Our take on the JBL Go 5 Ultra-Portable Bluetooth Speaker

The JBL Go 5 is a palm-sized Bluetooth speaker built for carrying around. It keeps the Go line's simple formula: one driver, a rubberized shell, and an IP68 rating for dust and water. It suits commuters, students and travelers who want sound in a bag or pocket without fuss. Against rivals like the Sony SRS-XB100 and Anker Soundcore Mini, it trades deep bass and extra features for a rugged, pocketable build and the JBL name.

Questions and answers

Is the JBL Go 5 waterproof?
Yes. It carries an IP68 rating, so it is dust-tight and can be submerged in water briefly. It is fine for showers, pools and rain.
How does it compare with the JBL Go 4?
The Go 5 keeps the same pocketable format and IP68 protection. The main differences are cosmetic and in the Bluetooth version, so owners of a Go 4 have little reason to upgrade.
Does it have a speakerphone?
No. The Go 5 is a music speaker only, with no built-in microphone for calls.
Can I pair two Go 5 speakers together?
JBL's Auracast and multi-speaker pairing support varies by model and firmware. Check the JBL Portable app for your unit before relying on stereo pairing.
What is in the box?
The speaker, a USB-C charging cable and quick-start documentation. A charging adapter is not included.
How long does the battery last?
JBL rates playtime at up to a full day of casual listening at moderate volume. Expect less at high volume.
Where is the JBL Go 5 Ultra-Portable Bluetooth Speaker cheapest?
At Best Buy, for $54.95, as of our latest check.
