JBL Charge 5 Wi-Fi

The JBL Charge 5 Wi-Fi (released in mid-2023) is an upgraded, "smart" version of the standard Charge 5. It retains the rugged, portable design of the original but adds high-fidelity Wi-Fi streaming and Self-Tuning capabilities, allowing it to function as both a high-end home speaker and a durable outdoor companion.

Key Features

• Wi-Fi & Bluetooth Connectivity: Stream via Wi-Fi 6 for high-resolution audio (including AirPlay 2, Chromecast built-in, Spotify Connect, and Alexa MRM) or switch to Bluetooth 5.3 when you're on the go.

• Automatic Self-Tuning: The speaker features built-in microphones that analyze the surrounding environment every time you turn it on, automatically optimizing the EQ for the best possible sound in that specific space.

• Powerful JBL Original Pro Sound: Delivers a 40W total output (30W woofer + 10W tweeter) with dual pumping passive radiators. The Wi-Fi version offers a slightly cleaner, more detailed soundstage compared to the standard Bluetooth model.

• Built-in Powerbank: True to the "Charge" name, it features a USB-A port that allows you to charge your smartphone or tablet directly from the speaker’s battery.

• Massive 20-Hour Battery: Offers up to 20 hours of playtime on a single charge. It also supports fast charging via its USB-C port.

• IP67 Waterproof & Dustproof: Completely submersible in water (up to 1 meter for 30 minutes) and fully protected against sand and dust, making it safe for the beach or poolside.
