Big speaker with big sound

Powerful sound
Built-in light strips
Easy to carry
Feels heavy

The JBL Xtreme 5 is a large speaker with even bigger sound. The built-in light strips are a nice addition that give the speaker a futuristic look. Due to its large size, the speaker feels heavy when I lift it for a long time.

Powerful sound The speaker delivers powerful sound. When I turn the volume down to a third, the music already sounds clear throughout my entire living room and kitchen. Fortunately, the speaker also sounds good at low volume, which is why I use it for background music during drinks. I find that the speaker delivers full sound at any volume. With the various equalizer settings, I emphasize certain tones. For instance, with the Energetic setting, I hear solid bass tones and clear vocals. When I use the speaker during drinks, I choose the JBL Signature or Chill setting. With these settings, the sound is balanced and pleasant to listen to for extended periods. I do not use the Vocal setting for music, as the sound then sounds a bit tinny. I do like this setting for podcasts, however, because voices sound clearer. Built-in Light Strips The built-in light strips are a new addition to the JBL Xtreme line. It is a nice detail that creates a futuristic look. The top light strip changes when I adjust the volume. I think it is a fun addition, but I cannot clearly see what the volume level is. In the JBL Portable app, I choose from various light themes and colors. For instance, I choose the Loop, which makes the light move in a circle. Personally, I like Neon the best, because the lights are then a beautiful blue-green color.

Easy to Carry The speaker is large, but I can easily lift it using the included shoulder strap. I can adjust the strap so that I carry it over my shoulder or use it as a long handle. If I lift the speaker using the shoulder strap as a long handle, it feels heavy after carrying it for a while. I carry it comfortably for longer if I wear it over my shoulder. Without the shoulder strap, I cannot lift the speaker easily.

Review is 9,3 out of 10.

Nice upgrade with many improvements, but very pricey.

Bass

Design
Duration

Nice upgrade from its predecessor, the Xtreme 4: more volume and more bass, especially when plugged in. The lights are a nice addition. However, it is very expensive; for the same price, you could also get the more powerful Boombox 3/4 or Partybox 120.

It is definitely recommended if you want a portable speaker that is easier to take with you than a Partybox, while still having good, strong bass.

It's not a bad speaker, but my Extreme 1 plays much better in terms of bass and has multiple connections, such as for a USB stick.
