While Sony do pump those bass, the highs on Sony sounds muffled compare to JBL. And JBL on the other hand produce quite lot of Noise Artifacts on max volume. The Sony got plus on it's feats. like hands-free call and Voice Assistant which the JBL Charge 5 doesn't have. But despite all that I'd still go for JBL Charge 5. I've already tested it from Sand to Sea and Pool water and it 💯% working ti'll now…

[@MrLuzzle]

I totally agree with your verdict, the JBL has better, cleaner, and richer sound. The Sony has a better and punchier bass but the sound seemed a bit muffled to me and wasn't has clear as the JBL but a good speaker though. ✊🏿

[@LydonLewisDoUbLeZz]

I've been saying since they announced it one tweeter in-between the drivers probably would have nailed the sound!

[@alirezamalekahmadi3435]

Hi dear flossy I do appreciate your work it was a great job. However, In terms of reviewing sound quality what has been missed about XE300 is that it supports LDAC which can boost the sound quality, but iPhones do not support that Codec So you can't really squeeze out all its ability with those phones.

[@jedvaulten02]

iPhones suck in general for Bluetooth speakers, Google, Xiaomi and Poco are the best, like who says no to a built in 10 band EQ with Atmos. 😎

[@jedvaulten02]

The reason some speakers have AAC codec is iPhone's use that codec and the EQ settings are built into that codec, but for androids they use SBC, AptX and LDAC but the EQ isn't built into the codec so you have to do it manually with a software of choice or use the EQ in settings. Mifa Wildbox for example doesn't have AAC that's why it sounds horrible with iOS 😅

I love the outdoory battery charging cool looking simple and durable JBL CHARGE 5! Cant wait for the 6. The ONLY complaint is the directness of the sound. If your in a room and your on the backside of the speaker, its definently noticable. But easy fix is put the back against a wall or something. Got a Clip 4. Wish i got the clip 5 to connect to my charge 5...

I bought the JBL Charge 5 a couple of days ago but the Bluetooth is unreliable. It intermittently crackles/stutters. I have contacted JBL to see what they say and maybe they will give me a replacement which will hopefully rectify the issue. If I can't one that works properly I will have to find a different unit to buy which kinda sucks coz I have been impressed with the JBL so far, other than the Bluetooth.

[@gilbs72]

Tested both before I purchased a BT speaker at Yodobashi store in Tokyo. There weren't too many people so I got to listen for a little while more. Neither was boomy, but to me the Sony went below the JBL in reproducing deeper sound. I also found Sony to be fuller in mids and highs. I also noted that XE300 connected to my Samsung phone in hi-res LDAC codec but the Charge 5 connected in lossy AAC. Wasn't able to test the battery life (obviously) but the Sony promises a few hours more play time than the JBL. The feeling I had was like the Sony is a newer released product and would go against the Charge 6 rather than the 5, although this is just my perception and I don't really know when both were released. Took home the Sony. Quick NOTE: I was listening in a big room (store) so it wasn't an ideal place to really test speakers meant for personal listening.

[@TTOS69]

The charge 5 cannot connect using AAC or AptX.... So you're phone is lieing to you or whoever told you that. It uses SBC only. That's literally it. So you lieing about Tokyo too? Lol just playing but you are wrong.
