Just bought one from Best Buy today. This thing sounds amazing and you can't hear how amazing it sounds listening at it through TH-cam. It packs a lot of bass as well as great quality sound and it does get very loud. Its waterproof and dust proof so it works well at the beach or if you work in an industrial shop where there is a lot of dust in the air.
The sound quality, size, price and looks definitely killed all other Bluetooth speakers out there in the market. It's one of the best I've ever had. Bass is great and the size is perfect. The best speaker for seamen like us who's killing boredom in our cabins. :)
Great choice, I just got this one at Brandsmart and almost made a bad decision getting the Sony but the salesman recommended the JBL and he was right… worth it! Clear loud sound and awesome bass 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Helps me to remember to take my meds, keep me on the loop with severe weather and other random things that I ask for. Absolutely love the clear sound of my music. Durable when I take it with me between homes…never worry about damaging paper thin netting that’s like on other speakers.
Excellent speaker and really comes into it's own when paired and put into stereo mode. I was / am very impressed. In party boost it is just mono speakers playing together. Placed in stereo mode it just comes to life. The sound is phenomenal. I'm enjoying music that I have listened to for years all over again.
@@boomerak4774You have to have 2 compatible party boost speakers, then download THE JBL app, pair the speakers and choose stereo mode rather than party mode. The sound is great, unfortunately the app has a built in equalizer that cannot be used once the speaker is paired with another. Perhaps a software update one day...
@@iainaitken5389 ok I see what you mean now. I just purchased this speaker last night and I'm loving it so far. I downloaded the app and the equalizer makes it sound even better. It's loud i haven't even cranked it up to 100 yet. I think I made a good purchase
I have 3 Charge 5’s. I still can’t wait. To see what the Charge 6 will look like? Is a smaller version of the Extreme 3. With one woofer to out. Have you seen the video and what do you think?
Just snagged a renewed Charge 5 on Amazon for 116.90 and added a sweet co2CREA Silicone Travel Case. See you in a few years when I'm looking for an upgrade.
I have the original Bose Soundlink Mini (1st Gen) and it's getting pretty old. Still sounds awesome but the battery is getting weak. I mainly just use it as a PC speaker now. Does the JBL Charge 5 sound better in your opinion? I don't care so much about max volume, I care about quality.
I have a Charge 5 (the extreme 3's little brother) I find the biggest takeaway is lack of the aux port meaning I cant wire it to my phone or other device for playing games since using Bluetooth without at least aptx built in the latency is way to high however I know usb audio is possible on the device and with the ability to push firmware updates I know my chance is next to 0% but I just hope someone at JBL sees one of my comments and adds a Toggle in there app for audio over usb!
@@adventuremanintheclouds8968 there's no excuse for not having an aux jack and it sounds just fine for Games it's a high end portable speaker, I should be able to pair it with my laptop when traveling camping etc and play a round or two but no, thanks jbl and with ultra cheap audio devices sporting low latency codec there's no excuse either at that price point
I wouldn't upgrade unless your Charge 4 is too old and not working like it should. The JBL charge 4 is still a great speaker but the Charge 5 is slightly better.
hey I have the jbl charge 4 and I was taking a shower with it and it got wet a bit and the cover got like lumps and stuff I did end up fixing it by drying it and smoothing it out but is that supposed to happen?
The Xtreme 3 only has a little more bass and gets a little louder, but it's also much bigger, heavier and more expensive. It's much more worth it buying a Charge 5, otherwise just get a Boom box 2 that costs almost the same.

Does it have a mircophone?
No
@The Dutch Wolf no
Well you replace the dust with music in the air 🎵
I'm actually planning zo get one so this is helpful, thx
Just bought the JBL 5 TODAY!! And wow this speaker is Awesome!! LOVE THE SOUND AND HOW LOUD IT GETS.
Does it have a Microphone?
@@teekinghamzat1865 no
Just bought it tonight in Aus for 199. Was looking at the Extreme 3 but it was 400 bucks and less playing hrs at 15.
@@TheForge10 good choice
@@edyyagami22 i didnt think the jbl extreme 3 offered that much more to justify the extra 200

The Charge 5 now has an equalizer through the JBL app. Now you can turn that bass up even more!
Really
@@anuda6347 yes. If you get the app it will check for updates

I paid 150 a week ago they have an upgrade takes like 30 min to do . Speaker loud as Hell really good sound best money spent
How do I upgrade my friend
I just received one as a birthday present, it does pack a punch, love it.

I love this speaker 🙏. It almost gets too loud and bass'y in my small bathroom 🤣

How do you put in stereo mode? Is that like pairing another speaker with it?

Great review looks like a great portable speaker that packs great sound. I just got one for $125 for that deal it should be a blast!

