Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

Light show has an edit feature in the jbl app where you can add or remove effects that you like/dislike. The lighting options are nice and can be customized to your liking.

For such a small package, the speaker packs a big bass punch. High pitched and low pitched parts are both good. The sound is brilliantly crisp and clear, even at max volume.

The jbl portable app is a nice addition to the speaker. The lack of manual controls can be tamed with the eq in the app.

While i don't consider myself much of an audiophile, i have noticed a few things about this it gets very loud without getting distorted or muffled. This produces louder volume than the flip 6 - but as far as sound quality they are similar. It is a top... Read More

One of the standout features of the jbl pulse 5 is its dazzling lights display. It has an upfiring-driver and a bottom passive radiator. With its sleek and compact design, it is the perfect companion for those who are always on the go.

Cons

While waterproof with a decent battery it has a glossy plastic shell. This really isn't an outdoorsy speaker. The less costly charge is far more versatile and cheaper if you want to stay with jbl with the same power and similar driver configuration.

Quality

Excellent quality and phenomenal sound from such a small unit

Wonderful and amazing sound quality; includes the full spectrum with a lot of power.

The plastic surround is made of high quality plastic that feels like glass.

This speaker feels heavy and solid like a brick!

Price

For the price point, i think it has all the features you're going to need, and have been enjoying it so far.

What an amazing deal for black friday.

I’ve been wanting to buy the pulse 5 for so long but i couldn’t pay $250 for it.

It's a pricey speaker but you are getting what you pay for.

Shipping

Ours came almost fully charged on arrival.

Otherwise you might have to ship it through postal service like i did!

Packaging/appearance

We highly recommend you get a carrying case for them to protect their beautiful pristine look.

It’s literally the “light” of the party 😆 the kiddos love it along with the adults.

I took it out of the box and turned it on not expecting a charge but it was charged.

It was important that it come with some kind of protective cover, but it came with a nothing but packing material.

Competitiveness

Disclaimer: we are fans of jbl products and have purchased the party box and wireless earbuds in the past and find that the bat... Read More

They actually have audio specs available, which is nice, so for those who look at these things it is easy to make some quick comparisons.

It is very good, but at this price point it has some stiff competition, and from a pure audio perspective, i think is not quite... Read More

Overall, the pulse 5 makes a very good choice for a bluetooth speaker in its cost and size range with its crystal clear mids and highs.
