Our take on the JBL Go 5 Portable Bluetooth Speaker

The JBL Go 5 is the fifth generation of JBL's smallest portable speaker, a palm-sized block that clips to a bag and survives dust and full water immersion with IP67 and IP68 ratings. It adds Bluetooth 6.0 and a built-in microphone for calls, and JBL rates the battery at 10 hours. It suits people who want a cheap, tough pocket speaker for showers, picnics and travel. Against the JBL Go 4 it is a modest step up in connectivity and water protection rather than a big jump in sound, and small rivals like the Tribit StormBox Micro and Sony SRS-XB100 offer comparable output with their own trade-offs.

Questions and answers

Is the JBL Go 5 worth it over the Go 4?
If you want Bluetooth 6.0, a microphone and the higher IP68 rating, the Go 5 is the better pick. If you already own a Go 4 and only need basic playback, the difference in sound is small.
Can the JBL Go 5 be submerged in water?
Yes. It carries IP67 and IP68 ratings, so it handles dust and brief immersion. JBL still advises drying the port cover before charging.
How long does the battery last?
JBL rates it at 10 hours. Real-world use at high volume usually lands a bit lower.
Does it have a microphone for calls?
Yes. The built-in microphone lets you take calls as a speakerphone, which the Go 4 lacked.
Can I pair two Go 5 speakers together?
JBL supports its Auracast and multi-speaker pairing features on recent models, but stereo pairing with a second Go 5 depends on firmware and region. Check the JBL app before relying on it.
What comes in the box?
The speaker, a USB-C charging cable and quick-start documentation. A charger is not included.
Where is the JBL Go 5 Portable Bluetooth Speaker cheapest?
At Lowe's, for $43.99, 20% under what the other stores charge, as of our latest check.
Where can I buy the JBL Go 5 Portable Bluetooth Speaker?
9 stores we checked sell it, including Lowe's, TED'S Electronics, Newegg, Best Buy, Abt Electronics.
