We appreciate your feedback. Our JBL Charge 5 battery life may vary depending on volume and music content. If the speaker doesn't meet the advertised playtime hours even at low to mid-volume levels, there could be a problem with the battery of the unit. Also, without walls for sound waves to bounce off, your speakers will lose sound frequencies in an open space. Because you aren't enclosed in a room, audio may sound quiet, washed out, and you may miss some audio details.jbl.com Originally posted on jbl.com

We're here to help with your JBL Flip 5. Please check if the feedback tone is audible when turning the speaker on and off. If the feedback tone is not audible, proceed to performing a factory reset by pressing and holding the volume up (+) and play buttons simultaneously for 3 seconds until the unit turns off. If the feedback tone is audible, please try connecting to a different source to see if it fixes the problem. Sometimes a Bluetooth connection can become corrupt. Please try to forget/unpair the speaker on your device and do a manual pairing by pressing the Bluetooth button on your JBL Flip 5. On your source device, tap on "JBL Flip 5" to connect. If the issue is still not resolved, the last thing to try is a reset. If the issue persists, please contact our customer support.jbl.com Originally posted on jbl.com

Hello! May I ask that Will the speaker get damaged if I continue to play it at 100% volume? Because I usually use it while I am practicing the drum, so I need my JBL Charge 5 plays at 100% volume with EQ settings to mid and high maximum. Thank you.
Thanks for your inquiry. Setting the volume and the EQ to its maximum level may pose a risk to your JBL Charge 5, particularly when playing audio that is already bass-boosted. This can lead to distortion or rattling, potentially damaging the speaker's driver. Similarly, playing louder songs with the bass set to maximum may also pose a risk. Alternatively, you can still adjust the bass in the EQ and experiment with playing loud or bass-boosted songs. However, it's important to monitor for any signs of distortion or rattling. If you encounter these issues, adjust the settings until the sound is clean and meets your expectations for a satisfying listening experience.

authentic vs counterfeit charge 5 and is theer difference between GG, TL, CS versions?
Thanks for your inquiry. Our GG, TL, and CS models come from different production centers i.e. different suppliers to fulfill the production capacity but the product specification should be the same. Products from different suppliers are just having different execution in the design but the quality should be identical. To know if your product is authentic or counterfeit, you may reach out to us, so we can check it for you.

How do you sink multiple devices together
This speaker does not sync with other JBL speakers. ~Jesse
Msgt Vern . Mar 22, 2024
Love the speaker and app. I have worn out my charge 3 and now happily own a 5. My only complaint is why does the app not allow you to turn the speaker on remotely?
We hear you. To control our JBL Charge 5 it must be connected first to the device and the JBL Portable App. It can be turned off by the app but you'll have to turn it on manually. As of right now, that is not a feature but we appreciate your feedback and will forward this along to the appropriate teams. If you need more help with the unit, please contact our customer support.
Question . Dec 28, 2023
How many speakers can you connect by wifi from one computer?
The JBL Charge 5 uses Bluetooth to connect with devices. For how many Bluetooth connections your computer supports, you'd need to consult with the PC's manufacturer. -John

What is the temperature range for the Charge 5?
