JBL Charge 5 Waterproof Bluetooth Speaker

The JBL Charge 5 is a rugged, mid-sized portable Bluetooth speaker built for all-day outdoor use. It features bold JBL pro sound with an optimized long-excursion driver, separate tweeter, and dual bass radiators delivering rich, clear audio. With 20 hours of battery life, it's one of the longest-lasting speakers in its class—and includes a built-in USB powerbank to charge devices on the go. The speaker is IPX7 waterproof and dustproof, making it fearless around pools, beaches, and sudden downpours. It supports Bluetooth 5.0 with up to 2-device pairing and JBL PartyBoost multi-speaker linking for larger gatherings. At 2.1 lbs and 8.7" long, it's moderately portable—not pocketable, but designed for travel and outdoor adventures. JBL's 70-year heritage in audio reproduction backs the sound signature. Best for: road-trippers, pool parties, camping, and anyone prioritizing battery life and water resistance over extreme portability.
