    Both the new JBL Charge 5 and Sony XB33 are rocking all new speaker set ups from their predecessors. Specifically the Charge 5 is rocking a new tweeter over the Charge 4 where as the XB33’s speaker set up is drastically different from its predecessors cause it has new triangular drivers and passive radiators that shoot out its sides. Now both of these speakers sound good but if you’re looking into getting a mid sized speaker lets see which’s ones right for you cause the Charge 5 and XB33 do have some crucial differences.

      Charge 5 is nicely tuned, end of story.
      By the way tweeters doesn't always mean better highs. If the tuning or the crossover are wrong, speakers without tweeters but that are tuned correctly will sound better. It's always about the tuning in reality.

Sure speakers without tweeters can sound really good. But its always better to have more drivers because it means less distortion and a cleaner sound in general. That's why JBL decided to add this high frequency speaker.

    I owned a Sony XB33 and my sister has JBL Charge 5...as I've observed, the JBL has sound brighter while my Sony sound more bass-kicked and less vocal. But unfortunately, JBL sounds monophonic while Sony has stereo and I can hear its left and right channel separation especially when I set the Sony music player app to Studio effect. And through the EQ preset I have, it sounds perfect.

    How come no mention of the "Priority on sound quality" mode that the Sony XB33 has! It playbacks using the higher quality AAC and LDAC codecs with compatible devices that support them. The XB33 is better than Charge 5 with my iPad Pro and the audio sync (latency) is absolutely superb! Charge 5 seems not as perfect in my opinion, may be cos it only uses SBC. If you watch videos I would definitely go for the Sony. Have to press the Vol + button and then the bluetooth button to flip from the normal SBS codec to the higher quality one. 3 blinks indicates regular and 2 blinks indicates the better sound mode. It does get a bit louder and clearer with my iPad Pro and I am happy. I think for Apple iOS the Sony is better as most Apple devices will automatically support the AAC codec. Whereas most Androids will support LDAC which is supported by Sony XB33 too! For Android, have to go to the Developer section in Settings and choose a different bluetooth codec. Please share experiences as this has made a difference for me. It is hard to find reasonably priced bluetooth speakers that support AAC and LDAC - Sony XB 33 seems rare in that respect and is a winner in my book!

    What mic used for speaker test recording? What room? (its have acoustic treatment? ). Current record show equaly bad sound represention, both speaker have non-linear frequency reponse and tembral coloring, bad resolution just do it different ways. As i remeber sound of jbl IRL its play much better then on this record. (im listening it on good studio DAC and speakers)
    Maybe good idea time by time play original sound for comparsion but its have sens only if you record stuff good enough. For now its sound like you recorded on internal camera mic or external chip lawayer.

    you can get usb audio through the charge 5 in demo mode the problem is its for stores so none of the buttons at the top work (no party boost) and it charges the speakers while its plugged in However jbl can push firmware updates to the device and if the usb c on the charge 5 is a smart in/out usb c they should be able to push a firmware update with a toggle for audio over usb this would also allow you to use a usb c to 3.5 mm adapter where as it sits right now in demo mode the port needs to detect power from another device to wake up where instead they should be able to code it where when you toggle on the usb audio the port wakes up an listens for any incoming audio.

    I’ve had the xb33 for two years and I got tired dragging it around the house so I decided I wanted another one for downstairs. I love the Sony but it’s now a €100 more now then what I got it for two yrs ago. So I bought the charge 5 this week. I connected this to my phone and it blew me away. The sony is no match to the JBL. I just turned the mids down by one in equaliser. The sony I had to change everything and it’s still now as clear. The bass is fantastic on both. But the JBL produces more sound. It’s a matter of taste. If you prefer a warmer sound, the Sony would be better. But I prefer a more realistic sound which is why I prefer the JBL. It actually amazed me straight from the box. I just hope the battery is as good as the Sony’s because I’ve heard ppl complain about it and the Sony’s lasts forever

I still kept the Sony, I had almost the same with the charge 4, now I got a big discount on the charge 5 and damn! What a difference. vocals sound soooo much better now. I’ll sell xb33 and definitely keep the JBL, they had cost me almost the same. I’m interested to what Sony changes the next gen.

      The Sony XB33 produces stereo audio by itself because of its dual transducers whilst the JBL Charge 5 only produces mono audio. Personally I find stereo audio has more clarity over mono but with these sized speakers a lot of people do not notice a difference.

      Both speakers don't put out stereo, you have to pair a second speaker to get stereo audio. Yeah, it's insane that a tiny mono speakers costs that much these days. These companies make a hell of a lot of money from these speakers that are certainly very cheap to build.

    Here’s my take… I compared the XB33 that I had to the charge 4 and hands down the Sony beat the charge 4 by a lot… charge 4 sounded muddy and I just couldn’t do it, xb33 had way cleaner sound with decent bass. Idk how better is the charge 5 compared to the charge 4 and I keep hearing nothing but good things from it.
    The only thing was that the XB33 doesn’t get that loud in my opinion, but sound quality was really good. Again… sound can be subjective so everyone needs to hear this on their own to make a final decision.

The sony does have an EQ adjustment but the jbl still has a 'wider' sound and louder.

    I went from 1 XB40 to 2 XB33s and I'm in two minds as to whether I like them. The party mode is alright but it stops the speakers from working in stereo. I thought 2 of the speakers working in tandem would allow for more volume but I'm guessing stupid E.U. rules put that idea in the bin because having 2 speakers connected at the same time makes no difference to volume. I'm considering sending these speakers back and buying the bigger brother to the XB33s.

    Open sound by JBL do not means automatically better. I find that the Sony has better overall sound, Sony bass are deeper.
    Another important thing that many youtubers miss in speaker comparison, is the sound quality in low volume, like in morning time during a breakfast or a romantic dinner or as a background speaker. I'm sure both will excel but Sony maybe better at lower volume because that JBL 10w twitter will take over all the high frequencies vocals and twits, I mean the sound on JBL will be just nosier. Let me know if you have both speaker which is better in low volume around 10 to 20%.
