Review the latest model of portable Bluetooth speaker "JBL CHARGE 5"!

Recent smartphone games have elaborate music. Just listening to the game's BGM reminds me of the content of the story and the accidents during the battle, and I'm immersed in it. Some smartphone games have a BGM playback function, so you can listen to your favorite music whenever you want! ……But the sound quality of a smartphone is not enough! I want to listen carefully to game music with better sound quality! Good news for you. The latest model of the portable Bluetooth speaker "CHARGE" series "JBL CHARGE 5" has been announced by the global audio maker "JBL"! It was released on May 21, 2021 (Friday), and this time, Harman International provided us with the pre-release "JBL CHARGE 5"! thank you very much! I opened it right away, so I would like to deliver the situation!

A cool package that emphasizes waterproofing!

The squad color "JBL CHARGE 5" introduced this time looks cool! As you can see from the package picture, "JBL CHARGE 5" is not only waterproof, but also dustproof! You can enjoy music not only in kitchens and other wet areas, but also in places where dust is a concern, such as parks and gardens.

On the back side, the features of "JBL CHARGE 5" are briefly summarized. Among them, the most eye-catching is that it can be played for a long time of 20 hours! It's a powerful model that can be played almost all day...

On the side, you mentioned a feature called "JBL PartyBoost". If you connect speakers that support the "JBL PartyBoost" function, you can play music on multiple speakers all at once. You can connect multiple speakers to enjoy stereo sound, or you can use it when you want to play background music in a place where many people gather.

The upper part of the box has been processed to look like a squad color motif! You can feel the commitment of JBL. Let's open it right away!

The packaging is also polite and solid!

When I opened the lid, I saw an embarrassing picture with the words "PLAY AND CHARGE ENDLESSLY" popping out! It's a good photo that perfectly appeals that it can be used outdoors. ……dazzling.

At the top of the box was a small box containing the included items. The letters "CHARGE5" are casually embossed, making it very stylish.

The speaker is neatly wrapped in a protective cover and packaged. By the way, the bottom of the box is thick, and the dent that matches the shape of the speaker firmly grips the speaker. You can see the attention to detail in ensuring that the speakers are not damaged by shaking during delivery.

Finally meet the speaker

The items inside are as follows.

...The form is really cool...! It has an overwhelming presence just by putting it on. It's lighter than I expected, even though it feels like it's packed inside. It's about the size of a 500ml PET bottle, so it's easy to carry around. The size is about the size of a 500ml plastic bottle that is one size thicker. Below the JBL logo is a gauge that shows the remaining battery level. Since it can be played continuously for 20 hours, it seems that you can continue using it for a while even if it is reduced by about half.

At the top of the speaker, there is a power button, a Bluetooth icon, buttons for volume adjustment, pause/play, and a button for the "JBL PartyBoost" function. The buttons are all grouped together at the top so you can easily operate them with one hand.

There is a charging port for the speaker on the back. The color of the terminal is the same orange as the non-slip. The combination with the squad color is stylish and numb. "Simple is best" is a common phrase, but it's really cool.

By the way, when you open this CHARGE tab, there is a USB terminal inside. You can connect your smartphone here and charge it. This is convenient! Even when the lid is closed, it feels "sealed" properly. It will prevent water and dust from entering.

On the side is the "!", which is also found in the JBL logo.

Here's the safety sheet, quick start guide, and warranty card. The safety sheet suddenly started with an English page, so I was confused, but when I looked carefully, there was a page written in Japanese. Rest assured.

You explain how to use mainly illustrations. Easy to understand!

This is the cable for charging the speaker itself. The spout is orange and stylish!

The JBL logo is well engraved, giving it a luxurious feel.

Let's listen to music immediately

Since the JBL CHARGE 5 audio device has a very stylish visual, you are very curious about the sound quality. On the official site...

It says... Well, anyway, if you don't listen to the sound quality, you won't know.

So switch on!・・・ Duttung ♪ The speaker started up with a light start-up sound! The Bluetooth icon on the top of the speaker flashes, and SE sounds like searching for a connection destination. This "JBL CHARGE 5" seems to be used by connecting terminals such as smartphones via Bluetooth, so I will prepare my personal iPhone 7 Plus. It was model several years ago, but was able to be connected without problem.

The battery was receiving power until it was full. It looks like you can use it as soon as it arrives!

Now let's play some music. Use the BGM playback function of your favorite smartphone game to listen! ……………………The music reaches your ears clearly! You can realize again that "BGM of this story was so good". Would it be better to say that you will be able to hear sounds and instruments that you have been ignoring until now? Of course, I think it's because I'm concentrating on listening to music, so I can hear it clearly, but even so, listening to memorable songs with good sound quality is even more impressive. It feels more special than I expected to hear the sound that used to come from my smartphone or earphones coming from a stationary speaker. It seems that it can be used instead of BGM for work and study. Oh, come to think of it, I don't have to touch my smartphone every time I operate the music, so I don't have to worry about losing my concentration. Adjust the volume and play/pause from the top button. I was able to control the music smoothly with no noticeable lag.

I was able to charge my smartphone with the USB port on the back of the speaker. It looks like it can be used as a replacement for a mobile battery in an emergency!

A cool and practical portable speaker!

How was it? The explanation of the function and visual has become the majority, but I think that you can not experience this good sound quality unless you listen to it live. The size and weight are handy, the battery has a large capacity of 20 hours, and above all, it's an honor student speaker that can even charge your smartphone! Such a wonderful "JBL CHARGE 5" is currently accepting reservations for 16,280 yen on the official website. There are 5 color variations: black, red, gray, blue, and the squad that we introduced this time.

Also, JBL seems to be carrying out a "Let's buy speakers and win! Music is power. Gift campaign"! "JBL CHARGE 5" is also included in this campaign, so if you are interested, please check the official Twitter!
