I've the charge 5 wifi sounds a little louder and if it's connected to wifi it sounds even better. I chose it because its battery is bigger and I didn't think partyboost was a major thing for me
you can’t get any real Dolby atmos from speaker off this size .. it’s all a marketing gimmick. Just read up on what Dolby atmos is and how it really works
@@josephebrahim9048 that kinda makes sense and i hope they don't mess it up like the Extreme 4 because i thought they were gonna improve the speaker setup like for example the Boombox 3 but no all they did was change the battery and make the design worse
@@akcaikerenthey played around with the eq Too, Bass at 70% is distorting and even tough it gets a bit louder than the xtreme 3 at max volume, it has less bass at that volume
One question that isn't making sense: charge 5 has a 7500mah battery, good for "20 hrs" playback. The charge 5 wifi has a 14400mah battery, also good for "20 hrs" playback. How is the charge 5 wifi not playing for many more hrs??? Wifi doesn't consume even near as much energy as Bluetooth, and even if so, use that speaker in Bluetooth mode and wouldnt we be comparing apples to apples here???
@@GYMCADDY Thanks Chief. I place a while lot of reliance on your reviews.. but it seemed the loss of party boost feature took your attention away from the biggest dividend of the new Wifi capability: Speaker Group Function. Add the ability to continue playing music even when receiving calls on your phone (for example) and you'd appreciate this feature. Keep up the good work though you made me search out another reviewer today: New Stuff Tv. He did a good job too. Cheers
This was a huge issue i just experienced, i didnt realize wifi models were not partyboost compatible with standard bluetooth verison, kinda sucks.

I mean the charge 5 wifi has a new update bluetooth version 5.3 while the original has 5.1
How wifi handles lossless audio? Does it sound better than Bluetooth?
That’s the whole point of the speaker and he didn’t even mention it. Worst review ever.
I have Denon AVR. There is distinct difference between bluetooth and wifi playing sound.
Does it support High Res Audio over Wifi? Is there a subjective audible difference between playing via chromecast over wifi vs bluetooth?
Can the WiFi version play music in Dolby atmos?

Am guessing they did this to get people's reactions cause am thinking the charge 6 and flip 7 are going in hard on smart speakers capabilities
I sold my standard Charge 5 and I'm undecided whether to buy the Charge 5 WiFi. Do you think it's worth it? 🤔
When do you think the Charge 6 and Flip 7 will be announced?
Probably around June cuz that’s when the go 4 and clip 5 drop so ima guess they’ll announce them as well around that time

The charge 5 is $130 at Walmart every day.
Yup, actually walmart has been putting good sale. I bought the JBL Boombox 3 for 350 dlls
@@ruleman1234 and I purchased two JBL Partybox encore’s from Walmart for $150 each.
I paid 155$ for my charge 5 WiFi at Costco on sale and it was even lower at 135$ but I don’t know if it’s still like that
Saw this and even the extreme 3 if you get it in black is only $219! Thanks for sharing
@@ruleman1234 ha nice man buy you didn't beat the Netherlands for 250 euro I got min boombox 3
Do you keep your JBL charge 5 up-to-date to the latest version on the app?
Jbl charge 3 was the best. I've had 3,4, and 5. They keep taking away features every model update... I'm honestly about to go to sonos speakers
I like not having to use my phone to connect to it when I am at home. The WiFi reaches my back yard as well. So for me I prefer the WiFi.
Hi, I use Apple music on an android phone. Can I connect via Wi-Fi and play from the Apple app ? Cheers.

I bought a JBL charge 5 for $130 and I love it!
Same just got one upgrading finally from my flip 4. The charge 5 knocks!
Did you use a lossless, bit perfect audio source though?
Can i connect jbl charge 5 wifi with other jbl speakers ?
Do you use hi-res streaming services like apple music when you say that the battery lasts for at least 12 hours or is it just spotify?
you say spotify isnt hi-res?
Yes@@patroklo
Hi, can I stream to both charge 5 and bar800 over airplay at the same time?
Hey bro can you please do a review on the JBL Acoustics 500? 🙏
Why dosent the jbl charge 5 wifi come with party boost ? 😡
Why your retail price is always higher than actual price 😂😂
It retails at 179.99 on Amazon and JBL website
Please please please, can this speaker be added to Google Home Speaker Group? Or which other water resistant WiFi speaker can do this?
Yes

Only way this is worth it is if on top of WIFI they threw in high res Audio certifications a extra 50 bucks is too much just fir wifi

No Party Boost? I'll stick with my Charge 5!
No party boost is the dumbest thing JBL could have ever done 😭
Eighty percent twelve hours lies😂 lucky to get 6at that volume, stoli] hopping the wifi model gets partyboost
Nobody wants basic. Would you settle for a basic wife? Nope.
