I bought the flip 6 but after using it for a couple days it just wasn’t enough , i was going to originally going to get the charge 5 but wasn’t sure about spending the extra money , but i decided to return the flip and get the charge and I’m so glad i did, it sounds so so so much better and totally worth the extra $50, great review bro
I have both and when you play them alternating between both they sound almost exactly the same, I mean yeah the charge 5 does have slightly more bass but other than that in all other aspects I'd say they're the same
Received mine a couple of days ago. First impression, wow. You don’t expect a little device like that to emit so much bass. If you turn this device up LOUD, you will lose a fair bit of bass. This isn’t anything like having a decent pair of speakers and an amp. There’s an equaliser on the app and if you use Spotify like me there’s an equaliser you can use with that too. So there’s a fair amount of adjusting levels that you can play around with. I have mine at a medium level (enough to fill a room) and it’s a great sound, I love it. Recommend
@@insightsbysajid the only reason i didnt bought this is that it doesnt have the adjustable EQ? But do i really need the eq or is it just phenomanal sounding? Let me know
I bought mine before I saw this. Pretty much spot on, except for one point I have yet to verify; Battery life. I know that cranked all the way up with the extended bass it will last about 5 hours. With it at 7/10 volume and extended bass off it appears that it may go past 8 hours but I yet to test it as my shift in the noisy factory is only 8 hours
My thoughts exactly, I work in a large type warehouse and all my workmates have the same taste in music (thankfully) and always want it cranked up, and it lasts my shift and then it's pretty much done.................. but we are talking turned up loud in a warehouse, love the bass and the quality, thumbs up from me.
Hi: I would like to know how long the JBL Charge 5 stays on after you stop the music. 5 minutes, 15 minutes, 30 minutes... And if there is any voice saying "Power on", "Power off", "Low battery"... and so on. Thanks!
Getting the Charge 5 tomorrow. Since when I ordered it back at 3rd up to today, I couldn't help but watch... erm... at this point, *_every single video_* about this bad boi. To say I'm excited is an understatement. Also, Scarlet Fire! Perhaps you know about a certain Aussie who screams at nuggets daily?
I have 2 of these units paired up in stereo in my bedroom (12x18). The sound output from these little speakers is amazing. I don't have to get anywhere near max volume for regular listening. Pairing up in stereo is a whole 'nother level with these speakers. I leave the jbl app eq set flat and use the eq from poweramp, which is much more versatile. Definitely worth the money, in my opinion..
Hello there, I just bought the JBL Charge 5 and hear the bass is too strong. I use it with PC (Windows). Is it possible to change (lower the bass) it? 🤫 I do not plan to use it with phone. I see people using the equalizer on the phone, would it change the sound on PC if I changed it in the app? 🙂 (It is funny how you HAVE to have a phone even if you do not want to use it with it, I did not know it before buying) Thank you for the help. 😉
Absolutely go for it if your thinkin about it. I play tunes every day (and we all know what music does for the soul), and when im movin up stairs or in the shower, i simply bring it with me. Music in motion :) Velvety sounds from this little beauty. Reminds me of a giant JVC i bought in the 90s for 3 times the price. Not as loud, but totally loud enough! If its for the house and not a big dance hall, i promise, its loud enough!
@@trini_boi2414 In the beginning, absolutely i think this will last 8hrs at 75%. In time ..mines now almost 2yrs old, it has depleated a bit, but not much. I was convinced it was worse than it was until i found out my partner had been using to too when i was at work. Its really not that noticeable though and im still very happy with it :)
@@trini_boi2414 Yes, im sure it would. I recently thought the battery had depleted, then i found out my partner had been using it also 😆 If you go for it let me know what you think.
I just bought a charge 5 and there no bass on mine I’ve downloaded the app updated the software and played with eq it gets loud but no bass. Is mine defective?
As someone who has owned multiple ultimate ear, Bluetooth speakers, they do not sound better and do not have better base than JBL speakers I can 1000% vouch for that JBL is way better than ultimate ears.
also how is the speaker coming with usb A to usb C cable a and no brick a problem? I just don't get it first of all, if your phone's charging brick doesn't have usb A, just use the cable that came with the phone to charge the speaker ? also, if you didn't have that cable before because your phone has usb C to usb C, now you can actually use the speaker as a powerbank with the cable it came with
Too many petty criticisms on here. That was a fun review and informative too. I have just got one and it is nuts how good it sounds. Didn't buy it for conf calls wtf! No brick no matter, got loads already. Just get a silicon cover with strap and enjoy it. Nothing to regret here.
What type of "brick" do I use for charging the Charge 5 battery. The Apple 5 w USP Adapter? By the a good point and weakness of JBL product and recharging?
Right now I have the JBL flip 4 and it’s pretty old ngl, thinking of getting this and plus I’m a big jbl fan and I don’t know if I should get it or not It doesn’t have the the cable?? Inside the box?
That's awesome that you got a charge 5 that actually works. I bought mine in September and I'm only getting four and a half hours of play time. I contacted customer service and they sent me a couple of things I can do to test to see if it's my battery or if it's a faulty speaker and I kid you. Not when I tell you that in the email it says play music at the lowest volume. Possible to see how much battery life I get? Well I'll tell you right now that I played music at the Rose volume possible and after 3 hours the battery didn't even fluctuate. That means the battery is fine but when I turn it up so I can hear the damn music. The battery dies quick. So disappointed in this product. I'm glad you at least got a good product. I have a charge 4 and I play that thing full volume and it gives me at least 6 or 7 hours
Just replaced my other JPL BLT that I've had for about 10 years. Haven't used it much yet but am pretty satisfied. It's a little on the big side for portable BLT speakers but have been pretty impressed so far.
