Clearer and more detailed sound, Wider soundstage, Updated dustproofing,
Nothing at this level,
The Charge 5 is currently as good a sound as you can get in a portable Bluetooth speaker design for under £200 ($200, AU$300). It boasts marginal improvements, both sonically and aesthetically, over its predecessor, the five-star Charge 4. One day JBL may...

Abstract: There's a seemingly endless supply of portable Bluetooth speakers out there, most of which will work just fine after being stowed in your luggage and pulled out for use in your hotel room. But perhaps you're looking for something to take on your next camp...

Un gran diseño, Calidad de sonido premium, Mejoras respecto a modelos anteriores, Fácil de emplazar y transportar, Gran variedad de colores
Misma batería que el JBL Charge 4, Ausencia de conexión por minijack
Published: 2021-06-23, Author: Chris , review by: pcworld.es
Excelente calidad de sonido, Diseño duradero, Batería externa
App muy básica
Puede que no tenga características inteligentes, pero si quieres un altavoz Bluetooth duradero y potente para una serie de situaciones que irá felizmente a cualquier parte contigo, entonces el JBL Charge 5 es una gran opción.JBL no ha cambiado mucho la fó...
Robustesse et certification IP67, Facilité d'utilisation, Bonne autonomie, Qualité audio en progression
Pas de microphone donc pas de fonction kit mains libres
Si ce nouveau modèle perd sa prise auxiliaire, elle gagne en reproduction sonore avec un rendu très équilibré et avec une scène sonore assure large et une portée satisfaisante ce qui permet, selon nous, de largement compenser. On peut lui reprocher de ne...
Son puissant et articulé, Signature sonore équilibrée, Bi-amplification et tweeter de qualité, Excellente autonomie, Solide et étanche, Égaliseur disponible après mise à jour, Son puissant et articulé, Signature sonore équilibrée, Bi-amplification et twee
Pas d'appels possibles faute de microphone
Puissante, précise, endurante, audible au milieu du brouhaha d'une plage bondée, la JBL Charge 5 s'impose comme une référence incontournable dans la catégorie des enceintes à emmener en promenade.Solide, bien finie, agréable à utiliser, ses atouts ne manq...
Sonorité transparente, riche, Excellente clarté, même à fort volume, Grande ampleur spectrale du rendu sonore, Autonomie généreuse, fonction "powerbank", Construction robuste, certification IP67, Connectivité Bluetooth multipoint
Légère perte de précision dans l'extrême grave, Émission sonore très directive, Aucune connectique audio filaire, Commandes incomplètes (pas de retour à la piste précédente)
Il ne manquait qu'un peu de musicalité à la JBL Charge 4 pour proposer un tout réellement convaincant, et c'est exactement ce que la Charge 5 s'est attachée à réparer. On conseille toutefois de la mettre en concurrence avec la SRS-XB33 de Sony; certes un...
