connections to other JBL PartyBoost-equipped speakers, creating a multi-speaker setup. ![]() Just like the Charge 4 and Flip 5, the Charge 5 doesn’t overcomplicate things-it’s fairly frills-free as features go. Special features: PartyBoost, built-in powerbank.Speakers/drivers: 52x90mm woofer 20mm tweeter.Battery life: Up to 20 hours per charge.Colors: Black, Blue, Grey, Red, Teal, and Squad (Camo).Width x Height x Depth: 8.7 x 3.76 x 3.67 inches.JBL's Charge 5 gets its name from its ability to charge USB-based devices like a smartphone while it plays music. Regardless, the Charge 5 is an excellent Bluetooth speaker in every respect, and the latest version's new dust-proof design should make it the most rugged in the lineup to date. In addition, it only makes minimal improvements over the more affordable Charge 4, so if you want this functionality at a bit of a discount, that's worthy of consideration. If you really don’t think you need the charging ability, you could save some money and get the Flip instead. The Flip 5 is nearly the same product, minus the pass-thru charging and boosted battery life, and you’re paying a not-inconsiderable surcharge for those features. ![]() That doesn’t mean the Charge 5 is perfect for everyone, of course. A rugged, waterproof option that delivers a robust, bass-forward take on music and has enough battery life to last for extra-long outings and charge the device you’re playing music from, keeping the jams jamming to the jamth degree. The latest in the Charge lineup offers great sound and battery-life, with added durability to boot.Īs you may have guessed, the Charge 5 marks JBL’s fifth iteration in the Charge line of portable Bluetooth speakers, and this is the best version yet.
