As an update, the jbl charge 5 has an equaliser in the app.

[@AdamsMusicandFun]

Soundcore has really announced their presence in the bluetooth speaker market with the Motion+ and Motion Boom. Rather than the JBL Charge 5, I think I'd get a pair of Motion Booms (and only have to spend about $15 more than the Charge 5). Especially for having so many possibilities and configurations for an outdoor setting. Great video as always!

You're right, two Booms is OP

I do agree soundcore should come out with a more appealing design for the Boom. Id remove the handle, I rather have a slimmer slick look with the straps like the JBL and I don't mind the plastic but yes some rubber injected plastic bumpers instead would be better.

[@videditorEB1]

Great video, as always. Putting the JBL right in front of that small rock cave is boosting the volume of the JBL, in effect, the cave becomes a speaker. The BOOM didn't benefit from that placement. Probably made some difference. Thanks for the vid.

[@ricardomaya2001]

Agreed ! Not only that but motion boom with some tunning in the equalizer you get a very good and clear sound. Nice review nevertheless!

[@petervdveenmuis]

The Motion Boom rocks.

[@antoniopelmus1560]

Maybe but shouldn't be too much of a difference because the sound is coming from the front anyway

[@jordanking7711]

The result would have been the same in the end. JBL to me has a more fuller, richer sound. The Soundcore to me sounds like there is a blanket draped over it, muffling the overall sound. Bass isn't necessarily the overall deciding factor.

[@jeffreyvanzeijst7932]

Speaking of dropping..I get your point.. however I accidentally dropped a JBL extreme once and honestly it cracked badly right away..and the actual height wasn't that much. So even though the material on JBL might scuff less, it's actually just the outer layer that is covered. Underneath it's all just plastic like almost any speaker. But yes having more color options is always a good thing. 😅

My two motion booms are a really fun listen. And they work for video games even without aptx. Very minimal lag

That bass on the sound core is 🔥. I love that. I don't have the soundcore. I do have the Jbl Charge 5. Not gonna lie but I love the quality of sound from this speaker. I use it every where and for almost everything. Especially when I'm shooting hoops.

[@Xmetalfanx]

not going to lie ... I thought the bass radiator was going to vibrate right out of the speaker, on the Boom, lol ... I was waiting for it to move around the side of the pool, based on the beat of the bass, lol

[@Kment011]

The Charge 5 is awesome and is by far the best in the charge series, but you gave it a distinct advantage putting it in front of the little cave. You can also get quite a bit more out of the Boom with custom EQ settings. Also $76 vs $180!!! LOL! If JBL priced the Charge 5 at $120, it would be a great choice!

[@Ray_Entertainment]

When you have 2 motion boom hidden on your bike that get mistaken for jbl 's then you know you got good speakers.

[@Asce8888]

You need that custom EQ for the motion boom. I copied the EQ from Alan Ross & Oluvs Gadgets. Both are similar to one another and both are better than any of the souncore presets by far

[@Xmetalfanx]

I am a big fan of some new budget speakers I just got, being the Tribit XSound Surfs, but if there is one I dont need but would love to have lol ... it'd be the JBL Charge series ... even THROUGH all the usual preferences of "audio on YT is compressed..etc etc" ... the JBL Charge tests I have heard ... sound GREAT ... the price is the reason i don't have any of them now

[@Xmetalfanx]

I think part of why i like the JBL's like this that i have heard (even if in a video, and not first hand) is the same reason I like Tribit's stuff ... they can bring the bass when needed, but I am a fan of CLARITY and balance too .... I have heard speakers that dont sound "bad" but .. they do sometimes at least on some tracks/genres, bring too much bass and it muddies up the mids and highs. JBL ... at least with this line, seems to have figured out how to bring that bass, but dial it back before it messes up the balance

This was an awesome review glad I found you, beautiful backyard too. Just subbed! 👍 But I have a question? I'm currently at version 0.6.1.0 on my Charge 5, would it be wise to upgrade to the latest version or will the latest version ruin the sound quality?

