The Charge 5 has a more detailed sound, in my opinion - a clearer separation between low-mids and bass. While the Charge 4 may sound "fuller," it comes at the expense of clarity.

The sound of the speaker can be heard perfectly in your video. Deep bass sounds very good, especially in your video. Thank you for recording the sounds so beautifully and so well and presenting them to us. I can't decide which speaker I need without watching your video. Love you dear. sh 15.06.21 7.21pm, Tu.

Now that Charge 5 is here perhaps Charge 4 will become little more affordable. That's definitely something to look forward to.

Finally! Have been waiting for this video from you

Had the charge 5 for a week and it sounds great ! Sounds even better party boosted with my flip 5

I bought both. First the 4 and thought the sound was muddy. Then I got the 5. Way brighter and clearer soundstage. And the bass was not bad. I’d made my decision to return the 4. Then I updated the 5’s firmware and WOW! The 4’s sound is embarrassingly bad. The 5 is louder, brighter, clearer, and the bass is deeper and much more integrated into the sound rather than living under it. It’s enjoyable! Very! Extremely!!! There is absolutely no reason to buy a 4 unless you’re stuck in the JBL Connect ecosystem.

I have the Charge 4 and I love the bass but now that I've listened to this video with my a top end headset, I can say that the Charge 4 is bassy as hell but the Charge 5 is alot clearer with the added extras + the much loved bass.

Better separation on the 5 with the mids and highs. highs are definatley crisper on the 5. The 4 sounds quite muddy, some would say smoother. Can't comment on the soundstage. The crispness in the uppers will change once its broken in. For what they are, they are great. I get my 5 tomorrow, for my fishing trips. I will say I like the smaller logo. I dislike huge branding. We know its JBL, now it just shouts at you. Plus small carrying buckles would have been great, for hanging up somewhere. Great review though. Maybe the 5 will grow on you. Change is a funny thing when you are attached to something else. I have looked at the Bose, Dali, Sony, B & O and a few others. This ticked most of the boxes for what I wanted it for. Its a shame they don't do better codecs for it.

Thks for the video bro..I own a charge 4 and I was thinking about getting a charge 5..this video clear all my doubts

Very good analysis- your really good!!!!

well... Interestingly, in that particular space ambient the ch4 sounds better than the ch5. One thing people dont know is that these speakers NEED an atmosphere that give the resonance so one can appreciate some quality of sound. They do the job. Is just that people mistake them for some high-end loud speaker and but is not the case. These are for some occasional mid level ambient so people can enjoy talking to each other at their reunion.

C4 WINS....EASY!!! i owned 2 C4's and im loving it everyday...

Many thanks for the extensive A-B comparison sequences. Although the volume levels are quoted as the same, were they actually tested with a Db meter and shown to be identical? From this test, I am convinced that I made the correct decision. I started shopping for a Charge 4 after hearing a friend’s Charge 3, but in the process I found a refurb Charge 5 for the same price. No doubt in my mind the C5 is superior.

aux input on a 5 would have been my dream scenario for these JBL's, I ended up picking up a 4.

Please request it again after using the 5 speaker at max volume for a week...

Does anyone know what kind of charger do I need to charge my JBL Charge 5 because I tried a PD charger it works fine but I testes it how many watts it takes and I saw 4.8v and 2.7A is that a 15W but the spec sheet only said 5V/2A maximum is it ok to use a PD for my Charge 5??

no real difference, the game changer for me is the lack of 3.5 jack so that I can get consistent sound with my PC and the charge 5 doesn't have it. As a result I will go with charge 4

Charge 4 in 2024 sounds like the better buy charge 5 is still $180 vs $99 for the 4. Unless you’re. A dj the “old” is more practical with the all the ports behind the plug. Idc if my port is water proof. It can’t be sand proof or mud proof. Charge 5 was better off putting all ports behind the plug cover. I like to take my speaker to the river , out fishing or working outside listening to podcasts it gets dirty out here. Imagine musty cheese. That’s my life.

Hi. Charge 4 is TL or GG ? Charge 5 which version ?

Hey Willington, i got a great idea, since most of us are not audiophiles but audiofools ! ( including “audiophiles” ) When the audio comparison starts, first just show a “Speaker 1” and “Speaker 2” configuration. Let people decide which one is better, THEN, reveal the speakers.

DLX Wellington i have a great idea you should try out bass boosted songs and test it on all your speakers I think you will really love it 😉

Why is the charge 5 speaker vibrating when you play music in charge 4? I could clearly understand why you put them so close.

i feel like jbl , is kinda doing side steps instead of moving forward. they kinda shuffling different stuff and playing with the high and mid frequencies more. if you are a bass head like me, it does not hit the spot. onyx 6 is still the king bass in its category, without going oversized and the price is not bad either, only the battery life is still dissapointing .

Yeah, i'm getting a charge four. I waited 2 months for nothing, thanks JBL. Thankyou Willington, you're so helpful:)

Can you do a video comparing bose's latest portable speaker and the jbl's? Lookin to buy a portable speaker but not sure which to get...

What's your hearing is coaxial speeker versus separates.. when you don't have a tweeter that is a coaxial design where everything is coming out of a central point. That actually gives you some advantages we are from a distance everything will hit your ears at the same time unless you have some type of processing inside the speaker for the timing issues with separates. AND YOU KNOW THEY DO NOT HAVE THAT FOR THAT SMALL PRICE POINT. You will get a tighter sound with coaxial.. The advantages of separates different amplifiers for each speaker will not so much of a difference in such a small unit.. in a compact situation coaxial is actually a better.. Coming to you from an audio engineer and an audiofile.. You have a good year for hearing that!! ;)

Did you do a break-in on the 5? I know with all of the JBLs I've purchased, I run them at 60 percent for about 10 hours to loosen them up. It's made a difference with some of mine (charge 3, 4, xtreme, xtreme 2, boom box) It may be worth a try.
