Jbl charge 5. JBL Charge 5 review

Under a smaller rubber cap, you still get the useful USB-A port for using the Charge 5 to charge your devices That said, the JBL can produce a deeper bass than the Ultimate Ears and can be paired to multiple PartyBoost-compatible speakers which can come in handy when you want your audio to fill a large room
The is a better speaker than the JBL Charge 5 overall However, the JBL can get louder than the Sonos with fewer compression artifacts at max volume

Additionally, it supports voice assistants through your smartphone, though it doesn't do a good job of hearing you from far and in noisy settings
While it's advertised to last around 20 hours from a single 4-hour charge, it lasted over 14 hours in our tests, which is still superb The logo is now bigger but looks classier and less like a badge than the branding on its predecessor, with simple metallic accents around the letters rather than a block frame
It also has a better-balanced sound profile than the Anker It has a ClearAudio+ feature advertised to adjust the speaker's sound according to your audio content and can get louder than the JBL

However, the Sony's companion app comes with a graphic EQ you can use to adjust its sound to your liking.

The Sony has a wider-sounding soundstage and can get louder than the JBL Its companion app features a graphic EQ and presets you can use to tweak its sound to your liking
