Not a bad speaker
on December 22, 2022
Posted by: GmanBam

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Nice appearance with decent sound. The lights are nice addition as a center piece for any table. Set up is easy and straightforward. Everything in total makes a nice speaker. The only downside is the lake of deep bass. I have smaller less expensive Bluetooth speaker that way outperforms this pulse 5 in the bass category. That and the cost are the only reasons for the four 4 stars. If the bass was improved and price reduced this would be an awesome speaker.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Best Pulse Yet!!!!
on November 28, 2023
Posted by: Anonymous
from Boston, MA
Just received my JBL pulse 5 a few days ago and let me just say wow from opening the box to actually using it, it has blown me away. Having the pulses 1-5 and to see how far they have come its truly incredible. The light show is unreal also awesome how they added the lights on the bass. The app is easy to use with a lot of cool newer options! Having the strap gives you the ability to place this pulse anywhere ! I currently have it on my Christmas tree lol and I have a lot of friends and people that follow me on social media nonstop talking about my newest speaker. Great addition to the collection and the best one yet ! Highly suggest getting one ITS WORTH IT !!!!!!

Unbelievably Great Product - Highly Recommend
on December 16, 2022

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This speaker truly is an incredible product. From the first moment out of the box and every single test or experience exceeded expectations.
From a sound standpoint alone, the range is very impressive. Testing throughout a variety of ranges, from classical to rap, the treble maintains clarity at all volumes and the bass is never so heavy to affect or influence the quality. Cranking the speaker to full volume yielded similarly impressive results. The sound could easily be heard from across the street in a residential neighborhood with the door closed.
The light show, while it wasn't initially an appealing factor, is really cool. Paired with the waterproof feature, the speaker is great by the hot tub (although it's easy to let the volume get carried away!)
App integration is actually one of my favorite features for the speaker. As soon as the app is downloaded, you can set a variety of different features including: light color and speed, equalizer preferences, and even integrate ambient sound for a neat sleep feature.
Overall, this speaker is fun with outstanding features and while the price point is on the higher end of the spectrum, it certainly delivers on performance!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Easy to use product. Sound is great and the display and colors are great to help set the mood. Love the ability to customize colors based on the setting. My 6 year old wanted to use it as soon as she saw it.

Mini 360 Light Show
on December 19, 2022
Posted by: ebick929ley
from Akron, OH
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The speaker can definitely be the center of attention of any small gathering. It has 360 lighting and even a mini small woofer on the bottom for a little extra bass. I am not a fan of how many unintentional finger prints you see on the speaker but it has many different light options to suit any music vibe. Also, the speaker is heavier than I expected and the handle on the side is a bit awkward. I can only fit up to 3 fingers to carry which can make it hard to transport from room to room especially if you have your hands full. It would be better if they made it larger to wrap around a wrist for transport. The battery life is great like all other JBL products.

Great way to visualize sound & that Bass!
on December 22, 2022
Posted by: Vineet
from Dallas, TX
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I can't stop looking at it while the music is playing, it is a great way to visualize sound. The bass gives the thump & visual gives it a great sensory! Lights are stealing the show, but that doesn't mean the sound is any less. It is a physics marvel how this full sound is coming from the speaker this size.

Great Object to Set the Vibe
on December 24, 2022
Posted by: Top_Gear_Fanboy
from Virginia, USA
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This thing is pretty great for what it is. The lighting effects are actually really great and it really does give the effect of a floating orb inside of a clear case. It has some truly cool visuals but im not entirely sure that the effect is worth the cost. The sound is really great though and even though it does sound a lot better inside than outside because of the upward firing driver I think it makes a great portable speaker. My only complaints would be that the clear outer shell is a fingerprint and scratch magnet and somehow they made a portable speaker without volume and play/pause buttons. I feel like that was a major oversight but everything the speaker does itself it does a great job with.

A fun portable party speaker
on December 31, 2022
Posted by: akshaybestha
from Irving,TX
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This JBL pulse 5 is one of the most premium looking party speakers there is on the market. It has a very energetic, fun sound that should work well for a small party. Admittedly, there are better sounding party boxes out in the market. Sometimes the sound was not clear enough. The bass is located at the bottom of the speaker and does an alright job. I would give this a 10/10 for the look and premium feel of the product. The lights that change with the sound look. mesmerizing. The buttons feel pretty good. The sound from this speaker is not too bad but generic. All in all, it is a fun portable party speaker that should light up a small party, literally and is definitely an eye catcher.
