Battery is WACK

Sound great but battery is wack. Advertised as lasting as least 10 hours and can’t even last 4. I would save my money and buy a different speaker. I am not using the light feature either, so I have no idea why it’s not lasting the time it should. Very disappointed.
Customer Support - 26 days ago
Thank you for sharing your feedback on our JBL Go 5. The published up-to-playtime of our speaker is up to 10 hours which is the maximum battery time you will get when listening at background levels. As you turn up the volume, the playtime will be reduced, much like a phone battery when you brighten the screen. The same goes for source material. Music with more bass will also reduce playtime. It is possible that the battery is working correctly, but depletes more quickly when the volume is very loud and/or the bass has been boosted. Please try to charge the battery to 100% and then listen to music without any bass boosted, and at a low volume. If the battery lasts close to the published up-to-playtime, the battery is working fine. However, if you get less than 90% of the published spec, this likely means that the battery is losing its capacity. We invite you to contact our customer support for further assistance.jbl.com Originally posted on jbl.com

No issues, easy to set up, and the portability is great. I like the fun color and durability looks. Sound is what you’d expect from a small unit, but I really enjoy it.

For the size, the speaker is awesome and being able to use two in stereo is pretty cool. It’s much better than having a bunch of speakers all connected in mono. The fault right now is strictly in Bluetooth limited connection. Bluetooth will be what you struggle with especially if you want to have different devices use the speakers and different sources but you’ll figure out a way. I am sure that future Bluetooth is will improve its ability to switch gears.

Love the updated go. Sounds amazing, lights are a cool touch. Only wish they would do the sand and the black/teal/orange colors

Compared to the Go 4 it is very much better. The strap is much more flexible and can fit in tighter places easier and having a low battery sound notification makes it easier to start charging it instead of it just dying when you are busy. If you have the app you can permanently change how the lights are and just be off when you are using it. It can still connect with the old Go 4 and it is as durably as well. For me it sounds a bit more clearer than the old one.
