Big vibes, pocket-sized. The JBL Go 5 has serious audio power. Legendary JBL sound shines brightly through crystal-clear details and deep, rich bass that feels louder than should be possible in this palm-sized casing.

But the Go 5 is more than iconic sound. New edge lighting powers a soft ambient glow—and you also get selectable themes and visual cues for powering on, pairing, and battery life. And with up to 10 hours of battery life, you can count on the JBL Go 5 to soundtrack your day from morning til night. Take this IP68 waterproof, dust-proof, and drop-proof speaker anywhere—and never worry about a surprise rain shower or accidental fumble again.

And hey—when the party calls for louder sound, this speaker still rocks. Bump two Go 5 speakers together to link them up through AirTouch for true stereo sound, or use Auracast™ to pair up to JBL Auracast™-enabled speakers and turn the jams up even louder. And with the JBL Portable app, you can make your listening experience truly yours.

It's big sound—all there for the grabbing and going.

Unreal quality

Bought a couple of weeks ago for general use outdoors, in the gym and as an alternative to a shower radio and I have to say the sound and build quality are both amazing. It’s exactly what is was after and the price as well for what it delivers is unbeatable.

Favorite Speaker

Added this Go 5 to our existing Go speaker fleet. End goal is to have one in basically every room of the house. Sound is on-par or better than old-school radios, works well for music and podcasts. Synching them up with Auracast has the occasional hiccup but generally synching up to phone or each other runs smoothly and intuitively. Just a good product that does its job well.

Great sound!

This is such a great little speaker. It has great sound for its size. Quality you would expect from JBL. But extremely affordable from Target.

Just as good as the GRIP

little speaker packs a big punch. I already own the GRIP which was double the price of this one and I love how its smaller and more portable without losing sound quality.

Flashing lights

I received the go three at a Christmas gala several years ago. I thought it might be time to try the go five so I would have an extra one. The sound is good the fact that you can add Another speaker is good however The flashing lights Or blinking lights are extremely annoying and I wish I could turn them off Otherwise the sound is good The portability is good and overall I would recommend this product Except for those darn blinking lights

Small but impressive

This JBL Go 5 is a brilliant little Bluetooth speaker that packs a surprising amount of sound into such a compact design. The sound quality is impressive for its size, with clear vocals, punchy bass and plenty of volume for listening at home, in the garden or while travelling. It’s also lightweight and easy to carry around, making it a great speaker for everyday use. You get a decent battery life which is ideal if you are out and about, I’ve been taking mine in the garden while working and it hasn’t failed to disappoint

Great product

The JBL GO 5 is the ultimate pocket-sized powerhouse! JBL managed to punch way above its weight class with this one. The bass is shockingly deep for such a tiny speaker, the battery life keeps up with an all-day trip, and the rugged, waterproof build means you can toss it in a backpack without a second thought. If you need massive sound in a compact frame, this is a total game-changer.

JBL has done it again...

I have used the JBL Go 5 for the past 3 weeks and it's one of the loudest portable speakers I own. For how small this speaker is, it is surprisingly loud and it does a very good job of keeping the clarity of the music quite well. Another feature I found quite interesting is that you can adjust the sound to your preference in the JBL app. There is also plenty of battery life with this speaker meaning you can definitely take this for a day out when camping with friends or sunbathing by the beach. The ambient lighting on this portable speaker is what really sets it apart from the rest of the speakers (including the JBL Go 4) - I wish there was a way you could change the ambient colour on it, but at least you have the option to change the way the lights move in the app too. I would also say that it has quality build to it too, so accidentally dropping it wouldn't be too much of an issue. Would certainly recommend!

Sounds Great

I bought the JBL Go 5 for my daughter to take to university, and it's been a real hit. It's very compact, so it fits easily on a desk or shelf in her room, but the sound is far bigger than you'd expect from something this small. Music comes through clear and crisp, and it fills the room without sounding tinny. Setting it up was really easy. She had it paired with her phone in seconds, with no fiddly instructions needed. The battery life is impressive too, lasting a long time between charges. What she loves most is how portable it is. It's already been to the beach and will definitely be coming on holiday. A great little speaker, and excellent value for money.
