Hello friends 👋 thank you for all the likes, kind words and support 😊 JBL released a new updated version of the Charge 5 check out my review here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rcqFZMRzqLatkY0.html

Thank you! My son dropped his while on a skateboard. The tweeter disassembled, but using this video I was able to fix it. Happy teen, hero dad.

This is fascinating. I just got one of these and my very mechanical and engineering minded 4 year old mildly autistic son is OBSESSED with it. He loves it and really wanted to see how it works on the inside. Thank you. He will be so happy.

It's a 2-way speaker of a dual passive radiator design. That's the key to getting big sound out of tiny enclosures. The passive radiator have metal weights and the inertia of the weights provide the damping that the drivers need. The battery is just a triple pack of 18650 batteries which seem to all have their own leads to the board.

The first entertaining teardown in my life. Nice

Great job JBL, they hired good audio engineers.

Incredible teardown! It was extra neat that you plugged the amplifier of the little Bluetooth speakers into some real floor standing speakers, so cool!

What a great teardown and re-assembly! Such useful info and tests, plus frankensteining the Charge 5 to the large speaker was quite entertaining and telling. Thanks!

I watched this listening through the exact same JBL Charge 5, had mine for 4 months now and I absolutely love it, the sound is amazing and the battery lasts forever.. even after it had charged my dead mobile phone too! Thanks for the teardown, saved me doing it eventually lol

I was dumbfounded when the JBL had the power to actually power that large tower speaker

I just bought one..seeing the breakdown I'm even more impressed on how they got such a big sound out of those 2 tiny drivers! 150 USd well spent

I thought this was a regular tear down video, but after you powered that Warfdale tower, and you used the Hifi player, I'm so impressed! You have way more knowledge about what you're doing than I initially expected to come across, and I hope your channel grows and gains more recognition! You've really earned my subscription today. I enjoyed this video. All the best 😁

I love JBL. You always get more than you pay for, I don't give a fuck what anyone says, I've used them for 20+ years and they are fantastic!

When it comes to speakers, I will always go with JBL, it's nearly impossible to go wrong with JBL brand speakers from my experience.

Eye opening video especially when you powered the tower speakers! Love your work.

Who’s playing this through the JBL Charge 5?

Thank you so much! thanks to this video I was able to fix my charge 5. I damaged the usb c charge bit due to charging my speaker with water still inside the usb c port and not realising. You didn't take that bit apart in this video but your video gave me the confidence to want to repair it. Mission Success. I hit the subscribe cuz big respect mate. Saved me having to buy a new one👍

Great very educational I'm considering buying this model Thank you 😊

Thats basically how i started building my own boxes: take broken bluetooth speaker boards and reuse them. But very powerful. Didnt expect the amp to power the other box that well

I can see my self buying two of these and then disassembling the speakers and connecting each one to a Kicker motorcycle 2 channel speaker pod that has no amp built in and then adding it to my electric kick scooter. This was the best Teardown video i have ever seen. I am subscribed now.

Very good filming. Thank you for the video

Impressive video. Thank you for this breakdown.....two thumbs up for this producer.....

Really good video. What did you shoot it on? The shots of the speaker on the desk? Cause if this was shot on a phone it looks incredible

Super awesome video, this should be a series called: (Shak's Teardown's) 😎👌

Amazing. I bought it just yesterday and i saw its inside structure.. thanks ❤

Wow! You're really amazing! I've subscribed too! Thanks to your wonderful tear down review, I'm now really happy to own this lovely JBL Charge 5!

Thanks for this great info! Got mine today and I'm loving it!

Great job buddy! I appreciate everything you showed!

Mate i love your video I'm about to buy this speaker and your video came up, enjoyed the way you tested the speaker sound, good job. Thanks

Just had a thought after seeing this, but would it be stupid to get one of these and hydrodip the casing for a cool pattern?? 🤔

Thumbs up. Nice job. I appreciate the work you did to make this video. 🙂

Those JBL speakers are impressive with their powerful bass response, I was also impressed to see that the audio amplifier in the speaker was able to drive that tower speaker, probably wouldn't be a good idea to leave that speaker connected to it for a long period of time as it would fry the output stage of the audio amplifier.....

