I purchased the Charge 5 about a week ago. I liked it so much I bought another so as to get stereo and party mode. Seriously impressed by the audio loudness and quality. Also Partyboost is next level
Super helpful man. this helped me choose which speaker to go for. I went for the Charge 5
I went and got 4 Of these speakers, and I was very surprised to see the power of 4 Charge 5's at 50% Volume shake the walls and floor in my room. These speakers are pretty powerful. I'm glad I bought multiple Charge 5's Instead of an Xtreme 3. You can buy 3 charge 5's for almost the same price for 1 Xtreme 3. Thankyou for the vid...I would have wasted money If I didn't. :)
I got the JBL Charge 1 in 2014. I've been waiting for the Charge 5 to come out and I was checking nearly every day for a couple months. Well yesterday I was at Walmart and saw the Charge 5!! I know it's been out since like May 😅 but I'm excited to get one
I got the charge 2 in 2016
Does your jbl charge 5 audio crack sometimes after the new firmware update?
I just bought the Charge 5 today. Its my first JBL speaker. Up until now I have been buying cheap Bluetooth speakers at dollar value stores that have poor sound quality and don't hold a charge long. This is a big upgrade for me. Sound quality is awesome.
Is it loud bro?
@@antonisxormpas yes it is
Funny you say the cheap ones cant hold a charge. The charge 5 i have litrerally cant hold a charge after a few months of usage, stay away from jbl tbh
@@inb5488 My Flip 4 holds still at least 5 hours of charge after 5 years of intensive use!
@@inb5488 you shouldve had that replaced and not give false reviews
Hi, I have a problem with my JBL 5. After using it perfectly, I try to charge it and it
Doesn’t . It works for a minute and then shuts off. What am I doing wrong
I've had my charge 5 for a few months now and it's awesome ! Sounds great outside and even better party boosted to my flip 5
Is it good and how long does it last I wanna buy it
Really good, more bass and louder than my flip 5 , 8 or more hours . It takes me a couple days of playing before it runs down and needs recharge
@@jimbo4203 o ok thank you I've been looking at it for a while and idrk if I should buy it
I think you'll be happy
I also have a flip 5 and I’m trying to get a charge 5 I don’t know what to do haha
Great Video Thanks!! 👍🏾
How did you get it green? If it was custom, whats the color code?
At 2:06 what is the color of that one it look so cool and where is it available on 😃
What an awesome review. How can anyone thumbs down. Subbed!
Maybe because there's no relevance of putting an egg on the driver.
I love JBL. Thanks for the video.
What a unique review I appreciate and subscribe
Does it have built in mic?
I gave a 1000th like. :) Good work!
You are a legend!
Can you pair (party Boost) charge 4 & charge 5?
I have an xtreme 2 and two charge 4s, so I am still using the connect+ feature. I would probably use the xtreme 2 as the “master speaker,” and then connect the charge 4s to it.
Is 2 jbl flip 5's better than 2 charge?
Is the charge 5 really bass heavy? I bought the pulse 4 thinking of that but it ended sounding very flat.
Do you expect Triple 13" 3000W Subwoofer Bass ? Then yes, it'll be flat compared to that. If you want decent Bass, get real speakers and subwoofers, not toys like this.
I have both. Looking back, getting the newer Charge 5 was not necessary at all. Financially, it was stupid of me- actually. The Charge 4 is awesome without fault. Charge 5 sounds great also, but there is no reason to get one if you already have a Charge 4. I like both and do not prefer one over the other... Though the Charge 4 does have the Aux input, which is missing in the newer Charge 5. I guess, if you have money to blow, get both, but don't expect a noticeable difference. In my real life use, I can't tell a meaningful difference at all.
I got the charge 4 with my airmiles brother and honestly I was regretting it and go for the 5 but with your comment I’ll just wait for the 4 to arrive and keep it. Thanks for your comment extremely helpful.
@@mike89box I LOVE the charge 4!!! I blast it full volume at in our large areas at church during clean up and set up and it's incredible! Beautiful sound. Loud. Clear. Not way of telling it's actually that small. Like I said it's incredible. Charge it once every few weeks. It's got aux input so sometimes I use it as the desktop speaker. It's faultless, to me. + It's beautiful. I like the charge 5 also for the same reasons, but it doesn't have the aux input , which makes no sense!!! I hope you got a good deal on the 4, because the prices on that actually went UP, not down.
You should get one if you need partyboost
The charge 4’s bass sucks. I really hope the 5’s is better.
@@jin6000 well the problem of the charge 4 is that in some songs won’t receive that bass response of some songs and there’s other songs that do receive the a good bass response the reason for that is because it don’t have the tweeter and the woofer separated they are just mixed up and eventually the bass and vocals will mix up and will not create that amount of bass and in the charge 5 now the woofer is separated and the tweeter is separate and thanks to that the bass will respond better and won’t mix up and fu@k up the song’s bass
Does sound test means cracking an egg on it ?
