The JBL Charge 5 is a cylindrical portable Bluetooth speaker with a 40 W output, a separate tweeter, a long-excursion woofer and dual passive bass radiators. It is IP67 dustproof and waterproof, runs up to 20 hours per charge, and doubles as a power bank to top up a phone. It has no Wi-Fi, no app control and no microphone, so it is a straightforward speaker rather than a smart one. Owners rate it highly for loud, bass-forward sound and rugged build; the main complaints are its size and weight for a backpack and the lack of an app or EQ.

Reviewers and owners consistently praise the Charge 5 for loud, bass-heavy sound, sturdy waterproof construction and long battery life. Complaints focus on its bulk, the absence of an app or EQ, and bass that can muddy the mids at high volume.