Great video, very informative just bought a charge 5 yesterday great BT SPEAKER. 👍

Seeing you hook this up to the Warfendale tower speaker was an epic event! I was so excited, I called my wife over to watch this feat happen. One of the most amazing things you could ever expect to see from a bluetooth speaker.

Pretty impressive powering the large speaker. Good job

Thank you for opening it up, definitely going to buy one.

I always like to know how a speaker is put together. Great teardown video. Any idea who makes the actual driver/tweeter as there were no identifiable markings on these parts. I would have expected a "Harman" stamp. For me, yes the enclosure and board are important, but equally so is the quality of the drives. Cheers.

Great sound and deep base, I moved my echo plus in the the master bathroom with dots in all of the other rooms inside my 1600sq home. With my open floor plan the studio encompasses the whole first floor in sound on about 70% volume. When I open a window to the rear of the house I can hear it clearly while out grilling.

Nice to see something like this being serviceable

I was impressed that you could run a full blown traditional speaker with out an amplifier.

Wow I always wondered how it looks on the inside, and now I'm wondering if the speaker is still waterproof after the reassembling ? and I didn't saw how the radiators are moved ?

I can't afford a speaker like this one, and you're just disassembling a good working one. OMG. Let me wipe my tears.

Nice work man...you deserve a subscribe

Nice to know the batery can be replaced fairly easily, and with better components. Also, maybe disconnecting the USB charger, and waterproofing the compartment, I don't think that part is waterproofed.

Nice job on the opening of the speaker and the knowledge that you have regarding it

Outstanding video and review!!!

How are you rating the durability of the side silicone bumpers? I dropped mine into a metal scap pile and cut deep into the bumper.....one hour after i got it. Good video, I searched for it so interpret if it't durable inside, but i guess so.

When you disassemble the speaker, and then reassemble it, it loses its protection to the water?

How it's built, but in reverse! Genius!

Very informative and great 👍 filming, thanks 🙏 for the fantastic video.

Great video big up🤗

Nice video. Greetings from Jamaica.

Thanx for this. The tweeter on my son's C5 fell out or its frame & into the cavity behind. I had to fish it out & reglue it back in place. This vid really helped. 👍

Powering the Wharfedale 10.5 cones with the JBL Charge 5 was amazing to watch 👌👌👍. Excellent video

great vid keep it up!

What's type of the media u use for playing music?? Can u share the brand of that electric 🪛??

Can you upgrade twitter and subwoofer for bigger and more poweful ones?

Hi, was fixed the issue with low level signal mute the sound ?

Is it still waterproof when it's put back together, or does it loose its waterproof seal once opened

Hi Shak, great video. Wonder if you could do one for a w-king x10. Its similar to the jbls by design but let down by a poor battery...thanks

Absolutely awesome. Thank you for sharing your video..💙💙

Cheers for the video and the yellow and white wires are the earth cables

I'd like to replace the original case of my Charge 5 with another one that is not waterproof and lets the sound come out without being smothered. But I could not find any unofficial case like the ones I need that can be purchased on the Web. Does anyone have any suggestion?

Excellent video, you do an outstanding job!

I was trying like that with radios tv's and often the amp is burning down! I dont sugest nobody connect anything bigger then its made on! 👍

This is awesome!!

