Q: Hi, Does this JBL Charge 5 portable bluetooth speaker only work through a JBL app?

submitted by TChat - 1 year ago
  • A: Hi TChat, thanks for reaching out about JBL Charge 5 Portable Bluetooth Waterproof Speaker. It's important to distinguish between the standard JBL Charge 5 and the JBL Charge 5 Wi-Fi, as their app functionalities differ slightly: JBL Charge 5 (Bluetooth Only): This version primarily relies on Bluetooth connectivity. You can absolutely use it without the JBL Portable app. However, the JBL Portable app enhances the experience by offering features like: Firmware updates. Equalizer (EQ) adjustments. PartyBoost control (for connecting multiple JBL speakers). So, while the app is optional for basic Bluetooth playback, it adds valuable functionality. JBL Charge 5 Wi-Fi: This version has both Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connectivity. The JBL One app is more integral to this model, especially for setting up and utilizing its Wi-Fi capabilities, including: Connecting to your Wi-Fi network. Accessing streaming services. Customizing EQ settings. So with the Wi-Fi version of the charge 5, the app is more heavily used. If you have any additional questions, we welcome you to contact MyTGTtech at 833-848-8324 every day, between 7am-11pm CST.

  • A: Thanks for your question. Our JBL Charge 5 can connect directly to your source device via Bluetooth and doesn't require an app to connect. You can utilize the JBL Portable app to enable advanced control.

submitted by Target shopper - 1 year ago
  • A: Thank you for your inquiry. Our JBL Charge 5 is IP67 rated, which means it's both dustproof and waterproof. It can withstand accidental spills, rain, and even short submersions in water. However, it's important to keep the charging port flap closed when the speaker is not in use to maintain its water resistance.

    Hands down the best speakers and sound

    I had a lot wrote out but I backed out and it all deleted. I’ll make it shorter this time lol These speakers are hands down the best portable speakers! Worth every single cent! I’ve had 3 of the smaller portable ones and I’ve had the flip they are wonderful little speakers for the size. I’ve also had the Charge 4 big sound for the size and money. I have that one to my son. I’ve now graduated up to the Charge 5 and I own two of them. All I can say is Wow wow wow yes buy it, you won’t regret it! I’ll never buy another brand speaker again. They are truly waterproof too by the way mine have been submerged a few times and rained on. I washed them in the sink after taking them to the beach as well so trust they will be good as new if they get wet. Best speakers 100%

    Great for brand promotion

    Very cool that you can personalize a speaker. Great for brand promotion on a really nice product. 5 star on the sound. Unfortunately- the print wasn’t quite as expected- small blemishes where the ink looks like it missed.

    Like the options that are available,

    I like the personalized speakers for their ability to showcase my individuality. They encompass that in the way they offer a way to add text, stickers and a wide choice of colors for the speaker. they are vibrant and give off a hue that matches the speakers color choice. They sound great and can get loud enough to hear in another room. The lights for the state of charge are dim and need to be observed up close or wait until they shut down when the battery is drained. I can live with that as I installed the JBL portable app to check the charge on my phone. All in all they are great speakers to enjoy streamed music, I would get one or two to have for a real stereo effect,

    I was disappointed that didn't have an Aux port. Other than that it puts out a bigger sound than the flip 4 or flip 6.

    Speaker App has Serious issues

    JBL apps don’t work on the most recent Apple devices. Forget about Stereo pairing with two Charge 5 speakers. People have been complaining about this App for years but obviously JBL is not listening. Don’t believe me, just read the reviews on your iPhone App. Purchase at your own peril!

    Robust sound

    I bought this a month ago. It links well with my phone but doesn’t seem to pair with my other devices which is disappointing. The look isn't pretty; the sound is not stereo but it is robust.
