Với lời hứa về âm thanh tốt và thời lượng pin dài trong thiết kế chắc chắn nhưng vẫn di động, liệu Charge 5 có phải là chìa khóa để có âm thanh tuyệt vời khi ở ngoài trời? Chúng tôi đã mang nó lên núi để xem hiệu suất của nó như thế nào trong bài đánh giá JBL Charge 5 này.

Những điểm mới:

Bài đánh giá JBL Charge 5 này đã được cập nhật vào ngày 7 tháng 5 năm 2024 để trả lời thêm các câu hỏi thường gặp và thêm một phần […thêm nội dung phần này nếu có…].

Thiết kế và tính năng:

JBL Charge 5 sở hữu thiết kế hình trụ quen thuộc của dòng Charge, nhưng với chất liệu cao cấp hơn và được hoàn thiện tốt hơn. Vỏ loa được làm bằng chất liệu cao su cứng cáp, chống va đập, chống nước và chống bụi đạt chuẩn IP67, đảm bảo khả năng hoạt động ổn định trong điều kiện khắc nghiệt. Nút bấm được bố trí hợp lý và dễ sử dụng ngay cả khi tay ướt. Loa có dây đeo tiện lợi giúp dễ dàng mang theo khi di chuyển. Cổng sạc USB-C nằm ở một vị trí kín đáo giúp bảo vệ khỏi bụi và nước.

Chất lượng âm thanh:

JBL Charge 5 mang đến chất lượng âm thanh ấn tượng so với kích thước của nó. Âm bass sâu, mạnh mẽ và rõ ràng, không bị rè hay méo tiếng ngay cả ở mức âm lượng lớn. Âm trung và âm cao cân bằng, tạo nên tổng thể âm thanh sống động và chi tiết. Loa xử lý tốt nhiều thể loại nhạc khác nhau, từ nhạc Pop, Rock cho đến nhạc điện tử. Tuy nhiên, ở một số dải tần nhất định, người dùng khó tính có thể cảm thấy thiếu độ chi tiết hơn so với các mẫu loa cao cấp hơn.

Thời lượng pin:

Một điểm cộng lớn của JBL Charge 5 là thời lượng pin ấn tượng. Theo nhà sản xuất, loa có thể hoạt động liên tục lên đến 20 giờ với mức âm lượng vừa phải. Trong quá trình thử nghiệm, chúng tôi nhận thấy thời lượng pin này khá chính xác, thậm chí có thể cao hơn nếu sử dụng ở mức âm lượng thấp hơn. Tính năng sạc nhanh cũng là một điểm cộng, giúp người dùng tiết kiệm được thời gian. Khả năng sạc cho các thiết bị khác thông qua cổng USB cũng là một tính năng tiện dụng.

Kết nối:

JBL Charge 5 hỗ trợ kết nối Bluetooth 5.1, đảm bảo kết nối ổn định và phạm vi phủ sóng rộng. Quá trình kết nối nhanh chóng và dễ dàng. Loa cũng tương thích với hầu hết các thiết bị di động hiện nay.

Tổng kết:

JBL Charge 5 là một chiếc loa Bluetooth ngoài trời tuyệt vời, cân bằng giữa chất lượng âm thanh, thiết kế bền bỉ, thời lượng pin dài và khả năng di động. Với mức giá […thêm giá…], nó là một sự lựa chọn đáng giá cho những ai đang tìm kiếm một người bạn đồng hành âm nhạc lý tưởng cho các chuyến đi chơi, dã ngoại hay các hoạt động ngoài trời khác. Tuy nhiên, nếu bạn là người yêu cầu chất lượng âm thanh cực kỳ cao cấp, bạn có thể cần cân nhắc các lựa chọn khác có giá thành cao hơn.

If you’ve spent any time researching outdoor-ready Bluetooth speakers, you’ve most likely come across the JBL Charge 5. Promising decent sound and battery life encased in a rugged yet portable design, is the Charge 5 the key to great sound in the great outdoors? We take it to the mountains to see how it performs in this JBL Charge 5 review.

What’s new?

• This JBL Charge 5 review was updated on May 7, 2024, to answer more FAQs and add a section on how it compares to the JBL Flip 6. It was updated again on November 18th, 2024, to add more relevant alternatives.
• See our rumors hub for the JBL Charge 6 to find out when it might be released and if it’s worth the wait.

Who is the JBL Charge 5 for?With its IP67 protection rating and robust build, the JBL Charge 5 is for any listener after a portable speaker with decent output that can take on the great outdoors.

What’s it like to use the JBL Charge 5?

The Charge 5’s passive radiators are well protected.

The JBL Charge 5 is roughly the shape and approximate weight of a football. The unit is wrapped in durable fabric, with silicon bumpers on the side protecting its passive radiators. Rubberized silicone strips are also found on the bottom of the enclosure, keeping it in place while you crank up your tunes. Combined with an IP67 protection rating, making this speaker both dust-proof and water-proof, it’s safe to say that the Charge 5 is ready for your next beach day or weekend camping trip, thanks to its rugged build.
The JBL Charge 5 features an IP67 protection rating.

While this speaker is marketed as portable, it won’t exactly fit into your pocket. However, it will fit into a backpack with no problem. You’ll find your backlit power and Bluetooth buttons on the top of the unit and your raised playback controls, which offer a satisfying tactile click when pressed. Around the back of the unit, you’ll find your USB-C charge port and a courtesy USB-A outlet for charging devices in the field.

