JBL Charge 5 Bluetooth Speaker – Portable Speaker with Power Bank Charging

Name: JBL Charge 5 Bluetooth Speaker – Portable Speaker with Power Bank Charging
Brand: JBL

JBL · Audio & Headphones

The Charge 5 is the point in JBL's portable range where the speaker stops being a personal item and starts being the sound system for a room, a beach or a back garden. Its defining trick is the USB output: the same battery that runs the speaker can put charge back into a phone, which is genuinely useful on a festival site.

Pick it over the Flip 6 if you want more volume and a phone-charging safety net and you do not mind the extra bulk. Pick the Flip 6 instead if it will be carried every day.
