The JBL Charge 5 delivers good sound, vocals are clear, and the bass is impressive. There is no Wi-Fi connectivity and no microphone, so you can’t use it as a speakerphone to receive calls or to use a voice assistant. You can use Charge 5 for charging the phone while it plays music. Below the large JBL logo, there is a battery indicator. The battery is 7500 mAh, with estimated 20 hours of playback from a single charge. There is no 3.5 mm aux connection present in the previous generations. There is a covered USB-A port (for charging mobile phones) and an uncovered USB-C port for charging the speaker on the back panel.

It supports the SBC Bluetooth codec (not AAC or aptX). The speaker has Bluetooth 5.1, offering increased data transfer speed, more stable connection, and a better range. The power and the Bluetooth controls are separated in the center of the other buttons in a small cutout. There is no backward navigation function. If you tap twice the play/pause button, you will skip forward a track. There are buttons for PartyBoost, volume up and down, and play/pause on the speaker’s top, all blend in with the grille.

The Portable app doesn’t allow tweaking the EQ settings. With the JBL Portable app, you get support for the JBL Charge 5, like firmware updates, and deploy PartyBoost from the phone where other JBL speakers supporting the app will appear to link. So if you like to take advantage of the PartyBoost feature, you can use it with JBL’s Boombox 2, Xtreme 3, Pulse 4, and Flip 5. Unfortunately, the three platforms are not compatible with each other, so you can’t use Charge 4 (supports JBL Connect+) and Charge 5 (PartyBoost) to create stereo mode. PartyBoost has a more extended connection range and less latency than the previous JBL Connect and JBL Connect+. The Charge 5 is mono, and if you like stereo, you can pair two JBL Charge 5 speakers via the PartyBoost feature.
Under the grille, there is a single 20 mm tweeter (10 watts) and a 52 mm by 90 mm woofer (30 watts).

On the bottom, there are rubber strips to keep it stable on a table. The rubber end caps on both ends stick out from the speaker, so if you stand it vertically, the Charge 5 will lean to one side. The JBL Charge 5 has the same wire mesh recognizable for all JBL’s portable speakers that keep the internal parts safe. The first one you notice is the JBL logo, which is much bigger now.Īs far as the shape is concerned, Charge 5’s dimensions are 8.7 x 3.8 x 3.7 inches, the weight is 2.1 pounds, and come in six different colors (black, blue, camouflage, red, teal, and gray), which is in a way step back from Charge 4, which is available in twelve colors. The JBL Charge 5 has a significant redesign from the Charge 4.
