It is a pity that the speaker is not very exciting in terms of design.

If the neighborhood allows it, of course, but the speaker can easily manage a dinner party that got out of hand in terms of battery life. The sound (with a frequency range of 65 Hz to 20k Hz) is well distributed and you can use the speaker well into the early hours at a fairly high volume. The driver, tweeter and bass radiators (the ones with the exclamation marks on them) do their best to produce big sound and that works well. You do not have to turn on the bass in the sound settings of your smartphone to get a good bass. The sound that comes from this fairly modest speaker is not exactly modest.

The Bluetooth connection is made within a few seconds thanks to Bluetooth 5.1. You then only have to turn on a streaming service or file and you can hear what the JBL Charge 5 is capable of. You do not need any special apps for this: as soon as you switch it on for the first time, it immediately switches to pairing mode and you can add the speaker to the Bluetooth devices on your phone.

You will hear this when you switch it on, although you must of course first connect to your smartphone.
#JBL CHARGE 5 REVIEWS PRO#
According to JBL, that sound is so good because of the so-called Signature Pro Sound. The IP rating is IP67, so it is not recommended to actually run through a sandstorm or dive into the pool with it. Fortunately, according to the tests, they do not end up in the speaker, so you can actually move it a lot and take it with you to a crumbly picnic table, the beach or next to the pool, for example. The JBL Charge 5 is in principle waterproof and dustproof, although it does attract a lot of dust with its textile design. They are in motion when you play sound (and especially noticeable with the bass). If that is not clear by the rubbers at the bottom, or by the large exclamation marks on both sides. This immediately indicates that this speaker really needs to be placed in one particular way. Furthermore, the speaker contains silicone elements, a large JBL logo in the middle and extra rubbers on which it can rest. The speaker consists almost entirely of fabric that is interwoven in such a way that it looks and feels very robust. The Charge is large, robust and therefore brings a lot of volume. Both are a bit more cylindrical, with Flip being a bit smaller and simpler. The Charge and Flip line are most similar in design.
