There are different variants of the charge 5 that most consumers should know about. On the bottom of the box that it comes in, there are 2 letters at the beginning of the serial number. I’ve encountered three of them so far. The ND, which is made in China, & is the original model. The NT, which is also made in China, but came out later. Then there’s the TT model, which is made in Vietnam. The ND is the most dynamic out of the three, with lower, deeper bass response. The NT doesn’t get quite as loud, & the bass is a bit softer or warmer. The TT in comparison with the other two doesn’t even come close. It’s much lower in volume & bass. I would not purchase one of these speakers online for this reason. Do yourself a favor, & go into a retail store and ask the salesperson for one. That way, you can physically lift the box up, & read the first two letters of the serial number. I ordered my second charge 5 online without knowing this, & ended up getting the TT version. Mind you, I already owned the ND version, so my ears knew what to expect. I was so let down by the sound, that I sold it for $50.00, & ordered another one, which was made in China. Unfortunately, it wasn’t an ND, but an NT instead. If you’re not afraid to spend a few more dollars, it really is worth the time, trouble, & money by purchasing it in - store only. I hope this helped everyone else avoid the same mistake that I made.
The Luna has better imaging and instrument separation. The highs are also a lot cleaner and more accurate. They aren't too pushed forward like the highs on the JBL. Also, the JBL has deep bass but it's not full it sounds a little held back compared to the Luna
Tried both today. JBL sounds louder, but also ‘cheap’, far away from Hifi. Luna doesn’t sound that loud (not the best choice for open spaces to be honest), but in terms of sound balance and clarity is like day and night. Also tried Bose Soundlink Flex, it sounds better than Charge 5, but lacks the nice bass that Luna offers (at the same size).
@ it depends on your sound taste. I like the clarity and definition of the Luna, other ones prefer a bigger bass even if it lacks the definition and stereo image (Bose over HK)
Harman Kardon +1 Both of them have great bass, but the JBL's high notes and spatial are a bit harsh, sounding like a thin sheet of paper vibrating Not that clean to me... just me :" P
Tried both today (at a store). Bose has a really clear sound, nice soundstage too, but it lacks the bass response that Luna offers. If you ask me, only considering loudness, Charge is the choice. But overall, considering clarity, soundstage, sound balance, Luna is the clear winner. (Tried different genres, Latin, RnB, EDM, etc)
@@macorez I also tried the Bose Soundlink flex and the Harman/Kardon Luna (at home) and decided to buy the Bose Soundlink Flex because it has a great sound ( both sound great) with more bass/punch AND because it is much more versatile, robust and practical. I think it's also great that you can operate the Bose lying on its back. The surfaces of the Harman/Kardon Luna appear very sensitive to me so I wouldn't use it outside. In my opinion the Luna is a "living room-speaker". As far as the sound is concerned, you can easily fine-tune both with an equalizer app if you think it's necessary. I find it great that the Bose tells you the charge level and which device it's connected to when you turn it on. The only downside to the Bose is that it only has Bluetooth 4.2. For me the Bose has the far better price-performance ratio. Can't stop listening to music since i bought it.😁
i was in between Dali Katch, Bang & Olufsen Beosound A1 (2nd), Harman Kardon Luna, JBL Flip 6&Charge5 and Bose SoundLink Flex. After a lot of review and comparison, i bought the Harman Kardon Luna. JBL is so good at sound quality but it looks like teen thing, Charge 5 is really big/heavy to carry, so i eliminate the JBL. BO Beosound A1 made me confused about quality due to i dont think this "Danish" or "Nordic" style products are not value based pricing expect the Dali Katch. Bose SoundLink Flex is also nice but after all i went with Luna. If i was more eager or audiophile, most probably i would take the Dali Katch.
Love your channel!!! Keep doing that! Really appreciate the recording quality. I was doubtful about what hq speaker I should buy, tilI I watched MANY of your different reviews/comparisons and decided to go for a HK Onyx 7. Sound is powerful, it makes my ceiling vibrate 🤣. Big hug from Argentina 👋🏻
Louder is not always better! I think on headphones the lunar is clearer and better quality! The JBL is louder though so there it is! Choices people....

@@ivanjerez2417 You’re welcome. I just don’t want to see other consumers go through what I’ve had to deal with. It’s like pulling teeth, literally.
Are all your speakers of the same colour?
Sometimes the white ones have different letters from the black ones.
@@adi_1706 Yes, they're all black.
Bro, Twój ZASADNICZY błąd polega na tym, że wybrałeś/kupiłeś !JBL😂 Ale to Twój problem. Co, kto lubi i uważa.

