BOSE SOUNDLINK FLEX VS JBL CHARGE 5! Review and unboxing.

Today I'm comparing the JBL CHARGE 5 (sound by Harman) with the BOSE Soundlink FLEX ! We review 3 main things:

1. The build quality.
2. The sound quality.
3. Portability.

Using these 3 factors that choice is VERY obvious for everyone's specific case!

If you have any questions let me know! Please do LIKE AND SUBSCRIBE it really helps a new channel like mine!

Thank you!

The Charge 5 now has an equalizer through the JBL app. Now you can turn that bass up even more!

The front of the Flex isn’t plastic. From Bose office site —> “To ensure further protection from water, dust, and debris, the transducer and passive radiators underneath the steel grille are built with rugged, waterproof materials and sealed tightly to the speaker’s housing.”

Jbl sound signature reminds me of kicker speakers, highs so bright it hurts and Tin can ish, I’ve tried many different brands but I always come back to 3
Sony, Bose and klipsh

Great video but I squirmed every time you pronounced “bass” like that 😂

The upper bass is louder on the Bose, but the JBL extends deeper. I have both. They are definitely different. Those “subwoofers” you are mentioning on the JBL are just metal membranes that vibrate under the pressure of the main driver on the front, and are tuned much like a bass reflex port. The reason why they use them is because it is essentially a sealed box that acts like a ported one, so it can be waterproof.

Dang, this is a tough one. Honestly, I feel like the Bose is better. In my personal experience, the Bose just has a beautiful, crystal clear and rich sound. I’ve never heard a speaker (especially of that size) with such a beautiful sound to it. The vocals are crystal clear and the bass is punchy but not overpowering. It’s so perfectly balanced.

The JBL is louder and maybe has more bass, but I don’t think it has that magical warmth and richness of the Bose. It’s more a mainstream speaker that gets loud and thumps but that’s about it whereas the Bose Flex has a beautiful sound.

That’s just my opinion though :) I’ve had JBL’s before, but the Bose Flex has been my favorite and most impressive speaker yet.

Bose you can listen long hours where as JBL gives a headache after few hrs that’s my review after using both for a year

Love the way the charge 5 sounds. Perfect for my day to day use👌

Bass=base. I have both also and I agree with your assessment.

[gaborkovacs]

you compare a with water filled speaker with a dry one? how professional 🙈🙈🙈👍 i want the Bose!

[juliusssali]

since we have frequent power outages in our country and I keep traveling, it will definitely be of help in many ways. Thank you.

I have a Charge 5 (the extreme 3's little brother) I find the biggest takeaway is lack of the aux port meaning I cant wire it to my phone or other device for playing games since using Bluetooth without at least aptx built in the latency is way to high however I know usb audio is possible on the device and with the ability to push firmware updates I know my chance is next to 0% but I just hope someone at JBL sees one of my comments and adds a Toggle in there app for audio over usb!

great video, i wasn‘t sure which one to pick, now i will buy myself the charge 5

[kristoffaninkama]

You have been drenching the Bose speaker in a jar of water from the beginning and yet you didn't give Bose the due credit for making a totally water proof speaker? That would be the the greatest selling point for Bose and for your comparison and you missed the point.

I'm a bass person and I'm always a big fan of jbl speakers! I'm from a jbl xtreme 2 and I'm thinking of painting 2 charge 5 so that way it could possibly sound like the xtreme 3

[robinphillips]

The front grill on the Bose Soundlink Flex is actually powder coated steel, not plastic. Do more research.

[djijspeakerguy]

That “plastic” is actually metal at 3:06. Everyone seems to think it’s plastic, and that it isn’t durable, but that isn’t the case.

[AkhilThandavan]

Made me crave Sea Bass every time you said bass. I am going fishing with my Bose Flex like you said. 😂

[LC-xdzy]

[TheAscendedTechNinja]

I cringed every time you said bass🎣 but I liked how you listen to your audience and made this video within 3 days but keep up the work💪