Just great, well done 👍

I have been down this road. I have spent, with no exaggeration, at least 50 hours in total looking into what is the difference. Ok, I'll sum it up as quickly as I can. JBL has 2 manufacturing companies. One in China and the other in Vietnam. The ones made in China use inferior parts in comparison to Vietnam however it really depends on what kind of sound you want. China's has better highs, sometimes too high for the average listener, and the ones from Vietnam have better lows. Now I'm not saying that there is a huge difference but if you listen to r&b rap reggae you would most likely go with the ones from Vietnam. If you like rock, jazz etc you would most likely want to go with the ones from China. OR do what i did. I got one gray ND, Vietnam, and one dark blue TT from China. The sound that I got was truly unbelievable. I had the best of both. Keep in mind this was back in June of 2023. The original ND was the one to go for if you wanted bass but the mids and highs suffered so they updated it and made the NT (Vietnam). If you care about having parties IN the rain or IN the pool then the Chinese ones have better waterproofing. You can look at the box and tell where it's made I believe. If not then it's DEFINITELY on the inside where the charging port is on the rubber seal (inside). I hope this helps anyone who is looking to buy. Also, keep in mind that if you have the money you can buy several and check them out for yourself. Most places have a 30 day return policy. At the end of the day after going NUTS I got 2. Something else, I put two on each side of me in my living room each one about 1 feet apart and when the sound hit the wall directly behind me it reflected to the front of the room. I could have sworn that there was a 3rd speaker in the middle. Watching movies and playing games sounded immersive. Like 3D. BTW, the colors don't matter. They used to help determine which speaker came from where but nowadays there's black ND's where it used to be all TT TL etc. Don't hold me to this but I'm thinking that the N's are vietnamese and the T's are chinese. My work is done here. ✌️

Yellow and white wires are for the bms( battery management system) it needs 4 wires to function)

does the JBL charge 5 have built in microphone for phone calls ?

Awesome Vid! Thank you! 💖💖

Excellent information

Watching this en mi cell and new charge 5.. INCREDIBLE.. 😎😁

What model do you have? ND, TT or TL?

Thank you. I've only had mine a few days....great little speaker but not perfect.

Anyone know how to tighten the underneath part where he initially opened it? I bought mine and that exact part is kind of loose unlike on the other end or in the video.

Available in 4k My phones signal: nah bruh

do more videos like this its interesting

I can't update through the official application, is there any option to flash the firmware via USB cable and PC?

Actually my jbl charge 5's body febric is damaged so from where i can fix it or buy the body febric??

urs the best video on product review, how they are made. just explain how the water proof works na... ty

whats the device you played the music with?

does it sound better with the outer shell off?

The yellow wire is usually NTC temperature sensor. Nice teardown by the way

This actually looks pretty well put together, not unlike my Xtreme 2! More hi-fi than the others, which did not go high enough. This is definitely a more balanced sound. The tweeter, by the way, has screws under that foam ring. Pretty easy. Edit: apparently I hadn’t watched it through. You figured out the foam ring. The amplifier sure sounds good through that super expensive tower speaker, while it also gives an idea of just how powerful those original drivers are!

Hi there, I luv your review.i got one charge 5 too. And its cool . Superb. But im kind of interesting about your media player. It look likes ipod or something. Can you share with us where where can we buy of found that? Tks

If the two on the end are supposed to be passive radiators shouldn’t the sub fire into the enclosure

Pliz tell me what is the name of your soldering iron

That was awesome 👌....fun to watch

When it comes to quality audio with ample watt hours, jbl is exceptional with affordable prices. Running off 3x 18650s it’s insane how long this small speaker can deliver crisp sound for hours on end. I believe some version in the past had dual (stereo) drivers and I’m looking to purchase it but I still couldn’t be happier with my jbl charge 4 (6 years old with thousands of hours played and hundreds of recharges) and never once had ANY issue with it. I’ve found myself wanting more but not from a lack of performance from my jbl charge 4, but wondering what is the best they can do. If anyone knows what version comes with dual (stereo) drivers, please reply!!

Sounds like it rattles after you put it back together?

Hi, may I ask what is the meaning of Race-Track Shaped Driver in JBL Charge 5 ? Thanks!

Lift the clips next time for the speakers ,the connector is a locking one ..and also that live coupling and decoupling is a destroy amp 101

I have a charge 3 and flip 4, both are a pain to change the battery, this looks much easier which is a nice change.

plz question, what is the device you were using to play the music???

Awesome found one at antique consignment shop

The yellow one is for distribution for power if u use as a power bank

Hey Shak congratulations on the awesome video, I just wanted to ask you about the battery operated handheld screwdriver. Which brand is it, and who sells it? I would love to add it to my tool arsenal. Thank you!

I have charge5 and it's video is helpfull for me

Excellent, you have a lot of patience!
