Waterproof, Wireless, and Ready to Go — Wherever You Go!

The JBL Charge 5 is the latest member of their popular Charge Series, and just like its predecessor, it's sure to win over numerous fans. The designers at JBL went to the drawing board to bring you an even more rugged, IP67-rated waterproof wireless Bluetooth speaker, making it ideal for those planned trips to the beach, the mountains, and even that inner tube float down a lazy or rapid-heavy river! The Charge 5 also features JBL's legendary PartyBoost that lets you connect it to other compatible JBL portable speakers to really bring the volume. With a racetrack-shaped driver, a separate tweeter, and dual passive radiators, the Charge 5 packs the kind of low-end punch and treble clarity for that perfect blend that will fill whatever indoor or outdoor space you occupy. And with 20 hours of playtime and a built-in powerbank, you never have to worry about running out of listening time — a feature the many wireless speaker users here at Sweetwater really appreciate!

JBL Charge 5 Features:

  • IP67-rated waterproof wireless Bluetooth speaker ideal to take anywhere on the go
  • PartyBoost allows you to connect it to other compatible JBL portable speakers for more volume
  • Racetrack-shaped driver, separate tweeter, and dual passive radiators facilitate low-end punch and treble clarity

JBL Charge 5, a really great speaker!

Bluetooth speakers are a dime a dozen, with many of them claiming much more than they really deliver.
But with the Charge 5, you really get what you pay for: a really flat speaker with phenomenal power to fill any room or rock a tailgate party.
If you are a musician, such as I am, or just someone who is looking for a really nice way to enjoy your music, well, this one's for you. It has more power than you could ever want, great battery life, accurate audio, and even a way to charge your phone if you are on the go. It easily has the volume for you to play along with your music, just for a great time.
For a great buy and a wonderful listening experience, you'd be hard pressed to do better. I am so glad I bought this product. I think you will be too.
Music background: Guitarist, electric and acoustic, for 50 years.

JBL for the win.

This wee baddie does the trick. I've yet to be disappointed by a JBL. I've got Eon 6 and 7 series PA speakers and now this little fella. Quick to figure out. Quick to hookup. Good sound. No complaints.
Rated 5/5

Good stuff.

Small size and big sound. Decent bass response without EQ fiddling. Don't forget to update the device at least once upon purchase. The boops and JBL signature sounds can be turned off if not your thing in the mobile app. Easy to use.
Rated 5/5

Great sounding

This little guy can fill a room with music, and it is waterproof! The sound is awesome too.
