Today I checked out the JBL Charge 5 in hopes of it being the Flip 5 on steroids. However, I was a little disappointed in it's performance for sound quality. It doesn't sound quite a warm and shimmering. I compared it to the Bang & Olufsen A1 gen 2, Marshall Emberton, Flip 5, and the Bose Soundlink Flex. If you are reading this, stop.... go back up to the video and watch me sit and talk about the speakers in an endless pursuit of quality sound. :)

The songs here are as follows:
song 1 Pop Star - Audionautix
song 2 Every Voice - Jimmy Fontanez

Great video that was quick and super informative.
I have both of those jbl speakers and I agree with what you say. I’m happy I ended up buying the Charge 5, but overall I like my Flip 5 more.

lol This guy's so funny, loved the video subbed. The audio demo isn't precise though, as he's moving the speakers around pointing them in different places. None of them were represented well enough.

Video was great the charge 4 and 5 are good but the flip series is outstanding best bang for the buck love the flip 4, 5, and 6 better then the Charge series to my listening preferences. I will eventually get a Marshall Emberton.

Hi, I have 2 jbl flip 5 that I always use in stereo mode. Love the bass and the sound quality, but I'm thinking of upgrading them to a higher jbl speaker. Would you recomend selling them to buy the charge 5? Or it is a bad idea? Which speaker would you recommend? I want a louder speaker with an even better bass than the flip or equal bass but louder.

I like the comparisons and the info he gives on the features, so I an be informed before I buy the product.

In comparison to the Charge and Flip 5 though, in my opinion I think that the Charge 5 sounds vastly better. That's just me. The Flip to me has a thinner sound.

Danny, how bad is the Tronsmart Force Max???

[anvil]

My uncle has jbl boom box it got bass but there we have it, it doesn’t do much with highs and a little mids .
But they are real good for the sound they deliver in this cost. Can u please explain rest is this Marshall multiroom speaker system.

Hey Danny, , what about flip 6 vs charge 5 . I’m personally on the fence right now . I’m wanting to buy one of them but just can’t pull the trigger yet. I’m to undecided. Thanks Danny, I love your videos.

I have JBL speakers and my lineup today is the flip 5 for home use, clip 4 for hiking or work and the tune 215 for private listening 🎧, I think all 3 sound great and I have been using JBL products for the past 30 years, always liked their product line 🎉

[cameronwilliams]

I don’t have any speakers at all(other than the JBL clip) so as a first bt speaker do you think the charge 5 will be satisfactory? Just for listening around the house. Nothing wild.

[jordanking]

In comparison to the Bose Soundlink Flex, the Flex shockingly actually sounded louder than the Charge 5. I'm stunned at how good they sound for the size they are.

Whatever you are trying to say I love my flip 5 even more

[Indianpharaoh]

Flip speakers are awesome!
I HV one.

[josephmuganzi]

The Flip 5 is the best of them all in my opinion. Cheers👍🏾

[mironricardo]

I want to go to my JBL products, but I hate the idea of losing out on a better deal with another brand.

[soubhikmukherjee]

Is charge 5 better than soundlink flex?

[themarksmanABP]

Is the charge 5 louder than emberton??

[billdepalma]

JBL BOXES ARE AWESOME I buy them on eBay when I need a box for my speaker. When you partY connect 2JBLS EQ GOES TO FLAT SETTING. JBL IS JUST AN AWESOME SPEAKER FROM THE GO3 and up.

1stly, love your shirts :-)
2ndly, you can change some of the sound settings of the Charge 5 via the JBL app :-)
