The JBL Charge 5 has better sound quality and adds a few improvements to the well-liked JBL Charge 4. But, on the other hand, one particular adjustment may not be favorable to some existing JBL owners.
#JBL CHARGE 5 VS BLUETOOTH#
They are almost the same size and weight, passive radiators on the sides, the same battery and runtime, both can charge smartphones via USB under the cover.While JBL 4 is a fantastic Bluetooth speaker, especially with all of the customization options available, the Charge 5 is a significant upgrade. Otherwise, both models are very similar to each other. The Charge 4 also supported a wired connection.

The only difference is that the novelty does not have the ability to attach a strap or a carabiner, and the charging connector is removed from under the cap.Ĭomparison JBL Charge 5 with JBL Charge 4 The Charge 5 is fully consistent with the new design and looks like a miniature copy of the Xtreme 3 (you can see it in the photo below).

The level of dust and moisture protection has increased. The logo enlarged, the old shades changed and new colors were added. The new speaker design JBL showed in September 2020, when it announced the Xtreme 3, Go 3 and Clip 4. The picture below clearly shows which models can be connected with each other. But we tied the novelty with the Xtreme 3 – and everything worked well. Therefore, Charge 5 cannot be paired with Charge 4, of which people now have a huge number of them. JBL’s problem lies in the zoo of technologies that make old speakers incompatible with new ones. One way to pump up your crowd is to combine speakers wirelessly into one big audio system. For its size and purpose, the novelty produces even better sound than the Charge 4.

The column still plays loudly indoors and moderately loudly outdoors (depending on conditions). At the same time, the bass line remains bright and expressive. The previous version plays well and loudly, but it loses in details to the new model. The speaker produces a richer and more detailed sound, noticeable in many compositions, compared to the JBL Charge 4. The resulting changes in sound remove any speculation on this score.Ī separate tweeter benefited the Charge 5. The new model cannot be considered a return to the origins: they say, the speaker was removed earlier, but now they have added and allegedly invented a new column.

And the fourth version had only one driver. Previously, only the Charge 3 had two active speakers, but both were broadband. It now works in conjunction with a full-range speaker and a pair of passive emitter.
