Our take on the JBL CHARGE 5 Portable and Waterproof Bluetooth Speaker

The JBL Charge 5 is a portable Bluetooth speaker built around a long-excursion woofer, a separate tweeter and dual passive bass radiators, so it plays louder and with more bass than most speakers its size. JBL rates the battery at up to 20 hours and the IP67 rating means it survives dust, rain and a dunk in the pool. It also works as a power bank to top up a phone. It suits people who want one rugged speaker for the yard, beach or a party; the main trade-offs are its weight and the lack of a microphone or speakerphone.

Questions and answers

How does the Charge 5 compare with the Charge 4?
The Charge 5 adds a separate tweeter for clearer highs, an IP67 rating instead of IPX7, and a redesigned driver. Battery life and the power bank feature carry over.
Can I pair two Charge 5 speakers for stereo?
Yes. PartyBoost links two compatible speakers in stereo, or more for a larger setup. It works with other PartyBoost speakers, not with older JBL Connect+ models.
Is the Charge 5 really waterproof?
It carries an IP67 rating, so it is dust-tight and can be submerged in shallow water for a short time. The port cover must be sealed for that protection.
Does it have a microphone for calls?
No. The Charge 5 has no speakerphone, so calls stay on your phone.
What is in the box?
The speaker, a USB-C charging cable and a quick-start guide. A wall adapter is not included.
Can it charge my phone?
Yes. The USB port works as a power bank, so you can charge a phone from the speaker's battery.
Where is the JBL CHARGE 5 Portable and Waterproof Bluetooth Speaker cheapest?
At Simple Cell Bulk, for $95.00, as of our latest check.