Great review
Why does it eventually sink? Does water get inside it?
Hopefully ut doesnt turn itself off ALL the time like my charge 4! My charge 4 just goes out at random regardless off batterylevel, but much more often when close to full charge. Like maybe 10 times in and hour. Tried reset etc, so if the charge 5 has these issues ill be furiuos. But i think BT 5.1 will have solved it.
I have had the JBL charge the orginal one from 2013 just Die on me and now looking into a new speaker and holy shit this will be one hell of an upgrade from the first one.
Now that JBL Charge 5 doesn't have the auxiliary Port but my JBL Xtreme 3 still has the AUX port best $350 USD I ever spent
I noticed a high beep when charing it, am I the only one or is this normal?
The upgrade to charge 5 it's worth it because it's like having a little extreme 3 bass is strong and portable plus I got silicone case to charge 5 so won't get any scratches when dropping on the floor.
Love the new look ,not to crazy about the strips on bottom, hope they won't come off.
One of mine have come off and I've only had it for a few months
I used it for 1 day. And the outer most line already peeled off 🤣
Is it true that the charge 5 has reliability issues and the woofer can be blown out even without LFM? Ive heard a couple people mention it and if it's true ill just get a flip 5.
no and new charge 5 dont have LFM
i have charge 5 i try lfm on it and it does not work
i dont speak english
There’s no such thing as LFM. That’s a debug mode that disables the DSP. As a result, the limiters are lifted and the woofer is left on its own, out of control. This is information that should not be spread.
The Charge 5 now also has EQ functionality
Whaaat??? It doesn't have AUX PORT?? then what about Electromagnetic Interference???
Looking at buying the charge 5, had a charge 4 for a year but 1. It lasts nowhere near 20 hours, lucky if I get 8 hours on full volume. It also takes hours to charge up, looses connection a lot at work. Hopefully the 5 performs better.
The tests are on half volume 😑
looks great but Partyboost replacing Connect+ is a huge turn off. Me and my friends have Charge 3s, 4s, Extreme 2 and Boombox - they all play along nicely when we get together. A friend bought a Flip 5 only to discover she can't jam with us. Really sucks to disrupt the backwards compatibility while not bringing anything to the table...
Adds another 40 yards
Maybe better because my 2 xtreme 2's have alot of problems with connect+ cant even have them 5 meters apart or they will distort
What's is better between JBL Flip 6 vs JBL Charge 4..? In my Country, the price of Flip 6 and Charge 4 is similiar. Charge 5 costs a lot more than the two..
Please give me advice.. :)
Im happy that i have the charge 4, because of the audio port, i realy need it for listening to the radio, my smartphone radio app only works with an audio cable in it but it can't be doing that while being connected with bluetooth. So i plug it in the 2 devices to let it work
Does it come with the charging cord?
Yes it does
Ok I am sold....was going to get the Charge 4 at Costco, but might as well spend a few more $$ for the 5!
Curious, could you pair a UE Boom to this?
So, does that mean you can’t pair the charge 4 with a charge 5?
Yep
Is there a way to use this speaker as a sound bar?
I bought a Bluetooth transmitter. Im gonna find out.
Success! I used an Avantree Oasis Plus bluetooth transmitter with the optic audio cord.
the thing i dont get is why not make it retrocompatible?
Yeh, I'm not sure why
Because they want more of your money
The picture at 5:22 was of a flip 5, not a charge 4.
I noticed this as well the charge 4 doesn't have the new passive radiator design so I knew for sure it wasn't a charge 4.
Do the Charge 3 and Charge 5 connect together?
Unfortunately not 😣
@@WhatGear i see. I can't purchase this then.
Can’t sand still get in the exposed usb c port?
Could probably get it out easy
It can, but its a round shape so it cant get stuck. just wash it out.
@@Kayshots Water in the port isn't an issue? It's waterproof i guess so must be, just curious from experience 👍
Yes it sure can 😢
Dang... someone really had to go at 2:22! 🤣 Just kidding...thanks for the comparison!
I wish I bought the green one, it looks so sleek
Wow! I just learned something... I'm going to try waterproofing all my speakers more with slimy egg yolks. 🤣😜
Lol don't do it...I'm still trying to get the slime out
Will it still connect to the charge 4??
