Product details
Web ID: 13190307Perfect size and sound speaker
This is perfect size speaker with a good sound. I did a lot of research before buying and checked out different speakers at friends places. JBL charge 5 outsands other. It’s the best value for money.

Very very nice
Bought for our boat. It is a superb piece of equipment. Reliable Bluetooth connection (so many speakers are not) and great sound. Don’t even think about it. It is the best!

Charge 5 has NO 1/8" audio jack
I bought this JBL Charge 5 to use in an audio setup, but was very disappointed to realize that it has no 1/8" audio jack, and that this seems to have changed from the JBL Charge 4 and all the previous models, which did have one. I brought this without checking first, since my friend's older JBL Charge had an audio jack. This meant I could not use it for my project at all. I don't know why they removed the audio jack – it's not like they are short on space. It's a portable speaker. I should be able to plug my audio into it. Disappointed.

Thanks for your feedback. Yes, our JBL Charge 5 doesn't have an audio input. You may want to consider our JBL Charge 6, as it can connect to a laptop via Bluetooth or USB-C connection for lossless audio. Please make sure to press and hold the play button before plugging the USB-C cable into your speaker. You will hear an audible confirmation. If you prefer a 3.5mm aux connection, you may check our JBL Charge 4. If you need more help, please contact our customer support.
The ability to connect multiple speakers. Ease of.
I own 6 jbl bluetooth speakers and love them all. I have 2 custom stretched lowrider bicycle. On one I have 2 charge 5's, the other bike 2 charge 4's. I also have a 3rd charge 5 for going to the beach and I have a partybox encore essential that rocks.

Thanks for your feedback. If you are referring to the PartyBoost feature. Please know that the PartyBoost is not available when your JBL Charge 5 is connected to a computer via Bluetooth. This is a technical limitation. When connected to a computer, the computer acts as the primary device. Therefore, your JBL Charge 5 does not have control of re-transmitting the Bluetooth signal to other JBL speakers. If you need further assistance, you may contact us.
Great speaker!
My daughter bought this refurbished. So far it’s worked as well as new. Very happy with this purchase!
