Bold, Impressive Audio

Housing an optimised long-excursion driver, separate tweeter and dual JBL bass radiators, the Charge 5 will more than power your beach trip, camping holiday or gathering. A step up from the award-winning Flip 5, the Charge 5 will offer more bass and a wider, more separated soundstage making it better suited for larger spaces.

In comparison to the Charge 4, the new 5th Generation has an increased woofer size and additional tweeter to boost the sound you hear and make your listening experience even better than before.

Bluetooth 5.1 and JBL Party Boost

Powerful Bluetooth 5.1 integration offers an impressive 40m approx. of connectivity, meaning you won't be left short without connection when taking the Charge 5 out on your next adventure. Pairing is quick and doesn’t suffer from faults, so you won’t miss a minute of your favourite tunes and audio content.

The JBL Party Boost feature can be enabled to stereo pair two Charge 5s for a more impactful, separated sound stage. This feature can be further utilised to link up to 100 Party Boost enabled speakers in a group, a neat touch if you and a friend want to pair your speakers up for a party or gathering.

Built-In Powerbank and Long Battery Life

The Charge 5 features a USB-A charging port allowing you to plug in and charge your devices on the go. In our mind, this makes the Charge 5 a perfect camping or travelling speaker, as you can quickly charge up your phone without needing to pack a separate charging brick.

20 hours of playback time from a single charge further safeguards you on your adventures, as you won’t need to worry about the music stopping. The USB-C charging port will allow you to charge up the speaker easily, and an LED power indicator is inbuilt to tip you off when the battery is getting low.

IP67 Dust and Waterproof Design

At just 960g in weight, the Charge 5 can easily be tucked away in a rucksack or taken away with you. Available in a range of bold colours, the Charge 5 will surely make a statement and stand out from other, more subdued, portable speaker options out there.

The IP67 water rating means the Charge 5 can survive being submerged for up to 30 minutes in a meter of water, so you won’t need to worry about using this speaker on the side of the pool or by the sea. It’s also protected against dust exposure, perfect for a day at the beach!
