Go 5 Ultra-portable Waterproof Bluetooth Speaker

Brilliant piece of kit, don't be fooled by the size. Packs a mighty punch with great battery life. I had the Go3 which was already a great piece of kit but this upgrade together with the app and the option to customize for your surroundings is a brilliant addition. Great when you don't have much space or don't want a big speaker using up space. Packs the punch of a far bigger speaker. Great for use in kitchen, gardens, walking, at the park, pool tennis courts or even on the bike it's so portable and durable. 10/10

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love this little speaker. Has big sound and bass in a little size. The volume actually gets pretty loud for how small it is. The buttons are nice and tactful makes it easy to control either from the speaker or from the phone. The size is perfect it fits in my hand and I can control the buttons while holding it in just one hand. It connects very fast to the phone without any issues. This is a great speaker to take on hikes.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] JBL really packed everything they could into this Go 5! This speaker can actually fill a room with its sound with no distortion with some presence of mids and lows even with this tiny set up. Perfect for outdoor sporting events, clipping on a backpck for hiking, to keeping it bedside or at the office, this JBL Go 5 can handle it all thanks to its sleek and mordern design while also being very rugged handling decent drops and being IP68. Buttons as very clicky and would easily be able to use with gloves. With the JBL portable app, you can control the mini light show, the EQ, connect two of these together, get software updates, and use the playtime boost feature that adds 2 hours on top of the 8 hours this Go 5 already has normally! Essentially it adjusts lows and enhances mids and highs and has a little bit of a louder output. One thing to note, probably a one off but my packaging said I had a black JBL Go 5 but did receive a yellow one upon opening it up, which is not disappointing! JBL has always put out some great products and if you need a super portable speaker that still sounds and looks great this is the one for you!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The JBL Go 5 continues JBL’s heritage by evolving this palm sized powerhouse and adding smarter pairing, bigger sound and deeper bass. I own several of the previous Go models and love the rugged portability coupled with great sound. I listened to several genres so far on this speaker including rap, techno, ambient, pop and jazz while both indoor and outdoor. Indoor listening was as perfect as you would expect but outdoors is where the surprise factor came in. The power and range this speaker can deliver was outstanding considering you can fit it in your pocket! The highs and mids were definitely powerful enough while remaining clear and crisp while the bass delivery left me totally thrilled. Fans can now pair with another JBL Go 5 by simply bumping the speakers together for what JBL calls Air Touch stereo pairing. There is also Auracast which allows this speaker to pair with other JBL Auracast speaker models. This absolutely opens the door to multi-speaker setups beyond the Go 5’s size class. Other additions include ambient lights. You can change light patterns in the JBL portable app. The lighting also serves as visual cues for volume adjustment, low battery and pairing status to name a few. The app has preset and customizable EQ settings as well as Playtime Boost to help extend battery life which is rated at 8 hours plus two additional hours with Playtime Boost. Lossless connectivity is supported through USB-C cable and a lossless source. The Go 5 is dust and drop proof with a ip68 water proof rating which gave me peace of mind while hiking on the trails. The JBL Go 5 is truly one of the most rugged and versatile ultra-portable speakers on the market. It stretches far above its size with its sound and feature-rich capabilities. I can’t recommend this speaker enough for those wanting portability, compact footprint and customizable sound with easy connectivity.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this small speaker! Because it’s water resistant, I like hooking it on the inside of my shower curtain. It produces great sound quality, rivaling my slightly larger speakers - so it links up great with auracast to create stereo sound in smaller spaces. I also appreciate the little nubby feet to position the speaker flat if you want.