[@Panslapper]

Interesting point there concerning the build quality and the benefits of rubber. I like the sound signature on the JBL but in case anyone is wondering just remember its a Class D amp that most of these Bluetooth speakers use and so you will find certain shortcomings in sound particularly around the mids in my experience but Class D has come on leaps and bounds in the last 10 years and sound so much better now than ever before and its an system that is still bieng improved. I can still hear a slight Class D 'dry box' sound around the mids even on the Charge 5 but again still alot better now than before. Yep, I do like the Charge 5 overall. Thanks for the reality check in the garden bro, spot on!

[@Grommet2007]

The cheap drivers that they use in these BT speakers are going to colour the sound a lot more than any class D amp supposedly will. FWIW, I went class D for my car audio amps years ago (Alpine PDX) and that 10- year old tech sounds great.

Concernant cette comparaison entre la Motion Boom et la Charge 5, j'ai besoin de vous avant d'acheter ! j'ai écouté motion boom et les basses sont vraiment meilleures que les autres enceintes mais le son global m'a déçu ( métallique et sans raffinement ), est ce que les basses de Charge 5 peuvent rivaliser avec les basses de motion boom ? est ce que le fait que Charge 5 soit en "mono" cela limite la qualité du message musical ? l'émotion ? je cherche de très bonnes basses mais aussi la qualité globale, l'émotion, comme vous ?

This is obviously an old video and I do apologize Antwan, but in my personal opinion, the company that typically overcharges for their products is not JBL. Well at least now anyway (they may have before). It's Bose. For example their Soundlink Revolve+ speakers last time I checked cost double that of the Charge 5, and for that money you could get 2 Charge 5's to equal 1 Soundlink Revolve+, and have PartyBoost enabled.

[@tundertony9513]

9:20 song name please ?

[@jdmvette]

Hodgetwins theme 😂

[@BryanG830]

Don't hate on the JBL bass. It all depends on the song. Because I was listening to this one rap song I've heard plenty times and I was amazed on how much bass it had and how well the bass sound. It almost sounded like it was coming from somebody's car stereo subs but I was the only car around for miles. Cuz I live out in the country. I was the only house for many miles as well. And this was only at 50% volume. I'm actually very impressed with the JBL's quality of sound with the highs mids and the lows. I dropped my speaker eight times total even from shoulder height and I'm 5'10. And the speaker has no dents not even a scratch to be honest with you. So I could understand why the JBL charge 5 is 180 bucks and it's worth the money because I dropped it eight times two of them were from soldier height and like I said it has no scratches no dents and it still plays really good. Although it doesn't have 20 hours of playing time at 50% volume and it definitely don't have 8 hours of playing time at 100%. But if I use the JBL's USB type-c charger to charge it it does charge it very quickly surprisingly. I'm not hating on my speaker I love it 100%. And you can control the bass and treble the JBL speaker. You can use the JBL app. It's called the JBL Portable. That's the name of the app and you push the little figure 8 button once you open the app and the app would communicate with the speaker and you can see the The battery level bar matches the speaker battery level bar. And it only has three of the presets one for highs one for mids and one for lows. And it even has the party mode feature on the JBL app.

[@BryanG830]

And the JBL app is even more amazing when you have two or more speakers paired up to each other that's when the app becomes badass and it sounds amazing. In the JBL speaker does get very loud too because I was playing basketball at a park and I had it right next to the basketball court closest to my car which was on the street and I heard it all the way from the restroom inside from like probably like a football field away. And I was surprised on how how loud it gets for stuff to small speaker. I want to get the more larger one. I don't even know what it cost but it looks exactly like the charge 5 just more larger that one also does not have a handle but it has a place where you can put a strap on it. I'm pretty sure that one has a hell of a lot more base and a hell of a lot more trouble and is a hell of a lot more louder than the charge five. So if the charge 5 can be heard on the other side of the park and could release that much treble and bassthen I'm kind of curious and anxious to see how the big one stacks up.
