JBL Charge 5 Wi‑Fi is a rugged, tube‑style stereo portable speaker that brings powerful sound and Wi‑Fi connectivity to parties and everyday listening.

The Charge 5 Wi‑Fi delivers a combined RMS output of 40 W with a 30 W woofer and a 10 W tweeter, producing clear highs and punchy lows across a frequency range of 60–20,000 Hz. The speaker’s single‑speaker design is optimized for balanced stereo performance from a compact tube form.

Connectivity is flexible: this model supports Wi‑Fi for network streaming as well as Bluetooth 5.1 (2.4–2.4835 GHz) with 8DPSK, DQPSK and GFSK modulation and up to 20 dBm transmitter power. A USB Type‑C port enables charging and USB connectivity, and a USB Type‑C cable is included in the box.

Built for outdoor use, the Charge 5 Wi‑Fi features waterproof protection and a robust black tube design that measures 223 × 97 × 94 mm and weighs 1 kg, making it easy to carry to the beach or park. The long‑lasting 14,100 mAh LiPo battery delivers up to 20 hours of playtime and recharges in about 6 hours (7.5–15 W required via USB‑C).

Setup is straightforward with the included quick start guide, warranty card and safety sheet. There’s no 3.5 mm AUX in or built‑in microphone, and the speaker does not include an AC adapter, so plan to charge with a USB‑C PD‑capable charger if you want faster charging within the stated power range.

Typical use cases include all‑day outdoor gatherings, portable DJ sets for small events, smartphone streaming at home, and multi‑room listening over Wi‑Fi when you want stable, high‑quality playback. Its waterproofing and compact tube silhouette also make it well suited for poolside or travel use.

40 W RMS (30 W woofer + 10 W tweeter) for powerful, balanced sound
Wi‑Fi plus Bluetooth 5.1 for versatile wireless streaming
14,100 mAh battery for up to 20 hours of playback
