Sure, this isn’t the loudest JBL speaker out there, but it’s big enough to keep a small party entertained and light enough to fit in your backpack during trips. And while it’s not the latest Charge model either, this portable Bluetooth speaker continues to win hearts with its excellent value for money — especially when on sale. But what exactly makes it such a popular choice? Let’s break it down, starting with size. The unit weighs 2.11 lbs (0.96 kg), so it’s much lighter and more compact than the louder Xtreme 3 and Boombox 3. It’s also outdoor-ready, thanks to its durable build and IP67 rating. Just toss it in your backpack and get the party going — no pampering whatsoever.
The Charge 5 sounds fantastic right out of the box, too. You get a meaty soundstage, deep and punchy bass, and mostly clear highs — perfect for casual listening. The speaker also gets quite loud, and you can even connect it to other compatible JBL speakers with PartyBoost. Those looking for audio customization can use the three-band EQ through the JBL portable app.
As its name suggests, this bad boy can also charge your devices as you go. It has a built-in USB-A port, which can be a lifesaver if you forgot to top up your phone before a trip. Factor in the battery life of up to 20 hours, and you clearly see why it’s such a popular option.
And the best part? You can now get it for just $129.95 instead of $179.95, thanks to Walmart’s sale. Grab a model in your favorite color and let the party begin.
