"was smaller than the charge"
I own both Dummy.. they ARE the same in loudness, bass, and even quality. Nothing has changed on the wifi exept chromecast streaming and Dolby atmos (which is bullshit). They have the same driver layout, same battery, same charging speed, and they removed partyboost.. THEY ARE THE SAME SPEAKER.
r/JBL • Disappointed with Charge 5: Portable, But Not Worth the Price ->JBL Charge 5 Wifi would be a perfect choice for you since it has airplay and wifi streaming sounds way better than Bluetooth. Get it from Costco for cheap
r/Bluetooth_Speakers • Best bluetooth speakers for soft melody ? ->JBL Charge 5 Wifi. No other speaker comes close for the fidelity you get out of that size. Naysayers will tell you get to Flex 2 but trust me when I tell you it has weak sound. Very quickly runs out of steam about 50% volume and is overall 2/3rd the volume of Charge 5 Wifi
r/Bluetooth_Speakers • Best speaker for sound quality in a small bathroom ->Should have gotten Wifi version. It has a lot more headroom
r/JBL • Disappointed with Charge 5: Portable, But Not Worth the Price ->Charge 5 Wifi dummy. Read op’s post again. He said non-wifi version. You need to try it before claiming they are the same
r/JBL • Disappointed with Charge 5: Portable, But Not Worth the Price ->JBL Charge 5 WiFi. Having Bluetooth and wifi is great. Big sound but still compact.
r/Bluetooth_Speakers • Best bluetooth speakers for soft melody ? ->The very highly rated Marshall Acton 3 is the most balanced. I got it at for $179 Target clearance last week. It absolutely destroyed everything I had! (Soundcore x600, Bose Flex, Flip 6, Charge 5, Sony ULT Field 1, W-King 10). The bass is strong, right, deep, and the mids/highs doing get drowned out with volume. It's loud and even balanced across its volume range. This IS a speaker. The rest are toys that peter out with more volume
r/Bluetooth_Speakers • What is the most balanced sub $200 Bluetooth speaker? ->Soundcore Boom 2 is so much better than my charge 5. Charge 5 is the best among those 3 speakers though
r/Bluetooth_Speakers • Best Bluetooth Speaker 2024/2025 ->JBL (Charge specifically)
r/iphone • What’s everyone’s favorite portable speaker? ->I just use a JBL charge. Battery powered, easy to bring places. With units other than the digitakt that are usb powered you can use it to provide power as well.
r/Elektron • Budget speakers recommendations for Digitakt in 2024? ->The charge is a little louder with more low end
r/UPSers • Bluetooth Speakers, Flip 6 or Charge 5? ->The Charge has a bit more bass and volume vs Flip. Sony Ult 1 or 300 XE are nice items. I was able to try Ult 1; nice sound. Soundcore Glow, 300, 600 are good speakers too.
r/Bluetooth_Speakers • Bluetooth speaker for casual use ->Place it in a corner facing the room diagonally and it sounds much better. It's unfair to expect it to compare to something like a JBL charge (which I also have), but nothing beats that thing running all day on 1 bar of a 5Ah battery.
r/Dewalt • DCR010 Bluetooth Speaker ->You mean a bluetooth speaker? The JBL lineup is relatively cheap, with the most value for your money a charge, second-hand they go for 50-75 euro, I believe they are new around 100 euro. It's weight is about 1kg (2,5lb), so ideal for a stroll in the woods!
