Charge 5 Portable Wireless Wi-Fi Speaker

I bought two of these to set up in stereo. Listen mainly to internet radio jazz wifi, and vinyl, streamed via an a2d2 unit, at no more than medium volume. Great sound stage, lovely detail. I pick them up and move them around - bedroom, kitchen, lounge etc. Listening to far more high quality music these days, which is great.One quibble for jazz heads: sometimes the speakers have trouble correctly processing the double bass in classic recordings - bass on usually A string (or sometimes E) will jump out and boom. You can mostly correct this by either moving speakers more into the centre (of a larger) room, or via the custom eq on the app, bringing the <125 db slider right down and boosting the 250 as high as it will go, but not always.Also note, in stereo the main speaker will run down battery faster than the other one. It's easy enough to 'undo' the stereo function and switch main speaker, but you lose any customised eq settings in the process

Had an 8 year old magaboom that was past it's best. The sound this thing puts out is pretty incredible. Went wifi for streaming so i don't walk off and the party stops. It's a bit sharper sounding over wifi also as echoed in some notable reviews. Really happy for the money - sonos was other option at 3 x price or something and less portable. I have a wired system for home so this is ideal for garden and days out. More than ideal with powerbank function also! (Just hope battery stays solid for a good few years)Feel like buying another to sit on for a spare!

I was impressed by the sound from a single Charge 5 WiFi, so I bought a second unit to improve the stereo effect. The result is outstanding. The sound compares favourably with my pair of KEF LSX’s + subwoofer costing many times more. Setting up the speakers as a stereo pair is simple using the app. They make a few beeps at each other to optimise the sound for the room. The result, as already stated, is magic.

Thank you Amazon!! The product is GREAT!!!

Exactly as expected 👏 👌

The speaker is great but I bought this as a second unit but the sound isn’t as immersive. I have one so I’m ok with mono audio 🙂

I am very happy with the speaker. JBL product quality doesn't really need explanation. After experimenting with many cheap and expensive brands, I don't think I would ever buy any portable speaker other than JBL. By now, I have 3 Flips and an older Charge, all working flawless for years. This new Charge 5 Wi-fi sounds amazing and battery lasts a week playing low volume background music over home WiFi some 8-10 hrs per day.I do have to say that I struggled with the WiFi connection via the JBL ONE app. After hours searching in the JBL website and my internet provider for support, double and triple resetting speaker, router and phone several times and in ridiculous sequences suggested, I kept on receiving "We are unable to connect your product to Wi-Fi, TRY AGAIN". At some point out of frustration I regretted the purchase, (knowing I was trading the reliable 3.5MM audio jack connector for the new WiFi option).Fortunately, after countless hours on the internet searching for alternative troubleshooting info, St. Google led me to some nerds' forum which I can't even find again (but God bless their dedication), suggesting also to try the process with another phone. The thing is that the "other phone" available was my wife's, which is exactly the same model I have (Samsung S22), so I really didn't believe in the suggestion, but I tried the last resort anyway.Surprisingly, with the 2nd phone, the speaker connected literally in seconds to our home WiFi. Not only that, immediately then my "broken" phone also showed the speaker in JBL app like if nothing wrong ever happened. To date, I have no idea what caused the problem, but the speaker has been working flawless over home Wi-Fi and controlled by either phone irrespective, plus another older phone that we keep as remote.I understand that Wi-Fi is a relatively new venture for JBL as well, so I believe sharing this experience might help others in case they stumble upon the same "problem" which might not even be JBL's fault. However, JBL still needs to improve their troubleshooting support. If it wasn't because of that nerds forum, I would have returned the speaker, not knowing it was not even a speaker problem.Cheers.

Output sound is dynamic, loud and clear separation between vocals and background music. A plus using it to pair via WiFi network with my Google home speaker., sounds powerful. Like it.

I recently purchased the JBL Charge 5 Wi-Fi in black, and I couldn't be happier with my decision. The sound quality is phenomenal, with deep bass that makes music truly come alive. It easily fills the room with crisp, rich sound, whether I'm listening to music or watching a movie.The added Wi-Fi feature is a game-changer—I can play music seamlessly even while attending a call on my phone without any interruptions. It's incredibly convenient and feels like a premium feature.Another standout is the battery life. It lasts for hours on a single charge, which is perfect for long listening sessions or outdoor use. Plus, the durable build and sleek design make it portable and stylish.Overall, this speaker offers incredible value for money with its blend of sound quality, features, and battery performance. Highly recommend it for anyone looking for a versatile portable speaker!
