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%

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!

Best Speaker Ever.
Arguable the best purchase I’ve made in a long time I was contemplating to get it for sometime and wanted to try the personalized option. When I finally decided on the image and got my JBL Charge 5 I have to get more

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,
