JBL SPEAKER CHARGER FULL

Even at full price, I donвЂ™t think anyone will be disappointed in the Charge 5. JBLвЂ™s original design had only rear-mounted inbound power and aux-in 3.5mm audio ports, but Charge adds the outbound USB port to enable you to recharge an iPhone or iPod from the speakerвЂ™s integrated batteryassuming you self-supply a charging cable, and leave the speaker turned on. I still think itвЂ™s priced just a little too high, and PartyBoost has only continued to confuse me since venturing back out into society. Your JBL Go 2 speaker keeps turning off because of low battery, damaged charging cable or charging port, corrupted charging logic, built-in protection. ChargeвЂ™s namesake changes from Flip are literally related to charging.

Overall, IвЂ™m quite pleased with JBLвЂ™s latest portable speaker. Still, it was frustrating to search my house for where I had placed the correct cable. The JBL Charge 5 speaker delivers bold JBL Original Pro Sound, with its optimized long excursion driver, separate tweeter and dual pumping JBL bass. Once I switched back to the cable included in the box, everything worked fine. I tried to use the USB-C charger bundled with the Nintendo Switch to power it up, but the battery indicator flashed on and off instead of delivering power to the unit. I also found a new annoyance with the Charge 5 I hadnвЂ™t expected: itвЂ™s really picky about what cable youвЂ™re using to charge. The guy hosting that cookout I went to a couple of weeks ago had an older JBL speaker of his own, but because it used either JBL Connect or Connect+ and not PartyBoost, they were incompatible with each other. However, I still find JBLвЂ™s fragmentation of its stereo sync feature frustrating.

You need fast charging from your power bank.

You are happy to spend big bucks on high-end audio gear.

You're looking for a great-sounding rugged speaker.

If it were a little cheaper, the Charge 5 would be a shoo-in for our Most Wanted award, so keep an eye out for sales. provided you can stomach the $180 price tag. As long as you aren't looking for skull-vibrating bass, JBL's Charge 5 is a winner. The built-in power bank is a great way to stay charged up while you're away from outlets, but the real highlight is just how much sound this rugged gadget is capable of producing. From camping to pool parties and everything in between, the Charge 5 has you covered. If you can put PartyBoost aside, this is a fantastic speaker. However, the PartyBoost fiasco is only a problem if you plan to pair multiple JBL speakers for stereo sound. It's a bummer that JBL has decided to reinvent PartyBoost for a third time, which makes you wonder if yet another incompatible revision is coming with the eventual Charge 6.

Yes, if you don't mind spending big on a Bluetooth speaker. Should you buy it? Rating 8/10 JBL Charge 5