From the looks of it the flex is smaller? Correct me if I’m wrong please
@@macorezwhich one sounds better the bose or the hk luna?

Harman is most clearly in sound, the Jbl is more distorted.
The Harman is more truthful. The jbl more for young people and outdoor
😂 pinagsasabi mo
Agree on this one
Harman Kardon +1
Both of them have great bass, but the JBL's high notes and spatial are a bit harsh, sounding like a thin sheet of paper vibrating
Not that clean to me... just me :" P
JBL is better in Pop, rock, movie soundtrack……
HK would be more classic, vocal, instruments……requires lots of detail and clearness
Totally agree
@@luisfonseca4296동의
Luna is more versatile, the Charge5 is heavy and large. So I think Luna will be better for EDM
can you compare it? hk luna vs bose sl flex?
I have the same question as you, hope to have an answer soon
I will try to get the BOSE sound link at make a comparison🙏

Harman have better resolution in my opinion
Please video on aiwa speakers
Thanks for the cool clip. This makes it really hard for me to choose a favorite. OMG 😊😊 I love both but actually only one.

可以用JBL charge 跟JBL PartyBox encore essential比較嗎😢
No because encore power and more deep bass. Encor good for party
@@Америкос-з3яI have both now 🎉
For me JBL charge won because has much better highs and Mids and charge is louder as well.
👌

Does the h/k have a app with equalizer adjustments?
Unfortunately for now.. there is none.
Which one produce more Deep Bass?
Sounds nearly the same. But the C5 is slightly better & sounds deepers to me.
The Charge is larger and bulkier, of course it will be more immerssive and fuller overall
How to kno if my jbl is TL or ND?
look at the USB port of powerbank in charge 5, if it says SN:ND then it's nd
@@glythewolford9837 thanks broda
@@glythewolford9837 sn:TT tho
!JBL gra bardziej ofensywnym dźwiękiem H/K bardziej kulturalnym, (bez popadania w skrajność). Z tych dwóch wybieram H/K Luna.
Fender riff vs charge 5 please
C5❤❤👍👍
Both 2 sounds superior, they both are tie to me
Charge 5 is still better then Harman fs
Yes real talk. Jbl better than Harman kardon
Fr bro
Luna looks fine too, with fine trebles, not as crazy like jbl looks and you expect be that crazy by jbl to sound
@@franzbeckenbauer7490 alr
@@jayjay27_JBLJbl is a cheaper version of HK
The HK to my ears is a richer fuller sound only just,but the charge has better battery and being fully waterproof wins it.
Thanks for the video 👍
Compared to which speaker?
Charge 5 is the best performance
Wala ka pa po jbl 1100 ultimate party box
Very soon po😊
JBL sounds too much echoing and broad like from a large hall, i much prefer the sound of the Harmon Kardon and it's a more beautiful looking speaker
How can we compare with our mobile speaker 😆
same company. pareho silang maganda ang tunog. depende nlang sa gusto ng tao ayon sa panglasa sa bawat taong tagapakinig
Luna vs Flip 6
Luna is better trust me I have both
@@SKELLYWAG06What exactly is better, very interesting? I also hesitated for a long time and chose Luna.
@@11GDR the bass is stronger on higher volumes and the treble is much more balanced. And it's not earpierced like the charge 5 playing above 70% vol
You have good hearing. And the Charge 5 is also a large barrel, which is not convenient to carry.
@@11GDR yes and JBL needs to work on there trebles
很棒，謝謝您的分享
Def the charge 5 for the price
Well described!!! Like it😊
Thank you❤
Jbl❤️💪
Listening to this JBL gave me headache. Terrible. I got Soundlink flex.
Harkan kardon luna crisp sounds
Actually you didn’t use track with bass… the bass drum is not bass
Both speakers sounds nice and the bass and vocals were clean.Better than the Sony SRS XE300
Charge 5 is better overall than luna
Don't be silly!
!JBL gra (jak zwykle) drażniącym dźwiękiem. Słychać to nawet przez smartfon Samsung Galaxy A52 5G 😂
Jbl âm thanh tươi sáng trẻ trung bass chắc vang . HK bass trầm nặng
👍👍👍
JBL C5
Jbl❤
Charge 5 has deeper bass
I hope everyone knows that JBL owns harmen💀
Eh Harman owns jbl my man
@@yourekra2587 yes thats what i ment to say
La competencia sería el jbl flip 6