No
No
i didn’t know what JBL stood for before, funny i like this brand and one of my all time favorites has always been altec lansing lol which is buy the same dude
CAN SOMEONE JUST TELL ME WHY I CAN CONNECT BOTH CHARGE 4 AND 5 BUT THE WON'T BOTH PLAY SOUND!?!?! JESUS IDC ABOUT THE DIFFERENCES I ALREADY OWN BOTH OF THEM!!!
hello everyone guys i need your help which one better charge 4 or 5 thank you
Charge 5 the best.Bass everything
The 5 🔥
*_Difference is the audio jack...which the Charge 5 doesn't have._*
That egg test is just disgusting
It hurts my eyes
Great speaker when connected with another one
I had my Charge 4
And it's worth lasting
Bruhhh there’s not much of a difference for me 🤣🤣 im good with my charge 4! Love it every time i turn it on
Charge 5 with no jack is a downgrade
@@nostraware stop living in the 70's
Yo pase de la 4 a la 5 y no hay diferencia al escucharla
Pero con la actualización al conectarla mmmm cambia bastante el bajo se escucha la diferencia
@@magdielmoranchel8108 no
The charge 4 is a downgrade from the 3
So my old JBLs can’t pair up? Guess I’ll have to sell!!
They can if they’re connect plus or connect chest those two can’t connect with each other and they can’t connect with party boost
might be worth investing in a better way to demonstrate the sound quality when doing the play test
Any recommendations?
@@WhatGear the first thing in my opinion would be to set up a small, acoustically treated area for the sound tests, as the room acoustics can play a big role in the recording quality (every engineer's worst nightmare is trying to listen to lows & general levels in an untreated space). binaural mic setups would probably be ideal for what you're hoping to accomplish, just need to prioritize a mic setup that has good low-end and no mid boost (more flat). You could also recreate the binaural products on the market with two mics of your own choosing mixed in stereo, which would give you more flexibility on the type of signal you want. Not sure if dynamic or condenser mics would work better in this application, though if the space is treated, i'd lean more towards a flat condenser mic.
@@WhatGear you definitely want the recording to be in stereo though, so whatever way of achieving that works best for you is the way to go imo
On the front grate if you stare at it for a minute you see digital numbers counting up or down
Jesus you must be on something better than the 8
I like the new look that large jbl Logo is eye catching I think it's time for me to upgrade from the charge 3😀
Such a great review but lost me on the egg sound test
Was an analogy for does it hit hard….
Water prove but i will never try it with my speaker 😱🤣🤣
I literally take it with me on my surfboard to glide on my favorite music haha. It has been swimming with me in the water many times. But that is with the Charge 3, I cant speak for the 5
Right lol cost too much money for that
I use the Charge 4 in the shower as I paid $100+ for it, it better do what it says 😅! Even dropped it in a pool one time and it just floated blasting music which was super cool to see. Technology!
Why do you need an aux jack???
Some people might want to plug in an iPod or a gramophone or something 😉
Yep, i plug my guitar in.....makes a great little practice amp.
Ok so I was looking for a quality portable speaker..
I was looking at the 5 & 4..
I bought the Charge 4
On Amazon it was $80 at the time I bought it while the Charge 5 was $180.
I was already familiar with the Charge 4 and enjoyed it. It filled a room with sound effortlessly. I'm sure the Charge 5 is a nice upgrade. But the Charge 4 really does sound great. And at $80 it really is a great buy.. I'm probably going to pick up 1 more.
I'll buy a Charge 5 when they release the Charge 6 haha.
The lack of backwards compatibility is annoying
If you are in the market and watching vids like this which are great comparison videos,
If you want the newest and greatest and don't mind spending to get it, get the 5..
But if you just want a great speaker that you don’t mind getting knocked around, the Charge 4 really sounds great and is only $80.. so even if you did break it by chance, replacing an $80 speaker is easier to swallow than $180 or more.
flip6もやって欲しいです
No aux is a killer for me.
Is it mono?
Yes,a single charge is mono.
Maybe the JBL Charge 5 sounds good, BUT ... It is not compatible with the others speakers from JBL, which you may already have. This means, for example, you can't connect the Charge 5 to an existing Xtreme 2 (in my case), which I bought last year. Connecting the speakers would be a big feature for outdoors parties. But the newest speakers have the Partyboost system, older speakers have Connect+ (1 or 2 years old) or Connect. These are three different systems, which are not compatible.
Knowing this let me look at other speaker brands where the connectivity works from the older to the newest speakers. My first JBL speaker was the Charge 3 (with Connect) which I bought in 2016, but there is a problem with sound quality because one speaker sounds bad after 3 years. Then the Xtreme 2 was my favourite. I now want to add a smaller speaker with less weight for the situations, where the Xtreme 2 is too bulky and heavy. Not sure what to do, but I am not buying the Charge 5 now and also the Xtreme 3. Sorry JBL, but I am not satisfied.
That sounds like jester. Disinformation
venom is awesome!
I just got mine and u now what??? Is the best charge 4 is really good but u want the next generation just get the charge 5
Love jbl❤
You know they belong to Harman right?
