I bought this JBL Charge 5 to use in an audio setup, but was very disappointed to realize that it has no 1/8" audio jack, and that this seems to have changed from the JBL Charge 4 and all the previous models, which did have one. I brought this without checking first, since my friend's older JBL Charge had an audio jack. This meant I could not use it for my project at all. I don't know why they removed the audio jack – it's not like they are short on space. It's a portable speaker. I should be able to plug my audio into it. Disappointed.

Thanks for your feedback. Yes, our JBL Charge 5 doesn't have an audio input. You may want to consider our JBL Charge 6, as it can connect to a laptop via Bluetooth or USB-C connection for lossless audio. Please make sure to press and hold the play button before plugging the USB-C cable into your speaker. You will hear an audible confirmation. If you prefer a 3.5mm aux connection, you may check our JBL Charge 4. If you need more help, please contact our customer support.
The ability to connect multiple speakers. Ease of.

Thanks for your feedback. If you are referring to the PartyBoost feature. Please know that the PartyBoost is not available when your JBL Charge 5 is connected to a computer via Bluetooth. This is a technical limitation. When connected to a computer, the computer acts as the primary device. Therefore, your JBL Charge 5 does not have control of re-transmitting the Bluetooth signal to other JBL speakers. If you need further assistance, you may contact us.

Greatest bluetooth speaker

Had this one for over 5 years that I won at an arcade. Only recently has it had issues, and it’s just that it can no longer keep a worthy charge time. The absolute greatest bluetooth speaker I ever had. Been through water and mud, thrown and beaten around… still sounds perfect clarity and bass wise.
Excellent battery life

Disappointed in sync ability with existing speaker
1 reply from Customer Support team - 28 days ago
Thank you for your feedback regarding our JBL Charge 5. When using the PartyBoost feature, we recommend playing music for at least 20 seconds before connecting your JBL Charge 5 to another Partyboost speaker. To pair the speakers, press the PartyBoost button on the first speaker, then turn on the second speaker and press the PartyBoost button on it as well. Please note that it may take a few seconds before the music will play from both speakers. If you need more help, please contact our customer support.

It was super easy (and free!) to personalize a speaker. I’m surprising my daughter with it for her birthday. She knows she’s getting a JBL but has no idea how cool it’s going to be! Shipping was fast too.
Super

Great product, durable portable and smooth audio. Wish charge 5 had the new AI 7 band equalisers but a very good speaker regardless.
Perfect for its price!
