About JBL CHARGE 5 - Portable Bluetooth Speaker
Overall Feedback:
75% positive
82% found the battery long-lasting, yet 18% reported unexpected drainage
The speaker has decent sound and an okay battery life. However, I work around a lot of machinery and need to play my music louder, which makes the battery life seem short.
The battery life lasts for approximately 6 hours at 80% - 100% volume, but it distorts somewhat beyond 90% volume.
The battery life is decent for a speaker of this size, but it's not worth the money.
I am disappointed with the battery life of the new speaker. It has a shorter life by about 25% than my old one, which I have been using for seven years and still lasts longer.

Mac/JBL bluetooth connectivity is terrible.

94% appreciated the sound quality, but 6% were disappointed
The audio quality is perfect for my use and it gets loud with the 2 passive subs giving out the perfect amount of bass.
I was surprised by the sound quality, which is louder than Bose at half volume on max volume.
I have experienced mixed feedback regarding the sound quality of the bluetooth-speakers. the sound quality depended on the source material and the type of sound files being played.