Should you download the JBL Portable app?

Take advantage of the 3-band EQ.Pair a second Charge 5 for stereo performance.Connect with out JBL speakers via PartyTogether.

We recommend downloading and installing the JBL Portable app. Here, you’ll find access to a 3-band customizable EQ and the option to pair a second Charge 5 for stereo performance. If your best pal shows up with a Flip 6, don’t worry; you don’t have to tell them to leave. You can use the PartyTogether feature and pair the speakers for extra room-filling power, but they will only play back in mono. PartyTogether works with a variety of JBL speakers, including the new Clip 5, Go 4, and Xtreme 4.

How does the JBL Charge 5 connect?

You’ll find raised playback controls on the top of the unit in typical JBL fashion.

The Charge 5 connects to your device via Bluetooth 5.1, and pairing is easy enough—press and hold the Bluetooth symbol on the top of the speaker and select it from your device’s Bluetooth menu. The Charge 5 also offers Bluetooth multipoint, so if you and a friend want to take turns playing music through your speaker, you won’t have to switch source devices each time.
How is the battery life on the JBL Charge 5?JBL states the Charge 5 can achieve 20 hours of playback off a single charge. Unfortunately, it does not offer fast charging.

How does the JBL Charge 5 sound?

The bass radiators do a great job of amping up the low end of your music.

The Charge 5 gets decently loud, enough for a medium-sized gathering, indoors or out. Our Executive Editor Chris Thomas once DJ’d a small wedding with a pair of JBL Charge 3 speakers—the Charge 5 could undoubtedly pull that off!

It’s easy to parse apart all the elements of a song with the JBL Charge 5.

The vocals are clear thanks to the driver setup inside the speaker. It features a long-excursion driver and a separate tweeter, and each side houses a passive bass radiator. Taylor Swift’s Mr. Perfectly Fine sounds excellent through the Charge 5, with her vocals ringing out clearly during the bridge at 3:32, but it doesn’t mask the quieter guitar parts. When the drums and bass return at 3:46, you can identify all the instruments and vocal tracks in the song, an impressive feat for a single speaker.

To contextualize the sound quality a bit more, the JBL Charge 5 has a louder sound than the famous Bose SoundLink Mini and Bose SoundLink Flex. JBL’s bass response is more powerful, which makes sense considering the speaker is larger.

Should you buy the JBL Charge 5?

The JBL Charge 5 is still a great buy in 2024.

The JBL Charge 5 is an excellent buy when it comes to outdoor-oriented portable Bluetooth speakers. It’s rugged, offers decent sound, which you can now personalize via the JBL Portable app, has excellent battery life, and can charge a device or two in the field if you’re in a pinch. You can throw this one in your backpack without worry. What else do you need to keep your next outdoor party going?

Whether your season is full of trips to the beach or backyard parties, you’ll need just the right speaker to DJ these events. The JBL Charge 5 gets the job done if you need something that’s very loud, and quite portable. It’s a little pricey though, so anyone who already has an older JBL Charge speaker shouldn’t feel the need to upgrade.

JBL Charge 5 VS JBL Flip 6: Which Bluetooth speaker is better?

The JBL Flip 6 is water- and dust-resistant and loud enough to entertain a small patio party.

If you prioritize audio performance and longer battery life, the JBL Charge 5 is the better speaker choice. The Charge 5’s larger size produces a fuller bass response and louder volume output than the Flip 6. It also has a significantly longer battery life at 20 hours versus 12 hours on the Flip 6. However, the Flip 6 is more portable and travel-friendly due to its smaller size and lighter weight.

It sacrifices some sound quality and battery life for the sake of portability. So, if you need a speaker that can easily be thrown in a bag for trips, the Flip 6 may be preferable. But for pure audio performance at home or outdoor parties, the Charge 5 is the superior JBL portable speaker of the two. You can read our full versus article to see how they compare.

Easy to use Bluetooth pairing • Loud output for parties • Portable

A solid successor to the Flip 5.

The JBL Flip 6 makes for a solid update to the JBL Flip 5 and the IP67 rating is a welcome upgrade. You still get JBL’s signature sound and it’s just as easy as ever to sync this Bluetooth speaker with your devices.

What should you get instead of the JBL Charge 5?

You can personalize the sound of your Flip 6 via the JBL Portable app.

If the Charge 5 is just a little too big for your needs, check out its smaller sibling, the JBL Flip 6. ($99 at Amazon) Offering a similar build and design, the Flip 6 is also outdoor-ready with an IP67 protection rating. It provides 12 hours of battery life off a single charge, customizable sound via the JBL Portable app and even a handy strap attachment for placement options on the go.
The JBL Xtreme 4 retains its IP67 protection rating.

On the flip side, if you need something a little beefier than the Charge 5, consider sizing up to the JBL Xtreme 4. (on the product’s website) It offers the same IP67 protection rating, plenty of booming bass, but now offers up to 24 hours of battery life. If that’s not enough to keep your party going, you can buy an additional battery pack and swap them out as needed.

Lastly, we can’t forget the ultra-portable. JBL dropped the new Clip 5 and the new Go 4 just this year. To learn more about the difference between these two on-the-go models, check out our video below:
