Our take on the JBL Charge5 Bluetooth Speaker

The JBL Charge 5 is a portable Bluetooth speaker with a long-excursion driver, a separate tweeter and dual passive bass radiators for a punchy, bass-forward sound. It runs up to 20 hours per charge, is IP67 waterproof and dustproof, and doubles as a powerbank to top up a phone. PartyBoost lets you pair it with other JBL PartyBoost speakers for bigger sound. It suits outdoor and travel use; rivals like the Bose SoundLink Flex and Sony SRS-XB33 compete on sound balance and ruggedness, while the Charge 5 is known for loud bass and long battery life.
