  • Yes, especially if you don't already have a speaker like it. This isn't the kind of product you upgrade on a yearly basis. You get it and hang onto to it for as long as you need. I would think twice before doing so if you already have the Charge 4, where...

  • Poignant and bassy sound for this size of unit,Fully waterproof and dust-sealed,Decent battery life
  • Can't deliver below 65Hz,Design quite boisterous,No 3.5mm input this time,Slow recharging
  • The JBL Charge 5 delivers astounding audio considering its relatively diminutive scale. Our main criticism is its kind-of boisterous looks and the long four-hours recharge time.Otherwise this portable Bluetooth speaker blasts out the bass, delivers a cohe...

  • Clearer and more detailed sound, Wider soundstage, Updated dustproofing,
  • Nothing at this level,
  • The Charge 5 is currently as good a sound as you can get in a portable Bluetooth speaker design for under £200 ($200, AU$300). It boasts marginal improvements, both sonically and aesthetically, over its predecessor, the five-star Charge 4. One day JBL may...
