JBL Charge 5 Wifi Review - Is Wifi Worth The Upgrade?

[@danteedwards6131]

This was a huge issue i just experienced, i didnt realize wifi models were not partyboost compatible with standard bluetooth verison, kinda sucks.

[@gaborkiss1425]

The question is, why? So they can release a Charge 6 with Wifi and PartyBoost down the line? If yes, that'd be obnoxious.

[@oscargantes1651]

I've the charge 5 wifi sounds a little louder and if it's connected to wifi it sounds even better. I chose it because its battery is bigger and I didn't think partyboost was a major thing for me

[@gaborkiss1425]

Reviews say that playback time is the same as C5, though, even if it takes +2 hours to charge back up...is it true?

[@anilv4]

How wifi handles lossless audio? Does it sound better than Bluetooth?

[@superstringsbro]

That’s the whole point of the speaker and he didn’t even mention it. Worst review ever.

[@puskarghosh]

I have Denon AVR. There is distinct difference between bluetooth and wifi playing sound.

[@RealG23__]

I mean the charge 5 wifi has a new update bluetooth version 5.3 while the original has 5.1

Am guessing they did this to get people's reactions cause am thinking the charge 6 and flip 7 are going in hard on smart speakers capabilities

[@iomis2001]

I like not having to use my phone to connect to it when I am at home. The WiFi reaches my back yard as well. So for me I prefer the WiFi.

[@juanfigueroa4305]

I sold my standard Charge 5 and I'm undecided whether to buy the Charge 5 WiFi. Do you think it's worth it? 🤔

[@christophergilbert9619]

Jbl charge 3 was the best. I've had 3,4, and 5. They keep taking away features every model update... I'm honestly about to go to sonos speakers

[@gaborkiss1425]

Corporate greed to save a few bucks in manufacturing. Obnoxious.

[@imstillminty337]

Did you use a lossless, bit perfect audio source though?

[@SethuSenthil]

No party boost is the dumbest thing JBL could have ever done 😭

[@phillees4362]

Hi, I use Apple music on an android phone. Can I connect via Wi-Fi and play from the Apple app ? Cheers.

[@akcaikeren]

When do you think the Charge 6 and Flip 7 will be announced?

[@josephebrahim9048]

Probably around June cuz that’s when the go 4 and clip 5 drop so ima guess they’ll announce them as well around that time

[@akcaikeren]

@@josephebrahim9048 that kinda makes sense and i hope they don't mess it up like the Extreme 4 because i thought they were gonna improve the speaker setup like for example the Boombox 3 but no all they did was change the battery and make the design worse

[@betelgeuse227]

@@akcaikerenthey played around with the eq Too, Bass at 70% is distorting and even tough it gets a bit louder than the xtreme 3 at max volume, it has less bass at that volume

@@josephebrahim9048 It's August now, and while GO 4 has indeed arrived, no sign yet of Clip 5, yet alone Charge 6 or Flip 7.

Not basic, Partyboost version 🎉

Can i connect jbl charge 5 wifi with other jbl speakers ?

[@vyvy9498]

Why your retail price is always higher than actual price 😂😂

[@687donny]

It retails at 179.99 on Amazon and JBL website

[@ArnelZapataJr]

No Party Boost? I'll stick with my Charge 5!

[@gaborkiss1425]

Pair that thing with a Flip 6, a match made in heaven (tested).

[@juancolorado9538]

Why dosent the jbl charge 5 wifi come with party boost ? 😡

Typo in the thumbnail

[@justineocampo8077]

Do you use hi-res streaming services like apple music when you say that the battery lasts for at least 12 hours or is it just spotify?

[@patroklo]

you say spotify isnt hi-res?

Please please please, can this speaker be added to Google Home Speaker Group? Or which other water resistant WiFi speaker can do this?

[@GYMCADDY]

Yes

[@NomadByNecessity]

@@GYMCADDY Thanks Chief. I place a while lot of reliance on your reviews.. but it seemed the loss of party boost feature took your attention away from the biggest dividend of the new Wifi capability: Speaker Group Function. Add the ability to continue playing music even when receiving calls on your phone (for example) and you'd appreciate this feature. Keep up the good work though you made me search out another reviewer today: New Stuff Tv. He did a good job too. Cheers

[@armandoavila7079]

Nobody wants basic. Would you settle for a basic wife? Nope.

[@marcomunoz1146]

Can the WiFi version play music in Dolby atmos?

[@Plabs07]

you can’t get any real Dolby atmos from speaker off this size .. it’s all a marketing gimmick. Just read up on what Dolby atmos is and how it really works

[@thomasgammelby9309]

Does it support High Res Audio over Wifi? Is there a subjective audible difference between playing via chromecast over wifi vs bluetooth?

[@mikehancock6280]

The charge 5 is $130 at Walmart every day.

Yup, actually walmart has been putting good sale. I bought the JBL Boombox 3 for 350 dlls

Same just got one upgrading finally from my flip 4. The charge 5 knocks!

[@MrGamer-lz6ci]

Do you keep your JBL charge 5 up-to-date to the latest version on the app?

[@bcr003]

One question that isn't making sense: charge 5 has a 7500mah battery, good for "20 hrs" playback. The charge 5 wifi has a 14400mah battery, also good for "20 hrs" playback. How is the charge 5 wifi not playing for many more hrs??? Wifi doesn't consume even near as much energy as Bluetooth, and even if so, use that speaker in Bluetooth mode and wouldnt we be comparing apples to apples here???

[@687donny]

Only way this is worth it is if on top of WIFI they threw in high res Audio certifications a extra 50 bucks is too much just fir wifi

[@rahannn]

Hi, can I stream to both charge 5 and bar800 over airplay at the same time?
