I read the flashing process is a bit risky, but I tried it anyway and it worked just fine for me.

Great review, thank you! I have the three from 2016 and loved it for years but need to replace as developed a rattle. Watched loads of reviews but should have watched this first... So JBL increase the price but take away aux in, speaker phone, stereo and a bloody power brick, increase the logo and hype the price?? I bought the 5 and the sound is richer somehow and the low bass is lush but now thinking I need to return and get the motion +? One of my issues with the motion plus is that it looks fragile compared to the JBL? I have two young kids and the speaker is bound to get knocked around... Do you think the motion + can hack it?

So, Charge 5 vs 2 x flip 5's, same wattage, similar price with good timing, but how does the sound compare given you can widen the sound stage with 2 smaller speakers? I've gotta im actually really impressed with the flips paired in stereo and 2 x boomboxes is just comically bassy when they're positioned just right.

That’s kind of the trend I have also noticed with the JBL speakers. The flip 4 still holds ground with its stereo sound, the flip 5 is pretty dated with its single driver and the flip 6 is great too with its double driver setup. The charge is the same story. I personally hated the single driver and no tweeter, relying on all the frequency range to come from one relatively small driver.

The Charge 5 totally reminds me of the Xtreme 3's sound signature. Havent A-B'ed both charts side by side but totally sounds very similiar. Past generation JBLs usually rolled off earlier in the higher spectrum around 18khz, they seem to be fixing this problem with all the new ones. Sometimes it works, like the PB300 vs 310, sometimes it doesnt, as we can see here. Guess it works better with bigger and not smaller speakers. Also, deeper bass is always a welcomed addition! Another great one Alan!!!

Awesome review. I am now waiting for my 2'nd motion boom, I am really curius how they sounds in stereo. I have 2 Sony xb40 that i use as go to speakers for partys around the camp fire, as they are desent sounding and pak some punch, and they are pretty compact so plenty of room for lager in the backpack. So now I just have to see if the bigger bass and clearer sound of the "boom" is worth sacrifise some lager and bier for, as they are kind of bulkier with the handle and the bigger body, time will tell 😜

Bass-up mode on the motion plus is terrible. It's hurting ones ears. Go with a decent custom setting, it will have much better quality bass and a much more enjoyable frequency response. Check Alan's settings, or check the custom settings of oluv. These make the motion+ shine like never before. It's amazing! Just never press that bass up button ever again - you'll need the app to set it back to custom.

I agree that it sounds as if JBL finally fixed the Charge 3 by creating and bass enhancing the Charge 5. JBL should be careful in what they charge for their speakers. A couple of years ago I had sold my Charge 3 about a year later I picked up a Soundcore Motion+. If one is only comparing the sound quality, in my opinion the Motion+ easily outshines the Charge 5 and gets much louder for a $100 price tag. Thanks for this wonderful review 👍

Hey Alan! Thanks for the review, well done as always! Question: what I have realized with all other and older JBL Speakers that I could get a hold on is: if you listen to them off-axis - on the sides of the speakers - (eg on a 45 degree angle left) they lose quality massively, much more and quicker than other speakers. They become really unbalanced and muddy. What's your experience with the new charge? I mean, if your listening with a group of people, most people can't listen to it facing it straight in front of them. So the sound from an angle is quite important for these speakers and that has been my biggest complain about the JBLs, apart from the missing detail, because on an angle they just sounded horrible, whereas straight from the front they were... OKish.
@alanrossreviews 3 жыл бұрын
it isnt terrible, maybe 75 degrees off axis you lose all the highs. from 90 degrees its all base

I got the charge 3 and 4 actually Charge 3 first Bluetooth speaker when I got my charge 4 yea I enjoy the deeper bass and the more mature sound but I missed the High end the stereo separation and especially the loudness yesh that took a mean hit so most of my questions have been answered Charge 5 is much louder than the Charge 4 deeper bass even tho on paper it's less I just wish it was stereo with a much lower price tag good God almighty that's why I don't have the Xtreme 3 to much for what it is but hopefully I can catch the charge 5 and Xtreme 3 on sale the only partyboost speaker I got is the Boombox 2 so I have to upgrade and do reviews but overall fantastic video my mom even laugh when you was imitating the kids naggin😅

it cant produce more bass, the drivers are too small and already distorts when pushed. i have a video that will show the relative bass between them. the motion plus in custom is much louder than charge 5, in fact even the xb33 in custom is louder.

@@alanrossreviews i haven't heard the new ones. I really wish they would've just stayed with the charge 3 design, it would've been great. But, not all upgrades are good. In my opinion, they should've stayed with more speakers. The new speaker that they put in there isn't very good speaker. To me they are a glorified TV speaker. They use the same speakers in tvs.

I really love your videos and bought a sony srs xb 43 after watching your reviews. I watch your videos almost daily even if I'm not looking to buy anything. But i don't understand when you use terms like upper bass, deep bass, lower bass, punchy bass etc. KZfaq and even google isn't helping either. So can anyone explain these terms to me? Because all I've found are videos explaining what frequencies bass, mids and treble belong to, but noting about upper bass, lower bass, deep bass etc.
@alanrossreviews 3 жыл бұрын
In my videos i consider upper bass 100-200 hz, mid bass 65-100 hz and deep bass 30-65 hz. I dont measure below 30hz for these type of speakers normally because for most below that is so rolled off its just noise. Consider subwoofers are normally used at around 80hz and below. Kick drums dont go below 40hz.
