Pros

I am not an audiophile, but imho it's the best sound i have ever heard. The sound quality from the charger 5 is amazingly clear and loud.

Small enough to be portable and gets loud enough when you need it. If you are traveling, it is a pleasure to turn it on after a long day of walking and sightseeing. The battery life is pretty great too.

Jbl charge 5 is an outstanding sounding speaker with the best of both worlds. Beats my 380 watt sound system in everything except loudness. Bass and clarity is the most impressive i've had.

It’s way more than i needed for the bathroom. Nice clarity. Very good. Under no circumstances.



Cons

From a full charge, the change light starts blinking red. This is a mono speaker, it is not stereo. You tend to push the volume high to compensate for the lack of spaciousness, but all you get is bigger monotone.

Maybe half the price is respectable. Feel ripped off. Seriously very disappointed.

Packaging/appearance


The power charger never worked from right out of the box.


Came charged so it was ready to go out of the box.

Competitiveness


If you want a bigger better sound i'm sure the extreme and i know the boombox sounds great, but at those prices i can't justify...  Read More


Well it has no competition on the bass.