Great review. That big speaker sounded nice and this one also sounded very good. I just ordered one for $125. I know they have great quality and at that deal I’m sure it’s going to be a blast!
@@robertvazquez2964 i wish but im from india and the price here is 180$ but i'll take one though thanks mate! But the only sad thing is i wanted a white one but its 30$ more so i stick with the teal one looks sick!
i had the JBL charge 3 and loved it, I use while kayak fishing so waterproof is a must. My step dad loved it to play music to dance with my mom in her final years so i never took it back. He kept it after she died. I just ordered the charge 5 for free (points from my job like credit card points) and looking forward. The charge 3 was awesome sounding and not tinny like the ultimate ears one i had. Also durable AF. i could use it as a football and it wouldnt hurt it.
I bought an Xtreme 3 as i wanted to use it with my scooter on group rides but its so big that i wish i could have gotten a Charge 5 instead. The bass response is definitely amazing and i dont want to return it because i got it for $250.00 before tax on sale. The charge 5 wasnt on sale at the time but now im wondering if i should pick one up afterall lol. Or wait for a sale.
I would recommend getting a critical listening set up to compare the speakers you review to. Your phone and iPad as well as that home soundbar + sub are not good reference speakers
i wanted the megaboom 3 but considering its not being shipped eh this will have to do, still looking into them at the moment until friday then i decide.
Solid powerful sound. I live in a small flat and it's perfect for my needs. I use it on my laptop to play games, watch movies & TV shows and performs great. I set the EQ on the app to Bass:Max, Mid: Middle and Treble: -1
Well I see the style of review you're trying to do....but... you've got some of your facts my twisted dude lol, all good, nice vid you will just get better!👍🏽👌🏾
I almost bought it. I was totally disappointed because it had a completely bad sound, the middle and highs were completely weak and cloudy, there was bass, but all in all a very bad impression, so I returned it to the seller.
First, it’s hard to see how any sort of realistic sound test of a speaker can be performed over YT audio. Second, I have yet to see a single speaker test on YT that used an actual sound level measuring device, y’ know, decibels and all that. People love to say something like “This is 60% volume,” which is of course completely uninformative.
I loved it until it started dying within a hour every time I use it. At first I’d get maybe 3hrs or so. Now it can be flashing red in under a hour after leaving it charge over night. Sounds great but it dies and gets super hot when it’s charging
@@thennekcdcdthennek6417 Never said I used it while charging. I said I let it charge over night. And why shouldn’t you be able to use it while charging?? Do you use your phone while it’s plugged in?
For the price, Soundcore Motion+. It's so much more economical than the JBL Charge 5. However with that said, the JBL Charge 5 does sound better. It's a marginal difference, but enough for my dad (a speaker guy) to notice. If you're an audio person, definitely try to see them in-person (at a Best Buy for instance) and play them both. They both sound great, but the JBL Charge 5 is a little better. Hope this helps. Have a wonderful day!
It is LEAGUES better than any other speaker at the same price point and even a lot of the ones above it... I bought a BOSE Soundlink Resolve 2 at $229 a couple months ago and the Charge 5 seriously just makes the BOSE speaker look like crap in general... the JBL speaker is twice as loud... Slightly better sound quality, uses Bluetooth 5.1 while the Bose speaker uses Bluetooth 4.2... And the BOSE still uses Micro USB... Like seriously... it takes like 8-10 hours to charge the SLR2 from 0 while it takes the Charge 5 about 5-6 hours tops... The SLR2 will die at max volume after only about 5 hours... I can play the charge 5 at max volume for about 9-11 hours straight before it drops below 20%... This is a great example of "Brand Recognition"... More people have heard of BOSE so obviously they are going to buy what they believe to be extremely high quality over something that is actually high quality... Now I do say all of this... But I also bought the JBL Charge 4 back in February 2020... And That one did fall flat after about 6-7 months... the battery sucked, the quality declined, and it took nearly a full day to charge from 0-100
After acquiring charge 5 I must say, it sucks so much at higher volume especially on music that is edm/electro or dustep this sound only somewhat fine on pop/rap music
ok i'm really disappointed with JBL in general, thought it would be possible to connect all JBL speakers of the newer variants with each other... but it turns out daisy chaining without a phone is virtually impossible... which I think is a cheek. Why do I have to use my speakers with a phone? So unfortunately again not what was promised and certainly not easy to connect (as they promise in their ads) without a phone.
Ps: why do you prevent normal daisy chaining and force people to use your app? Why so everybody uses hours to research only to find : the great jbl people really prevent daisy chaining so they can sell more of their different parts, but the idea is ancient but JBL can't do it...
I felt that there was. Got the chance to sample them in Currys. I was gonna go for the flip 6 originally, but this model gives a fuller, rounder sound :) Id buy another tomorrow if anything happened to it!! Edit: Dont buy in currys tho....got mine on Amazon loads cheaper! Just wanted to hear them for myself 👍

*proceeds to show a flip 5*
Is there a big difference in charge 5 vs flip 6
I felt that there was. Got the chance to sample them in Currys. I was gonna go for the flip 6 originally, but this model gives a fuller, rounder sound :) Id buy another tomorrow if anything happened to it!!
Edit: Dont buy in currys tho....got mine on Amazon loads cheaper! Just wanted to hear them for myself 👍
