JBL Charge 5: ideal speaker for at home and on the go

Clear sound at high volume
Powerful sound
Robust appearance
Cannot be linked to Charge 4

The JBL Charge 5 is the successor of the Charge 4 and the fifth speaker from the Charge series. Because of the powerful sound and the water resistance, I think this is the ideal speaker for both indoor and outdoor use. I just regret that I can't pair it with a JBL Charge 4.

Clear sound at high volume One of the nicest things about this speaker is that it produces a high volume. He does this without compromising too much on the sound quality. I turn the volume up loud and voice still sounds pretty clear. Here and there details are lost, but I do not find this disturbing at such a high volume.

Powerful sound The speaker doesn't just convince me at a high volume. When I play music at a normal level, the sound is powerful. I sit at the table with friends and the speaker is 4 meters away. Everyone can hear the music just as well and I don't have to turn up the volume. This makes the speaker ideal for indoor use.

Ideal for outdoors The speaker is not only ideal for indoors, but also outdoors. I place it in the bathroom, take it to the beach or put it outside in the park during a workout. Thanks to the IP67 certification, it will not break through water. The battery life of 20 hours ensures that I listen to my favorite songs all day long.

Robust appearance Compared to its predecessor, this speaker has a more robust appearance. That's why I think it's a little nicer finished. The only thing I regret is that I don't connect the speaker to the JBL Charge 4. I can only connect it to a Charge 5, or other JBL speakers with JBL Party Boost for stereo sound.

heavy quality sound

costs a few cents, but then you also have something; packaged like an Apple product (a gift to unbox, for the unboxing fetishists among us) and the weight suggests solidity and quality ... most of it will be battery, but hey, finish is great. And then the sound ... how can that sound come from such a small thing, was my first thought; after a few listens: there is sometimes something missing in the middle, but that doesn't take away from the fact that this thing sounds fine otherwise.

Why this one, and not the Xtreme? Most reviews are praising both, so that's of no use ... but one (1) reviewer made a useful comment, which I'd like to add here: the Extreme needs a higher volume to come into its own in terms of sound quality and the Charge, on the other hand, also sounds great at lower volume.

Warning: partyboost does NOT work via laptop, only with sm

Pluses are mentioned everywhere
And I agree :)
But...
Party boost does NOT work via laptop

In a previous review I wrote why I was happy with this speaker. I don't have to repeat that, everyone writes about it and it's true.

I had a real party with 1 single box. But how nice if there are several? With the party boost function it is tempting to buy a second box, which I did.

But if you think that the boxes can pair when you want to play music from your laptop, then you are disappointed. They do not. Only when you connect your box to your phone. Why, JBL? And why is this not described anywhere? This is precisely the reason why I bought a second box.

So for people who only intend to play music from their phone, fine, super fun, party boost works perfectly.

So not via your laptop. In no way. Perhaps there will be an update from JBL that makes this possible, would be so neat. And if not, there may be some clever programmers who can hack the firmware so that the box thinks your PC is a phone, something like that. I am waiting for it.