Update to get the eq and turn the bass to -2 and mid and high up to 2 and try it. Your welcome
Awesome quality content brother.. love from india ❤️
Thanks man! 👍
I got it for my birthday and it is a beast 😂
Bro you need to include songs with more bass like future or metro boomin for the sound test I couldn’t really get a good feel for the bass aspect
metro boomin make it boom
Just snagged a renewed Charge 5 on Amazon for 116.90 and added a sweet co2CREA Silicone Travel Case. See you in a few years when I'm looking for an upgrade.
Finally a TH-camr putting decent music where I actually shazzamed it and could understand the sound lmao
Haha 🙌
Got one of these with a 20% student discount so total of £118 I don't know what that is in $ but it's better than the original 150
It a very good speaker imo because of the incredible sound quality and bass it packs for its size, totally worth the 130 I paid
I have the original Bose Soundlink Mini (1st Gen) and it's getting pretty old. Still sounds awesome but the battery is getting weak. I mainly just use it as a PC speaker now. Does the JBL Charge 5 sound better in your opinion? I don't care so much about max volume, I care about quality.
Please play tunes that have more bass so we can get a feel for how it plays
Nice video, would you reccomend the Sony SRS-XB33 or the JBL Charge 5?
JBL sounds better
Are you able to play the speaker while charging it?
I have a Charge 5 (the extreme 3's little brother) I find the biggest takeaway is lack of the aux port meaning I cant wire it to my phone or other device for playing games since using Bluetooth without at least aptx built in the latency is way to high however I know usb audio is possible on the device and with the ability to push firmware updates I know my chance is next to 0% but I just hope someone at JBL sees one of my comments and adds a Toggle in there app for audio over usb!
would a usb c to 3.5 work?
This wasn't made to play games on. It's to listen to music while being outside and doing stuff like swimming, games, exercise, party, BBQ, etc.
@@adventuremanintheclouds8968 there's no excuse for not having an aux jack and it sounds just fine for Games it's a high end portable speaker, I should be able to pair it with my laptop when traveling camping etc and play a round or two but no, thanks jbl and with ultra cheap audio devices sporting low latency codec there's no excuse either at that price point
It doesn't have a 3.5 input because it is mono.
@@bongb56 Please tell me how you arrived at that conclusion ?
Would you recommend to a school bus full of 12 basketball players??
I have the jbl charge 4 do you think it’s worth upgrading?
I wouldn't upgrade unless your Charge 4 is too old and not working like it should. The JBL charge 4 is still a great speaker but the Charge 5 is slightly better.
Also has a strap. Like the Extreme 3.
hey I have the jbl charge 4 and I was taking a shower with it and it got wet a bit and the cover got like lumps and stuff I did end up fixing it by drying it and smoothing it out but is that supposed to happen?
Hey! Thats very strange. That shouldn't happen to it since its water resistant but maybe if it's old it could possibly do that.
That happens to a few of them but when it drys the material stretches itself out oddly
@@butigino nah it's not old, it's actually quite new or at least it was at the moment
I have one myself and I love it!
The JBL charge 5 it's like a little Extreme 3 but the charge 5 simular to the Extreme 2.
My jbl charge 5 audio cracks sometimes..not frequently but. Is it a Defective product?
Prolly the new firmware update
Does your jbl charge 5 audio crack sometimes after the new firmware update?
I think i have heard this might be a new problem
@@fxui kk thnx for reply
Great video!!! I would be grateful if you would compare charge 5 and sony xb33
Thanks I really appreciate it! I will try to do that in the future 👍
Charge 5 kills xb
Got on discount today now i got 2 great sound
One more the End caps are the same. As the ones on the Extreme 3.
my jbl doesnt charge or blink to red.. Could you help me fix on this. thnx
What is the best color for charge 5 do you like?
If u´r a car mechanic and do a lot of oil change, l´ll recommend the white C5
@@ralphdoremy-fasola2796 🤣🤣🤣
I noticed a high beep when charing it, am I the only one or is this normal?
Wich should I buy, the jbl flip 6 or the jbl charge 5, thanks.
Charge 5. If u buy a used one you should get it at 100$~.. Great value for money.
I have one too and yes it is amazing
Whats is the song title on that 8:00 song
Can it pair with my Boombox 2....
sir can i have that for christmas😉
Careful when you get up :).
Just got mine today, very disappointed in the loudness, my $40 bugani is wayyy louder. I don't understand what you get for the price 🤷
I have a flip 5 but considering get a charge. Or would 2 flip 5 be compatible to one charge
I had a flip5 charge 5 is like double of it
bro . jbl is for bass. u didnt put better music for bass ..... to hear
Beautiful, manly, attractive hands!
Would you say it’s as rugged as the UE megaboom 3
It is! I had the Boom 3 for 2 years now and recently got the Charge 5. The Charge 5 is a more sold feeling speaker aswell as a better sounding one.
@@jblking3896 on god
Lol this speaker does get loud since I own one
Charge 5 got low bass is a small speaker
5:43
This one or the Xtreme 3?
Xtreme 3 is a beast
@@aarushsharma2000 a beast is boombox2 !

Which one is better/stronger two charge 5 stereo mode or one extreme 3 ? Thanks in advance
For sure two chage 5
I would imagine it would be the same, but xtreme 3 would be easier to take on a hiking trip, beach or outdoor cookout
Xtreme 3
It will give more bass
I would definently want to charge 5s it provide better sound with the stereo
My rubber feet on the bottom of mine came off
Plz name song 5:50
Elwin- i wanna get high on you
I'm about to buy one off Facebook marketplace they wanted $100 I offered $70 and I'm getting it for $70
All the tracks you played hv no bass
Soft music test.....
Is it possible to plug a usb drive for music play?
No
It is too loud for its size
can you give me one of that man 🥺
Bruh
jbl sounds cheap. Just buy bose soundlink flex.
Bro? The Charge 5 craps all over the SoundLink flex. You won't know how much better the JBL is until you hear it in person
I wonder who copies who. On the intro song @jinnyboytv @jinnyboytvhangouts