Yes
and harman belongs to samsung if im not mistaken
@@PackardKotch Right. Harman owns Harman Kardon, Jbl, AKG.. And harman is owned by Samsung.
@@Kayshots yeah, that’s kinda sad. AKG go basically murdered during this transition
We had a 1st gen Echo in our master bathroom for listening to music in the morning ruclips.net/user/postUgkxABghAEkaIDGZfHRBH3D3rBrlraNmnC71 and while in the shower. I didn't realize how tinny and awful the sound output on the original Echo was until we replaced it with the Studio. It was a sonic upgrade far beyond what I was expecting. Just wow. I love it because it's like having speakers IN the shower. My friend likes it because the music is so loud that she can no longer hear me singing. So that's a win-win.
I’m still rocking charge 3, xtreme 1, boombox 1 I feel like these are the best designs they’ve had.
IMO the Charge 3 is supreme.. I sometimes watch movies on it with my note phone in front of it, and the stereo speakers with the bass really give that miniature cinema feel..
I listen this review with mij charge 3 😁
All these features does not encourage me to upgrade plus i already own Charge 4 because of its aux jack and it is removed from the 5 so i will remain on my speaker.
can jbl charge 5 connect to charge 4????
no
No
😍
My 1st JBL is fucking insane superb 🔥🔥🔥 its the JBL CHARGE 5 👌👌👌
Got a brand new unit at $116 good buy and upgrade from charge 4.
where did you get it from
@@ryansaindon3164 Philippines, Lazada
Jbl Charge 4 is a lot better for the price IMO. Has a great battery, aux and you can charge your phone off the speaker, I never have to charge this speaker in one day and it lasts almost a week, "I crank it up for 2 hours a day at least" so thats pretty good, the Charge 5 is not worth upgrading to IMO, they added a tweeter so it really doesn't sound much diffeent IMO and I compete in audio, we all have diffrent opinions but if you want just get a Charge 4 and spend the extra $70 on a case for the speaker or maybe keep that $70 in case the charger breaks and all.
Nothing like having a little Salmonella on your Charge 5, lol 😆
Lol yes definitely don't do what I did.
🤲🙏Jc
removing the aux jack is a dealbreaker, gonna get the Charge 4 instead.
Well you better hope you don't want anything new from now on because expecting an aux jack on any bluetooth speaker that's below $200.00 is a battle you'll lose over and over again...
Good luck, charge 4 is trash
@@fromthe6ix166 agreed Charge 5 is hands down best Bluetooth speaker I’ve ever seen for the money I doubt they will make something as good of quality again…
@@fromthe6ix166 I have both now, there both great speakers…
@@fromthe6ix166 Charge 4 is pretty good. I have one. Not as great as some others but not trash. And the aux port not being there is a deal breaker for me too. Wired is always going to be better quality than bluetooth and some people connect other things besides phones. I want to be able to connect my old iPods, record players, CD players and Walkmans to any device whose sole purpose is to play music. Also, many phones that have headphone jacks have FM tuners built in that need to be connected via auxiliary cable since the aux acts as the antenna. With TuneIn and other radio streaming services removing channels left and right, it's nice to be able to use a smartphone as a radio without needing internet or subscriptions. I can't see buying a piece of audio equipment that doesn't have both new skool and old skool functionality.
OK..WHERE IS THE CHARGE 4??
Charge 4 in my region was 80 less than the 5 so I went with the 4
Bought the charge 5 and the open charge port got fouled with sand at the beach then it couldn't be charged afterword after cleaning ...Pretty bad considering its supposed to be dustproof and yet sand can fall or blow into the uncovered port ..Found the charge 4 which I shoulda got to begin with plus it has the aux port and everything is completely covered and protected under a real sealed waterproof and dustproof flap.. I think the 4 sounds better without that 10 cent screechy tweeter that jbl uses to fool people into upgrading to the inferior charge 5..The Cheap tweeter on 5 sounded like it was maybe a quarter watt.. Very happy I got the charge 4 before they were gone ,as i had to drive around a bit to find one .
Could care less about fancy badging and "cool" logos, flashing lights like on the pulse. Why can't a company produce a great product w/o useless fluff? That money on badging is money that could got into a slightly bigger battery, better components, etc... At least this is still one of the best ones out there. As good or better than Bose at half the cost. JBL speakers are still some of the best bang for the buck wireless speakers.
Real world battery life not the greatest. Playing at high volumes your lucky to get 5hrs
the new logo makes me don't want to buy it... it really changed the design
McFly, you bojo!
Big LOGO = SELF SELF CONFIDENCE
The battery life sucks and it dies while playing plugged in??? WTF 😒
The charge 5 you pertaining to?
@@numerouno7874 yes all the newer speakers do
