    Very happy with my Charge 5. I’m not entirely sure how the durability would compare to a UE Boom with the Charge’s side woofers but the sound is pretty good and it doubles as a powerbank

    • rosebank on 13/12/2022 - 22:04
      +2

      I've own the Megaboom 3 (which I returned because I didn't like the sound) and Charge 5. I use the Charge 5 like a worksite radio building my workshop out back - saw dust, brick dust, paint, wet mortar, accidently dropped, all sorts of abuse. I hose it off once in a while and still going strong. Megaboom felt flimsy in comparison.

      • NuttyGoodness on 13/12/2022 - 22:08

        I have a mega boom 3 and that feels like a brick.

        The only part of the Charge 5 I was concerned about was if you got really unlucky and dropped it on a stick, I wonder if that would puncture the side woofer but I’m not going to be doing any testing of my own lol

        • rosebank on 13/12/2022 - 22:14

          Yeah, the sidewoofers are the only weak spot, but the rubber is pretty thick and it's reasonably protected.

          What's your opinion of the sound quality of MB3 v JBL C5?

          • NuttyGoodness on 13/12/2022 - 22:43

            @rosebank: I really should do a side by side but off the top of my head the JBL. I use the mega boom in the shower in a holder made out of a hair dryer hanger and the JBL when I’m out at the basketball courts so hard to get a one to one comparison

    • jarrod on 14/12/2022 - 08:48

      Ditto to this comment. The sound is quite decent, I personally have found it enough even for small outdoor events, and it definitely fills a large room with sound easily. Also the battery seems to last quite a while from my personal use.

  • TimR31 on 13/12/2022 - 20:21

    Already have a Charge 5, love the big sound. Night and day better than our old UE Boom 2.

      Charge 5, it's like triple the size of my Flip 4. I don't think the Flip 6 would be much larger than the 4.

    Certified bargain

    I got a Charge 5 a few months ago (mentioned it when another JBL product was highlighted on OZB back in October), I paid $159, $125 is an absolute steal. The speaker isn't small (yet it's not big either) but the sound is enormous. Can really irritate the neighbours lol.

    • lenspizza on 13/12/2022 - 23:07

      Look for a bluetooth FM transmitter. Sites in your 12v socket, connects to your phone via bluetooth, plays audio to your car via FM. Usually with buttons for play/pause/next/back, and USB sockets to charge your phone.

    • PinzVidz on 14/12/2022 - 02:32

      What year/make/model car? Reason I ask is there might even be cheaper options to get BT streaming/calls in the car.

      • mauricem on 14/12/2022 - 11:02

        Its for an 06 Subaru outback, no aux in unfortunately and no standard din to swap out the head unit. Its basically a backup car so not frequently used or worth spending $ on. I've used the BT to FM transmitters in the past and found them problematic but yeah maybe I should have another look at options.

        • PinzVidz on 14/12/2022 - 11:55
          +1

          Ah damn, yes no standard DIN.There are fascia kits available for the upper section between the vents, but that won't be economical.

          How good's your soldering skills? There's a YT video of a guy adding an aux-in to an Outback (or Liberty/Legacy).

    Amazon seem to be price matching JB on the jbl range but without the extra 10%. Still could be worthwhile if you buy one of the cheaper ones and want it shipped for free (if you’re a prime member)

      Great deal. You will not regret, as long as it does not need to be carried around too long.

      I have one of each, assuming they would pair up and play in stereo.

      They can both play simultaniously, but to play in stereo they need to be same speakers, so I ordered

      another charge 5 at this great price. The Extreme has deeper and louder bass, but I need portability too.

  • Baa on 14/12/2022 - 00:09

  • blaze on 14/12/2022 - 00:11

      The JBL range is very good audio wise especially for music. However, I can't fix the bluetooth delay issues for movies which seems to be a common problem for most Bluetooth speakers.

        • cynical17 on 14/12/2022 - 11:28

          There is a sound delay feature on sound bars but I can't find the same feature on Bluetooth speakers. It gets annoying when their mouths move first and the sound comes a second or two later. It's like those 1980s kung fu movies with the english dub lol

          • chickendog on 14/12/2022 - 16:46
            +1

            @cynical17: The issue is Bluetooth has an average processing delay of 200ms - it varies greatly between device to device, including being dependant on the source and device itself. But 200ms is about the average.

            To fix the lip sync issue you'd need to somehow delay your video source (TV, projector or whatever it is)
            This is quite rare in these devices and often the delay setting is for the audio which isn't going to help you in this case…

            This is because usually the video is the longest thing to process, so delaying the audio output helps sync it up.

            So ultimately unless you can delay your video to match the lengthy bluetooth delay you're out of luck using bluetooth devices…
            A 'hack' might be to enable more video options on your TV to process the video, as this adds more processing delay, however we usually turn stuff off for a better picture (and lower input lag) :D

          • Miss B on 14/12/2022 - 21:28
            +1

            @cynical17: My Chromecast (4k with TV) with Charge 5 seems to be going well. It could well be out by up to the average of 200ms mentioned by chickendog, but at a guess it's less than that.

            I did have the effect mentioned when I tried to pair a projector with a different bluetooth speaker, I would guess it was out by 1-2secs and it was difficult to watch. This isn't noticeable to me and when I was watching carefully it seemed near spot on. I'm pretty happy with it, so I'll stick with the Charge 5.
