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

submitted by TChat - 2 months 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 Paisley - 4 months ago
  • A: Thank you for your question. Our JBL Charge 5 is designed primarily as a Bluetooth speaker and does not include an auxiliary input.

However, it's important to keep the charging port flap closed when the speaker is not in use to maintain its water resistance.

    Love the way this speaker sounds! Bought it for my classroom and it was a great choice. I couldn't figure out why it was turning off frequently, so apparently I missed the part where it has an automatic shut off if not plugged in.

    I got a charge 5 with a custom image on it. I always love JBL speakers and no, I would highly recommend the charge 5 in general, however the custom design is wearing away very quickly and I'm very disappointed. I've only had it for a week or so and already it looks pretty trashed. I would understand if this was a speaker that was meant to stay in the home, but as a speaker that is meant to be portable, it seems like a major design flaw to offer a customization isn't durable. If you're planning on just keeping your speaker on the shelf in your house, you're probably fine to get a custom image, otherwise I would skip it.

    Love the sound. Bought it to replace my old Flip 5 which after 4-5 years died -- would no longer take a charge. The Charge 5 is much better sounding. Has upgraded bluetooth, more power and a tweeter. My only complaint and reason for 4 stars is the charging wire. I had to use an adapter to connect it to my MacBook Pro which has USB-3 ports.

    The image is good. But I’ll clear coat it to protect the image. As I heard it comes off pretty easy. I wasn’t to fond of the loudness. I feel that my flip 3 is louder and better sounding.

    1 reply from Customer Support team - 25 days ago
    Thanks for your feedback. We're here to help with your JBL Charge 5. Sometimes a Bluetooth connection can become corrupt. Please try to forget/unpair your speaker from your source device and do a manual pairing by pressing the Bluetooth button on your JBL Charge 5. On your source device's Bluetooth settings, tap on "JBL Charge 5" to connect. If this doesn’t solve the issue, we need to determine if the problem is in the device or the speaker. Try to connect the speaker to a different device (phone/tablet/music player, etc.) to see if it fixes the problem. If you need more help, please contact our customer support.
