JBL Charge 5 Portable Wireless Bluetooth Speaker - Black (Renewed)

The media could not be loaded. I ordered my JBL Charge 5 as a refurbished item to save $50. To my surprise when it arrived, it was brand new. While the original serial number had been covered with a sticker, the sticker said “new”.Opening up the package it was evident that it was indeed new and untouched. Pulling out the JBL charge 5 and powering it up, it immediately went into Bluetooth discovery mode, making it easy to pair my iPhone with it. After a quick test to make sure it worked perfectly, I then installed the JBL portable app on my phone. After installation and allowing the app to discover the speaker, it notified me of a software update. The software update was simple and only took about four minutes.I previously had a JBL Charge 3 and it served me well for many years. The JBL charge 5 is a huge improvement over previous models. While the device is larger, almost like the length of a football, it is still easy to carry and easy to store in a backpack.Playing some of my favorite reggae music through the speaker demonstrated the power of the base in the device. Passive radiators on each end of the charge provide pleasing base that fills the room nicely. The charge is advertised to have 40 W of power, and I believe it has every watt as advertised.Physically, the Charge has easy to use buttons across the top. Interestingly, some of the buttons almost appear to be decorations like the plus and minus for raising and lowering the volume. It indeed looks like the device is waterproof and dust resistant. The bottom of the JBL charge has a rubber strip anti-slip pad on it. It will be interesting to see how those grips hold up after a period of use.I’m taking the JBL charge to the beach this weekend. It will be interesting to see if the battery life is as advertised.All in all I highly recommend the JBL charge 5. Awesome sound at an affordable price.

The durablity and sound quality, coupled with the EQ in the app make this money well spent. I like the size, it is perfectly in between being a small bluetooth speaker and too big for portability. A great overall speaker. Oh and the ability to pair it with the JBL320 is awesome. I will be purchasing another one for the stereo connectivity

Todo llega muy bien protegido

Excelente

Sounds good overall. Could use a little less treble and more bass, even with adjusting in the app

The sound is really good. This is one of the best ($100-150) portable speakers I've owned. Bass is rich and its loud enough for what i use it for.Battery life- I've only charged it once. it lasts a long time

Es recomendable buen producto

Me encanta por que se escucha muy bien, el sonido es perfecto y es alto más que encantado
