Description

The JBL Charge 5 Red is a portable stereo speaker designed for outdoor and indoor use, delivering JBL Original Pro Sound through an optimized long-excursion driver, a separate tweeter and dual bass radiators. It offers up to 20 hours of playback and includes a built‑in powerbank to charge mobile devices. The speaker has an IP67 rating for waterproof and dustproof protection, PartyBoost for linking compatible speakers, and wired and wireless connectivity options suitable for Android and iOS devices.

Advantages

The speaker provides powerful, clear audio with a 30W RMS equivalent output using a 10.2 cm woofer and a 2 cm tweeter, enhanced by dual pumping JBL bass radiators for deeper low frequencies. Long battery life of up to 20 hours supports extended use, while the integrated powerbank lets you charge phones and other devices. IP67 dustproof and waterproof protection allows use at the pool, beach or in light rain. PartyBoost enables pairing with other JBL PartyBoost-compatible speakers for stereo sound or larger setups.

Suitable for

  • Outdoor gatherings and parties
  • Beach, poolside and park use
  • Portable home listening and small events
  • Charging mobile devices on the go

How to use

Charge the speaker fully before first use using the supplied cable. Power on and pair via Bluetooth with your Android or iOS device, or connect via a wired input if available.

Use the built‑in powerbank port to charge phones and other USB-powered devices while the speaker is on or off.
