If you already own a JBL Charge 4 or, for that matter, Charge 3, the JBL Charge 5 may not be worth it. However, the Charge 5 is a wonderful pick if you don't currently own a previous model. It looks like a deal with mind-blowing sound quality and a portable Bluetooth speaker. It also provides brilliant sound output power. So if you want a portable Bluetooth speaker, the Flip 5 model of JBL is an effectively tiny version of the same and is a really good option.
